I watched this reli good documentary on a current affair (australia.) They were being followed everywhere by them... and always being heckled... and whenever someone was talking about Scientology stealing all their money or something likewise, the man would rock up and attack there credibility.. And what about the Fair game policy? Its part of the religion, yet they claim to not follow it anymore... doesn't that make them a cult?

Yes, it is about money, although it wasn't at first. It was worse.
In the begining, good ol' L Ron made up Scientology as a bet. He then found that is was a fantastic ego trip. During his life all Scientology was about knowing that he was "Source." The fact that it was a source of fertilizer doesn't seem to matter.
Now adays Scientology is about making money, dragging more people into Scientology, and telling the world there's nothing wrong with it.
Luckily for us, the majority of the population sees Scientology for what it is.

Scientology was actually started by a Satanism freak, he and a friend started it in the San Bernadino hills. Creepy huh? You can read about it in weird california- a book.

What's next~ is Steven King going to decide to create his own religion, too? When I first heard of Scientology, I thought it was a joke. Now that I know more about it, I still think its a joke! I pity the fools that are mixed up in it. (Yeah, I said that on purpose! Mr. T cracks me up!)

Yes, for the official organization it's all about money. For many other adherents it's also about defending their "faith" no matter what the harm they inflict upon it's perceived "enemies".

A cult is a group of people who have one leader. The leader has all of the power over the group. If the leader says to do something, you have to do it. If they say get a sacrifice, you have to do it. Etc. With that now known, do you think it's a cult?

Yup, it's all about money.
Unfortunately, the world would probably be better off if that was all the rest of worlds religions were all about.
