I do remember seeing Scientology ads on various sites, but I don't remember seeing one on LJ before. I now have the AdBlock Plus extension to Firefox, so I don't usually see ads at all any more. But yes, it is a deeply worrying and unpleasant organisation.
Religion is not self help.
I think that's still giving them too much credit. If those churches are like some of the ones we have here, they claim they'll help to solve all your problems and make your life better. They promise to fix your marriage, get you out of financial difficulty, help your career, and take away bad luck. How? Prayers and miracles! You don't have to do any work, just make a wish and the magical fairies will sprinkle you with stardust and make everything all right. It's self-help for people who are too damn lazy for self-help. These people seem to think Jesus is going to descend from heaven and do their homework for them. Grow up, folks! Your lives are your responsibility!
