Scientology is a cult not a church in my opinion

Any orgnaisation which preys on the lonely, dissaffected and indoctrinates and brainwashes people into believing that their is ONLY one RIGHT way is a blight on humanity.

If our education system taught people HOW TO THINK rather than what to think, groups such as these would not get a hold. IMHO.

ANY so called church that INSISTS a percentage of earnings have to go to it, is a scam. Why haven't these people read about Hubbard? Are they that blind and need to believe so badly?

This is just the beginning. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect Us.

Ahh but the difference is that the other religions make giving money 'voluntary'. The only way to advance to higher levels in Scientology is to buy the next course.

I am a book worm and many years ago, while in my early 20s I read a couple of Hubbards' sci-fi books. I personally wasn't fussed with them, but when i was there was a biography on him in the library, it had to be read. Well, what an eye opener and what a fraud. All the truth is out there for anyone to see ... so I am amazed that supposedly "normal, intelligent and rational " people ... at least they start off that way ... get so sucked in.

I have a very open mind and I honestly believe in my beliefs which are not based on any "mainstream/organised" religion. I am a believer in intelligent life forms in the universe ... if we're it, the universe is a sad, sad place. However, it is just so bleeding obvious that he was a shyster and a fraud and please, can someone help me understand why these people are so drawn to Scientology?

Here is a book to read online, which tells you EVERYTHING about this "man".

The Bare Faced Messiah

There is wisdom in Scientology, too. Please don't "throw the baby out with the bathwater". I mean there may be problems with Scientology, but if you are prejudiced against Scientology, then you will miss out on the chance to learn certain wisdom and useful knowledge from such people - things that you might not learn anywhere else. I learnt things like that from my Scientologist friend and his family, and they were pretty nice.

They are against forced drugging! Thats a good thing! They also lead the way for human rights! Not alot of people do that thses days. They are fighting against the mercury in the vacxines! Forced vacine shots. Those are some good things to say about them. I am not of any religion.
