- Quotes
Host: Something happened in the world that was a bright piece of hope for man. Such a thing occurs every few hundred, or a thousand years. Some genius rises, and man takes a new step toward a better life, a better culture. There is a difference with Dianetics and Scientology. *It* has *never* happened before, in all the countless years of time. In this brief moment, we have our temporary chance for handling and continuing life. Clouds loom over this culture and planet. In this short interval, in this one place, we have our freedom before us. We *can* arise above the decay - the final flash that will inevitably extinguish this planet. It is not our mission to save it. It is our mission to free you. You are an immortal being. Your life will not halt because this planet halts. You can go on. Now we could play this very low-key. We could sort of giggle and say, "We can help you a little to lead a slightly happier life." Yes, we could say that. Stating that, if you cooperated, we could make you more cheerful. But that would be like offering someone a diamond, and saying it was glass. Right this instant, you are at the threshold of your next trillion years. You will live it in shivering agonized darkness, or you will live it triumphantly in the light; the choice is yours, not ours. If you, this minute, say, "I will, for better or for worse, go on in Scientology," you will open the door to your own future. If you say otherwise, you slam tomorrow shut in your own face. I'm sorry, but that's the way it really is.
- Crazy credits"Persons appearing in this video are thanked for their contribution which was solely in the form of acting and not as technical nor editorial assistance." (No one is credited or identified by name except for L. Ron Hubbard, Norman Starkey, and the production company.)

I have seen recently in the media articles containing content related to said "religion" mostly with actors (Tom Cruise) stating that, and i quote "If we come across a car accident we must stop, we have to do this because we are the only ones who can do anything" Umm well unless you are a Doctor, qualified paramedic, nurse, a holder of a first aid certificate or have some knowledge of first aid at the very least then HOW just HOW are you the members of Scientology the only ones that can help/do anything? In my years of service in the Ambulance service i have not yet come across one person who does not fill the above criteria who has been able to "outdo" so to speak, the afore mentioned skills/criteria.
2nd point/comment: Recently on a local TV show in the am i was privy to seeing a journalist from the USA tell his story on the church of Scientology and the celebrities who are part of it, one comment this man made was "Celebrities who join the 'C.O.S' tend to be Gay, but they hide this fact by getting married, having children and become highly respected members of the C.O.S" and then went on to say, "Oops, i should not have said that should i?*laughing*" The only one i can think of off the top of my head was Tom Cruise, well kind of makes you think huh? What makes their 'religion' any better than the rest? These people need to take a long hard look at themselves and realise that no one person/entity is any better than any other...
