Scientologist........?

Question

what is your goal in recruiting members? For Christians it is because they think they are helping people understand how to gain entrance into Heaven. What is the payoff when a Scientologist dies?

Answer 1

Satisfaction in this life anyway that another person has bought into one of the most ridiculous cosmologies on the planet. I think they are all in on it and laugh at us for thinking they really believe it when they get together.

Answer 2

Good question. As a Scientologist I've found I can help people around me. I understand life more. I am more comfortable with who I am and who I don't want to be. A Scientologist is someone who controls their environment for the benefit of all.

I have Stress Tested probably 2000 or more people. My goal with each was to get them to look at what was stopping them in life.

Did I want to recruit them, sure, if they were able enough and if they actually wanted to know themselves and help others.

In being a Scientologist I can now better understand how there could be a God, A Supreme Being, a Creator or some power greater than myself.

Answer 3

Well , as you probably know we address the spiritual being, which we consider IS the individual. Our viewpoint is that we are not our bodies and do not die when our bodies die.
So we know that we have lived many lifetimes in the past and will live many future lives. In otherwords....we come back.
Whether we want to be or not...we are trapped in this apparent endless cycle.
However while we do not "die" we have and do deteriorate as spiritual beings. So we are on a dwindling spiral...each time
our condition deteriorates so we are less and less able to change this situation and free ourselves.
The aim is to reverse this dwindling spiral of deterioration in one lifetime and thereby regain our native state and freedom from
the traps and lies that the physical universe contains.
To be increasing cause over rather than total effect of this universe.
So that come back in a higher state of knowledge, awareness and ability with our recall in tact, better able to help our fellows free themselves from the same trap.
We've never had this chance before to get out of the trap in one lifetime. The more of us that make it all the way this lifetime, the better the future will be for all of us.
The game is that we get to come back and continue freeing beings, or hopefully create whatever kind of life we choose . The payoff is we get some choice next time.
With Scientology technology, (knowledge) we are able to do something about it, we can be causative in life.
The more a shoulders we have against the wheel the quicker we get this job done.
The urgency right now is to get enough done fast enough to avert this planet blowing itself up...(nuclear weapons) or making itself uninhabitable..... (Climate change and nuclear weapons).
That would make the job a lot harder than it already is..... if not impossible. Right now we have a chance.
We all have a stake in this. We recruit to help our fellow man and we definitely accept his help in achieving our aims in exchange.

" A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology." L.Ron Hubbard

(excerpt from the article "The Aims of Scientology" written in 1965 by L.Ron Hubbard)

I guess religion is all about caring and saving souls ...... when you look at it simply.

Answer 4

To keep it short and to the point, Scientologists don't care that their physical body dies. They believe that who they REALLY are is an "immortal Thetan", or "immortal soul". They believe that what we REALLY are, a "Thetan", lives in many many bodies over time.

It's funny... Scientologists claim that you can be a Christian, accept Jesus as the messiah and savior, pray to God and expect to be rewarded in the afterlife for obeying the will of God in this life, but they DON'T believe that we ever really die and go to heaven.

Doesn't make sense... does it?
