Kirstie Alley and Scientology Can’t Fight Butter!
Allie Sez.. Scientology Works and it Helps People
Kirstie was recently on Oprah. You know how much Oprah loves her Scientology cult friends. From Tomcat to Travolta and Kelly Preston to her larger-than-life pal Kirstie.
The main topic of the show was Kirstie’s 83-pound weight gain, which of course she whined about and successfully made a total ass out of herself.
Kirstie has been struggling with her weight for years. Even when she appeared on Oprah post Jenny Craig wearing a bathing suit and claiming to be down to 140 pounds a while back, I think she was kidding herself. I know she had lost weight, but this picture shows Kirstie showing off some pretty thunderous CRL’s (charging rhino legs).
I used an acronym, because you know how much Scientology loves to use them in their “Sci speak”.
As you may or may not know, Kirstie is a HUGE supporter (don’t mean that literally, although it certainly applies) of the Cult of Scientology. She is the receiver of the Diamond Meritorious Award, which basically means she gave a butt load of money — FIVE MILLION to be exact — to the cult and in return, she received some phony ass award which consists of a crappy cheap statue and some back slaps.
Members “donate” cash so they can contribute to the cult’s mission of ”clearing the planet” and obliterating psychiatry. Although nobody has ever seen any evidence of this ”plan” actually working. Apparently, that tiny little fact doesn’t bother celebrities and other cult members, who still dig deep in their pockets for the cause. I don’t get it. Whatever happened to the ol’ cliche “Seeing is Believing”?
Kirstie with Kids and Cult Leader David Miscavige
- Nancy Cartwright, 50, Patron Laureate Award: $10 million.
- Kirstie Alley, 57, Diamond Meritorious Award: $5 million.
- John Travolta, 53, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
- Kelly Preston, 45, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
- Priscilla Presley, 62, Patron Award: $50,000.
L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings of his vision to “clear the planet and obliterate psychiatry” is followed religiously by cult members. (Even though it is FAR from a religion). Especially for the fact that L. Ron Hubbard was the biggest con since the original snake oil salesmen of yore.
Many people ask why Hubbard was so against psychiatry, and that still stands true for his cult members today. Scientologists are actually holding a protest against psychiatry in San Francisco on May 16th, and I am sure the group Anonymous will be there to protest the Scientologist’s protest. Wish we were there to cover it!
The simple reason why Hubbard hated psychiatrists began as deep-seated mistrust born of his own mental illnesses, and when Hubbard set out to create a new brand of “psychotherapy” the psychiatric community saw through his junk pseudo science and called him on it. Like any paranoid megalomaniac, he set out to destroy his enemies (and competition in this case.)
In Hubbard’s own words:
“We know more about psychiatry than psychiatrists” and “We can brainwash faster than the Russians” taken from his HCO Technical Bulletins Volume 2
Hubbard also had grandiose claims of curing many ailments and illnesses. Here are some actual excerpts (borrowed from Wiki) of L. Ron Hubbard’s babblings taken from his books of data, brace yourself for the b.s.:
“The problem of psychosomatic illness is entirely embraced by Dianetics, and by Dianetic technique such illness has been eradicated entirely in every case. About 70 percent of the physician’s current roster of diseases fall in the category of psychosomatic illness.” Hubbard added, “That all illnesses are psychosomatic is, of course, absurd, for there exist, after all, life forms called germs which have survival as their goals.” [emphasisin the original.] Later in the chapter Hubbard asserted, “Bizarre aches and pains in various portions of the body are generally psychosomatic. Migraine headaches are psychosomatic and, with the others, are uniformly cured by Dianetic therapy.”
- “MAYBE YOU’RE NOT SICK
- “MAYBE YOU’RE JUST SUPPRESSED
- “SEE US AND FIND OUT”
“Legally, this permits us to heal without engaging in healing as, in actual fact, we address no illnesses and indeed, DENY people are ill–they are only suppressed. Sickness occurs, we say, where suppression has been too great…. The legal argument is simple; we don’t believe in sickness, we do not address illness, we do not diagnose, we believe that freeing the human spirit also incidentally prevents sickness…. We do send acutely ill people to doctors. We advertise to cure no diseases! That last is legally important.”
From his writings in the History of Man:
Numerous medical cures are claimed:
- “Today, Eleanor has arthritis. She is audited… tonight she doesn’t have arthritis” (pg.7)
- “Paralysis, anxiety stomachs, arthritis and many ills and aberrations have been relieved by auditing them.” (pg.14)
- “Cancer has been eradicated by auditing out conception and mitosis.” (pg.20)
From Dianetics:
Originally published in 1950, this book (full title: Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health) has undergone many slight changes and alterations over the years, so one edition may vary from another. Among its claims:
- “arthritis vanishes, myopia gets better, heart illness decreases, asthma disappears, stomachs function properly and the whole catalogue of illnesses goes away and stays away.” (pg.72, 1987 edition)
- “Clears do not get colds.” (pg.121, 1992 edition)
“Clears” for all of you who do not know what Scientology lingo…
From Wikipedia (and no, it’s not squirreled tech):
Clear is stated to be a condition in which a person is free of the unwanted influence of engrams, unwanted emotions or painful traumas which are not readily available to the awareness of present time. A person in this condition, then referred to as a “Clear”, would be a person cleared of those negative influences. Such a person is said to be “at cause over” (in control of) their “mental energy” (their thoughts), and able to think clearly even when faced with the very situation which in earlier times caused them grave difficulty.
