See the dealer's holecard!

I'm about to get off topic here but ZG are you a scientologist still? I don't know anything about it but with all the Tom Cruise attention its been getting lately I'm curious to what it is? Do you believe in their teachings or is it a cult and a scam. I have an acquaintance who joined and I know he paid some rediculous amount of money (almost $2000) to have something called an audit done where they hooked him up to a machine called an E-Meter. Than of course they told him he needed to buy some more expensive courses but he can't afford them yet!

I found a list of scientology prices here: http://xenu.net/archive/CoS_prices.html

a) 6 month begiining membership - free
b) Annual membership - 300 US $
c) Lifetime membership - 2,000 US $
d) Sponsor - 5,000 US $
e) Crusader (New!) - 10,000 US $
f) Honor Roll - 20,000 US $ or 20 new members for the IAS recruited
g) Patron - 40,000 US $
h) Patron with Honors - 100,000 US $
i) Patron Meritorious - 250,000 US $
j) Gold Patron Meritorious - 1,000,000 US $
k) Senior Honor Roll - 100 new members for the IAS recruited or "contributed to IAS expansion in some stellar fashion".

So apparently the God(s) of Scientology like rich people better than poor people!

**EDIT: I just found out that Scientology was started by a science-fiction writer! I guess people will believe anything.

Thise aren't even the prices of of the "services", the auditing and the training - which are many times in excess of those membership fees. zg

They had this in rolling stone and quoted the guy who created it saying "i need to start a religion thats where all the money is" they also talked about how they targeted movie stars (people with $) amazing what people will believe...

I quit after tape 1!

Supercoolmancool went through the course and wrote a review of it somewhere in this forum. I don't think he recommened it. He is going to try a different remote viewing course soon. One that is supposedly better, and more scientific.

I once heard some story about a lady with a special ring. It had some sort of special focus lens that when she rested her hands on the table it would magnifiy at the right angle and she could clearly see the dealer hole card.

I've heard of people using their wristwatches, bracelets, cigarette lighters, even the shiny chip tray for the same purpose. Unfortunately, it is completely illegal.
