Scientology’s targeting of children is only getting more blatant as the church struggles

 
This photo was posted very publicly on Facebook by the Scientology ‘Ideal Org’ in Sacramento, with the following caption:

“One of our incredible book sellers hitting the streets to get Dianetics into everyone’s hands!”

Yes, this is not just a child of indeterminate age who has been sucked into Scientology (likely by her parents), but who is actually on staff, trying to sell Dianetics to the public.

Do you think her parents are aware that she’s selling a book that contains this passage?

The seven-year-old girl who shudders because a man kisses her is not computing; she is reacting to an engram since at seven she should see nothing wrong in a kiss, not even a passionate one. There must have been an earlier experience, possibly prenatal, which made men or kissing very bad.

 
And as if that weren’t enough, Scientology kids in Los Angeles have a new way to get involved at an early age: they call it Genius Club!

Hey, kids, your Sea Org parents have already donated what might have been your college fund, but come on down to learn about space age concepts in the courtyard at Big Blue. Learn as much as you can now, kiddos, before you sign that billion-year contract and sign away any schooling for the future!

 

 
Here’s the club’s actual caption: “Genius Club. (ages 5 – 12) ASHO Courtyard on L. Ron Hubbard Way. Saturdays, 2pm – 5pm, June 29th, July 6th, July 13th & July 20th
Headed-up by Scout Master & Kid Specialist, Chris Savage! This week:
* Learn how to grow your own plants!
* Educational art projects!
Also included: Healthy snacks. Bouncy castle & games. Arts & Crafts. Baby area for younger siblings.”

Hurry on down and dump your offspring, which are really ancient thetans in small packages and know about all this science stuff from past lives anyway.

Bonus items from our tipsters

It’s sad enough that B.B. King’s grandson, Christopher King, has become so involved in Scientology in recent years. But now he’s running for office? Do the people in Dade City know that a Scientologist is trying to get onto the ballot?

 

 
Meanwhile, in Toronto…
