How do I get off the scientology mailing list? I've begun to receive mailings from them - particularly to join their Sea Org. Is it because I read military science fiction?

They (Women Marines) don't have a nickname, and they don't need one. They get their basic training in a Marine atmosphere, at a Marine Post. They inherit the traditions of the Marines. They are Marines.

The Sea Org is where they train/store all their leadership types. You are honored. Run like Hell!

'Mooner is correct. | Organization or Sea Org is an association of Scientologists established in 1968 by L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction writer and founder of Scientology. Its members are found in the central management organizations of the Church of Scientology as well as in individual churches. While it was initially created around maritime customs and traditions while at sea, those customs and traditions persist today even in the land-based branches of the organization. |
I haven't heard much from these vermin in quite some time, probably because their very existence offends me and I haven't sought them out. But judging form their history, I rather doubt that a polite request will shake them off. A treat of legal action, perhaps a harassment suit, might.
Make no mistake about it, this is a criminal organization and should be regarded, and dealt with, as such.

But the sea orgs, if I recall, are also the ones leaving in compounds and on which more brainwashing is performed and from which more is demanded.
The Sea Orgs constitute the slave labour of Scientology. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

As a skeptic, I'm not sure I wouldn't want to be on their mailing list. Might be fun reading if viewed from a skeptics perspective. If they haven't taken to calling you, or harassing you in any more ramped up way, just throw them away if you are not entertained by them.
Take heart in this. Every letter they send you costs them money...

| Kil, how about I forward all their garbage to you then. Their advertising is vaguely similar to a Navy ad. I saw their ad on the back of one of their magazines and wondered why the Navy was advertising in their publications. |

Thinking about it; the Scientology has the habit to hide behind a variety of fronts (think of it has a gateway scam). They are supposed to be pretty good at it and several such organization even received funding or cooperation from states agencies.
So, maybe you just got into contact with one of this front organization and never even realized that they were afiliated to the Scientology...
