Forget making up a "scientology," they made up a language, too: "my Dynamics" and "hatting"

[UTUSN]

If the dude's "Dynamics" is affected, does he lose his Clear card?!1 Is "hatting" something involving Greek fisherman's caps, preferably in cotton-poly because wool is too hot?!1

My flailing at humor here belies my true fear.

[font size=5]Scientologist Leader Urges Censorship of Media: ‘Stand Up and Defend Our Religion’[/font]

by Louis Peitzman

.... The email was sent to Ray McKay, whom Rathbun calls "a well-known OSA operative." In the email, the author, Daniele Lattanzi, refers to the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes divorce and the negative attention it has brought to Scientology.

“I am not a big fan of media, but you may have glanced the news of the split between TC and Holmes and all the speculations around. While this is a personal matter, when people start to bring our religion into the middle and a bunch of uninformed people start to spread false datum, rumors and defame our religion it became a matter that does affect my Dynamics and I believe that affects yours as well.

“Well, I am not somebody that I am going to simply stand and watch a bunch of uninformed people putting my religion under the carpet. So here is a simple hatting on how you can causative fight back and at the same time stand up and defend our religion on the internet.”


What follows is a step-by-step guide to censoring coverage of Scientology on the internet by reporting "abuse." Lattanzi suggests scanning TomKat articles for comments that "defame or degrade" Scientology. This concerted effort, he believes, will have an impact on stopping the spread of negative information. ....


On his blog, Rathbun has spent years documenting these attempts at censorship and subterfuge by Scientology — all of which are denied by Church officials. The harassment Rathbun has faced is supposedly the work of individual Scientologists and not condoned by the Church, something Rathbun is certain isn't true. ....

1. Destructive cult or benign religion?

Orthodox religions dont strive to gain control over your money and everyday life.
Cults that are high control are Scientologist and the cult that I was in the Jehovahs Witnesses.Scientology teaches that humans are infected by the souls of dead aliens called Thetans.
Jehovahs Witnesses teach Jesus had his second coming invisibly October 5th or 6th 1914.
Benevolent religions offer hope, compassion, and want peace for your fellow man - even the nonbelievers.
A cult wants power,money, and obedience. All the outsiders must be destroyed (Armageddon). I think that's the big distinction between two different belief systems.

10. "Orthodox religions dont strive to gain control over your money and everyday life." Ummmm.....

I am no fan of Scientology, and no fan of religion in general

ALL religion is a sham

2. I'm causatively putting this one under the carpet.

I am not someone that I can sit here and glance this horrendous abuse of grammar and syntax brought into the middle. This person needs a thorough hatting on the true datum.
