Scientology "Front Groups"

I kniow what you're saying. How could there possibly be a tie in to internet poker. Actually, there is.

Scientology is the most destructive cult on the planet. Yes, there may be lots of them culty (yep, a word) things, but you only need to spend about an hour o the internet reading the crtical reviews to understand that they don't care about your personal well being or your spiritual freedom, they just want your money.

Let's just pretend for a minute and make up a name and a scenario. Let's say your name is Juliette Lewis. You have a blooming film career, you made way more money than you deserve considering your acting talent, and you get hopelessly addicted on drugs. But, wait! It's not hopeless! There is Narconon to save the day. Because as a Scientology front group they get a celebrity off the drugs, back into a money making career and use her to feed the grist for the mill. She's no Tom Cruise, but hey....Cape of Fear days Juliette....I'd do her.

And there were so many based in real science which Scientology hates programs that could have done the same thing. She could be comfortably living in a Swiss chateua drinking monkey's blood and praising her new demonic masters....(oh crap, where did that come from....dog, stop distracting me, I'm trying to blog.)

Internet Poer does the same bullshit.


Dig back a bunch of months into this blog. I used to spend a significant amount of time in a site called NLOP - The National League of Poker. Yeah...let's rope in some football fans! Sounds like a fun time!.

After the Free Trial Period (explained ages ago) where I scored a lot of initial success I hit the wall where they wanted me to click on advertisements to be continually successful (chipwise) and whenever I would manage to score a seat in the big title game the hands just became statsically unreasonable.

Haplorifically (yes, a word) I gave up on this sorry ass site ages ago.

But, my cookies and/or computer registry didn't. So when I got the friendly email from "PurePlay" I wanted to add them to my busted list. Same graphics as NLOP. NLOP is obviously a "front group". Near the end of the registration process I find that not only do I get to be cheated at poker I have to pay an annual membership fee. Ummmm.....I don't think so.

So I bailed without registering.

And to this day they continue to send me emails on the free points I've earned to log into their fradulent games.

Ain't gonna happen Hubbard lovers.
