Update: "Scientology is Gay"


A little amusing bit occurred this weekend in Hollywood when director John Roecker was caught by devout Scientologist Jenna Elfman (Darma and Greg) and her husband wearing the above that claims "Scientology is Gay. Very Gay" by other followers Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

Elfman of course doesn't take anyone making fun of her religion lightly and let this be known and in an effort to get him to go away might have asked him "Have you raped a baby?". Now what that has to do with wearing a shirt is beyond me.

Now that may seem bizarre but its gets wierder. Apparently when Roecker tried to discuss the Scientologist "god" Xenu, the Elfman's 20-something male friend was instructed to cover his years. The reason for that is to get that knowledge your supposed to pay to get to OT-8 level in Scientology teachings which doesn't not come cheap. Basically you have to be a millionaire to afford it.

The final bit of odd on this story? "Sources at the Church of Scientology's Celebrity Centre say Roecker is no stranger to them. Several non-celeb parishioners have also complained about Roecker's t-shirts." Apparently Scientologists like to run to mommy anytime they see a shirt they don't like and mommy apparently keeps a list.

Update: Turns out there is a reason that Jenna Elfman asked "Have you raped a baby?" Apparently "It’s one of the questions Scientologists are asked by Scientology leaders when they’ve misbehaved,” a source familiar with the religions.
