wow bgodley ,must feel good to get that off your chest
the human mind is the only living entity on earth that can manifest evil
thats why people murder, lie, abuse, steal , harass, stalk etc... ie Scientology pretty much sums that statement up of evil manifested!
there is also a level of believability( like evidence that this existed) in every religion has but scientology is just to far fetched, what is your Jerusalem a DC12?
and Scientology is also a religion that is the news every other day for some crime its been associated with. I dont see my pastor being convicted for fraud or breaking into the IRS. I dont see Buddhists receiving lists of names they need to harass, stalk maybe even kill.
the point is why would you want to associate yourself with such problems that is riddled in scientology, your life is probably better off without it and hey you might live to 80, still have money and not have a schizophrenic break down. i think thats a pretty good deal

i actually have personally viewed people being removed from looking at a scientology church. apparently your also not allowed to film the outside or take pictures of it. there are so many video's out there proving this.
South Africa is a very different to what you could possibly ever imagine, its not an exaggeration when i say people are going to be pissed off with having a scientology church in our area. we embrace diversity amongst the cultures( cultures not cults) that we already have here and I am so proud to be South African for that reason. Scientology is an American fad and has no foot to stand on in this country well at least not in kyalami,and even tho our cultures are different we all generally have the same religion. I'd like to see you go tell my domestic worker about xenu, she's going to think your possesed by a tokoloshi or a demon and run for the hills. maybe the white community will be ever so slightly more susceptible to the scam that is this church but i can tell you right now the black community will burn down that place before they allow cults and evil into this society. No xhosa is about to forget their anccestors, no zulu is going to ditch their isangoma, you have no idea what sacred stuff your tapping on here!
you have a tough job ahead of you if you think anyone is going to believe in this stuff, what you need to understand is that everyone here already has a religion and a culture, trust me even an atheist is not about to believe in aliens! if you think some audit machine is going to change the frequency of your brain , recieve some kind of enlightenment and make you immortal then good for you you win a million points,

however while South africa may be a 3rd world country the Scientology church isn't going to recruit alot of people, this is an area with a very high education system, all the schools are private and kids are taught Christian priciples there. in all honesty most of the people here are going to laugh at the scientologists and think they are crazy...which they are CLEARLY! not to mention that they are going to piss the whole of kyalami off by converting a historic site into a freak cult church. that place was built in the 1920's and has always been open to the public, from what i've seen you cant even stand outside a scientology church and look at it if your not a member, you get removed!

well it makes sense because yes they are going scam a 3rd world country but they are scamming the wealthy part of the 3rd world country, its just too obvious what they are after...and clearly will do anything to get it.
if this was really about just the religion they would put their creepy ass church in the middle of a township( south african version of slums but a million times more dangerous and worse) and offer what they have for free just like the biggest Christian church next to baragwanath hospital in soweto.

(cont)... , v8 and production cars on the kyalami race track like a meter below the castle. kyalami is a very upmarket area and we are not going to have some criminal organization taking over thats for sure. some of the comments on here about kidnapping and crime that is involved in this organisation are freaking me out big time. we have enough crime as it is! with rape and murder being so high in the country!
no one in south africa really knows what Scientology is about. i dont even understand this crap but its not welcome here thats for sure!

the kyalami castle is just down the road from my house. i can see it from my balcony, its a place me and my friends go to watch sunsets and have drinks. I can tell you now there is going to be big issues with turning this heritage site into some freaky religious church. in kyalami your either Christian or atheist, people here are not going to put up with scientologists. the kyalami castle is rented out as an entertaimment venue for matric dances( i had mine there) and on sundays you can have a champagne breakfast and have a private view of all the bike racing....
