hmm...difficult, cos it's simply waste of time to read them, and if u burn them u'll be certainly reminded to famous austrian bookburner. But those books tell at least the story, that they were sold in your library what simply exposes what Co$ is about. So what to do ? They can be used as a prop for a piece of art, u could start a project where different artist make shortstories and uTubestreams about these books, not quite nessecary about the content, maybe more why they were placed in the libr
there's cult experts who might be interested in getting a set. Try asking Steven Hassan from the Freedom of Mind Center or Rick Ross from the Rick Ross Institute. I am trying to get a hold of cult books myself, however I have a rather extensive Scientology book collection myself.
James Randi might be interested in taking them and looking for the alterations if he already has copies. Or try other skeptic groups like CFI West.
Well, since you teach on the subject, you might find it useful to read the rantings of the paranoid sociopath, L Ron Hubbard. If you can bring yourself to trawl through all that nonsense, I imagine that any margin notes you make would insure that any future reader would see Scientology for the bigoted nonsense that it is.
If you find any post-paid business reply cards in your books (quite common), please use each one to send the Cult a large piece of scrap metal.
Humanity thanks you! I would so very much like to make an autodafe out of those books, but by doing that one would only condescend to the scientologists' level.(i.e. they steal 'n destroy books that criticize them from libraries). Just keep them around and use them to expose scientology for the cult it is. And if you keep 'em around for 50+ years I bet there will be historians looking for source materials and you can donate your collection, but don't give them to just anyone.
I know how you feel about destroying the books. I get all uneasy when a book gets torn or I think about other people doing it. You could ask around for students doing studies on cults and how they draw people in. Other critics may find them worth laughing about. :) I keep looking for them in used book stores. I think that they would make a fine edition to my other books on religion\folklore\mythology and other such silliness.
I too value books, for the most part, but I realize I value some books over others. Although I would not recommend this for most books I think you should donate them to the local shooting range to be used as targes.
I know how you feel about books. Hitler burned books, so don't stoop to his level. Maybe you should give/sell the books to Scientology critics who don't have them?
Why was the library selling EnRons books?
And why did they have that many in the first place? That's like eight or ten books. :S
According to the Librarians, the books just showed up on their doorstep, so to speak. There were 16 in the entire set. They decided to sell them because they had no need for them in the library (not sure of their reasoning there). I was happy to get them off the market!

