No, I don't have HBO but I'm looking forward to watching it on HBO NOW in a week or two.

There's also sort of a Roman à clef called "The Master" with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. I've got it in my Netflix queue and will probably watch it this week.

Tell your deep dark secrets to another, and pay BIG $$$$$ for it. To only be blackmailed later?????

You got it. Snake oil and all. Tom Cruise came off as a f**kin' raving, paranoid egomaniac. :eek:

I've always known this so called self help organization was a little weird but ...WOW! They beat down the IRS?

No offense to any Scientologists but seek psychiatric help if you've bought into this thing.

If infested, what else is there for a human to do?

As far as L. Ron goes, his space opera novel Battlefield Earth was a fun read.

A hustle specifically designed to fleece the wealthy, masquerading as a religion. How did that happen again?

Well L. Ron was a half-assed sci-fi novelist so he had to make a living somehow
