I officially hate scientology more than I already had prior to watching this. Nonetheless, I think I'm scarred for life.

Also, I agree that it should spread to youtube/google video because this way it might bring less server activity/hateful focus on YTMND. i don't exactly want to see YTMND die this way.

Well put together, deserves a 5.

wow, i was seriously disturbed by that. but great job anyways

Id say awesome job, but I dont want to be killed by scientologists.

To the debate at the begginning of the comments of the difference between Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Scientology. (If anyone is actually reading, I'll give my two cents). People don't die inconspicuosly at hotels in Mecca or the Vatican. People don't die giving confession (in relation to the "help" Lisa recieved after she was in that accident), and you don't have to pay a dime to go to a Church or Mosque or Temple (except for gas), or to pay for a confetion or mass or prayer.

Make one with censored photos so it can avoid the NWS-hammer

Has anyone contacted operation clambake about this yet?

Perfect music.

5'd for originality and (possible) truth

I beleive before he died, L. Ron Hubbard admitted to saying scientology was no more than a silly little joke for him, he said he based his "religion" off of his science fiction novels and said nobody should really beleive in it. Though I find scientology itself harmless and stupid knowing the fact that Hubbard used it as comedy relief, I'm scared of it just because of the fact Tom Cruise is in it. I just can't wait till the damn spaceship comes and they all kill themselves to hitch a ride on it, damn cults

truth is the best humor

One of my Dad's messed up friends became involved in Scientology a few years ago. He left when he was made to stand guard on a boat with a gun they gave him, with the orders to stop anyone who approached the boat.

because this is what was going through Hubbards head: lrhsues.ytmnd.com

WowScary.

2,731 votes. 4.81 rating and rising. Destined to be the highest rated YTMND of all time, mark my words

You have done a great service to humanity. 5

geez amazing

Time to show everybody this, even the media.

serious indeed.

pretty cool, i liked the song alot too

i thought it was really good that you exposed scientology for what it really is...but this isn't exactly the right place for it. I recommend you make a documentary or something. As many other ppl said before me, this is YTMND. As in, funny, jokes, haha, you know, that stuff. This is the right thing to do, but the wrong place to do it.

Hey guys. I decided I'm going to be a Scientologist now.

Thank goodness you put eBaum at the end. I'd never get to sleep tonight if I didn't at least laugh... We should send this to news websites. Force them to put it on TV.

Wow...That made me say Holy sh*t about 5 times

4.81, holy f*ck, highest score I've ever seen.

wow

Eric reference was the funniest thing I've seen all day!

Serious business. You know, L. Ron Hubbard and his church sound a lot like a cross between Eric Bauman and Jack Thompson. The Church uses a crack legal team to evade justice (Bauman), and L. Ron Hubbard, according to Wikipedia, "was also convinced psychiatrists were themselves deeply unethical individuals, committing 'extortion, mayhem and murder.'" He uses terms that describe his own cult to describe the people he dislikes, kind of like Thompson does with words that describe himself.

Everyone who's judging Scientology based on this YTMND: Please don't judge all the members as evil people because of the silliness or corrupt nature of their beliefs and actions. Some Scientologists may be corrupt and may do horrible things, but that doesn't mean everyone in the group is same way. There is quite a large chance that some members of the religion are decent, friendly people.

So proud of ytmnd and max for taking these evil people on directly like this.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL check this out!! http://www.xenu.net/flash/specious.swf

that is just scary.....it is the truth, though.

So so true.

Intresting, but not funny. Also "isnt that right eric" was quite..gay. I'm not sure if i should mark this nsfw or not.

Throwing Ebaum in there was completely unecessary and even comparing him to Scientologists is retarded. Takes the score down I'm afraid. Other than that, why is this being fav'd?? It has pictures of corpses in it!! Jesus...

However, thank you, smoothmedia, for exposing the terrible reality that is the corruption of some of the members in this religion.

very nice job, 5

Please tell me those pics were taken before the woman was killed

f*ckin scary man

wow..this is utterly amazing, excellent information..i actually learned a thing or 2..and you cited sources :D! id give you a 10 if i could!

Suppose the Scientologists came in and NSFW'd it in an attempt to derail it? Sure there's the really disturbing images, but the truth must be known!

Captain, we've been NSFW'd!

5'd. also cocks

5'd and fav'd.

Jesus christ...

damnit, do we link to the nsfw'd url or the origional?

