*Taken from gamefaqs* User is: Kijunna I couldn't be with Anonymous today protesting Scientology. Very sad. But I was with them in spirit! I spent most of the day playing Earthbound, and I wasn't expecting it to be in any way relevant. But I discovered something shocking: you can beat up Scientologists in this game. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture16-1.png As soon as I entered the Happy Happy Village, I was harassed for donations. Very Scientologist, but not in itself suspect. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture17-2.png http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture15-1.png If by "Mr. Carpainter" you mean L. Ron Hubbard! I was tired from my trip there, so the first thing I did was look for an Inn. I didn't find one, but I found this guy: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki.../Picture3-2.png =D http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki.../Picture4-2.png D= Scientology is more elitist than most religions. They have a policy of Disconnect, which encourages you do stop talking to any Suppressive Persons (SPs) completely. A Supressive Person is anyone who isn't a Scientologist. This includes friends, family members, etc. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki.../Picture5-1.png http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki.../Picture6-1.png Asking for money again. Money makes the Scientologists tick. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Kijunaa/Picture7.png And poor people cannot become high ranking scientologists. Unless, of course, they sign a one million (1,000,000) year contract to serve the church. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki.../Picture8-1.png On my way out, I was attacked by a Scientologist. In Scientology, enemies of the cult are "fair game", meaning they can be harmed, libeled, slandered, or even killed to keep them silent. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture12-1.png Scientologists are snitches. If someone does something against the rules of scientology, like taking psychiatric medications or engaging in homosexual behavior, its other members are encouraged to tell the higher-ups whatever they know. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture13-1.png THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE. The blue thing is made up, of course, but Scientologists believe that only they are right and refer to themselves as the Most Ethical Organization on Earth. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture14-1.png Here we can see the Fair Game policy in effect again. Anyway, I eventually got to the drug store and withdrew some money from the ATM to rest at the Scientology house. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture19-1.png There's no newspaper outside of my room, like there has been in every inn in the game so far. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki.../Picture9-2.png http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture10-1.png Once I called the Dianetics hotline and asked to speak to L. Ron Hubbard, and they wouldn't let me. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture20-1.png http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture21-1.png Most Ethical Organization on Earth http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u311/Ki...Picture22-1.png And none of the Scientologists respond. Hardcore Disconnect? Paula, who I rescued from the Scientologists, even looks like Lisa McPherson, who was held against her will by Scientologists for ten days until she eventually died. I doubt this was intentional. http://www.whyaretheydead.net/LMT/lisa11-big.jpg http://www.videogamesprites.net/Earthbound...k%20(Front).gif It should be obvious which is which. |

I'd have to say that it applies to some other religions rather than Scientology, but it's a very good example of how people create organizations to make money. It's been awhile since I've played Earthbound and I feel if I played it again I would notice a lot more. After all, last time was when I was like 11 or 12, so I definitely missed a lot of references. |

I'm pretty sure there were some references in the City of Threed. That place freaked me out |

I gotta agree with Bob Dole for once. The video was pretty good. Plus, you even tracked it down on our message board. |
