    Anybody see South Park last night(11-16-05)? Scientology, along with Tom Cruise and John Travolta got the typical South Park treatment.

    During one segment that had the leader of the 'church' explaining what they believed they ran a subtitle on the sreen that said, "this is what scientologists actually believe". I don't exactly know what they believe but if that was actually true, well, I thought Mormons and JWs were fucked up, but that shit takes the cake.

    First they blasted Mormons, now Scientology. Hopefully, they'll take aim at JWs next.

    Didnt see it but the morman one was funny.

    (dumb, dumb, dumb)

    Dad: All right, you rascals. Gather round. [the kids draw closer to thei dad] Joseph Smith lived in a little American town in the early 1800s. [A little American town in the early 1800s. A man rides by in a small carriage pulled by one horse. In the distance, Joseph Smith strolls into town]

    Singers: Joseph Smith was called a prophet
    Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
    He started the Mormon religion
    Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

    Blacksmith: There goes that kooky Joseph Smith

    Customer: You know, he claims he spoke with God and Jesus.

    Woman: Well, how do you know he didn't?

    Singers: Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
    Joseph Smith was called a prophet-

    Butler: Hey, Joseph! I told my wife that you spoke with God and Jesus, and she didn't believe it.

    Smith: Well it's true. I did.

    Wife: Where?

    Smith: I was out in the woods, praying [a shot of him on his knees in the woods] I was asking God if I should be a Protestant, or a Catholic, or what? And suddenly God and Jesus appeared before me. [a bright light appears before him and he shields his eyes from the glare] And they said I should start my own church, because none of the others had it right. [the flashback ends] And that's exactly how it happened.

    Butler: You see? You believe it now?

    Wife: Well yeah, sure. Why would he make that up?

    Singers: Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
    Many people believed Joseph
    Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
    And that night he-ee saw an angel
    Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

    Smith: [in bed inside a shack] And please bless Mother and Father, and please keep our bellies full of yum-yums and luscious goodies. [a flash of light and a glowing orb carroms around the room] AAAHH! [the orb turns into an angel] Oh my gosh!

    Angel: I am Moroni. I am a Native American.

    Smith: A... [looks at the camera] Native American? [looks at Moroni] But your skin is white.

    Moroni: Yes. Long ago all Native American were white. We all came to America from Jerusalem. And while we were here we were visited by Christ.

    Smith: [looks at the camera] Jesus live here in America?

    Moroni: Yes. Eventually, my people were all killed by the other tribe of Israel, and as punishment, God turned their skin red. These are the Native Americans you know today. [Smith looks at the camera dumbstruck]

    Singers: Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

    Moroni: There is an ancient book buried near here, written on gold plates that account my people's lives. Also buried with the book are two seer stones, the Urim and Thummim, which will allow you to translate the writings. Find it, and fulfill your destiny. [brightens and then vanishes]

    Smith: Wooww... [gets up and dressed. He exits his shack]

    Singers: Joseph Smith was called a prophet
    Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
    [back to the present]

    Dad: And we all know what happened then, don't we?

    Kids: Yeah! I know!

    Stan: What happened then? [a small timer rings]

    Mom: Ooo, the Rice Crispy squares are done!

    Kids: Rice Crispy squares! Yay! All right! Rice Crispy squares!

    Dad: Hey gang, let's wrap some more of them up in plastic wrap and hand them out to the poor!

    Gary: Awesome! I can't wait!

    Jenny: Yeah! [the family rises from the couch and leaves]

    Gary: You coming, Stan?

    Stan: No, I was supposed to be home at eight.

    Dad: Awww, that's too bad. Well, it was really nice meeting you, Stan. [the family returns and hugs Stan]

    Mark, Jenny: Bye Stan!

    See? Those guys have 'nads!

    Scan the entire WT CD for Scientology, and you'll find two lame "weak-tea" passive references.

    Why do you think tht might be?

    1. Because cults of a feather feed together.

    2. Because a Scientology Lawyer can kick a Dub Lawyer's ass eight ways from Tuedsay with one suit tied behind his back, just to make it fair.

    3. Because the defenders of truth and Jehovah's Universal sovereignty haven't heard of Scientology.

    4. Because Fred Franz had a telepathic Bible Study with ElRon and they were buds (see #1). ElRon said, "Fred, you're clear," and Fred said, "Ron, Jehovah's spirit testifies with my spirit that you are a spirit begotten son of god in the freedom of forever without end, Amen."

    Didn't see it. But if the show talked about how the Scientologists believe some alien named Xenu trapped a bunch of people in a volcano and then blew it up with nuclear bombs, then yep, they had it right. At least that is how their leaked "secret" documents read.

    That was it.

    At first you have to figure that these guys are nuts for accepting some science fiction writings as some kind of gospel, but if you think about it, that's what all religions do, except they believe the Bible, Koran or some other "holy" book.

    Ughh....I missed it and this morning heard how funny it was! I'm hoping it comes on again this weekend.

    man, that was hilarious! i especially liked all the references to sueing at the end.

    SCIENTOLOGIST: "You can't talk about our religion like that! We're gonna sue you! You are so sued!"

    STAN: "Yeah?! I don't care! So sue me!"

    at least they're apparently ready for legal repercussions. i liked how the credits just listed "John Smith" and "Jane Smith" for the names of all the crew/cast members. for legal protection maybe?
