with loads of questions on. I asked them about what they are, they said a religion. I asked if they believed in aliens, they said no. I asked if they believe in God, they said no. I asked what they actually believe and they said it was about spirituality and self improvement. But they didn't actually say that they actually have any beliefs or faith in anything. What are they? I mean, really? This sheet had questions on it like "Do you sometimes feel like you have said things to people which may cause offence?" Surely everybody does that. Are they just looking for gullible punters, or what?

Run, dont walk, away from them.
What they are doing is trying to show that you have stress and mental problems and they will help 'cure' you of them. Once you get deeper you find out your mental problems are caused by hundreds of alien spirits inside you from another planet. They will only leave your body if you give loads of money to Scientology.

Im an ex-scientologist.
No thats actually what it is. I **** a couple of the cheaper courses. Communications and Studying. Great stuff. I use it all the time.
I guess its kindof hard to try and find people who need self-help courses and not have it look like they are looking for the gullible? But part of their courses is the fighting of peer pressure, and controlling your own life so I guess they figure they can fix the gullible. Seems to be true of all the ones I have met.
The things people post here is crap. I never saw or heard any of that **** when I was there. According to the anti-scientology sites most people just take a couple courses then quit.

Yeah they're a cult. But only for the rich & famous. If you are neither one of those, i'm surprised they tried to convert you!
(no offense, okay!) But IDK, i do not understand why intellegent people believe that bulljive. Maybe they just want to feel accepted and loved? IDK. Scientology is like, a wacky self-help that pushes the limits of ridiculous.
But L Ron Hubbard was a wack job. Dianetics is weird.
From "Dianetics: Merchants and aspects of therapy- Part one; Page 373" and i quote: "This is the way you work a case. No matter what kind of case it is, no matter what the state of its recall, no matter if the case is normal, psychotic or neurotic or what, this is the way. These are the tools.
1. Reverie, or fixed attention if you cannot get reverie.
2. Return;
3. Repeater Technique;
4. A knowledge of bouncers, holders, groupers, misdirectors, denyers;
5. A knowledge if the painful emotion engram;
6. The reduction or the erasure;
7. The flash answer
8. The valance shift
Then it gets into a bunch of hocus-pocus gobblidygoo about some nonsensical bulljive that's supposed to sound like some psychological mumbojumbo......THEN onto the more fantastical and strange, "basic-basic" and a lot of crap.
It's supposed to be some kind of theraputic psychologically introspective self-help but it's a load of crap.
Not to mention any of the other Scientology beliefs. If any one thinks all the powers of the universe and all knowledge is inside thier heads, then why don't they have an IQ of 240 or something?
RUN my good man, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! Run Away!!!

Seriously, watch the Scientology episode of South Park, the one where they think Stan is the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard. That is what they think, and you have to pay large sums of money to progress in this "religion" and they tell you a little more each time.
THEY BELIEVE ALIENS BROUGHT US HERE

Yes, they're looking for gullible punters. Did you respond by showing them your c**k?

Yeah they know what to ask, and what to say.
Its a cult. They know how to get in your head and heart.
They do believe in aliens, their just not telling you that right now, as it will frighten you away. (as if you aren't already)
