Jenna Elfman on Scientology
How did you get into Scientology? (From a magazine interview)
**My husband has been a Scientologist for years, and I kept hearing him talk about Dianetics. So he gave me the book, which I said I'm not gonna read--it's too big. I'm not a big reader.. And then one day I ran into a situation that made me like, frazzled. I had a job dancing on Murder, She Wrote, and I was spending the night at my now-husband, boyfriend-at-the-time's house. I was so used to the alarm that it didn't wake me up, and I woke up an hour and a half after I was supposed to be there. And you know, you get that panic: "Oh, God! Ohhhh!" I got in the car and I was all frazzled and starting to cry and was rushed, and I couldn't think. I couldn't even put my seatbelt on. I was just a mess. Then I went, Wait a minute--that's purely reactive and insane. Look, I went, you're in the car, you can't get there any faster. So just turn the music on, enjoy. This has happened to me before and I arrived on the set and messed everybody's day up. Being so apologetic is really pushing people away and turning them off--and I had a horrible shoot. It's not optimum. So this time, I said, wait a sec. Now let's just apply what you learned last night. And I went da-da-da, da-da-da and got a lot more analytical about the situation. When I got there, I said, "I'm very sorry I'm late. The alarm didn't wake me up." And they said, "That's fine. We're not going to get to you for another few hours. Just take your time, relax. Get some coffee." Like, wow! I went, This is great. I like this. This helps me. It's just very simple: Scientology helps me live my life better. **

So, Scientology made everybody at the set late so she could relax. Or she learned how to take a deep breath and maybe get a louder alarm clock? What a complete ditz. She'll disappear when her TV show does.

The Daily Radar web site reported that Scientology celebrity Jenna Elfman recently refused to participate in a charity autograph auction. "During the last holiday season, the Dharma & Greg star refused to take part in a celebrity autograph auction for an organization that raised money for the care of children with HIV. As a brainwashed devotee of The Church of Scientology, the bah-humbugy Elfman stated that she couldn't support any organization that raised money for AIDS research or relief because 'AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease.' Get over it! They're babies, for Buddha's sake!! (or should we say 'for Xenu's sake' -- in honor of her wacky alien leader/god?). Ironically, Scientology megacelebs Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and John Travolta all donated autographs for the same auction." Message-ID: Pine.BSF.4.21.9912220721120.45840-100000@web2.sea.nwserv.com |
