    What happened to the what the fuck- Scientology thread?

    Andy can post stuff about questionable business practices of Neptune's, but somebody speaks out against a far more sinister business operating as a front for a cult and taking advantage of job hunters and then gets banned and has the thread deleted?

    Seriously, what the fuck?

    that's not the usual TGR m.o. as we all know - but I wouldn't be all that surprised if they had already shipped a lovely C&D over to the forum owners...and while TGR doesn't have to remove it, they probably just don't want to deal with the crap from it / them. I don't blame them for that. those guys are real pains in the asses about this stuff.

    Scientology=Weak Sauce

    If any religion, philosophy, business, political stance, etc cannot debate their critics with sound logic backing their stance and instead uses muscle power to silence them, then it has no real validity.

    How can you claim that you have anything good to say, if all you ever do is silence critics.

    LAME


    PS Tom Cruise is totally in the closet and your religion is a pyramid scheme.

    I thought religions relied on faith, not proof and logic?

    Well for the most part they do, but even the most evangelical "the world is only 6,000 years old, evolution is a lie" branches of Christianity will at least offer a counterpoint to their detractors. Granted I may not usually agree with their counterpoint which is usually, "we believe this because it's our faith, the "evidence and facts" are merely there to test our beliefs", I do respect them greatly for standing behind their belief when questioned. That shows true belief and the potential for validity in their beliefs.

    Scientologists running away from any argument to me just says "hey I got suckered out of some cash, I want some money back, I'm going to keep this pyramid rolling".

    So sue me Scientology because I believe you are a scam and I flex my 1st amendment rights to say so.

    Posting here to see what happens.

    Jobsearcher, I've been looking for a full-time job for after graduation, and now your Scientology () interview story creeps into my mind every time I read a posting that sounds to good to be true...

    Read the title (Hint: [ame="https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2515793#post2515793"]What happened to the what the fuck- Scientology thread?)[/ame]

    And I am assuming that since the OP is jobsearcher1, his original name of jobsearcher has been banned...

    I'll post it, but only with permission from Advers- don't want him to ban my normal user name. I also don't want TGR to be liable for an claims of defamation, no matter how frivolous they may be.

    Story goes, I had an interview at a company claiming to be a software firm. They were affiliated with Scientology and quite possibly a front for scientology recruitment. Things got really strange when they tried to coerce me into taking part in a scientology based "screening" as a requirement for moving on in the hiring process. I questioned this, and they freaked out on me. I then left.

    The company is affiliated with the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE), part of the church of scientology.

    It was a fun thread in which I happily participated. But if you really want to give them a good fisting you'll probably get more bang for your anti-Fowler sentiments outside a forum on a ski chat board, anyway.
