Lets Talk About....

Scientology. What are you thoughts on it? Personally I think it is nothing but a cult bent of taking peoples money based on false hopes. The only thing that makes Scientology worse then a cult is theres no mass suicide at the end so it only gains more followers.

These two videos pretty much sum up why scientologists are so crazy.

The current Church of Scientology writes, "The word Scientology literally means 'the study of truth'. It comes from the Latin word 'scio' meaning 'knowing in the fullest sense of the word' and the Greek word 'logos' meaning 'study of'".[39]

Hubbards a spook who dreamed up a BS "religion" coughCULTcough

bunch of spooks..

get this...

In the late 1940s, pulp writer L. Ron Hubbard declared:

"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion"

The Church of Scientology is a vicious and dangerous cult that masquerades as a religion. Its purpose is to make money. It practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people lured into its midst to gain control over their money and their lives. Its aim is to take from them every penny that they have and can ever borrow and to also enslave them to further its wicked ends.

It was started in the 1950s by a science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard in fulfilment to his declared aim to start a religion to make money. It is an offshoot to a method of psychotherapy he concocted from various sources which he named "Dianetics". Dianetics is a form of regression therapy. It was then further expanded to appear more like a religion in order to enjoy tax benefits. He called it "Scientology".

Scientology is a confused concoction of crackpot, dangerously applied psychotherapy, oversimplified, idiotic and inapplicable rules and ideas and science-fiction drivel that is presented to its members (at the "advanced" levels) as profound spiritual truth.

Brainwashing Bites Back

There is no doubt at all that L. Ron Hubbard incorporated brainwashing techniques into Scientology to put people under his control. He even wrote a "brainwashing manual" which is still in existence today. However there was a cruel twist in his scheme. He fell victim of it himself. In creating his devoted slaves, the Sea Org, he created an audience that believed every word he said. Now L. Ron Hubbard had an over-active imagination plus delusions of grandeur. The negative feedback he would obtain by being part of normal society was replaced by the positive feedback from his devoted followers. Through this his imagination got the better of him and combined with his delusions of grandeur, his thinking became increasingly bizarre which, on acceptance, led on to more bizarre thinking and the idea that he and Scientology had the job of saving the entire universe He wanted to take over the world in order to further Scientology’s aims to save the universe and so branches of Scientology were set up to try to influence governments and gain positions where they could influence to world to a high degree. So what started out as a mass confidence trick backed up with brainwashing became a monstrous and insane organisation with fantastic, fanatical ideals. Because of this change, the Church of Scientology survived the death of their founder. It is like a runaway monster machine that tramples on society and peoples lives that is very difficult to stop.

Im far less worried about "Scientology" and much more afraid of those who use religion to propel some hidden, possibly political agenda- Hitler used it in propoganda, Bush uses religion when he says "God spoke to me and told me to veto this bill or take your civil liberties away" but you don't have to look far and high for examples... all churches do it.. ALL churches use religion to propel an agenda..

like this example right here:

to hate what another believes only shows that you have nothing to belief or lack faith in what you supposedly believe

[robobond]

to hate what another believes only shows that you have nothing to belief or lack faith in what you supposedly believe

so we shouldn't despise neo nazis?

also in what I think you are saying youre using the strict definition not what it actually is.

 

[Guest]

we shouldnt despize what we are but change what we are if we like it or no we are one

 

[robobond]

we shouldnt despize what we are but change what we are if we like it or no we are one

but for humanity change it must be done as a whole what do you exactly mean by we are one?

 

[Tarkus]

Ok, I am trying to follow this...but brainthor??? Can we please use a little better punctuation and/or grammar? I do not mean to rag on you or anything, but I am having a hard time understanding what you are trying to get across.

I always wondered why "god" could not make his own money?? In fact, where does god live that his rent is so high? Why would he need money??
That's right, he has to be able to give the pastor/minister/preacher that BMW, since he didn't buy it himself......con men.
