Juliette Lewis Concert in Paris

A fellow blogger just posted a review and some pics of the Juliette Lewis concert in Paris: Juliette Lewis concert in Paris. Sounds like everyone had a good time.

One thing I (and the blog writer) found funny was the comment on the venue's website: "A punk attitude that does not prevent her from being an active member of the Church of Scientology."

The blog writer said: "... some people have an odd idea of what a Scientologist is."

One of the reasons for strange ideas about Scientologists is this: "Where there is no data available people will invent it." L. Ron Hubbard (From the article: "Public Relations Series #18"). We do our best to provide true data about Scientology and Scientologists, but people are not always willing to spend the little bit of extra time needed to get to the truth, so they either make stuff up or grab onto the first piece of nonsense they come across (and the media is always very willing to provide a quick sound-bite of nonsense).

So Juliette is a punk rocker. What has that got to do with her being a Scientologist?

I like Gothic Metal, Death Metal and Operatic Metal does that prevent me from being a Scientologist?

Next time you hear some piece of nonsense about Scientology (like Scientologists Don't Believe in ...) please take the time to find the truth or just ask me: I will answer your questions about Scientology.

Scientologists don't believe in ...

I get fed up with hearing self-proclaimed experts telling me what I do and don't believe. Case in point, just a week or two ago some twit on "The View" made the authoritative announcement that "Scientologists don't believe in autism."

Did she ask a Scientologist? No. Did she read it in a Scientology book? No. Did she read it in a Scientology publication? No. Did she read it on a Scientology web-site? No.

In fact L. Ron Hubbard (founder of the religion) never mentioned it anywhere in his writings. The Church of Scientology has never mentioned it in any of its publications and no representative of the Church speaking in the media has ever denied its existence. (It's not mentioned in the Bible either, so does that mean Christians don't "believe" in it? Of course not.)

So where do these media "experts" get this garbage from? I would guess rumor and lies because there is no actual valid source for such stupid pronouncements.

In fact on Sept 23rd, John Travolta acknowledged in court that his son Jett was autistic.

So why do the media talking heads continue to expound these lies? It all comes down to two things: controversy and conflict. Because those are thought to be two of the essential ingredients of news stories, the media tries to put them into every story. And apparently they do it even if it involves lying or twisting the facts.

So, if you are a reader of this blog and you want to know what Scientologists really do or don't believe, then just ask me. Leave a comment or go to this link: Questions About Scientology
