: I know what you mean. Scientology seems like a scary cult-type
thing & I was disappointed to hear that our man Lee is wrapped up in
that racket.
: Travolta is a freak.
We've all been through this before. I don't want to get into a
Scientology debate on Kevin's board, but please, show some
respect. Scientology is a religion. Think about how that could be
offensive to me, you being 'bummed'. Are you not going to watch my
movies now? Am I not as cool anymore? Am I no longer that cool guy
that comes to the board all the time to chat with all the cool people of
the viewaskewniverse? Would you be 'bummed' if you found out I was
Jewish? You may not think of it as being the same, but it is. Thanks
for listening.
Jason.
:
: It seems like every actor that gets remotely famous gets into
Scientology, I really don't understand it. Sure if you chose a
religion/belief because you feel it is right for you after investigation
then kudos, yet it seems like a secret society is going on ("hold it
sir/maam, you made 3 films? yep ok your in, read Diantetics & here's
your E-meter") in Hollywood.
: : I can respect other's beliefs, but from what I've seen Scientology
can be dangerous (Lisa McPherson - see link, and on a lesser
degree Tom & Nicole).
: : This message is for Jason Lee only, whatever path you chose
Jason just do it safely dude, and if after clicking on the link below you
feel comfortable being a Scientologist then kudos to you, but at least
read Lisa's unfortunate story and see if it in any way compares to your
life.
