Whats up with Scientology ?

Answer 1

It was created by a fiction author. Makes ya think, well, maybe not judging by the number of scientologists out there. Its an honest system at least, they are opening about it costing large amounts of money to advance. Other churches hide that bit.

Answer 2

First I want to clarify that the story of Xeno is just a fable and no Scientologist believe it to be true. In fact most Scientologist I have meet haven't even heard the story. Scientology is much like Buddhism but instead of meditation they use auditing with the same goal and faster results. Scientology is the most attacked religion there is. Why? Because it works. Scientologist are some of the able people in this planet. like Leah Remini, Jenna Elfman, John Travolta, ect. Scientologist are kind, gentle and good communicators (except Tom Cruise but he is learning). Now we live in a culture that is run on the absurd believe that there is no soul and that people are dangerous and need to be medicated to be controlled. Not long ago the practices of electro shock and lobotonies were common practice to control people. The biggest difference between Psychiatry and Scientology, is that Psychiatry believes that man need to be controlled to be made good and Scientologist believe that man needs to be liberated (restore the power of choice) to be made good. These are two opposite points of view. Now if Scientologist win, the drug companies and the Psychiatryst are going bankrupt so they are investing a lot of money in propaganda to make people believe that Scientology is bad. All that proganda is compose of lies and exagerations. But Scientology is still here. Why? Because it works. And you can't argue with results. Hundred of thousands of people attest that Scientology works. And you only hear of a handfull of complains (big deal). If Scientology didn't work it would had disapeared long time ago, but it is here and growing despite all lies in the media. And that my friend is amazing.

Answer 3

It's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, was a second-rate science-fiction author who also had some wacky ideas about "oneness" with the universe and how to mix science and religion. He wrote the book "Dyanetics" which outlined his ideas about the proper way to live a religious life in the scientific age. It caught on with the fringe element, gathered a following, and went from there. Though long since dead, Hubbard is revered as a new-age prophet by his followers, and they claim that his book is a guide to living a happy, propserous life. But it's really out there -- they have some very weird and wacky ideas. They're certainly not christians (which I don't hold against them, many christian ideas are just as wacky). That they got some celebrity followers has boosted awareness, and even more nutcases have signed on. It's a cult, pure and simple.
