If you want the truth about $cientology ( and that's not a typo, I spell it that way because it's a business) you need first to go to
http://www.xenu.net/ and read all you can. Most of the documents and texts the official $cientology sites want you to buy are available there. If you insist on reading "Dianetics", which is utter nonsense L. Ron Hubbard simply made up with little sceintific background, get it at a used bookstore and try not to waste more than a dollar. Or check it out of the library.
Hubbard created $cientology as the result of a bar bet that he could "make a fortune inventing a religion." It has become an extremely profitable and occasionally deadly cult. If you go to one of their centers expect high pressure sales tactics disguised as "help" and if you sign up, expect to spend most of your life working for $cientology because unless you are wealthy, you will have to trade work for training that you need to move up in the levels.
Not only is $cientology science fiction pretending to be faith, it's rather bad science fiction. And if you are foolish enough to join, don't think living will be easy. They have special tactics to threaten, scare and intimidate anyone who tries to leave.

This site will tell you all about it and you will not have to purchase a book. Cults are like that. A real group will not do this. Another group that hides their information is Landmark forum. If a group is hiding their information it is a bad sign. If you want to read about other topic you can just look them up on the net right?
Here is information about Scientology
http://www.xenu.net there is a south park episode. You can learn all about it. Things that people would pay thousands of dollars to know.
No charge here. There is always information. People talk even if they cult does not publish things information gets out. It leaks out. They have everything you would want to know about it here. Other groups you want to know about are other places. If you were under hypnosis you would believe these things more easily.

Im an ex-scientologist. The "honest sport" element became into by no ability an respectable area of scientology. One branch did it and the biggest place of work crunched it. Its kindof like those baptist church homes that pop up interior the information doing a splash loopy fanatical element. yet all human beings doesnt attempt to assert that because of the fact one did it that all and sundry baptists do it. lots of the crap I see published right this is thru people who by no ability tried or or maybe met one. they only study it on the internet and save posting and including to different posts by different people who by no ability tried it or met one. The evidence that honest sport isn't in result's sparkling by analyzing lower back via the scientology questions right here :) in accordance to the anti-scientology web pages.. A) there are a number of 1000's of centers in 162 countries B) maximum folk take the 1st couple of extra low priced classes then bypass away C) such web pages fortuitously print any tale by all of us who left unhappy which seems to be a low share

Let me give you the run down, and I'm not making this up. According to L. Ron Hubbard (Who was a pedophile by the way). There was this great galactic overlord who decided to do something about the overpopulation in the Galaxy. So he had the surpluss population killed off by dumping them into the Volcano in Hawaii while we were still living in caves. He had the spirits of these people collected and brainwashed so that they wouldn't drift back into space. These spirits then took posetion of our ancestors and manifested themselves in the form of mental illness and possesion.
Fast Forward to the twentieth century. L. Ron figures all of this out and establishes scientology to help humanity free itself from possesion of these tormented alien spirits and live to their fullest potential.
In reality it's all a scam. There are several layers of secrecy involved and to gain access to each layer you have to pay for the classes and books which amount to nothing. People with no sense of direction and who feel they do not belong to a community are drawn into it because they think that they have no place else to go.

Scientology is a science fiction religion based upon the writings of science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. It could really be considered more of a fantasy than a religion.
Tenants:
- man is god
- everything is relative to one's own experience
- there is no truth
Choose Truth. Choose Jesus. Choose Life.

listen, it is a bunch of Quack! It is what I call phyco babel. They want you to thing that you can solve all your own problems with clearing the mind and reprogramming your thoughts
!If your looking for deeper things save some time and stay away from that trail. You want the real power? Its found in the NAME OF JESUS, THE SON OF GOD! Go read the book of John and see what Jesus is staliking about! He is talking about a secret message to recieve the kingdom of God now by his HOLY SPIRIT COMING INTO YOUR LIFE AND CHANGING YOU, NOT LIKE SCIETOLOGY THAT WANTS YOUR MONEY. Jesu will do it for free, right now today, just ask him into your life and go read your bible and find the secrets of the ages.

Scientology is for those who will profess it as a scientific doctrine and relate to an ever growing religion of belonging to a group of well meaning fools in love with their idea of God being the equivalent of Einsteins and Stephen Hawkings. Please think about "I Love You" from your favorite person being worth so much more than any scientific explanation of how we are meant to unify for the greater peace of mankind. They will greet you and bullshit you right in to accordance with their expectations. LookOut! for Katie's other half.

You seriously want to join some freakish cult based on a series of science fiction novels?