I'd like to get my hands on the books myself. I am using Scientology books (specifically the red/green bound ones) to research the movement for a theology class at CUNY (City University of NY). So if you want, I'll take those books off your hands, use them for a good purpose THEN burn them en-masse for you.
Keep them as a resource for you students, who may want to research more into the subject, and see first-hand how ridiculous Scientology is, as well as how normal people can duped into believing that crap.
Send out a press release, saying at a certain date and place you will be sending cult books through a wood chipper, and if anyone has any other cult books they want to get rid of, bring them over. Of course, put up the video on youtube when you're done :) Find somebody with a wood stove who can use the refuse.
I have never cared for L. Ron Hubbard's writings. Why not try to recycle them; it would be good for the environment. I would be more interested in hearing a few of your thoughts about identifying cults vs. religions. I am currently in a world religion class at college. P.S. Is it true that Hinduism is the oldest religion?
Actually, recycling is NOT good for the environment. The process of recycling paper actually costs more, creates more pollution, and takes longer than just making new paper. Plus, paper is made either from trees that are grown for paper, or from areas where the trees needed to be thinned out. Recycling is propaganda (except aluminum and other metals).
As for Hinduism being the oldest religion, I think there are many more that are older. Of course, the oldest were probably dreamed up in caves
If you have crooked furniture, you can use them to level the legs. Seriously go to a homeless shelter or a hosptial and donate them. Even if you don't respect the words on those books, there are people that need reading material.
Do you have a fireplace or furnace where you can burn them during the winter. Of course, I share your antipathy to bookburning, but you can morally justify it by the energy savings. Whatever heat is generated from burning the pages is that much less foreign oil that is consumed--thus lessening our dependency on foreign oil and depriving ruthless Middle Eastern regimes of money used to support religious dictatorships.
I don't know if you've already disposed of the books but they'd make great "hide-a-document" books. I bought one made out of an old hardcover book. You glue all the pages together using a spray adhesive accept a few in the front of the book, then after it's dried you cut out a section in the middle. Then if you have documents or something you'd like to hide from a potential thief you put it in the book and put it on your book shelf.
Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Leah Remini, Katie Holmes...any of those people might need some nice bedtime reading! Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Or make some money back and sell them on Ebay!
will it blend? Today we are blending science fiction bullshit! Thetan smoke! Dont breath this. or you could go to the local scientology place and say "free bullshit"!
You could read them pick them apart word for word and give a lecture on the dangers of Scientology to your students. I'm sure there's tonnes of material in there to use.
I'm replying to your e-mail here, because you have a friend block. I SO wanted to sing Wonder by Natalie Merchant, and I had it on my favorites on singsnap, but they have since removed the song from their website. I hunted for it on other sites, but could not find it.
They have a couple other songs from 10k maniacs. I'm glad you enjoy my singing, and you're not blowing smoke up my ass. I have subbed you. I love your videos. I wish I could comment on them all though. =0(
Hmmmm....I remember you were telling me about this problem. I'd say send them to people you really can't stand! lol or have them be recycled; that's probably one of the best things you can do. Let me know what you decide.
The infinity symbol is a "sideways" looking 8, not an upright standing 8 that is definitely a FUCKING 8. damn, these Scientologists TRULY didn't get any REAL school did they!!?? Can you say REMEDIAL MATH Cult of Scientologists!?
Wow. I don't even know where to start with how screwed up that is. So I won't. I'm done. You're on the internet. Look it up, if you care to learn anything at all.
You're going to have a 'very' hard time in life, if you keep letting your emotions get the better of you like that.
Um, it's not "sideways." That's what it looks like -- which I 'thought' was pretty common knowledge. Apparently not.
L. Ron definitely impressed me as a snake oil salesman. I 'have' a copy of "Dianetics," but it literally puts me to sleep when I try to read the thing, so I never have.
If you really feel strongly against Scientology, then I would suggest to read it to search for what Hubbard is really saying and use what you learned for your arguement against Scientology. If all else fails, I would suggest to sell them on E-Bay or slip into Kristie Alley's purse with a Jenny Craig pamphlet. Keep up with the good work.
You can turn the books into scrap books, pasting nice pictures and words over the other words.
You can play Dada-ist games with them: Cut up the sentences into individual words and phrases, throw them into the air, and connect them into new sentences with hilariously profound meanings. Use the new text to start a religion of your own.
