Generic blonde actress Jenna Elfman is probably better known for her associations with Scientology than for, say, her role on Dharma & Greg. She’s known to go overboard about her love for all things Xenu like the time she freaked out at a guy wearing a tee-shirt suggesting Tom Cruise is gay.
Well she wants you to know that if you doubt the divine authority of a science-fiction writer with delusions of grandeur who started his own religion as a business opportunity, you can go to Scientology hell:
“If someone starts talking to me negatively about something they’ve never actually studied that actual text of, I don’t really admire them very much because it shows they don’t have much integrity, so I just kind of ignore them,” Elfman told AAP in Sydney.
That’s quite a high standard. It’s just like how she was an expert on human health when she proclaimed “AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease.” That, by the way, was to explain why she refused to sign an autograph as part of a fundraising drive for pediatric AIDS patient care.
Take THAT, sick kids! You just didn’t know enough about thetans to be worth the ink!

I had to laugh at this, because Scientology isn’t exactly free and open with their texts. She’s basically saying that a person needs to be a Scientologist before she’ll listen to them. That there’s a rock-solid belief system.
But… but… I can’t read their texts! Every time I try to get ahold of them, they want to charge me $100,000, and every time someone puts it up on the internet, they get sued!
I suppose that works out just well if they want to avoid all possible avenues of criticism, but for earnest and skeptical inquirers, it doesn’t really do much, does it?
Jenna, do I get to say how bat-shit crazy Scientology is? I’ve done a lot of reading on it. Do you need proof? Well these are the names of my past fantasy sports teams:
The Engrams
Galactic Confederacy
Operation Snow White
Marcab Confederacy
Teegeeack Volcanos
5th Invader Force
Pretty nice, eh Jenna?
Now explain to me about Lisa McPherson 1959 – 1995
All religion starts somewhere.
Why is Islam protected in the media and Scientology crucified?
Why are Catholic and Scientology jokes allowed while Muslim jokes are faux pas?
The hypocrisy of priestal sexcapades and bizarre ramblings of Xenu?
Surely a religion of peace that murders thousands in pursuit of 78 doe eyed virgins pales in comparison.
Just sayin’.
This heiffer is still relevant because…?
Intergalactic DC-10 anyone?
Just another Batshit-Crazy, third-grade actress vouching for the Co$. Who knew!
The Church got an army of those. Even if they bring a cash-flow for the Co$, they are the best examples about what is so wrong in that cult.
Fortunate Son, be that as it may, Islam has yet to make a film like “Battlefield Earth.”
Well, I gotta give it to her. If she wasnt part of the crazies would anyone give her any notice of
anything right now? Scientology is all sorts of evil and for the most idiotic of human beings, but it has kept a lot of celebs in the news. Unfortunately.
You’re right Strawberry Girl, and the only consolation is that Travolta and El Ron personally put up the $ for it. I wonder at what point Travolta realized it had all gone awry.
She, and a lot of her friends, and co-workers think, no believe from the bottom of their hearts, with every fiber of their beings that aliens, led by Xenu were dropped into volcanoes from airplanes, and cause problems for people. If they could they’d kill you for doubting it.
And yet someone like Jenna or Alec Baldwin and their type think Obama is the best choice for president, and no one has a problem with that? Really? Shouldn’t you be doing exactly the opposite of these people?
Fortunate – I usually agree with you, but you’re missing the point about $cientology. There is one area that even Islam has a leg up on the Xenu freaks, and in most people’s opinions invalidates their religious status – they have to pay for the privilege of learning the tenants of the faith.
I could walk in to any church, synagogue, or even mosque, and they will freely explain to me what they are all about. Seriously, imagine having to go to church for 10 years (PAYING the whole time, at an ever increasing rate) before they even told you who Jesus was.
Why the secrecy? If they were being honest, they’d admit that it’s because if they came right out and told you what they were about 99.9% of people would laugh so hard they crapped themselves and walk away. So they make people blow their entire incomes, mortgage their lives, leave their families and friends behind, so that they’ll be so emotionally invested in the cult that when they finally do find out what a crock of shit it is, they are in too deep to bail on the church.
It’s a vile extortion scam masquerading as a religion, and it needs to stop.
@ Pasta – I think that’s the most convincing anti-Obama argument I’ve ever seen.
By the way. I was gonna say how hot she was. But no one that ignorant is hot. Scientology and it’s believers piss me off. I’m never gonna sleep with Jenna Elfman. You hear me Jenna! Stop calling! I have standards! Kinda. Okay not really, but NO SCIENTOLOGISTS!
Please. Dear God tell me Kate Beckinsale is normal.
So, where is $cientology hell anyway? Is it on Alpha Centari XXI?
If anybody does enough research, nay, ANY research whatsoever, they will hear the words from Ron L Hubbard’s mouth about the orgin of scientology. South Park’s version was totally, word for word what he said. It’s hilarious but also very, very sad.
