I was just about to post that video. I could only get through two minutes of it and I wanted to shoot myself in the face.

I think that's what it's going for - convert or die.

It gets "better" (READ: much, MUCH worse) after that. At one point, he actually says, "I want all these spectators (i.e. non-Scientologists) to either get on the playing field (i.e. to become Scientologists) or get out of the arena altogether (i.e. die)."

"Being a scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else. As you drive past, you know you have to do something about it. Because, you know you're the only one that can help."

"That's, that's what drives me is, that I know that we have an opportunity, and uh... to really, to help, for the first time, to effectively change peoples' lives, and um, ... I am dedicated to that, I am gonna, I'm, absoultely, uncompromisingly, [scary-intense-movie-face-stare] dedicated to doing that."

..."SP" is Scientology code for a "Suppressive Person." "The video's most chilling moment follows Cruise's question, "Have you ever met an SP?" when that blood-curdling, hollow laugh kicks in. "

"...Re-reading KSW and looking at what needs to be done, and saying "Ok. Am I gonna do it, or am I not gonna do it? Period. And am I gonna look at that guy, or am I too afraid, because I have my own out ethics [?], to put in someone else's ethics?" And that's all it comes down to. Because I won't hesitate to put ethics in someone else, because I put it ruthlessly in on myself. And I think that, uh, ... I respect that, in, in others. And, uh, I'm there to help. You know, we're here to help. And my opinion is, is that, look: You're, you're on board, or you're not on board. ok? But just, if you're on board, then you're on board just like the rest of us."

"We ARE the authorities on getting people off drugs, we ARE the authorities on the mind, we are the authorities on improving conditions... CrimAnon, we can rehabilitate criminals, Way To Happiness, we can bring peace, uhhhh, and unite cultures [trust-me-hand-gestures], that, once you know these tools, and you know they work, it's, it's not good enough, that I'm just doing it, ok?"

"Traveling the world, and meeting the people that I've met, you know, talking with these leaders, in dif- Various fields... [full-5-second-pause], they want help. And they are depending on people, who ... know. And who CAN be effective. And Do it. And that's us. That is our responsibility to do that."

"It is the time now. Now is the time, ok? It is, being a scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it. You BETTER know it. And if you don't, you know, go, and Learn it! [snide laugh] You know? But don't, pretend you know it, and for, we're whatever, we're here to Help."

1. where's his wedding ring?

3. the music in the background, coupled with tc's weird breathy talk is making me want to be a scientologist.

Eh, he's clearly a raving lunatic, but I didn't read this the same way you did. I think his intended distinction was between people who are just dabbling in Scientology (non-practicing, if you will), and those who are down in the trenches, saving accident victims with MIND BULLETS.

srsly jon. 3rd party hosting. It's fast, and it works.

4. oh my god, the creepy laugh.
