Answer 1

Hi Big,

Good for posting it, but you won't get scientologists to visit that site... It's name alone is enough to send shivers done their spine.

I like posting the court trials and govt. investigations, stuff you can't get away from, or stuff in Hubbard's own handwriting or voice....But then they won't go look at that either.

I also find this site a good one, as people like video's:
http://www.xenutv.com

Thanks for letting people aware of the dangers...

And Scott to find out information on a topic I don't just go to their website, i check all the websites, pro & con and try to work out the truth. As you can see from my links above I have formed my opinion on the documented evidence. (oh and your analogy on ford's and chevies is all wrong and not applicable, critics aren't trying to sell you a different cult!!!!)

I think the site http://www.xenu.net is a brilliant site that has helped countless lives and families break & stay away from Scientology, hats off and big thanks to Andreas for hosting it all these years despite the harassment and slander...

Answer 2

For those who want to know what Scientology is actually about
and aren't interested in bogus websites with questionable
intent......

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.

How this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable estate., when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

That's what I love about this forum you get an equal opportunity to post the facts !!
Also people often ask actual intelligent questions, even tho' this is not one of those occasions.
Yahoo! Answers Rocks !

Answer 3

Its hard to say the word scientology without hearing about that site and a couple other clones of it. As such sites go that one is very well done and very well advertised. Of course its also alot like sites Ive seen about other religions. In fact, try reading that site and everyplace it says scientology try inserting Falun Gong or Kabbalah or Catholic. Then compare it to their anti sites :)

Answer 4

I've been to xenu.net, and I don't think much of it. Going to an anti-Scientology site to learn about Scientology is like going to a Ford salesman to learn about Chevy's. To find out the truth about Scientology you have to go right to the horse's mouth.

For this purpose, the Church of Scientology runs a website: http://www.whatisscientology.org which is actually just one of many websites the Church runs to educate and inform people about what Scientology is. Here is some good information from the horse's mouth (or its website as the case may be)

Scientology is about the individual man or woman. Its goal is to bring an individual to a sufficient understanding of himself and his life and free him to improve conditions in the way that he sees fit.

The Scientology religious philosophy contains a precise system of axioms, laws and techniques, exhaustively researched and documented as workable. As such, it provides the individual with the ability to dramatically improve conditions, not only in his own life but in the world around him.

In a word, Scientology works.

And this is why millions of people the world over use its principles in their daily lives, why a growing number of people find such relevance in Scientology for themselves, their families, their organizations, their nations and this entire civilization.

All Scientologists are drug-free, and spearhead effective actions in countries around the world to get others off drugs. Scientologists have helped millions of underprivileged children to dramatically improve their reading level, vocabulary and comprehension, and the record of Scientology’s fight for human rights is unparalleled.

Scientology is not authoritarian. There is no enforced belief. Rather, a maxim in Scientology is that only those things which one finds true for himself are true. In Scientology one learns to think for himself – it is a voyage of self-discovery.

Answer 5

I wish I knew everything about Scientology. I just have other things I am curious about first. You should tell people what it means in a nut-shale.

Answer 6

I've read about scientology before. It is all such nonsense, I can't believe anyone actually subscribes to that crap and shells over their money to them..
It is like a religion pyramid scheme.