5'd for truth. f*ck scientology

As a matter of fact, this ought to be put (perhaps slightly toned down) in leaflet form. Then people could just print them out and leave them in public restrooms, phone booths, that sort of thing.

oh yeah, f*ck all the douchebag downvoters who say "it has to be funny MAAANNNNNNNN"... ytmnd isn't about just funny, it's about creativity f a g s

This shouldn't be NSFW.

Organized religions on the whole tend to displease me slightly. YTMND should launch a war on scientology now, sort of a springboard from the Ebaum war =p

google bomb it, we have already started google bombing the origional site, even though it brings up the nsfw thing now

Run Max! RUN AWAY!

nice audio choice. clams ftl

get this off NSFW!

This needs to be seen by everyone. I hope they don't come around to your door for making this, smoothmedia. =(

Was totally expecting a screamer...

That was just creepy...

indeed

EVERYONE WHO 5'S OR FAV'S THIS PLEASE ALSO VOTE IT WORK-SAFE.

I've seen some of those deaths discussed in newpapers. This is truth and its scary. And dont forget that its contintly being populariuzed by Celbertiys who are paid to get others into this dangerous cult.

4x-Win

Lmao i donated 5 bucks just so this would overpass ''heil to the soup'' in donation bucks. I didnt like the heil to the soup site anyways so woot :)

This was very interesting but disturbing at the same time. Nice job, smoothmedia.

I'm happy you found this stuff out, but try not to make this public or you might get into an "acident". But I only wonder how horible the death of that guy in the tub must've been. The poor guy must've suffered horibly. Nothing can justify that, not even scary music. (nesm lol)

I voted when it was 2000 votes and a score of 4.8.. nearly 1000 votes later and it's now 4.81, could it get higher? Probably

makes me glad I'm Catholic...not involved in a cult at all...for real, this is some scurry sh*t. I appreciated the references. Give your short much creeptastic credence.

mos def work safe.... bring this ytmnd to the top!

bravo...... bravo

"There is quite a large chance that some members of the religion are decent, friendly people." That's very true, there are. But I think people's disgust with scientology comes from the actual church, and not just the members. Most other religions, on the other hand, are hated for their members too. It says something bad when only their church is hated.

WE dont hate the scientologists that dont know what the true intentions of scientology is all about. We hate the ones that do, and if we want to do something about it... send a THWOMP and Blast the sh*t out of the main scientology building and send cars doing a barrel roll etc. lol, internet.

I ask that you remove the reference to Eric Bauman. A lying, stealing, conniving intellectual property thief he might be, but not even he deserves to be mentioned following the revelations of such unspeakable evil. There's a big difference between having a legal team to defend stealing someone's flash movies and having a legal team to get away with brutal torture and murder. The message of the YTMND is and ought be serious; I ask, politely, that you try to keep it on a serious note and remove Mr. Bauman.

I agree with omni.. even eric doesn't deserve to have that kind of treatment although it was funny that you mentioned him.. yeah.. take poor bauman out of there :S

Bring the f*ckers down.

Wow

I knew that woman, Lisa Mcpherson, would end up dead once you mentioned her. I just wasn't expecting that picture. Good job.

I thought I had clicked the stars, I guess not. Let's try this again.

I hate the baumans and the scientology f*ckers all the same.

I'm seriously afraid, by fiving this, that I am going to be killed by Scientoligists. GG.

i hope this helps some people. i really think it will

God, that boiled guy picture was...ugh...

lol, monacle o_O-

oops i meant monocle.. -_O- i do say...

: | thats creepy 5'd for teh reasearch ; )

This is an EXCELLENT ytmnd. GOOGLEBOMB!

What is the point of making this nsfw with a non-working age verification... I do give warning TWICE. Plus, I don't think these pictures are too graphic to view at work, its a serious issue.

holy sh*t that was f*cking weird and scary

Wow...

Holy.... 5 for the ultimate smackdown.

No other YTMND has deserved a Fav as much as this.

Life changing Ytmnd. O:

f*cking freaks

what is the record for most views in one day?

fkin freaks

Can i just say that its REALLY annoying when people downvote things like this only because its not funny? What kind of bullsh*t is that? YTMND isnt ONLY about funny sites people, its about TRUTH! why do you think so many people fav'd and 5 star'd this? Because they are amazed at some knowledge about Scientology they didnt know about. I was amazed too, a lil scared also. Im f*cking glad this was made, Funny or not, i like it.

