Is there anything I could learn from them? I would be interested having a look there, but everyone warns me not to go there and that they are really dangerous.

That's what they claim, and I think there might be something valid to that idea. Scientology teaches a person to go down deep inside himself and deal with feelings like guilt and resentment. The up side of this is that it can restore confidence and inspire the person to achieve more.

They believe we were put here from aliens or persons from other planets. Which basically is true. God was not living on this planet when he made it. So technically that makes him an alien.
But that is where the similarity ends. God is the supreme being and he is all wise and all knowing. He did make other persons in heaven which isn't another planet because spirit persons are not flesh and blood. They can fly and are called angels Psalms 148:2
Says they were created Job 38; tells how they cried out in happiness when the earth was created.

YES, definitely YES - if you're one of the bosses of the scientology movement that is.
for everybody else - you pays yer money and gets........ ripped off.
The whole of the scientology movement is a total scam that sould be made illegal on a world wide basis. They are just common swindlers.

It seems to teach people how to give them lots of cash. I wonder who's at the top, they must be loaded. Maybe try Buddhism or something else. Good things don't have to cost money and there are lots of religious groups that don't sue people too!

Yes you can learn from them.
They believe all gullible people can be parted from their money quite easily because they will buy any ridiculous nonsense.
They've proved this to be true by selling 'scientology', a made up nonsense, to them.

No they are a bunch of kooks. Stay away.
When Katie Holmes gave birth to Suri, Katie was not allowed to make any vocalizations. (I had two kids and there is no way NOT to vocalize your pain in some way.) There are also other weird customs that they have to follow of which I am not sure of; but of one thing I am sure-they are strange people (aliens).

From what I understand, you pretty much need to already be successful in order to pay them what they demand to join their "church". They can't teach you anything, its nothing more than a money-making operation pretending to be religion. A science fiction writer made it up to get rich, and strangely enough, it worked, and rich, ignorant people actually fall for it.
