Wired has a good article on how the war of words on alt.scientology.religion has split over into dawn raids and hardware seizures:
There was a hilarious parody of Scientology on tonight's episode of "Millenium." A Cult named "Selfosophy," created by a really bad writer named Onan Goopta, with a propensity to sue everyone, was featured. It had a large celebrity membership, and helped people overcome negative thoughts with a device called an "Onan-o-Graph." LOL! -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.

Onan is commonly (albeit incorrectly) credited with the invention of masturbation. (See Genesis 38:6-10 in the Bible) I wonder what sort of thoughts the Onan-o-graph induces?

Don't mean to spoil the fun, but that article's over two years old. Though I hear Helena K is still sending nastygrams. At the anonymity conf over the weekend, I talked to a lawyer who knew and met her. He called her "mousy," among other things. -Declan On Thu, 20 Nov 1997, Tim Griffiths wrote:

Speaking of Scientologists, last week's episode of Millenium, almost a self-parody, had a wonderful sendup of "Selfologists" and its founder "Onan Gupta". /pbp -- No one has the right to destroy another person's belief by demanding empirical evidence. -- Ann Landers, columnist and a director of Handgun Control Inc

Isn't "Handgun Contol, Inc." the place where they align your gun-sights for free?
Yes, but you won't like the way they're aligned when they're done.... Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, stewarts@ix.netcom.com Regular Key PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
