These guys are crazier! They make you pay for it to learn the origin story.

Christianity asks for 10%, Scientology asks for $360,000 and your credibility.

Doesn't the husband eat the placenta or something? That's what I heard.

Only the other people *might* worship the one true god....these guys worship some imaginary *thing* invented by the mind of a science fiction writer......

Not as weird as those guys who think that there's something special about a guy born a really long time ago, just one guy, nobody else, and nobody know what he looks like but for some reason this guy is special...what are they called, christians? Christ. No pun intended

Yeah I know, it isn't like they have profound historical evidence of him doing unexplainable shit and a prophet whose every word came true predicting him hundreds of years before.

Oh wait...

Scientology is nothing more then a Pyramid Scheme Book Club.

I believe if the "so called church" gets religious tax free status, then all of its teaching / religious books should be made available to anybody. But they are not. They don't want you to see most of the brainwashing material until you are already a member and have accepted the first levels of brainwashing. That is why they are merely just a gang of lawyers policing the internet for their leaked documents and Tom Cruse videos.

Most religions build on family in an attempt to make an individual stronger.

Scientology starts you out paying for auditing and buying CoS books. Which gets more expensive over time. L Ron Hubbard was a fantastic Scifi writer that keeps you on the edge of you seat wanting more. When you run out of money, they offer to keep you going if you move into the dorms and work for the CoS. This apperently happens to 90% of the chuch followers, unless you are rich like Tom Cruse and can afford the higher level books.. And the final book at the top of the "Scientology Pyramid Scheme", the one very very few have ever seen. You probably need to donate over a million bucks to even see it. I bet its just a book of mirrors like in the Bruce Lee movie "Circle of Iron".

Scientology separates you from your family and moves you to live in dorm rooms. If they cant use you working the silly E-meters in the CoS centers, cleaning/cooking for the dorms or working in the CoS Law offices. You are simply destined to be a pamplet pusher in a subway handing out copy of dienetics. But for most its short lived. Scientology has a 95% turnover rate every 3 to 5 years.

All of this is just my opinion.. but I've read a lot over the years and this is what I've gathered.

Where i live is one of the cross over points for the scientologists (among others)

I have always had bad relations with them because im half Jewish and for some reason (i have always assumed its because many of them are german but its just an assumption) they have a serious problem with me and mine. Especially the fully Jewish amongst my family.

I wouldnt say they are crazy, just very misguided. They feel anyone dealing with phsycology or any brain related science are evil and to some extremists should be killed.

Having said that a mate of mine is a scientologist and he is really cool so its all swings and roundabouts.

If I wrong.. please break it down for us.

How long have you been involved? How may of the books have you purchased / read? How much have you spent on auditing classes.

I went to a library for a meeting & asked to many questions so the goons appeared from the back of the room and kicked me out. I think my questions were hurting their sales pitch.