Every book is just a work in progress. This is your chance to improve the stories.
other than egsamples of foolishness, you could cover them in PVA glue and build a possibly decorative ornament out of them, for your lectures or something, or call it modern art "A Pile of Wrong Thoughts"....
either way youd have to tell us in another vid what you chose to do with them.
they deserved to be trashed - they are not worthy of any the normal respect of other books. but if destoying them bothers u that much, heres a proactive way to make up for it beforehand: chk out 13Heathans channel. He's done 2 series of videos dissecting the HofM and SofS into informative book reviews that intellectually rips them to shreds. Having more of the same from a psych professor's point of view would be incredibly valuable to the activists crusading to expose the truth about the cult.
I agree with options already mentioned: 1. Donate to a member(s) of Anonymous, the protest movement against Scientology abuses. Most major cities have a group of Anons. You can find out on EnturbulatonDOTcom the one closest to you. Post a note in the forum for the one nearest you offering the books. 2.Type of a sheet of webistes like xenuDOTnet, exscientologykidsDOTcom, youfoundthecardDotcom, etc. Print them out and paste in the front of each book then donate to library sale or sell on ebay.
Well, you could use them as steps to get to high places, as bed posts under your bed, or as simple levels. Granted they are a little think for that, but it's an idea.
Save them until next winter and use them as a heat source. Like you, I am philosophically opposed to book burning....But in this case, if you use them as a heat source, you will be forgiven. And I'm a founding member of BA [Books Anonymous]. If anyone can offer you absolution, I can.
I would verry much like to get my hands on either "Dianetics" or "Science of Survival."
Other Anons and I need copies of them to read out directly from the book at points that hubbard says all his extreamly Anti-Homosexual stuff.
Shouting these quotes over a megaphone at the protests are great. But having the actual book there, so passers-by who want more info can actually see the book itself, and see that it's actually is writen in there gives Anonymous more credit and discredits the Co$.
I first was introduced to the idea of reptilians through reading David Icke's "The Children of the Matrix." It's funny that Icke has been to over 40 countries and found this recurring theme people relating experiences of contact with the "lizards." Icke's friend, Credo Muttwa, who is a Zulu Sanusi(shaman), calls them "chitahuri," children of the reptile. This knowledge goes back a long way in the Zulu tradition. Just google "Greenessene," and "AzuritePress." R-complex.
Sell them to a used book store or to anyone critical of Scientology looking to read source. The Church hates reselling of LRH materials, since it doesn't make them any money. Plus, the "8 million Scientologists worldwide" statistic comes from trackable book sales. Heck, I'd love to read them myself, if I had the time or money to waste.
Don't burn 'em. "Where you burn books, you later burn humans!" Heinrich Heine - romantic german poet
Actually I think, that you really should add comments inside the books. Get your students to help you! Glue pages in, and then distribute 'em as informational material! This really could help. People seeing the original source and getting explanations and warnings.
Read them and Highlight all the ridiculous statements... wait... maybe Highlight the ones that are fairly reasonable because that may save money on Highlighters... ;p
Give them to Anonymous!!! We are immune to $cientology brainwashing, and can use them to fight the cult. Tell me the city you live in and I can tell you where to go, or just go to the enturbulation forums.
You should be fine putting them in the bin, the type of people that Sci wants are not bin tramps or bin robbers, they won't even get a stress test. Just think of a thousand homeless people going looking for LRH Tech.. (I don't mean to be disingenuous) hope you get my point
I followed all these conversations for some days on this topic... it's so interesting, strange and scary at the same moment, isn't it? When will you make your decision? IMHO... I wouldn't burn or sell them. Keep them in a "safe place" - no one else will be able to read them, that's already a good deed! ;)
Whether or not this response is to late or not. I've always thought such nonsense scientology (cult - not church) babbles on about deserves to be deep fried or cooked well done in the oven or on the grill.
They are just paper and ink and hold no other importance. Recycle them and use them for a good fire. That is unless you are brainwashed and they got to you already.
Send them to Mr. Fetch jk. I don't belive in throwing books away unless its Mein Kompf.
I would donate them to a local ind. bookstore. I have tons of books now and I give them to my local DI or those that dabble in odd topics. I love your vids btw..you seem so genuine.
