High-Ranking Scientologist Reveals the Memo the Church Sent Out After ‘South Park’ Poked Fun at Tom Cruise
Published By admin with Comments 0
Scientologists have a series of acronyms and codes to refer to the various threats to their plans for world domination, with the kind of “joking & degrading” featured on shows like South Park shortened to “J&D.” Gotta protect the head FP somehow.
When Trey Parker and Matt Stone first started taking shots at the aggressively litigious and rapidly growing religious and political organization the Church of Scientology in the classic South Park Season 12 episode “Trapped in the Closet,” they unintentionally sparked one of the show’s most disappointing controversies that led to beloved series regular Isaac Hayes leaving the show for good, shortly before his death. As one of the many celebrities whom Scientologists successfully recruited into their ranks, Hayes supposedly took issue with South Park repeating the official Scientology creation myth verbatim and educating the world on what Scientologists actually believe.
Hayes’ son Isaac Hayes III has long argued that, due to his father’s declining health at the time when he supposedly stepped away from the role of Chef on South Park, his father couldn’t have penned the public and infamous 2006 resignation letter, and that Scientology officials must have ghost-written the condemnation of “Trapped in the Closet” without Hayes’ knowledge. However, a former high-ranking Scientologist who claims to have penned the internal memo addressing the Church’s plan of response to “Trapped in the Closet” says that the truth is much more complicated.
I didn’t know “make love to children” needed an entire dispatch.
