[@Brakvash]

+rkrokberg I think Ron lost a bet on humanity not possibly being stupid and gullible enough to pick up on his purposefully crackpot story. Having lost all faith he then attempted to kill the world by spreading Scientology.

[@Sngwritingisfeeling]

+rkrokberg If you go through interviews and statements he made in chronological order, he starts by seeming to have some humility and takes it all less seriously. Basically it's as if he doesn't want people to interpret his work literally, but he does think it has value on some sort of spiritual or philosophical level. As it progressed further and further he became intensely serious about it, and his hatred of psychiatry and psychology blossomed into something truly bizarre. Personally I think the former him was actually the money grabber, and the latter him bought into it completely. The former him enveloped the entire thing in corporatism well enough that that would never change. In many ways, the ridiculousness behind it all is the biggest part of the product he was selling, because selling solely his spiritual ideas that are really about bettering ourselves (in a flawed way) wouldn't be as effective as shrouding it in a thick layer of flashy fantasy. The later him was much different though, and absolutely insistent upon the spiritual value of what he had to say and perhaps even insistent upon his own divinity. Personally I think his own ego came in conflict with his conscience over what he was doing, and his ego won.

[@dunlapmusic8850]

Well, when these came out, as with any new product in Scientology, it's is called a "new release" or something like that, and members are pressured to buy copies and also to donate copies. If you are staff, you are given a quota to sell. They pressure you to buy cases of them to be distributed to libraries and whatnot. There haven't been a lot of music releases, so the main exposure you have to the music as a member is at "events". Scientology has I think around ten events per year for things like L Ron Hubbard's birthday, New Years Eve, Auditors Day (Scientology Auditors), IAS Anniversary, etc. They usually play the Joy of Creating and Road to Freedom CD's before and after the event as background music similar to regular human events.

Back in the 1970s I was going through some tough times and after talking to a Scientology member I thought maybe they could help. I went to one of their "Missions" and as soon as I walked in I was immediately hit up for money. I told them I was broke, which I was, and they suggested that I call someone to loan me the money. This took place during he first 15 min that I was there. I finaly agreed to attend the free orientation which consisted of talking to a Scientologist telling me how miserable my life is. He put me on the E-meter and the Tone Scale , which proved how much I needed Scientology. By this time I knew it was all BS. I was deep inside the large building so I figured I should cooperate. Agreed to attend the Communication course the next day and bring the money for the course. They let me go and I never went back. All they seemed to care about was getting money out of me, and didn't care how I got it.

+Darragh Tate Corea does hire non Scientologists into his band..but has been known to occasionally try and proselytize his beliefs, w/ inappropriate comments and remarks, creating some awkward situations. Two of his former guitarists mentioned this: Bill Connors - original RTF member, and Scott Henderson, original Electrik Band member...maybe it's some personal thing against guitarists in particular, because as far as I know, his long time bassist John Patittucci - himself a devout Catholic - never did.

[@Veri7a]

+Darragh Tate is that why Al left?

[@emusounds]

+Darragh Tate Not completely true. Al DiMeola never converted and played on 3 albums, and has talked about it recently on his facebook how a little weird it was, and also how Stanley rejoined the church to basically get back on Chick's good side.

They really should have chosen a better word than "auditing" if they wanted to attract people. Just makes me think they're with the IRS or something.

[@thisexists]

Brett Goldman You don't love doing your taxes?

[@LauraIsPink]

Kind of ironic isn't it? Especially when you consider the fast that scientology sued and harassed the crap out of the IRS in order to attain tax exemption.

[@armcannon3160]

Brett Goldman Well to be fair, "auditing" sounds better than "brainwashing".

[@queefmicester1189]

Scientologists are just trolls

[@meta1storm]

it's just a social experiment

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

A troll is someone who is disingenuous for the purpose of causing drama. Scientologists do not fit the definition. They are however extremely dangerous as an organization. For example, they shut down the Cult Awareness Network which helped families spot and intervene when family members are getting involved in a cult. They shut it down by simply filing so many frivolous lawsuits that CAN couldn't even afford a lawyer anymore. That's the evil thing about frivolous lawsuits. You still need to show up in court to defend yourself against them, and that means still having to pay a lawyer. You can counter sue for legal expenses, but when something like this is happening, the people doing the frivolous lawsuits don't have the money for paying a lawyer for the countersuit. As a result, you still can't pay your lawyer. So the people who were running CAN had to shut down and turn over ownership to Scientology because they ran out of legal aid to defend themselves against it.

[@queefmicester1189]

Jenny Tokumei ....that just sounds like Jews to me.

[@MrJojamiejo]

Jenny Tokumei I'm pretty sure David Muskavich (sp?) & Co. have the money for lawyers. $350 for the base book set that are revised every few years & which each member of the CoS MUST buy, plus auditing fees, tithes... Scientology has the money...

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

jamie jo, yeah... that's... the point... It's the people they troll with law suits that don't have the money to keep up with the law suits, people like the people who originally ran CAN before they were forced to turn it over to the CoS because they couldn't afford to keep defending against the CoS's frivolous lawsuits... What is it about the internet that makes people lose their reading comprehension skill?

[@bookaufman9643]

I grew up in a Scientology house and we had Scientology music sometimes playing in that house. My mom is a former jazz musician and so we listen to jazz albums like Chick corea and l Ron Hubbard's wife Diane Hubbard was a classical pianist and so we would have to listen to her crap as well. There's been a lot of pretty famous jazz musicians that have gotten in and out of Scientology over the years. People are more aware of it is a cult now but it used to be just a really big show biz thing that some musicians would think would further their careers. They don't tell you about the Xenu stuff until you've been around for a while. Now because of South Park everybody knows.

there is a hungarian band which is connected to scientology as well. it's called Aljas Kúszóbab. They try to sound like a pop-punk band to attract young peope but they suck really hard. it is just a one man project now because all the other members left the singer/songwriter, who is a scientologist asshole and some kind of marketing manager.

[@thisexists]

Feri Tudodmelyik This is great. Wish I had been able to include them. Thanks!

[@MultiMelodia]

This Exists you also got the band "Jive Aces", an over the top modern swing-jazz band who promote scientology during their tours and attribute quite a bit of their extreme stage energy to the "teachings" of the scientology faith. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jive_Aces#Promotion_of_Scientology

[@t0rment2004]

Wow, you made it the whole way through without mentioning Beck.

Thought about including him, but without any songs explicitly about his religion, didn't think it fully fit the theme. Still, so strange.

Beck as far as I know doesn't really have any Scientology content in his music, he just happens to be a Scientologist.

I thought everything from 2:50 onward, sounded pretty, damn, good, despite their twisted beliefs. This video was about their music - which I didn't even, know they had - and not their beliefs as such. The beliefs or how they enforce them, are crap and the music, actually, is not half bad. At least, much of what they presented here. A hell of a lot better than modern rap and hip-hop crap that's damn well sure. My Best. Out.

[@mackdeen7021]

Nah this is way worse. Christian rock/pop all sounds the same and it’s the same chord progression and more or less same lyrics but the production quality of the majority of their artists is at a very high standard. In fact the main stream music industry is now literally using the Christian rock model (production, chord change model, voice mixing etc) to throw out the majority of crap that gets in the radio. This Scientology music is not much worse but a lot of it sounds like it was recorded by Jr High art class. Some of it is absolutely ridiculously bad. Lmfao.
