I was reading about the Scientologist practice of quiet births:
What really dissapoints me though was Hubbard's lack of vision. I mean here you are, inventing a religion out of thin air, pretty certain that people will be stupid enough to follow (it's human nature), so why not throw a few bones to all fellas. Quiet birth is great, but even greater would have been nag-free sports watching. Honey, you know you're not allowed to interrupt me during the football game - page 84, Dianetics, Vol. 2. All that nagging about the lawn is imprinting onto me! Don't you want me to recapture my Thetan?
"Based on Hubbard's writings, Scientologists believe that mothers should keep as silent as possible during birth. This stems from belief that birth is a trauma that may induce imbalance onto the baby, who may also absorb his mother's trauma. Hubbard also wrote that for the first 24 hours after birth, infants should not be touched, cleaned or spoken to, and that mothers should refrain from speaking in the presence of their babies for the first week after birth."It takes a special kind of intelligence to be this counter-intuitive. It may seem like immediately caressing and consoling a child after childbirth, establishing the mother child bond, is the right thing to do, but why rely on millenia of human experience when a guy selling a book says otherwise?

now you are really pushing it Big D.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology cut and paste to read about CoS. I cannot believe how powerful they are. can you believe how the IRS caved in to them (wikipedia has info on IRS litigation involving CoS).
Good luck keeping this blog up now that you have tangled with CoS.
I dont know much about the Thetan's but I thought the Seahawks should have won the Super Bowl. There are many religions that espouse quiet in the softer sex. muslims favor the full carpet-over-the entire body treatment. cant hear too many muffles out of that, can you? christianity simply says that the "woman must follow, the man" but i like the more recent religions on the subject.
i dont know a lot of scientology, other than it must be really hard because i remember when organic chemistry made me become a history major. maybe they'll all jump off the planet when Haley's comet comes around again.
lol
did anyone find it interesting that Cruise/Holmes baby was born on the same day as Brooke Shield's? cosmic.
