Germany has banned the makers of Tom Cruise’s new movie from filming at military sites in the country because the actor is a Scientologist. BBC

Scientology, as I’ve previously written on here before, is scary stuff. Good for Germany. It’s about time more countries started taking similar steps against this cult.

Bob posted this on someones facebook today and thought it was worth a post here.

More pirates and global warming information can be found at the following Wikipedia entry.

Just seen the BBC’s report on scientology.
John Sweeney reports from the UK and the US about this growing “organisation” and to be frank, the program is a little scary.

You can watch the video online for the next week at the BBC’s website. There’s also some interesting footage from BBC news and Panoramas editor.

National Geographic have posted a video of a Philippene carpenter who crucifies himself as a form of payment to god. The videos not too graphic and details the reasons for his yearly sacrifice.

Years ago, as Rolando Ocampo’s wife and baby daughter hovered near death on the delivery table, the Philippine carpenter began to pray.

“I told the Lord that if my wife would have a safe delivery, I would have myself crucified on Good Friday,” Ocampo says.

Its quite interesting the lengths that some people go through for their religion.