First off, I don't BELIEVE anything. Other groups that talk about the aliens are: Essenes, Zulu, Celts/Druids, Cathars. All these groups have been suppressed. Why? Why is it that pseudo-science like psychiatry is promoted in the mainstream. Did you know Freud had some success with treating psychosomatic illness? Anyway, Essenes taught about people picking up "astral-entity attachments." Sounds like body-thetans. People get Essene entity removal and they get better. Google "GreenEssene."
Around 2,000 years ago, the Essenes were destroyed. The Essenes had(have) spiritual technology the individual can use to set himself free. The Essenes also had(have) data on the true pre-ancient history(210,000 years past) of humanity. The Essene data says reptilian/humanoid aliens altered human dna to create a slave race(sound familiar), and that these Draconians are still here. AzuritePress and David Icke and Credo Muttwa(Zulu) say it, too. So did the Celts. I don't BELIEVE anything. I AM.
Haha, indeed I did need that rest. And there's a lot of evil forces in NC. Look at this, from Article VI, Section 8 of our state constitution...
"The following persons shall be disqualified for office:
First, any person who shall deny the being of Almighty God."
I honestly think that should definitely be taken out. I've seen how many atheists we have in my area when Christopher Hitchens came last year for his book tour. I would love for a huge movement to start sometime soon against it.
Burn them, take the remains, water them down into a liquid, then add explosive chemicals to them, then put them in the warehouse for Scientology books.
Go on a camping trip with those books, and start a controlled fire and enjoy the evening somewhere nice, that's what should be done with those books... think of it as one book per camping trip. That'd be alot of camping.
O.K., psych prof. Give me a definition for "psyche." What about readin' them there books. This is the most childish thing. Dianetics and Scientology are your competition, so you just want to destroy. I thought competition was supposed to be good for biz. Prof. says, "...8-8008, I don't know what the hell..." You just admitted you don't know about it, but you act as an authority. Is there a physical test for chemical brain imbalance? Is there? Psychiatry is death.
I have the perfect solution! Cut a big hole through the pages and glue it all shut except for the front cover and use them to store guns! Since you have so many, sell the rest to gun owners! lol jk Hmmm... You know, I'm a muscian and LOVE music, all kinds of music you can think of. Much like you love books, of many kinds as well. If there were CD's out there with music used to influence people into cults, They become coaster or shattered plastic. You can destroy a bad book, find it in you ;) lol
Al Gore quoted another stating it is difficult to get someone to understand a subject when their salary is based on their NOT understanding.
Thank you, I am sure I have read far more than you have and always with a critical evaluation of the data and not just on Scientology.
Normally its not my policy to directly attack a viewpoint but again the "authority" and "book burners" make up the worst of those preaching "vested interest" and so common for them to know nothing of which they speak.
You don't know anything, just what you've read on the internet writtem also by people that are either idiots or similarly have a vested interst.
Take a look at the world around you. See the results of medicine and psychology, google the crap out of both areas.
But again, you DON'T want to know. You have your degree and have to feel its worth something and those that value it MUST be right, so you shut yourself off from seeing anything because you can't afford it.
Maybe you should should READ them or AT LEAST one then you would KNOW what your talking about regarding Scientology.
I would recommend Dianetics 55 or Evolution of a Science and if your think your up to it, Dianetics, but that is probably too much.
Those books do actually contain a lot of useful information but it is obvious you don't have an interest in knowing anything, about Scientology or Dianetics.
I speak harshly, but Authority, vested interest and the "I know best" annoy me.
Hmm. I was gonna say use them as toilet paper but looks like someone beat me to that. You also said you don't like tearing books up, so.. hhmm. I see your problem here. hhmm. It's not very creative but mail them to the scientology centers with a note saying, sorry, I have no need for these anymore. I found a real god to worship in jesus christ. lol you know, just for kicks.
Dude, if it's against everything you stand for to burn books, this would be a great opportunity for you to learn something about yourself. LIGHT 'EM UP! atleast they're scientology books and not classical literature or stuff religions label pornographic. This way, if you realize you've done injustice, then it's not as bad as it could have been, right? lol. if you don't want people to read them, then you have to destroy them. =( i don't burn books either but i sure did wish a few disappeared
Well i would recycle them, at least Scientology will contribute to the world, and the will have another reason to write a book. And that's how sircle will end.
you can: -pretend they're crows and flap the covers and go "KAW KAW KAW!" -transcribe them into scratch and sniff, pop up books. -build a fort with them -stand on them to reach things that are really high -play frisbee with them -do you have enough coasters? -carry one, to fend off muggers and sales men, they look heavy and hard -turn them into a raft -use them to cast evil spells on your enemies -level a crooked and wobbely table with them. (the makings of a fun vid)
