WATCH: Neil Gaiman’s Statuesque

Dissapointingly, this has nothing to do with that Sleeper song! No, it’s a short film written and directed by Neil Gaiman for the Sky1 drama series 10 minute Tales, starring Bill Nighy and Amanda Palmer.

    Palmer and Gaiman fund the Scientology cult.

    Cornerstone Newsletter 2009

    Neil Gaiman's 2009 contributions to the CULT of Scientology are listed in Cornerstone Newsletter (circa November 2009)

    $142 million plus given to Super Power Scam – Ex Scientologist Message Board

    CORNERSTONE CLUB MEMBERS [1315] [$35,000.00]

    You'll find:

    Mary & Neil Gaiman

    And as the ex Scientologists state: "Also, this list does not include donations made by people who have since left the Church and been declared SP’s or “ethics bait”. The Church deletes those people’s names from the lists."

    This probably reflects the $30,000.00 Neil Gaiman gave to the cult, and an additional $5000.00 to bring him up to Cornerstone Club member. Neil Gaiman is a Scientologist in good standing.

      …i don't think so! At least, that's what my five seconds of research has revealed. Turns out he quit a few years ago. Probably round about the time he divorced his (scientologist) first wife, Mary. Note the contribution is listed as 'Mary and Neil Gaiman', whereas the other couples list the male partners christian name first. Guess he'd already walked by the time the ex made the payment, and the embarrassment of not putting him on the list (i mean, scientologists, socially dysfunctional? Pull the other one, surely!) only slightly out weighed the embarrassment of having a post-clear's(?) name ahead of a true belivers on the list. Neil was born into scientology, hence his initial interest. We all gotta start somewhere. It's all on the (yawn) wikki-wikki-woo, anyway.

      Much more interesting are the links between Alistair Crowley and L. Ron Hubbard. L Ron used to scry for Jack Parsons, head of the powerful Californian OTT and genius rocket scientist; it's where L.Ron aquired alot his material, a strong sense of manipulation, probably the arrogance to boot, i dunno, but it makes a great story for anyone that wants to track it's various threads down…

      Loved this one, off the same site:

      "I'm not angry anymore, as more and more people rediscover their true selves through Scientology, together we WILL achieve a world without war, crime, and insanity." Rex Fowler, OTVII, before allegedly shooting his ex-partner three times in the head and then himself under the chin.

      Hail Xenu……xxx

        …oops, that should be the OTO, not OTT, obviously! And i can’t spell Aleister, either. Proof read, you muppet, proof read…!
