It’s so depressing when it emerges that people you admire are Scientologists.
It’s like when I found out that Elmo was a sex pest, or that Milli Vanilli weren’t really singing.
Orange is the New Black star Laura Prepon, 35, has given a jargon-filled interview to Celebrity magazine, an official Scientology publication.
This is because she is a longtime Scientology devotee and credits the “religion” with her current Zen-like state.
“So when I first got into Scientology, I did Personal Values and Integrity and then Overcoming Ups and Downs in Life…
“Pretty soon after that I got onto the Purification Rundown, and I started moving up the Bridge,” she told Celebrity, via Defamer.
In case you don’t know what the Bridge is, allow Scientology.org to enlighten you:
“Man, in his religious tradition, has long imagined a bridge across the chasm between where one is now and a higher plateau of existence. Unfortunately, many of those attempting to cross the chasm fell into the abyss.”
Not anymore though, thanks to science-fiction writer and noted pathological liar L. Ron Hubbard!
“Employing this metaphor, the Classification, Gradation and Awareness Chart represents, in fact, the bridge which spans the chasm and brings one to the higher plateau. This is the vision Man has cherished for at least ten thousand years, and it is now attainable by following the steps as laid out on the chart.”

I'm seriously disappointed that my earlier comment didn't make it through moderation. How is it okay to bash her personal beliefs that are not hurting you? So what if you think they're dumb, it doesn't give you the right to call her "completely insane" on a public forum.
Play the ball, not the player
Her personal beliefs involve one of the most powerful and crazy cults on the planet. They are dangerous and they destroy people. Anyone who believes this utter nonsense from a sci-fi writer is insane.
If it's a cult, shouldn't we be feeling sorry for her that she's been brainwashed rather than deciding she's now lost worth as a person because of it? I just don't get the hatred.
Can you please put names on the celeb photos at the bottom? I have no idea who most of them are 😳
