The Scientologists could have saved her
It took longer than expected but a Scientologist has finally weighed in on the death of Anna Nicole Smith. In a recent interview, noted cult “church” member John Travolta–who appeared with Anna Nicole in the movie Be Cool–expressed disappointment that the former model never turned to the wacky religion to help in her struggle to get clean:
“It’s so sad. We could have helped her with Narconon but didn’t get a chance to. I wish we had.” (Source)
Narconon–like most things attached to Scientology–is very controversial. Most health professionals familiar with the program have questioned its effectiveness–despite the fact supporters swear by it. According to Wikipedia, a typical Narconon treatment session includes the following:
The first player tosses a marker (typically a stone, coin or bean bag) into the first square. The marker must land completely within the designated square and without touching a line or bouncing out. If the marker lands in the wrong square, the player forfeits a turn. If the marker is successful, the player hops through the court beginning on square one. Side by side squares are straddled, with the left foot landing in the left square, and the right foot landing in the right square.
WTF? This treatment sounds suspiciously like hopscotch. I know Scientologists are pretty crazy, but this is just ridiculous … wait a minute my mistake, I had the wrong page open, that actually is hopscotch. Here’s a real description of a Narconon “training routine” known as TR 8:
It involves the individual commanding an ashtray to “stand up” and “sit down”, and thanking it for doing so, as loudly as they can. Former Scientologists say that the purpose of the drill is for the individual to “beam” their “intention” into the ashtray to make it move.
Ummm … I like the hopscotch treatment better.
She was so mental fried she would have bought it with no problem. Most likely she would would have been claiming to see the aliens riding the pink elephants and Zenu or what ever the bad guys name is.
She had to want to have been saved.
The divets in her tits are worse than the fairway after I’ve used my nine iron!
