I make things on the web, mobile and in the actual world.
I've done lots of bits and bobs over the years, and right now I'm mostly working on this.
I enjoy speaking about things I like, most recently this. You can email me if you'd like, and I'm on twitter.

thats about the long and short of it. I knew someone once in South Africa who got took in by them, and eventually, once all his money and ability to contribute outside of just staffing their shops dissapeared, they told him there was no way he could progress any further. Still, even though he was resentful and bitter, he will defend the premise and practice of the 'religion'. Most likely to defend his involvement with it in the first place of course.

There's a big Church of Scientology in the main strip of downtown in my city. They offer those stress tests outside other business all over town.
I saw a documentary once about Scientology. It creeped me out.

amandarin- that's horrible. I hope your friend's doing ok.
Does anyone else find the number of high profile scientologists a bit scary? Still, it meant John Travolta wasted MILLIONS on Battlefield Earth. Heh heh. That's one less jet plane for you, Travolta.
I once had a biology teacher who was a born again Christian and thought he should be teaching us about original sin.
there are many stress test tables set up in the subways in nyc. i like to yell, fuck yeah i'm stressed, now get out of my way at them as i barrel past - throwing elbows the entire way.
Steve says:
I had my very own Scientology stress test this evening, I made it all the way through battlefield earth...... I think I maybe getting the onset of post traumatic stress disorder.
How did the religion ever function without this stress test? I'm sure it took some time to make.
Maybe they used cups with strings attached...
if you actually took the time to open your mind and learn some of its teachings about the human spirit then you would see that scientology is a religion.
Before you start mentioning xenu and other such incidents consider the fact that most of the world believe there is an invisible man in the sky watching them, now thats just as crazy as anything else.