A Clear is a being who no longer has his own reactive mind, and therefore suffers none of the ill effects the reactive mind can cause. The Clear has no engrams which, when re-stimulated, throw out the correctness of his computations by entering hidden and false data.”
Ok got that? No? Well you’re not alone, and even to this day, taking into account Scientology was started back in the 1960s, there has been absolutely NO evidence whatsoever that a “clear” exists at all.
Hey Scientology! Scam much?
Hubbard’s own words from the books Dianetics Today and All About Radiation:
In the 1975 edition of Hubbard’s Dianetics Today, it is claimed:
- “A broken limb will heal (by X-ray evidence) in two instead of six weeks.” (pg.110)
- “I’ve seen a goiter the size of a baseball visibly shrink and disappear in the space of one-half hour right after an engram was run.” (pg. 280)
- “A girl crippled by polio was able to throw away her crutches after my first session.” (pg.353)
- “ONLY processing by Dianetics and Scientology can handle the effects of drugs fully.” (pg.481)
All About Radiation
Hubbard’s 1957 book introduced a vitamin supplement called “Dianazene.” Hubbard promoted it as a form of protection against radiation poisoning during the 1950s, saying that “Dianazene runs out radiation – or what appears to be radiation. It also proofs a person against radiation in some degree. It also turns on and runs out incipient cancer.”
So I think you get where I am going with this?
If Scientology can cure cancer, arthritis and so on….then why isn’t it written up in any medical journals? Why isn’t it in ANY other books? Why isn’t this “knowledge” shared world wide by scientists and other scholars? And more importantly (I kid) WHY is Kirstie in a constant battle with her weight? If Scientology holds the answer to all matters of the physical and the mind (other than those pesky germs) why did Kirstie Alley need Jenny Craig to begin with? WHY WHY WHY?
Ok, I know Scientologists will say its not the tech that doesn’t work, it’s Kirstie “pulling it in”. In other words, they mean it’s Kirstie’s fault. Of course it’s her fault, she is the one who claimed that butter is a big problem for her and that she puts six tablespoons of butter on pasta! SIX tablespoons. That is two tablespoons shy of an entire stick of butter! YUCK!
So…with all that money she’s donated, and all the courses and all the auditing she has done for YEARS, she can’t even fight the battle of the bulge ? You mean she can’t “audit” her way into a thong? *tee hee*
My point is, after Kirstie donated over FIVE MILLION dollars to a fake “church” that proclaims to cure all these major illnesses and it can help you with ANY problem you may have, (go into any Scientology org, and that is what they will tell you) including a cure for homosexuality (how’s that coming along Travolta?), you mean to tell me that Scientology has no power over butter?
Kirstie, if Scientology has no power over butter, you might want to ask Scientology for a BIG FAT refund. What kind of all powerful cult can’t control butter? Fail!
The real answer in all of this is Scientology’s tech simply doesn’t work. It’s all a huge ponzi scheme to bilk members of hundreds of thousands of dollars and once they have you hooked and owing them money for all those courses and materials, you can’t leave because they will use every secret you’ve ever shared during their auditing (the Catholics like to call it confessions, but whose mincing words.)
So if they tell you you have problems, and they can cure what ails you, and all you have to do is take a few courses…then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, ‘cuz let’s face if you fall for Scientology’s nonsense you will believe ANYTHING.
And speaking of bridges. The courses and auditing they get you into, is just a small step to the many levels up to Scientology’s “Bridge To Total Freedom”. Which we here at Glosslip and many refer to as the Bridge To Nowhere.
There is no bridge people.
There is however, a guarantee, that if you decide to go with Scientology, you will have MORE problems. You will have financial, mental and family problems down the line, just to name a few.
Many people seek Scientology out because they are at their wits ends with problems, depression or health issues and they are searching for answers and a cure. The vultures of Scientology consider these people, the exact ”fresh meat” they are looking for. Vulnerable and prime for the picking.
Scientology will never give you the answers to any of your problems, even if they convince you they can. People believe what they want to hear. You shouldn’t have to pay for salvation, it’s one of the only things in life which is and should be free.
If you have problems, health or otherwise, seek out the help of a qualified professional. That means real doctors, real nutritionists, real psychiatrists, real specialists who’ve been trained for years at credited institutions using proven scientific methods and have been tested to make sure they have the knowledge and skill needed to help you. You don’t need to spend thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars on auditing, courses, books and DVDs loaded with nothing more that L. Ron Hubbard’s dribble, that nobody REALLY comprehends, because in actuality, his teachings have been totally debunked and it makes no sense whatsoever.
Please ask yourself if you are also willing to support an organization that is rife with human rights abuses and crimes. Celebrities are kept away from the nasty truths of Scientology, so they will continue to be their cash cows.
And speaking of cows…sorry Kirstie, you are only one TINY example Scientology doesn’t work. Well.. not really tiny. Oh no I didn’t!
Save your cash for your kids! WAKE UP WOMAN!