Sweet. back to Worksafe! thanx mods. As for the record of views in a day, it has to be held by "Blue Ball Factory" i think it was over 50k.

well I agree that most scientologists aren't evil, but the way it works is that you learn about this crazy sh*t in tiers. So the high up people (Tom Cruise, Travolta) DO know about this weird sh*t and are engaged in it. They. Are. Evil.

straight f*cked up

usually i abhor trendy sh*t like this, but scientology is f*cked up sh*t.

Spread the word.

Hall of Fame we hope.

YTMND is waht you make of it, people. Fark.com does funny, scary, and odd stories, not just funny stories. Why? To have more content. So don't downvote because it's not funny. Only downvote if it tries to be funny and fails. This is obviously a serious YTMND, and it succeeds.

Thanks for telling us

Brilliance.

=O

holy sh*t dude

Needs to be shown to the world.

Wow. Just wow. Best YTMND ever.

Its great to point and laugh at Scientology, since they deserve it, but religions all over the world like Christianity are responsible for millions of deaths, and no less a cult than these guys are. God wills it. Blasphemy!

your the scientology now dog!

for whatever reason i hadnt clicked this link yet until now--this was soo incredibly well put together, man, and powerful to say the least. the photo of the first dead woman you showed gave me the f*cking chills. massive 5 on this ytmnd.

oh god.. this is pretty heavy. Fine job man, fine job.

To have a 4.8 rating after 2,894 votes is simply...amazing. If any site deserves it its this one though. We must free Xenu and punish the Hubbardites for their crimes.

scary as hell, and it's truthful

spooky

eternal batteries!!

Whoa, these ppl really can't be messed with, can they? Here's hoping they don't come after you, smoothmedia...

A NOTE FROM XENU: PLEASE DO NOT KEEP RANKING THIS A 5 BECAUSE THEN IT WILL RANK AS THE BEST YTMND OF ALL TIME, AND XENU'S SECRET COVER WILL BE BLOWN, MAKING XENU, RON HUBBARD AND TOM CRUIZ VERY PISSED. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT RANK THIS A 5 ANYMORE. PLEASE. LOVE, XENU.

Perfect.

That chick's corpse looked like Terri Schiavo.

Yes. This is exactly the kind of stuff we need on the frontpage, people need to know how dangerious these sick f*cks are.

This cleared up a lot of things. Crime-busting FTW.

Holy damn, yo. That's some crazy sh*t. Good work, detective.

that scared the crap out of me

are you saying the catholic church has nothing to do with christianity? The religion of Scientology is harmless, its the "church" that is dangerous. Correct. The catholic Church (spurned by greed and it's alliance with British Royalty ... simply meaning the king got a cut of the churches money at all times) were the cause of alot of deaths. Christianity on the other hand teaches to love your neighbor as you'd love yourself. The religion of Christianity is harmless, it's the "church" that you need to

HOLY sh*t that scared me OMG!

eerie

Somebody should make a Michael Moore style documentary on this.

Please, link the music. Also, while I'm a man of humor, this brings to light just why we make fun of this people. They are nuts, off the wall full blown nuts...

be worried about. Oh yeah, 5'd. :D

Great, now I want to kill Hubbard. *Sharpens sword* Oh well.

ok well normally i give 1's to unfunny sites, but i can only imagine the rage that the church of scientology will have when they see this, and that will amuse me adequetly

5'd Great work on letting people know the truth.

WTF STOP MAKING FUN OF MY CHURCH YOU BASTARD!!!! Joking... Thats just eerie... And REALLY awesome facts/BG music. 5'd no doubt.

More than a little disquieting...

Quit with the lame documentaries. You guys are ruining YTMND.

Informative YTMND ftw! And Eric is a plus;)

you win YTMND

Ive been thinking about Max's safety on this too, and smoothmedia. Hope you dont have any personal information out there

ozzie i agree. i dont support any protestant church really, im more for fallowing the teachings of christ. and if i do donate money its to something that i know is a good cause or if i want to support something... and only if i want to.

Damn. That's some serious sh*t. If I were you, smoothmedia, I would be careful. Scientologists are watching YTMND now, and with this, somthing that reveals some truths to a wide audiance, you should be careful. They may try their ways on you.

lol, teknorat with the hundred and something sponsorship again. Apparently, yourpenis also felt the need to donate. hah

The Scientologists have taken me. Please send help.

i agree that their are many people who try to curropt every religion. *cough pat robertson cough*. and that is why i am reluctant to support any particular church

Just be careful about strange people you meet and packages you get. They have ways of finding out who you are.

