Scientology: Capitalizing On Virginia Tech Deaths One Book At a Time.

Check out this "emergency bulletin" posted on Xenu.net (an anti-Scientology site). It was reportedly disseminated by Scientology church leaders asking them to "Please help us get The Way to Happiness" books" (written by L.Ron Hubbard - Scientology founder) to the "students, faculty, and member so the community of Blacksburg, VA..."

E M E R G E N C Y B U L L E T I N :

THE WAY TO HAPPINESS CAMPAIGN, VIRGINIA TECH

Please help us get The Way to Happiness books to the students, faculty, and members of the community of Blacksburg, VA following the tragic school shooting yesterday at Virginia Tech.

The message of The Way to Happiness book is not only pertinent, but needed at this time of crisis and healing.

Below is an excerpt from The Way to Happiness:

Precept 8: DO NOT MURDER

... “Murder” is another thing entirely. By definition it means, “The unlawful killing of one (or more) human being(s) by another, especially with malice aforethought.” One can easily see that in this age of violent weaponry, murder would be all too easy. One could not exist in a society where oneself or one’s family or friends were at the mercy of some who went about casually taking lives.

Murder justly bears the highest priority in social prevention and retaliation.

The stupid, the evil and the insane seek to solve their real or imagined problems with murder. And they have been known to do it for no reason at all.

Get behind any demonstrably effective program that handles this threat to mankind and push. Your own survival could depend on it.

The way to happiness does not include murdering or your friends, your family, or yourself being murdered.

The message in The Way to Happiness book is needed right now!

Please donate to our campaign for Blacksburg, VA. We plan to distribute 25,000 books in this community. The first books are on their way now!!

$50 = 50 books

$100 = 100 books

$300 = 300 books

$500 = 500 books

$1000 = 1000 books

Call 818-254-0600 or 800-255-7906 or fax your tax deductible donation to 818-254-0555.

Yeah, this crap was sent after a Church of Scientology rep told the New York Daily News that their ministers were "forbidden" from proselytizing to students during "grief counseling" at Virginia Tech.