Dianetics & Scientology do in the main appear worth achieving like how a person could want to become superman can be worth achieving or how a person can want to go to heaven can be worth achieving.
However reality & ideaology or wishful thinking are not on the same parallel.
People can follow their ideals & may believe these are working but reality always in the end brings them crashing down.
Hubbard never died in a way that anyone would want to emulate.
Seeing is believing is not a reality of any religion including Scientology so they merely continue believing.

Did you notice that, when she needed to lose weight, she went to Jenny Craig, not Co$? Why is that?

As the pic suggests, this is a really classy gal.
And who does she think she’s fooling with her “140 lbs” claim?
I just love it when Hubbard’s claims of curing this or that are quoted. So $cientology can “cure” cancer, arthritis, asthma and a host of other things, but not obesity, even for “Diamond Meritorious Award” winners?
However my personal favorite batshit crazy claim from Ronny has to be:
“Leukaemia is evidently psychosomatic in origin and at least eight cases of leukaemia had been treated successfully by Dianetics after medicine had traditionally given up. The source of leukaemia has been reported to be an engram containing the phrase ‘It turns my blood to water.’” – L. Ron Hubbard, “Journal of Scientology,” Issue 15-G, 1953

While I don’t like picking on the weight-challenged, that is a good point about Scientology. You’d think that, considering the whole basis of their religion is helping you to control your emotions, overcome personal obstacles, etc., someone who is so deep in it (I’m sure she’s some level of OT after all these years) wouldn’t have such a drastic weight problem. All of that auditing didn’t help her figure out what it is that makes her unable to maintain a healthy diet? The “Purification Rundown” didn’t help her cleanse her body?
That’s not a good advertisement for the organization.
I mean, supposedly, Scientology cured Tom Cruise’s dyslexia, but it can’t help stop Kristie Allie from eating too much?