Fortunate Son,
What Scott F. said is true. This cult is not a religion because they charge for their services, they don’t let you skate if you just want to sit in and listen to the words. Also, the members are not allowed to speak about it. What self respecting religion would say “Shhhhhhh, don’t tell anyone about us, it’s a secret.”
According to clambake.org, it starts with paying for the privilege of membership:
“There exist various categories of memberships within Scientology. Each category defines itself through the amount of money which was paid to the “International Association of Scientologists” (IAS), or the number of people who were signed up for the IAS.
These are the different categories:
a) 6 month begiining membership – free
b) Annual membership – 300 US $
c) Lifetime membership – 2,000 US $
d) Sponsor – 5,000 US $
e) Crusader (New!) – 10,000 US $
f) Honor Roll – 20,000 US $ or 20 new members for the IAS recruited
g) Patron – 40,000 US $
h) Patron with Honors – 100,000 US $
i) Patron Meritorious – 250,000 US $
j) Gold Patron Meritorious – 1,000,000 US $
k) Senior Honor Roll – 100 new members for the IAS recruited or “contributed to IAS expansion in some stellar fashion”. ”
Then there is the cost of being allowed to learn about the religion that you have already paid to join.
“The current (conservative) total cost for the whole bridge to OT9 readiness is estimated at $365,000 – $380,000. “
Well, it’s not like she’s actually working as an actor right now. If it wasn’t for Scientology, we wouldn’t hear anything from Elfman at all.
1. I dislike all religions (and quasi-religions like Scientology) pretty much equally, but some are special. Scientology is one of the some.
2. Even people capable of saying and believing the stupidest things, such as Jenna’s AIDS comment (and of course her entire belief system) may be right about other things, even if accidentally (I am referring to Obama)
3. Geez they are idiots.
jenna admits she’s not a big reader. Are we surprised ?
I hope she puts her money where her mouth is and has become a “gold patron” – that will be $1,000,000.00 please.
Her example of what SOC has done for her is rather lame – she was late for a tv shooting and didn’t get in trouble because they hadn’t gotten to her scene yet. ha ha (not sure what SOC had to do with that)
Poor Jenna shows her true colors with her “AIDS is a state of mind” comment. Wonder where she got that impression. ha ha
I thought it was just another way of hiding you’re money for tax purposes? Could be wrong….
Pastafarian – I never heard Jenna endorse Obama.
“And yet someone like Jenna or Alec Baldwin and their type think Obama is the best choice for president, and no one has a problem with that? Really? Shouldn’t you be doing exactly the opposite of these people?”
That statement is a massive leap of faith and unlimately a flat out lie. Is this really how you base your political agenda? It’s amazing that you come to a website like this one to call out other peoples BS and you end up multplying it with your own. Oh sweet irony. I’m not from the US and dont really care about your election but I just cant stand sheer stupidity either. This chilling Scientology video below is now the level of intelligence I associate yourself and fellow ‘tard Austin.

Suck it fools
Pastafarian, that is moar win. You rawk!
She was a Clinton supporter but since she’s out are you saying she’s gonna vote for McCain? And telling me to suck it hurts my feelings.
Oy, poor girl. Good post and comments.
My local used bookstore has Scientology books in the religion section for $1.00 a piece. Just for laughs I got the book “A Histoy Of Man’…the introduction begins as: “This is a cold-blooded and factual account of your last 76 trillion years” (didn’t know that I was so old!). Down the page: “This is factual knowledge. With it the blind can see, the lame walk, the ill recover….” To the Co$, AIDS/HIV (like every other malady) really is a state of mind that can be cured if you pay your way to OT-100. Jason Beghe pretty much cleared up the truth about that ridiculous claim.
Are these things true? She’s such an a–hole!
She was on Australian radio all of this week during the drivetime shows and all the while, I kept thinking to myself “Who is she?” and “WTF is ‘Dharma and Greg’?”
Is it the ripoff version of “Will and Grace” coz Channel Ten has been promoting that badboy for the past month, now.
“AIDS IS A STATE OF MIND”?! Oh my Lord.
Haven’t seen her on New Zealand tv for years. What else has she done lately?
And according to this dumb disillusion blonde who should feel every ounce of physical pain that people with AIDS do, if you make fun of their cult, it must obviously mean you rape babies http://dlisted.blogspot.com/2006/06/jenna-elfman-is-crazy.html
Jenna is a deceiver ok. She is a part of people exploiting others through fake astrology services. This is the same face with dark hair. Have a look at aboutastro.com. Either her face is simply used, either she is consciously in their business.
I’m not sure she can be held responsible for online scam artists using her picture without her permission.
Considering the emotional/religious/political baggage lugged around by the term “Crusader”, the COS might want to change that to “Really Sharp Person” or “Double-Nut Muffin” or something. Just a thought.
