She might as well accept that, according to the teachings of Scientology, we're ALL basically "infected" with "body thetans"... that is, the disgruntled, angry spirits of ancient aliens. Here... lemme tell ya:
This is what Scientologists ACTUALLY believe (no, this is not a joke):
Xenu was an alien ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in spacecrafts resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. The alien souls continue to do this today, causing a variety of physical ill-effects in modern-day humans. L. Ron Hubbard (a science-fiction writer and the creator of Scientology) called these clustered spirits "Body Thetans," and the advanced levels in Scientology place considerable emphasis on isolating them and neutralizing their ill effects.
To rid ourselves of "Body Thetans", we have to go through "auditing" with a member of the “church” who uses an "e-meter" to measure our “reactive mind” in order to clear our mind of “engrams” (past negative experiences stored in our unconscious mind) so that we can become “clear”...... and we have to pay lots and lots and lots of money to take courses on Scientology to advance to higher “levels” in the “church”. The “church” has also taken a very hostile stance towards psychiatry and psychiatric drugs irrespective of the fact that some people require medication to remain adequately functional in everyday life and has been known to withhold prescription pharmaceuticals from member (with deadly results).
Scientology is undeniably a cult.
Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following five characteristics:
1. It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members
2. It forms an elitist totalitarian society.
3. Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma.
4. It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds & recruit people.
5. Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.
Are Cults Harmful?
To remain within the strict mental and social confines of a cult for even a short time can have the following disastrous effects:
Loss of choice and free will. Diminished intellectual ability, vocabulary and sense of humor. Reduced use of irony, abstractions and metaphors. Reduced capacity to form flexible and intimate relationships. Poor judgment. Physical deterioration. Malnutrition. Hallucinations, panic, dissociation, guilt, identity diffusion and paranoia. Neurotic, psychotic or suicidal tendencies.

Oh, and as for anyone who might tell you that Xenu or "Xeno" isn't part of Scientology, here's a link showing that Hubbard wrote about him... this is HUBBARD'S HANDWRITING: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/OTIII/

Dude
I haven't meet one Scientologist that believes in aliens. That's just propaganda. The story of Xeno is just a fable. Just like Santa Clous or the eastern bunny.
Not because you read about it, it doesn't mean that is true.

I don't know. All i know is that child is Asian and in no way white, like her alleged parents are. Oh, she has blue eyes, but photos are easily manipulated.

No new mum wants to hear that her baby looks anything other than gorgeous. Being a new mum is hard enough without all the crap she's had to put up with!