I had this same question & I just don't know what to do especially with these cult of $ci books. Plus I've come across a bunch of audio and a few videos! Recycling of some kind maybe, but what type? Give to cult research, but who?
You could use them for some Scientology parody videos or something.
Perhaps if you have a dog, you could make a video about how it's been acting strange lately.. like it seems to not like you very much anymore.. and appears to be even more stupid than before - and then you could discover that pile of books where the dog usually sleeps.. or something.
Yeah, I've no idea what you should do with all those books. I agree that destroying books is heartbreaking though.
This was a direct quote from Hubbard regarding what should be done with people who he didn't like: homosexuals, critical thinkers, mentally incapacitated, child molester, murderers, and a few others. Google the phrase to find the source of the quote.
I'd say 'recycle' them but that isn't helping all that much now is it?.. Burning them is the easy solution and probably the best but it isn't creative in getting rid of them. Maybe you could turn them into an art project or donate them to an art class and see what they can come up with, or give a lecture on this to you students? Last but not least, ask your self: Will it blend? LOL
I would probably sell them and give the proceeds to an anti-Scientology organization or group. How you will accomplish that, I cannot tell you. It's 4:30 AM here, and I'm tired.
As for your question, I agree about the burning (although that is my first knee-jerk response).
At some point in the future, depending on what happens with that organization, those books might serve as historical documents/artifacts. So how about hanging onto them, putting them in storage somewhere?
Yes, a great quote to use in class would be the the one where mad Ron states that Scientology is not a religion; that's a great one. Check out 13heathens youtube channel as well, where he dtakes apart L Ron's nonesense very stylishly.
Ignore royalblooming Sheldonwh, he's just desperate to to to get as many new members into his cult as he can. They're having a bit of a hard time ATM you see.
My advice would be to start a new class educating people on the dangers of the cult, and use the books as reference work. There are so many mistakes, assumptions, and outright madness in the books, it would make for a very entertaining class. And yes I've read most of them RB, despite the vomiting.
Make origami. You know what they say, if you make 1000 cranes, you will get good luck. Either that, or makes some good decoration, or better yet, recycle the paper. There's stuff online and at the library that teaches you how to make your own paper. That would be the most environment friendly thing to do.
I vote either art project which highlights the most rediculous things in the books (apologies for having to go through them) or read the damn things to death and figure out once and for all what the hell draws people in...
either way... I bet scientologists are squirming to death that an SP has these.(which you must be, what are your crimes?)
haha you should look at my video and see what I did to the books. I bought 15 for $2 at my university library. They were getting rid of them too! Please recycle sir, hopefully something great will be made of the crap.
All sorts of people are looking to unload their Scientology books - amazon, craig's list, nobody is buying - that's probably a good thing. Is there a local chapter of "Cult Spot" near you? Maybe they could use a fresh supply. I'd be surprised though - as I just made them up. Good luck. E-
Use these books against Scientology. Use excerpt from Dianetics and others, like 13heathens do and inform the public of the bullshit from the Scilon books.
We all could benefit from knowledge, and knowing your enemy is the best weapon in fighting against them.
Using the cult's own books against them is like using their own tools to make a machine of their own demise.
What a dilemma! Good luck, I have no answer. I look on books the same way. I just got a pile of Reader's Digest condensed books from my parents that introduced me to many of the classics way back when I was a kid. I think I'll donate them to the Salvation Army. That won't do any harm. However Scientology books, whew, I don't know...
So why did you buy them in the first place? that is your real question, you want us to make a decision for you?, you should do that on your own don't you think?
What a waste of ink & paper!! Not to mention the waste of effort it took to write that nonsense! I hate the idea of book-burning but in Hubbard's case I'm almost willing to make an exception. Hmmm, OK, go ahead and torch the trash, that is what you'd do with garbage. Burn the witch, opps I mean burn the books!!!
It's funny that you talk about it being a "Subsitute for Psychology" when infact, alot of the stuff they start you off on in the cult is psychological in nature. They give you a personality test and then judge your "treatment" on the personality test. Let them exsist within your house as a joke to bring out at dinner parties.
Sell them on eBay! I would much rather see the money go to you, than the Corporation of $cientology.

