Well some of the Scientologists hanging around Clearwater were attractive in their uniforms. Not enough to make me want to join though.

How bad are Scientologists in Clearwater? (Dunedin, Plant City: buy, live, dangerous) - Tampa Bay - Florida (FL) -Tampa - St. Petersburg - Clearwater - Page 3 - City-Data Forum

They're members of Sea Org that wear those uniforms.

Maybe when they actually find alien DNA in our genome, I'll change my mind

The Neanderthal's could have been aliens ?

They seemed to be wearing different outfits back in the late 1990s and early 2000s when I lived near Clearwater in Palm Harbor. Not the Sea Org full dress uniforms.

This is an interesting article on Scientologists from Rolling Stone Inside Scientology | Rolling Stone

Cold Spring has identified we in fact do have Neanderthal DNA. They didn't go extinct as previously thought, we made love instead. Northern Italy is the epicenter of the most Neanderthal DNA within our present species.

I have been wondering about this for a good while. You know, that makes sense.

Yep, the Neanderthals weren't stupid at all, just different.

Actually that is the one premise of scientology that holds a plausible explanation for this so called missing link in man's evolution that scientist speak. It would invalidate evolution theories as we understand them now. I mean we are approaching the ability to craft designer babies, Not so far fetched??

The rest of scientology can be termed ocular rectitis

We had a dentist in the SF Bay area who was a Scientologist. He sent his two young daughters, 12 & 14, to live in the Sea Org in LA in the mid 90's. They could still be there (?).

He would hire temporary dentists to handle his office while he was at "Flag" in Clearwater for months at a time getting plumbed up with the program - believe they called it being "audited".

He recruited a number of his office staff into becoming Scientologists.

I read Leah Rimini's book called "Troublemaker" about her lifelong experience with Scientology. Very eye-opening.
