Need super powers? Join Scientology

It might have been. If so, the plaintiff was Larry Wollersheim.

I post on a couple of boards with Arnie Lerma and he's a walking dictionary of the cult. I'll see if he knows.

The Wollersheims... that's it!!!

Didn't Scientology actually wind up forced to pay, in spite of their "Not one thin dime" campaign?
 
I do try to avoid mocking peoples' religious faiths, despite being an aetheist myself. But I can't help but wonder if the institute of Scientology is testing to see what level of absurdities they can get away with. To quote the article...

"Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard taught that people have 57 “perceptics.” They include an ability to discern relative sizes, blood circulation, balance, compass direction, temperature, gravity and an “awareness of importance, unimportance.”"

So understanding spacial relations counts as a super power. (My college aptitude test covered superhuman abilities?)

Knowing how to avoid falling over is a super power. (Circus performers are super human?)

Knowing which way is up is a super power. (And here I thought that meant you were sober.)

Knowing compass directions is a sign of super powers. ("Who will save the city? Here comes Magellan Man and his sidekick, Kid Boy Scout, to save us all."

Knowing blood circulation counts as a super power. So the rest of us can't tell when a limb starts feeling numb, or starts turning blue? Ask one a Super Scientologist how many blood channels are in their left forearm, where they're at, the direction of bloodflow, and their relative speed to each other, and they'll probably just reply with something regarding "inadequate Thetan levels".

And these are the more "credible" super powers they're boasting, by my guess, to gain media credibility. Seriously, don't they already believe that the world needs saving from reprogrammed intergalactic souls who have been here longer than mankind, thanks to an intergalactic evil blue space octopi? What's next with this bunch?

I've been told that scientologists do not believe in calculus. If anyone knows if this is true and why the hell they think this, let me know. Even more unbelievable than the evil lord xenu stuff.

Does this make my ability to find the area or slope of simple curves --- AT WILL --- a super power, even more super because according to their tech it cannot be done? I'm this close to buying a spandex suit with a partial derivative symbol on it.
