Ziontology?

Orson Scott Card already judges a science fiction prize funded by L Ron Hubbard, so who knows what might happen!

Too funny. And don't forget that the president of the CoS is a former Mormon:

Hearing a religion talk about "legal activities" should be a giant red flag.

So, the LDS executives collect their pools of money and use it to buy real estate, mostly, right? What do the Scientologists do with their piles of cash?

Suggesting that CoS & LDS Inc. are the same regarding lack of financial transparency?

Utah's number one crop is dupes, so why not?

It's interesting that they would choose Utah. I'll bet some of the reasons are:

1. They want to be closer to the LDS Church because they are trying to model themselves after the Church. There are several examples of this "modeling" and mirroring.

2. They want to be closer to the celebrities who live in Park City.

3. They are an evil organization that wants to spread their influence among the disaffected Mormons. (Their "tech" is known as: THE TECHNOLOGY OF SPIRITUAL EVIL).

I hope they receive tremendous opposition to their presence.

Also interesting that Christian Scientists (what few are left) have to always explain to people that they are NOT "Scientologists."

My idea for the ultimate cult: "The International Worldwide Church of Christian Sciencology for the Triumphant Unification of Krishna's Latter-day Witnesses."

Hare Hare! Praise Xenu!

Would that be "The Fundamentalist International Worldwide Church of Christian Sciencology for the Triumphant Unification of Krishna's Latter-day Witnesses" or "The Reorganized International Worldwide Church of Christian Sciencology for the Triumphant Unification of Krishna's Latter-day Witnesses"?

"Mary Jane Sterne has not seen her daughter Samantha in 1,798 days."

Mary Jane loves her daughter and would desperately like to see her again. Samantha was a beautiful college student who had her whole life ahead of her. She and Mary Jane had a great relationship. Then the cult sucked Samantha in and she signed a billion year contract with the organization. Mary Jane does not know where her daughter is.

Yes, that whole section at the bottom of the page was striking. (For reference, an LDS mission is ~730 days, and only somewhat isolated from friends/family in comparison.)

What a sick, evil and ultimately STUPID organization. How do they expect to grow their so-called Church when they REQUIRE abortions in the Sea Org, separate children from their parents, separate spouses and destroy their marriages, etc.???

But I'll bet that because they've moved in on SLC, they will do the Church schtick about "families forever".

You watch .... Scientology copies so much of what the LDS Church does, then adds their own L.R. Hubbard spin. And Hubbard was a diabolical and twisted occultist.

But Nelson and Oaks don't literally physically assault people like one David Miscavige . They just mentally beat people up . Mormonism is small potatoes when it comes to cult behavior in comparison to Scientolgy. I watched most of Leah Remini's TV show and could not believe what the COS is capable of .

LDS is a walk in the park compared to Scientology. LDS have no equivalent to the SeaOrg really in terms of brutality and punishment and leaving Mormonism is a hell of a lot easier. Read up on people who try to leave Scientology - it's scary.

The LDS are far more like JWs and Christian Science than Scientology. Scientology has no Bible base for one, and Scientology bests the LDS for the sheer amount of time and money it takes. Scientology is a kind of mutant counseling gone wrong.

....Unless you were Brenda Lafferty who ended up bearing the brunt of the Lafferty Brother's faithFOOLness to MORmON Cult religion, as Ron Lafferty and Dan Lafferty emulated MORmON founders Joseph Smith and Brigham Young as much as possible and who took the MORmON temple ceremony penalties very seriously.

Thankfully that kind of MORmON devotion is a rarity

Amazingly, Brenda's original family, the Wrights, are still very devoted to the MORmON religion that was such an integral part of the murder of their daughter / sibling. see the comments for the video

Quote: "Brenda did not die over mormonism...what ever that is."
So, you are saying that the Mormon religion did not play an integral role in Brenda's murder? You also seem to be suggesting that there is no such thing as mormonism as in the Mormon religion, but the Salt Lake City Mormon temple is prominently displayed on Brenda's grave stone marker. Could you please explain.

If you feel inclined to share the contents of Brenda's journal to clarify anything about Brenda's (tragic) murder, then please go right ahead and do it. Tell us where we can read what Brenda said/ recorded/ wrote, and how it supports what you are saying. We will be listening very intently.

The post under the video is miss captioned. Brenda did not die over mormonism...what ever that is. If you are going to post please take the time and do the research. Its a 29+ year old case that her family is still actively involved with. I know that the media has implied that the Lafferty's faith had something to do with her and my niece's murder however if you go through all of the evidence and testimony and read Brenda's journal you would know what the real story was.

This is my sisters grave site. I am curious as to why you have posted this video.

Please...what is the purpose of this video?

************************************************************************
I know that Ron and Dan Lafferty would NOT be considered to be the most reputable guys around, However when they say that MORmONISM was the root cause of their actions, I have a tendency to believe them, especially as the MORmON pattern is manifested in their actions !!!!!!!


remarkably Ron's and Dan's faithFOOLness and attendant experiences finally lead them out of MORmONISM as it lead them into prison. They finally learned their lesson about MORmONISM being false, too bad they had to murder their toddler niece to do it.

However, Lafferty siblings are still faithFOOL and devoted to MORmONISM .....but thankfully not to the extent that Ron and Dan used to be !!!

Allen Lafferty wants to share his experiences of going to the temple with his wife (the new wife who does not have her throat cut according to the MORmON temple ceremony) .....for some reason, Allen Lafferty does NOT have much to say in the video about his first wife as he talks about the MORmON temple and how much joy that the temple has brought into his life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsZLZmCtwT4

Thankfully, most MORmONS are really gutless (however mouthy) wimps who only embrace the teachings of their MORmON religion to a very selective very limited partial extent. IF MORmONS really were paying attention to the foundational precepts and admonitions of their MORmON cult religion ( like Ron and Dan Lafferty did) then there would be Lafferty style incidents on a regular basis (you know, like there is so often in Islam) ....or else dump MORmONISM in the interest of decency and not having to kill MORmON dissidents !!!!

it is almost AS IF MORmONS really do not listen to their leaders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K88-oo4VZXg



I have to give *credit* to my faithFOOL MORmON male parent, I really believe he would have given me the Laban treatment for criticizing and leaving his beloved MORmON cult religion with out a second thought IF there had NOT been any legal implications ........like being prosecuted for murder. unlike Ron and Dan Lafferty he would remain faithFOOL and true and devoted to his MORmONISM after having dispatching a family member.

no doubt that LD$ inc leaders are probably not real happy about Scientology putting up an operating office on their home turf, but as the gutless creeps that they really are, who can only attack children or rather benign targets, they probably wont say much out of fear of incurring scientologist wrath
