The Fly
Did anyone notice after U2's performance at the Grammy's this year when the camara pointed to the audience and there was a long shot of this women who stood up to applaud the band?
I didn't know who she was at the time, but I had heard from people in other forum's that she was a high ranking member/leader of the Scientology church. A few people replied saying that "she will be after him (I'm persuming Bono) to try and convince that scientology can help out with his causes, she will need someone who appears stable, especcially after what's happening with Tom Cruise, etc".
If she was looking for her next recruits I reckon she'd target the whole band, but I doubt she'd be successful. This is why:
1/Bono, Edge and Larry is a devout Christian for many years. Although they are tolerant of other religions (ie: Jewish, islam), these are major real religions who all recognise each other's prophets, but disagree on who is the son of God, etc. Scientology is completely at odds with any of these religions. It is a cult that believes we are infected by the murdered aliens from the past.
2/In Mischka's book last year, Bono mentioned that he did not agree with self-help counselling. Although Scientology proclaims it's against psychiatry, it does practice auditing, which is a type of Freudian councelling which helps to bring the "unconcious mind conscious". This therapy has been critizised for being highly dangerous by private investigaters because suggestions can be made of a persons supposedly bad behaviour, leaving the person succeptable to manipulation. This is how they brainwash people. They also publish self-help books, which again with his motivations in life, I doubt Bono will have time to fit in auditing and dienetic tests.
3/Scientologists believe that all physical eliments are actually the result of a "damaged spirit". Now imagine this bitch trying to convince Edge that his daughter will be better practising scientology courses. He would be furious! Many scientologists have died of cancer that's been left untreated because they believed dianetics will cure them. Some have even stopped taking out medical insurance after they've joined the cult
4/Although Adam is not a Christian (I think I heard somewhere he is getting into Asian religions, but I could be wrong), I think he'd laugh off any theory about the engrams of murdered thetans that are hidden in his unconscious mind. All 4 of them would.
5/Cults target those who are vulnerable and are going through a low period in their life. Adam has been there, now he's happier than he's ever been and is about to settle down. Bono knows exactly what he's aims are in life, he's plans do not include scientology. Edge and his family are going through a traumatic time, but he's no idiot. He gets his strengh from his family, friends and CHRISTAIN faith, not some kooked up cult based on a 1930's sci-fi novel. As for Larry, out of the 4 of them, he's the last guy you'd expect to put up with any mumbo jumbo. But I really don't think any of them will have any patience of being preached to by anyone, let alone a loony witch like this women.
