Question

Answer 1

Well, According to Wikipedia....

Some central beliefs of Scientology:

A person is an immortal spiritual being (termed a thetan) who possesses a mind and a body.
Through the Scientology process of "auditing", one can free oneself of "engrams" and "implants" to reach the state of "Clear", and after that, the state of "Operating Thetan". Each state is said to represent recovering the native spiritual abilities of the individual, and to confer dramatic mental and physical benefits.
The thetan has lived through many past lives and will continue to live beyond the death of the body.
A person is basically good, but becomes "aberrated" by moments of pain and unconsciousness in his or her life.
What is true for you is what you have observed yourself. No beliefs should be forced as "true" on anyone. Thus, the tenets of Scientology are expected to be tested and seen to either be true or not by Scientology practitioners.
Psychiatry and psychology are evil and abusive. [16]
Humans retain many emotional problems caused by early stages of evolution (see Scientology History of Man).
Scientology claims to offer an exact methodology to help a person achieve awareness of his or her spiritual existence and better effectiveness in the physical world. "Exact" methods of spiritual counseling are taught and practiced which are claimed to enable this change. According to the Church, the ultimate goal is to get the soul (thetan) back to its native state of total freedom, thus gaining control over matter, energy, space, time, thoughts, form, and life. This freed state is called Operating Thetan, or OT for short.

Answer 2

Scientology is essentially a cult, a sham-religion founded by an author of bad sci-fi novels as part of a wager with a friend over whether or not he could pull it off.

They prey on people's insecurities, initially claiming to offer treatment, counselling and hidden truths that will make thier lives better, but in reality, scientology is a voracious money-pit that has ruined many people's lives, and in at least one case, killed them.

Consider everything a true scientologist tells you very carefully before believing a word of it.

Answer 3

I am not a scientologist but I feel compelled to strongly warn you against scientology.

The Church of Scientology is a vicious and dangerous cult that masquerades as a religion. Its purpose is to make money. It practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people lured into its midst to gain control over their money and their lives. Its aim is to take from them every penny that they have and can ever borrow and to also enslave them to further its wicked ends.

It was started in the 1950s by a science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard in fulfilment to his declared aim to start a religion to make money. It is an offshoot to a method of psychotherapy he concocted from various sources which he named "Dianetics". Dianetics is a form of regression therapy. It was then further expanded to appear more like a religion in order to enjoy tax benefits. He called it "Scientology".

Scientology is a confused concoction of crackpot, dangerously applied psychotherapy, oversimplified, idiotic and inapplicable rules and ideas and science-fiction drivel that is presented to its members (at the "advanced" levels) as profound spiritual truth.

Do not let yourself be sucked in!

"The only way you can control people is to lie to them."
- L. Ron Hubbard, "Off the Time Track," lecture of June 1952, excerpted in JOURNAL OF SCIENTOLOGY, issue 18-G, reprinted in TECHNICAL VOLUMES OF DIANETICS & SCIENTOLOGY, vol. 1, p. 418.

Answer 6

i visited one of their centers once. After that, they would not leave me alone. Letters, visits to my house, phone calls, quacky things that really disturbed me because first: I never gave them my address, second: I never gave them my phone number. Then two guys showed up and claimed that i needed to be "audited" for some sort of evil spirit. You decided what it is.
