Scientology fizzle?

Question

How long do you think it will take for scientology to fizzle out and be recognized as the joke that it is?

Answer 1

Probably just as soon as enough people are aware of how dangerous it is and what a scam it's always been. That's why I ALWAYS post the frightening truth about Scientology so that people will stay as far away as possible from that manipulative, brainwashing, bullying cult:

There are a number of people who have suffered very bad experiences during their involvement with Scientology. Read about them here:

Here are more "bad experiences" with the cult including an illegal plot to infiltrate the government, brainwashing techniques, mind control camps, attacks on critics, and DEATHS caused by Scientology doctrine and members:

● Operation Snow White – Under this official program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, & theft of documents in government offices. This program constituted the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Among the 11 prominent Scientologists convicted of this conspiracy was Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of Scientology’s “prophet”.

● Operation Freakout - Their campaign of sabotage & violence against Paulette Cooper, the writer who published her research & findings on several cults, including Scientology. Scientology’s official plan: to frame Paulette, ruin her career & reputation & get her either incarcerated or locked up in psychiatric confinement.

Her book: http://holysmoke.org/cos/books/scandal-of-scientology-cooper.pdf

● Fair Game - the Scientology policy detailing how the organization may confront & handle critics & perceived enemies. Here is a direct quote: "Enemies may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”

● Physical & psychological punishment: Scientologists who "break the rules" while members of the "Sea Org" must subject themselves to the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), which includes regimes of harsh physical punishment, forced self-confessions, social isolation, hard labor and intensive ideological indoctrination.

● Brainwashing & mind control: Scientology exerts control over its members by means of typical cult tactics, including but not limited to controlling information about internal doctrine & criticism of the organization, severely restricting social contact outside the cult (including the practice of “disconnecting” with any family who question the credibility & trustworthiness of the cult), creating an “us against them” mentality by villainizing a specific out-group (for Scientology, it’s psychiatrists), & claiming all those outside the cult are unenlightened.

● Violent Kidnapping - Lisa McPherson was a Scientologist, was involved in a car accident & resultantly became mentally unstable. She was kidnapped from the hospital by agents of Scientology, held against her will, refused proper psychiatric treatment & allowed to STARVE TO DEATH.

● Tragic Murder - A CBS “48 Hours” special on Jeremy Perkins, the mentally disturbed son of Scientologist parents who, because of the Scientology doctrine of opposing psychiatry, refused to put him on the anti-psychotic drugs that would have stabilized him & prevented him from killing his own mother.

Answer 2

It is a joke I agree. Many countries around the world have seen it for what it really is and banned it. But there is way too much money behind this badly written science fiction for it to fizzle out. It takes much effort to reprogram the brainwashed, and there are many brainwashed morons that believe in scientology. Hopefully one day they will wake up out of their trance and get a check on reality and join a real religion.

Answer 3

As long as Tom Cruise is their acting "messiah," I don't think it's going anywhere. But let him make a few more crappy movies, and maybe that'll change. But on a more serious note, Scientology disturbs me. I recognize that people are free to believe whatever they choose, and should not face persecution because of it, but nonetheless, the information I've read and the videos I've seen have done nothing to assuage my disturbance.

Answer 4

Gee, I don't know.

Why don't you just sit on your golden lawn chair there and watch us and find out.

It is a shame that you thought to be just plain mean and nasty.

Is it a joke? Like many other people of many other religions, Scientologists seek to make the place a little bit better. If that's a joke to you, well so be it.

Why don't you just leave us alone and stop trolling for hatred. It very unbecoming on anyone.

Answer 5

A sect using a fascist pseudo-scientific business model able to silence the opposition and manipulate and co-opt the media is, I'm afraid, very hard to neutralize. But I have comfidence that in the long run, it will be marginalized.

The only problem is: how many victims will it make before it can be recognized universally as a criminal organization?
.

Answer 6

Well since it has continued to expand and grow over the past 50 or so years since it was founded and is now established and expanding in over 160 countries world wide...... I'd say the odds are that is will continue to grow
as more people find it works for them , as an effecive and very workable religion.

Go troll somewhere else for a change!

Answer 7

Oh, I'd give it a few more years. Perhaps when Tom Cruise and John Travolta get over their delusion, others will follow suit and realize that Scientology is a religion MADE UP by a FICTION writer.

Answer 8

For me, it has already fizzled. It started weak and tapered off.

Answer 9

What you say would be more meaningful if you actually had personal experience. Try thinking for yourself instead of just repeating what you've heard.

Answer 10

It is too well grounded now.........Ol Ron Hubbard planted too many ideas with his books and before he died he put the "Top Gun" out there to spread his pearly words of wisdom.

Answer 11

Just as soon as we can get the nukes to detonate around the rim of a volcano and create another race of Humans.