You can always fight back. If they are trying to kill you, kill them first. Flee the country and enjoy your new life. A cult like that in my home country would get stoned to death.

Woah, creepy! Good job.

yeah we need to try and do something about this sh*t

scientology must be destroyed

I think Scientology is f*cked up as hell and this is an amazing ytmnd, but it *may* be of some value to realize that people who are drawn to bat sh*t "religions" like this might be a little crazy to begin with. So while, yes, Scientology played a role in their suicide/murder deaths, they may have been a little f*cked in the head to begin with. Just a thought...

Actually, I just downvoted this instead of upvoted this. Not that I don't think this deserves a 5, it's just that we should bring this down before it's gets too famous around the internet. I fear for your safety, and I don't want to have you be added to that YTMND.

scientology makes me want to poop

Five and Fave for the complete truth. WATD gave you props, it seems. TomCruiseIsNuts should be informed. Seriously - anyone who would downvote this is probably a Scientologist anyway.

This is that stuff the likes of Tom Cruise and John Travolta like to "forget". I'd watch my *ss if I were you though, these people don't f*ck around.

quick smoothmedia, post your name, address, phone number, picture and a list of your worst fears. That way, if anything happens to you and it is consistent with any of that information we can blame the scientologists.

Yeah assdisaster, these kinds of people could show up at smooth's door, take him away to a soul brainwashing sosiety, and make hime belive a false reality.

This is scarier that any of those "prank screamers" floating around on the internet. The music partly did it, and so did the content. Now they are after Max...

"...its the "church" that is dangerous. Correct. The catholic Church..." Bingo, and during the protestant reformation, millions of Europeans left the Catholic church

Well done

Attn: Smooth-Please post a message under this YTMND once a day at least so we know if the Scientologists have taken you.

creeeepy as hell.

Scary truth. 5'd, great YTMND.

neat

People claiming that cults and religions are the same thing (at least one other person did in comments) need to swallow a knife.

BTW, Whether it's %100 true or not (I'm leaning towards not), it's still pretty unsettling and interesting.

o.o

Excellent presentation. 5'd

awesome site...great job!

"the only people who attack the Church are people who are afraid of finding something" - http://www.xenutv.com/originals/4th.htm True story. Just like this YTMND.

Yeah okay now I can't sleep. They probably have my IP logged.

morman religion takes 10% of most members income. whats worst?

very very nice

your so gonna die man, totally awesome.

WICKED SITE!!

Carefull man i think they are on to you

"the comment my brother said comparing this to Hitler blaming the Jews kindof turned me off." There's really not much base to that. Hitler blamed a group of people, this blames a specific organization. Also, it's not using that blame to gain power. This YTMND (to my knowledge) isn't run and sponsored by the government for scapegoating purposes.

After searching for 'Lisa McPherson' on this site I was like 'wtf, they're poking fun at the BS alien story but they don't know that people are actually being *KILLED* by this damned cult?' I don't really do animation, but ... thanks for putting this up. Covered a lot more than I would have, and a lot more convincing. Some stuff I didn't even know. f*ck SCIENTOLOGY! Teh truth shall set you free...

Oh, and 5'd for 'isn't that right Eric'.

That's pretty scary. Thinking that YTMND isn't all about funny sites. Especially when there's a lawsuit here.

Didn't that lady kinda look like the vegetable girl? in the News?

You get an A on your report, upped from the B I was going to give you before I saw you cited your sources (excellent job). Could have been an A+, but you used wikipedia :P. Good to get the info circulating, though. High five.

Perhaps this is the equivilent of crucifying jesus? They tried to stop christianity, we try to stop scientology. Will we provail, or will this be another jesus tale?

I just shat my pants

scary :(

Best YTMND ever. Why? Because it lashes out at Scientology and tells the truth. Smooth, you're the man, dog. 5.

sh*t. 4.8 average with 3045 votes. also, i had to stop watching when i saw lisa's pics.. they freaked me out, but i'm told there are worse pictures on here. are there?

I am scared.

ytmnd is the internet's truth resource about scientology. better enjoy it before they kill max.

That is one f*cking good presentation. You must have experience doing this. Great work.

Pretty scary. I think I'll buy a gun to keep those Scientology f*cks away from my home just for watching this.

