A web forum dedicated to distributing information about Scientology has uncovered an out-of-print German book written by Dr. Anastasius Nordenholz, originally published in 1934, called "Scientologie". Those who have read it claim it bears a stunning resemblance to works written by Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard thirty years later. A sample of the original (from here):
Nordenholz calls for a "science of knowledge" thusly, creating the term 'Scientology'. "The task of Scientology is the erection of the systems of knowledge, of understanding, of comprehension per se. Knowledge is the common material of all other sciences. It follows therefore that the science of knowledge itself is the key-science of the overall system of the sciences of the world. All other sciences of the world have the science of knowledge as their presuppositions…".
I got to the part where it said "the erection" then I just started to giggle but it does sound like the same kind of stuff L Ron wrote. Except he jazzed it all up with alien wars and spaceships. It makes it more exciting. Similarly, I took a copy of the Wall Street Journal and drew a dinosaur on it and then started my own non-fakey Hollywood religion. I call it Dinonomics.
WELL CUNTULATE MY TITTYSATIN SHITASS, ITS A PLAGIARIST
So L. Ron was not just a nut job, but a plagarist too? Color me unsurprised.
yeah, well dr. so and so was not divinely inspired. so there.
also he was a nazi. fuck him.
hail xenu.
Tom need to put his ethics in on him….whatever the eff that means.
I would imagine that soon a lawsuit will be taken out to suppress this vile attempt at discrediting this "religion." Tom Cruise will make a video declaring aliens are real and that Katie nails him in the ass with a big black dildo while he hums the theme to Bonanza while watching the smurfs on video!
Wow!!!!!!
Scientologists can travel back in time?
I'm signing up……as soon as they let me fuck a few Hollywood "Starlets".
in don't get it? aliens speak german….meh
Oh, so WWTDD is taking on Scientology now?
Watch out, that means you won't be getting all of those insider exclusives from Tom and Katie, Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, etc.
That, and your eyeball fluid will suddenly start to boil, your credit rating will be ruined, and visions of a naked Roseanne Barr will haunt your dreams.
You have been warned.
Not to bring logic and reason into a discussion of scientology, but there was already a word for the "science of knowledge" — it's called epistemology.
palates is no longer allowed
Anyone who can get past three pages of anything written by that no-talent hack Hubbard is either crazy or Tom Cruise (also crazy).
The truly remarkable thing is that this news item and even Br8nd8n's post haven't already been attacked and removed by Scien

ZENU HATH SPOKEN
ALL HAIL ZENU
I hope this ruins the "religion." We are going to hear a lot of back peddling from the leaders. I'd still hit Katie though.
So, L. Ron in his capacity as a "clear" time traveled back to 1934 in the form of a German and wrote this. What's the problem? Doesn't this shit happen to you people every day? Seriously, what is wrong with you people? Are you under psychoanalysis?
–Tom Cruise
Doctress, I don't want to know how you managed to be close enough for long enough to get a Tom Cruise quote. I probably would have been overtaken by the urge to punch him roughly 5-7 words in.
FREE KATIE!
Slaappy calls for a "science of getting my dick wet" thusly, creating the term 'Slaappydickology'. "The task of Slaappydickology is the erection of Slaappy simply put per se. Knowledge of sex is the common material of all other sciences of getting my dick wet. It follows therefore that the science of BeeJ’s itself is the key-science of the overall system of the sciences of the world.
So, Slaappydickology is basically as much a fantasy as Scientology?
I cannot wait to hear "scientologies" response to this . Priceless.
not to bring intelligence or knowledge of german into a smarmy name dropping contest featuring epistemology,
but i'm pretty sure the use of the participle von here is meant to suggest that the science in question (where science is not a perfect translation of the german term either, btw) constitutes a study of methods of "healthy" knowing
this could easily comport with a nazi or scientologist worldview. it is also probably a lot of bullshit and that is why nobody but a hack sci fi writer bothered to read it.
but hey, SMGG, PM me when you finish your undergraduate degree and we can get together to discuss your future career path. i'll give you a freebie and suggest retail management.
I kind of believe in scientology. How else do you explain Tom Cruise fucking a starbucks guy up the ass and touring his taint, then his wife gets pregnant?
It's amazing. Or there's a penis behind the scenes. You decide.
scientology's response to this: it is not but to say that serpent brown, render will.
