Jerry Seinfeld: 'I Studied Scientology'

Jerry Seinfeld is arguably one of the biggest stars in the world – but it wasn't always that way.

Jerry told "Extra" at the premiere of his new flick "Bee Movie" that life in show business was a struggle.

“I’ve graduated college. I’m on the dean’s list. I had a 3.0 and the next week, I’m pushing a cart on the streets of Manhattan going ‘Hey, dollar jewelry,’” he says. "My parents were very proud.”

Jerry also revealed that he took a Scientology class several years ago.

"I just explored a lot of things when I was in my early 20s and I took a course there and I liked it and that was that," he says.

Stop teasing me. If you don’t think that Scientology can help everyone when EXACTLY applied…you are so sadly mistaken.

Looks like the votes are in. I just finished counting all my votes. Every Scientologist I’ve known has been a dude who took time to help others—whether if it was moving to another apartment, getting over a snotty boyfriend, or scoring some coke.

And everyone I’ve known—two exceptions—who went out of her/his way to criticize Scientology, or make Scientologists feel badly, was a toxic, mean, not-nice, ugly cold-blooded train-wreck of a person.

I’m goin’ with the helpers and the destroyers, thankee very much!

Scientology is not for everyone.

Because Scientology offers methods to improve the conditions that a person runs into in life, methods that work invariably each and every time if they are EXACTLY applied, those who find Scientology interesting are those who see that they could get better in some aspect of their lives, or who want to help others improve, help businesses do better, or they want to ensure that mankind actually survives awhile longer. Such people tend to be smarter than average as well.

On the other hand, one will find a small percentage who criticize the subject. So one then has to ask why would anyone criticize a subject that actually helps people. The truth is that such people generally fall into either of two categories; those who hate the idea of others getting better, or those who are too stupid to understand the written word and/or too degraded to follow directions exactly and so they failed to apply the subject as laid out, and so concluded that it didn’t work.

Like any technical subject, if one wants to know anything about Scientology, one reads the materials of the subject, not the critical remarks of people who either failed to apply it or who don’t want people to find out about it because they are afraid that people might get better.

Wow, Cliff, you make such intelligent comments about Jerry and Scientology. You are so credible. I’m sure you’ve persuaded millions that Jerry is a nutcase.

I hear from Jerry that Scientology has classes in communication, and from Tom Cruise that they have courses in grammar. You’ve obviously never tried to explore either, on any level.

That’s okay, be independent-minded. You’re doing so well already.

Yes, you can be Scientology follower because you got a full of money in your pocket.
You should learn Psychology so you will aware of what is about Scientology. I hope you do not want to be Psychiatrist patient instead of Joke Maker. Now you’re laughingstock Jerry for other but you used to be making joke at other peoples. I hope late night show peoples will amuse this news. I recommended you should watch the Bowfinger movie Jerry. It’s a bit funny. Isn’t it?
