    Check out these ads about Scientology. Scarey because they are actually well done. Imagine if the WTS created high-quality ads on a national media campaign, I bet they would get more converts than wasteful door-to-door work.

    Damn, those were pretty well done. You're right: scary.

    They are nice commercials... but they say NOTHING. WHAT is this religion just created by an author of science fiction? WHY all the seacrecy? WHY do you seem to have to be rich to join? WHats up with aliens?

    WTBS had a few commercials, i remember...RARELY...right? they were just about the whole "positive few of the future" (that was always my opening line in service...ahhh the days....)

    At least they can present themselves well, but there's so much of a freak show around that religion, it doesn't change my view that they're a BIG TIME CULT.

    That's the point. The commercials are designed to pique someone's interest in learning more about them. Of course interested ones are only supposed to look at official sources: scientology.org. Sound familiar? lol

    Of course it doesn't change that fact!

    Very true.

    I thought I was looking at a Nike commerical or something.

    I was waiting to see the logo and the "Just Do It" tag line.

    Or the more I think about it, it would have been a great commercial for CNN .....

    At the end, James Earl Jones with his baritone voice says, "This is CNN"

    What they do is make the cult APPEAR normal and mainstream.

    The borg has 1-hour infomercials on tv about once a month.

    It's a totally whitewashed version of the facts. They seem mainstream, harmless, and not coerced.

    PS-Check out the comments posted on YouTube. They're mostly positive. Scary-- people are so easily fooled.

    I saw that. I wondered if the comments were actually posted by Scientology members....
