A bizarre video has gone viral showing a group of over 20 individuals raiding the Scientology headquarters in Los Angeles. This "Scientology speedrun" is part of a growing social media trend where participants attempt to map out the organization's inner workings by seeing how far they can get inside their properties.

Well, where is Xenu?

Sounds like the chaos was short lived

We’ve come a long way from the dwarf/gnomie only wow city raids
Pulger
Get your pseudotheology right, people! Xenu, the CoS's Satan, was "an extraterrestrial ruler of a galactic confederacy who, tens of millions of years ago, transported billions of beings to Earth (then called Teegeeack), placed them around volcanoes, and killed them with hydrogen bombs" and is locked away in an electronic mountain trap. Why would he be hanging around an org in LA?

…Muscle Beach?

Well, that certainly wasn't on my Bingo card.

Big Trouble with Little Xenu
chevymonster
I was born to Scientologist parents in 1966. They divorced when I was 5 because my father cheated on my mom. I got away from it when I was 15. My godfather, David Aldritch, was a founding member of the first American Scientology location, ASHO [American Saint Hill Org] in Los Angeles. He molested me from the age of 12 to 14. I had zero knowledge of anything to do with sex education, thanks to Scientology. When I finally understood he was doing a bad thing, my parents refused to believe me. 1/2

I was sent to my bio dad, and he sent me back 10 months later - I attempted suicide. I was forced to retract my accusations and live with David again. My bio dad was L Ron Hubbard's personal secretary for a year before I was born. Well wishes from the founder to my parents - /gallery/scientology-founder-l-ron-hubbard-congratulated-parents-birth-lucky-me-WzOtOmU

Is "dwarfs" the politically correct term again or is the source just casually bigoted?
AverizzSumidad
I think the situation of political correctness at the moment is that it's bad to use words like "dwarf", but even worse if you point it out when someone does.
WalkingNature
And so help you if you point it out when someone points it out when someone does. Oh... oh no...
KitteyWolf
the awkward thing is a lot of people have differing opinions on what they wanna be called

Should have demanded to see Shelly Miscavige.
Tankmoose
This went over my head, someone related to scientology?
TheShoggothOfMosquitoCreek
David Miscavige's wife, last seen in 2007. Supposedly fine, hiding in some Scientology house in the hills, but with zero evidence of that.
Tankmoose
Goddamn. Thanks friend!

Multiple decades of monstrosity and nonsense and all it took to bring Scientology to its knees was a tiktok trend. Maybe the kids are gonna be okay
Animorphs
Hope they do Christianity next!
thotterpop
If the cult still exists, then these trends haven't gone far enough
TacticalSpoon
The kids have been after scientology since at least 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Chanology

“to its knees”? What the fuck is up with saying shit like this? They’re still operating, and they’re still infiltrating businesses and positions of power, they’re still running their abusive cult. Why does this generation insist on using language like they won some sort of battle or made any difference? Is it copium?? What the fuck, these cults gangstalk and have made people disappear and you think a TikTok trend has done anything to them? It could even be a fucking marketing thing for them.

Its a funny comment, on a funny app, about a funny thing. Chill
dynoman
Their power and influence is nowhere near as great as it once was. They are slowly dying as they are not bringing in much money anymore and recruitment is way down.
IceWeaselX
It's not really "this generation" and more of an issue with hyperbole in reporting. Sensationalist "news" has been a thing since long before any of us were born.
CurbYourClassWar
Yeah, I guess it’s so much more prevalent in everything now. It’s disturbing.