This is one of the best articles ever on this subject, except for one tiny thing
You should know that many people do not go into scientology looking for cures or solutions to health problems. The usual person is someone looking for more fullfillment, more successs, more understanding of others or themselves, and they are usually at a vulnerable age of period of life where responsibilities are few and choices are many. Ages 16-32 are average when taken in by the con game.

Just the fact that clears (and even Heber Jentsch, the President) wear glasses disproves Co$–its supposed to clear blindness, and it doesn’t even cure near-sightedness! They don’t even know how to lie–if they would wear contact lenses, it wouldn’t be so obvious that Co$ does not cure near-sightedness.

As an example of how far gone Kirstie is, on Oprah she talked about how she lost 20 lbs. in just the past 5 weeks and is on the verge of introducing her own weight loss program. She doesn’t want to represent Jenny Craig. She wants to BE the next Jenny Craig.
She wants to make up for “letting down” people, over her own weight gain by suckering them into a fad diet that hasn’t even worked for her yet.
Even Oprah’s jaw kind of dropped at the whole idea. It was weird, like watching a comedy skit where you’d expected Oprah to pull a can of Slimfast from under her seat and start hawking it again.
“Slimfast is always better the second time around.”
Kirstie is like Hubbard, who, unable to overcome his own problems (smoking, weight loss, relationships, pill popping, various illnesses, paranoia, unhappiness) had to pretend he had found the “answers” for everyone else to do so, like it is the next best thing.
In Kirstie’s mind, she is some kind of weight loss guru already, who is just lacking in people to start turning over their money to her, following her diet plan, and then she knows she’ll have the incentive to lose weight and stay thin?
That makes sense in terms of Scientology, which is all about money, and getting other people to support you for your cockamamie claims of powers and healing.
It is like the delusion of having super powers, when a Scientologist has none. I’m cured of dyslexia. You’ve got to try it to see what it can help you with!
You know what the purif book says about diet? It gives simple,sensible advice, that is common knowledge. That each person is different, and people need to find the diet that works for their individual metabolism.
They don’t touch it with a ten foot pole, or claim that sauna is going to help shed the pounds. Or claim that the root problem is something that can be cured by Scientology. What a freakin’ copout eh?
It is the ONLY Scientology book I’ve read in total. It is written for a 3rd grader, and has mixed wackiness about niacin, combined with common sense drivel.

Another great article.

Thanks JustCallMeMary, I realize that it is not only desperate people or people with problems who get into Scientology, which is why I said SOME people.
Ultimately over all, its people looking for answers. And yes I agree with you, the young and the vulnerable find it hard to resist that carrot dangled in front of them that represents success and or fullfillment.
To Xenunian, thanks for the extra info, that IS a scary notion. I don’t think she will have any takers though!! LOL!
And thank you to William!

The definition of an extremist, is “one who takes ideas foolishly too far”. Not for nothing, but the writer of this article seems to be entrenched in some hatred of Kirstie Alley. That’s not my problem.
Comment by sissy — May 17, 2009 @ 6:42 am
Kirsty is an OT8. OT8 is a level in $cientology where you are told you have “control of MEST (matter, energy, space and time)”. If Kirsty can control MEST, why can’t she control her own weight?
Something aint right here.

Dawn, can you do an article on Jenna Elfman? She’s got a show that’s on the CBS fall lineup and she’s a diehard Scilon who’s made homophobic and racist comments towards Anonymous…
Comment by mooki — May 18, 2009 @ 8:02 pm
Well done again! Lurv your site! Yes, please do Jenna Elfman! She is such a bigot!
Comment by remonstranon — May 19, 2009 @ 3:01 pm
Fantastic article. Scientology itself is slowly crumbling as the public finds out more and more of its dirty little secrets. Thanks for writing this!!!
