Personally as a life long LP fan, Chester's death hit when it happend. At the time I wasn't in the best place mentally and to hear someone's work I enjoyed committed suicide was not a positive event. Through counselling and therapy I was able to work through my problems in a healthy way and I suggest anyone going through anything similar to try the same. Scientoligists are anti therapy and anti psychology. The thought that proven methods of counsellings and psychological aid could of helped Chester or anyone in a similar situation being undermined by his replacement hurts to my core. I won't go into the other allegations this fact resonates with me the most but I don't think I can be a LP fan right now, with my personal feelings.

This could be a good band, but its not LP.

Scientoligists are anti therapy and anti psychology

All cults are, really, because the therapist can see that the cult is basically an abusive partner x1000 and try to decondition the members.

"Plus, that money should be going to the church, or in this case your therapy sessions with us so you can become 'clear.' Don't you want to give us $300,000 so we can tell you your soul is an alien and Xenu is trying to eat it or enslave it or something?"

I thought Scientology was all about the therapy and working towards becoming clear.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Nah it's all a scam, it costs about $130,000 to become clear, and then another $30,000 ish to become level "OTIII," Then another $130,000 to become OTVIII which is the highest current level, just to learn that South Park's Scientology episode was actually accurate to what these people actually believe.

The Emptiness Machine, which is the song introducing her as vocalist, is her singing about how fucked up scientology is