Wrap them up securely, take them out to a mystery location and bury them.
Then post on the net that you have a free LRH library buried in a secret location that will
be easily located by an OT, who can keep them.
This way you haven`t destroyed the books. Scientology has by not producing any OTs.

Do you have a fireplace or furnace where you can burn them during the winter. Of course, I share your antipathy to bookburning, but you can morally justify it by the energy savings. Whatever heat is generated from burning the pages is that much less foreign oil that is consumed--thus lessening our dependency on foreign oil and depriving ruthless Middle Eastern regimes of money used to support religious dictatorships.

I don't know if you've already disposed of the books but they'd make great "hide-a-document" books. I bought one made out of an old hardcover book. You glue all the pages together using a spray adhesive accept a few in the front of the book, then after it's dried you cut out a section in the middle. Then if you have documents or something you'd like to hide from a potential thief you put it in the book and put it on your book shelf.

Um, it's not "sideways." That's what it looks like -- which I 'thought' was pretty common knowledge. Apparently not.
L. Ron definitely impressed me as a snake oil salesman. I 'have' a copy of "Dianetics," but it literally puts me to sleep when I try to read the thing, so I never have.

If you really feel strongly against Scientology, then I would suggest to read it to search for what Hubbard is really saying and use what you learned for your arguement against Scientology.

You can play Dada-ist games with them: Cut up the sentences into individual words and phrases, throw them into the air, and connect them into new sentences with hilariously profound meanings. Use the new text to start a religion of your own.
Every book is just a work in progress. This is your chance to improve the stories.

I first was introduced to the idea of reptilians through reading David Icke's "The Children of the Matrix." It's funny that Icke has been to over 40 countries and found this recurring theme people relating experiences of contact with the "lizards." Icke's friend, Credo Muttwa, who is a Zulu Sanusi(shaman), calls them "chitahuri," children of the reptile. This knowledge goes back a long way in the Zulu tradition. Just google "Greenessene," and "AzuritePress." R-complex.

Sell them to a used book store or to anyone critical of Scientology looking to read source. The Church hates reselling of LRH materials, since it doesn't make them any money. Plus, the "8 million Scientologists worldwide" statistic comes from trackable book sales. Heck, I'd love to read them myself, if I had the time or money to waste.

First off, I don't BELIEVE anything. Other groups that talk about the aliens are: Essenes, Zulu, Celts/Druids, Cathars. All these groups have been suppressed. Why? Why is it that pseudo-science like psychiatry is promoted in the mainstream. Did you know Freud had some success with treating psychosomatic illness? Anyway, Essenes taught about people picking up "astral-entity attachments." Sounds like body-thetans. People get Essene entity removal and they get better. Google "GreenEssene."
worryphree 3 years ago
Around 2,000 years ago, the Essenes were destroyed. The Essenes had(have) spiritual technology the individual can use to set himself free. The Essenes also had(have) data on the true pre-ancient history(210,000 years past) of humanity. The Essene data says reptilian/humanoid aliens altered human dna to create a slave race(sound familiar), and that these Draconians are still here. AzuritePress and David Icke and Credo Muttwa(Zulu) say it, too. So did the Celts. I don't BELIEVE anything. I AM.

Use these books against Scientology. Use excerpt from Dianetics and others, like 13heathens do and inform the public of the bullshit from the Scilon books.

What a waste of ink & paper!! Not to mention the waste of effort it took to write that nonsense! I hate the idea of book-burning but in Hubbard's case I'm almost willing to make an exception. Hmmm, OK, go ahead and torch the trash, that is what you'd do with garbage. Burn the witch, opps I mean burn the books!!!

Use them to build a shrine to L Ron Hubbard.
Dianetics turned into Scientology when the IRS
gave him his tax bill.
Bad ideas are still ideas, and it's a tough question to answer
Should we burn Mein Kampf, like the Nazis did to the books they didn't like, or does doing it turn us into them??
Good video question.

It's funny that you talk about it being a "Subsitute for Psychology" when infact, alot of the stuff they start you off on in the cult is psychological in nature. They give you a personality test and then judge your "treatment" on the personality test. Let them exsist within your house as a joke to bring out at dinner parties.
