I sure hope someone plans on taking this meeting.
Why? You can find all the bad science fiction you want at any book store.
I smell a fresh assignment for Our Worst Enemy...
Hm. We're pretty tough on lots of religions around here--we ran the Danish cartoons, we make fun of dying popes, we're obsessed with Mormon underpants. Why should we be nicer to Scientardogists?
oh, girl, you is in trouble now...jenna elfman, travolta, 'mrs' travolta, kirstie alley, beck, cruise, the current 'mrs' cruise, that awful actress from king of queens; they're all gonna show up at your doorstep to scare the thetans out of yous...
No, you should go! It'll be hilarious--just think of the fodder for future articles and slogs.
madrid would be HILARIOUS at the church of scientology! the idea makes me giddy!
This reminds me of an elaborate revenge plot a child would come up with.
child #1: "I'm sorry we were fighting. Let's be friends. Here I made you some lemonade"
child #2: "Okay, thanks. HEY! this isn't lemonade! This is pee!
child #1: "ha, ha, ha"
I say go for it. Ask them how you can take seriously any religion that copyrights their sacred texts.
Copyrights, shmopyrights. Just very idea of "sacred text" is ludicrous in the extreme.
Aside from sharing preconceptions of Scientology (preconceptions that I share) has anyone on this thread indicated why the meeting shouldn't take place? If The Stranger is going to comment so often on the Church and its activities, isn't meeting with their PR chick part of the job?
I have no problem with mocking religions, provided that one has some factual understanding of the religion and isn't just perpetrating baseless stereotypes.
David, you hit the nail right on the head. But you should go with her. I fear for her safety if she goes alone.
Rule Number One to the Mocking of Religions:
It has to be a religion.
They may have bamboozled the IRS, but not the sacred secularists of Slog.
so they do not stand outside their building and try to stop people on the street to get them interested they send out letters now asking to explain their point of view. Just another angle.
Nothing like a fake religion to bring the loony tunes out.
oh, and bring a lawyer.
PR flunkies are one thing, but please don't make Cienna watch Battlefield Earth. That would be too cruel.
Hail Xenu!
The scientologists are spying on you right now...

How creepy is that sign-off?
Don't do it! Send an intern.
I have many doubts about Scientology, but in this case the writer has a legitimate beef.
It's all about the Stranger and its shit-for-journalism-principles. The paper rarely, if ever, seeks to hear from those it attacks. Reporters (and Erica "The Bore" Barnett in particular) decides to write an article with a partiuclar slant. Never mind going out and doing some actual reporting that might prove your thesis -- no matter how feckless to start with -- wrong.
Then, when someone seeks to clarify the many inaccuracies, they're ridiculed as in this instance. Real classy.
Still, you're the best read in town even if 90 percent of what you report is crap. (Note: the best read in town excludes the sleep-inducing In the Hall Column by BB (Boring Barnett).
Never join a religion started on a bet.
A friend of mine once wrote an unfavorable article about Scientology when she was a teenager, and those freaks dug up all sorts of personal information on her then sent some goon to go talk to her about what they found.
I agree ~ don't go. Dont endanger yourself, or bring legitimacy to their cult. Better idea: pretend you went, and publish an interview of how you imagine the meeting would go. Include how they threaten to release damaging, highly personal information, then bankrupt you with IRS audits.
Just go an see what she has to say. Are you afraid or what?