My God, that really was unfunny...

Yeah, that lisa Mcpherson totally looked like terri schiavo. I was thinking the same thing.

wtf, 3000+ votes, rated 4.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!200+$ Sponsorship!!!!!!!!!TOP5!!!!TOPSCIENTOLOGY!!!TOPVIEWED!!!! This is the ytmnd to end all ytmnds.

http://thingy.apana.org.au/~fun/scn/books/vosper/ book

holy sh*t did i just learn something on ytmnd? ...wow. but yeah, that really is some scary stuff. scientology is a lot more serious than i thought.

Remind me not to join any cults.

Excellent YTMND... very well made... even had its own bit of humor at the end.

Let's all go save Katie Holmes from this crazy shiz-nasty!

In all my days, I have never seen a site rated this high. Bravo smoothmedia!

Un-funny indeed.

Wow, freaky stuff, I guess Tom Cruise is screwed now huh? Even if he starts to think straight, somethin bad is bound to happen, lol

http://timescientology.ytmnd.com/ Compilation of Scientology exposing YTMNDs, this one is included. Great Job. *favorites*

Awesome vid. Your music creeped me the hell out...

The votes to favorites ratio on this YTMND is 3,073 : 515... does anything else even approach this??? You've created a monster, smooth.

Any downvoters are scientologists.

Christianity has killed far more people in far more gruesome ways.

"Any downvoters are scientologists." Replace "scientologists" with "people who come to YTMND for its humor, not for lame-ass stump speaches," and I'm all with ya.

^ Scientologist

Well I must say that was truly disturbing and educational. I will never watch this again at 12am. 5'd for a job well done, exposing those who exploit this "church". That Lisa girl did look like Terry Schiavo, though, just a thought. I highly suggest you and Max get bodyguards, possibly a lawyer if they find you and begin to harass you, because I fear for you both.

People deserve to know the truth. Well done.

I sense a rebellion soon.

now, if we could only have one about catholicism with about 1,000,000 deaths... f*ck ALL RELIGION!!!

5'd....why doesn't anybody do anything about them??? how can they get away with all of this, protected by US law???

NICE. A mcuh needed BITCH SLAP to Scientology. Those sick f*ckers.

OMG Eric Bauman is a scientologist.

Creepy music

this is just retarded

Dead, dehydrated, roach-bitten corpse + dead body with skin boiled off + creepy music = scary as hell

Holy crap, that's a loooot of donations.

I like the idea of posting flyers with the address to this YTMND near or around my local Scientology church :D

that gave me nightmares

Creepy music.. but it was very informative. I think most of us have a new view on this cult now.

Made an account to 5 this.

creepy.. ;_; scientology sucks, at least we know all about these ****ers and what they do 5'd ^-^

The scientologists have taken me, please send help.

i'm gonna be laughing when all you guys realize that scientology was actually the right religion

:0 cool maybe you will get to kick it with xenu

Can't sleep, scientologists will eat me. T0T

xenutv.com

I can't trust the Wikipedia stuff simply because someone can log on the site and change any info they want. However, the total amount of research you did on this is amazing. 5'd.

The creepy part is how the cult infiltrated the IRS. AND f*ckEN EH...thats a f*cked up story and pic about the women.

Truth wins the internets.

Everyone who has a digg.com account go here: http://digg.com/search?search=theunfunnytruth&submit=Search&area=all&type=both&age=60&search-buried=on and digg it!

The first YTMND I found truly disturbing. f*ck SCIENTOLOGY! L RON HUBBORD WAS A SCI-FI WRITER FFS!!!

The Christian Perspective: L. Ron Hubbard was most definitely sent to hell where he was locked in a room with a monster that resembles Xenu, whom continually brainwashes him into sucking his dick.

lol 4.8 this is going Hall of Fame

very nice, but isnt this a nsfw?

a very boring site

go Teknorat and also go yourpenis and also go Teknorat's penis

Also, bare in mind that Scientology doesn't seem to WANT to kill anyone. These deaths seemed like horrible accidents or suicides. It does raise suspicion, though. Scientology shouldn't be allowed to carry on. They clearly aren't interested in helping people, but instead are only interested in money.

I'm supporting a petition to google-bomb this

Deserves to be #1

Good point. The C of S doesn't MURDER people, but it does have disregard for their mental and physical health. They only care about extracting money from their followers.

Work safed
