Answer 1

I believe well while i see curious persons in any subject, no longer simplest Scientology. Because a few that's curious like to understand and within the identical is ready to compare what it's watching for. I see well reply to you, and that i see you learn a few Internet speaking. About extraterrestrial beings be definite that no person is praying to them... lol But bigger you realize the signifies that have this figures you spot and skim, what the deep experience or value approximately. And you'll see simplest after you recognize a bit of of fundamental. In the identical that if you're curious to understand approximately einstein why e=mc2 is feasible to look and to understand, however you ought to begin from matematical, algebra, trigonometry, differential, and so... earlier than to recognize "why" Einstein writes e=mc2. This it the extraterrestrial beings facet of einstein, the why inform that. It is feasible to understand when you begin from the starting... the identical in Hubbard philosophy (Scientology) you need to begin from the starting. Of path now i need to recommendation you that the Church of Scientology (2 persons of the church i see are answering to you) have a few crisis with the leadership that's watching extra for the cash than to distribuite the abilities of Hubbard. So I invite you to speak with a few Indipendent Scientologist of your subject (there are plenty of Indipendent persons, which might be persons that used to be leaving the church seeing that of flawed errors) earlier than to take selection or to learn on Internet a bit of extra. Do you recognize that within the Church is forbidden so that you can use the web to uncover freely what you love to uncover? PS Scientology is a faith seeing that after the firsts publications is speaking of the soul (and God).

Answer 2

People hate, there doesn't have to be a reason. There is plenty of hate sites. Is up to you to see beyond the hate.



Scientology is a religious applied philosophy.



THIS IS SCIENTOLOGY



“It is possible to know about the mind, the spirit and life”



Scientology states that man is a Spiritual being that controls a body through a mind. To represent this life force, the Greek symbol for though “Theta” was selected to avoid confusion with any prior practice.



The mind (we are not talking about the brain that is just the center of the nervous system) is a bank of mental image pictures. This bank is what the spirit uses to make decisions; it is composed of the analytical mind and the reactive mind. The analytical is clear; it doesn’t have any hidden influences and is fully accessible by the Thetan. The reactive mind is a collection of bad mental image picture that include pain, unconsciousness and command value. The reactive mind is the hidden influence that aberrates reason. The reactive mind is the cause for all human aberration, insanity or evil purpose.



Scientology’s approach to solve human aberration: Auditing.

-“Communication is the Universal Solvent.”

-“All problems of the mind are created by the mind.”

-“The mind can solve all the problems of the mind”



When dealing with the reactive mind we are dealing with the problem that individual is trying to confront that which he thinks he can’t confront so he is stuck. To solve this problem Hubbard developed Auditing. A verbal therapy that uses questions to help the individual address what is bothering him. So the person by his own volition can solve his own problems. The big difference between Auditing and Psychoanalysis is that the Psychoanalyst evaluates for the person and tells him what to think. In Auditing you just ask and listen and let the person make his own mind about things. If you give a person a fish you can feed him one time but if you teach him to fish you can feed him for a life time. That’s Scientology’s approach.



There are no suggestions involved in Auditing, all conclusion are done by you by your own intelligence. Auditors are bound the Auditor’s Code to never evaluate for the preclear (preclear is a person receiving Scientology processing). Never get in a relationship with the preclear. All information released during auditing is protected by law and not even the police can gain access to that information. Enforcing this code of conduct is the Scientology Ethics Officer and Scientology law. Any violation to the Auditors code is considered a high crime in Scientology and will result removal of any Auditing Certificates and/or expulsion from the church. I have seen this happen and am a very serious matter.



Any friend or family member can audit you for free. Or you can take the courses and get your Auditing with other students. But if you want to hire a professional auditing team of course it will cost you. An auditing team is composed of the Auditor, Ethics Officer, Quality Assurance (the person that tells the Auditor what to do), Corrections (the people that constantly train the Auditor on how to do the process) and the rest of the administration of a Church of Scientology. These are not one on one services, these are a whole team working to better you. That’s why it gets expensive but it is worth it.



How Scientology evolved?



Scientology evolved from Dianetics when it was discovered that man is a spiritual being. Scientology differs from Dianetics in that Dianetics deals with the mind and the rehabilitation of mental image pictures and Scientology deals with the rehabilitation of the human spirit.

Answer 3

Scientologists are LUNATICS. There is absolutely no logic in their "reasoning". They believe in a leader alien called Xenu that will attack Earth and kill everyone. How is this even a remotely reality-based assumption? Not only there is no way they can know an alien being is out to get us, there is absolutely no way they can know what its name is. Scientologists are brainwashers and somehow lure your mind into thinking all of it makes complete sense. Not to mention they want your money and lots of it, otherwise you can't be a Scientologist. Any "religion" that requires money to join is a cult in my eyes.

Answer 4

It is often referred to as a cult. This is because they expect you to pay to belong (unlike most other mainstream religions).



Also, It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members. It elitists totalitarian society. Its leaders are dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and have charisma. It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds and recruit people.



People have died under the care of Scientology groups. I know the link is biased, but take some time to read it. TY.

Answer 5

A religion invented by a science fiction writer..

Tenants seem to be .. if you pay enough money, you get to go along when the aliens come to collect us.....



Fiction= made up stuff... I think that says it all...

Answer 6

Pull it up on You Tube, there are some good interviews with the Kooks in charge of that cult.



It too will be suppressed by the Revolution.



Viva!

Answer 7

I am a Catholic and I don't hate them.



They are just mis-guided!



Google "operation clam bake" we don't have to lie about their beliefs, the truth is so weird, it speaks for itself.



It just goes to show you that some people will believe anything.



Peace be with you.

Answer 9

I'd post both a general overview of Scientology and my list of reasons why it's considered such a dangerous cult, but that would take up far too much space. Instead, I'll just post a link to the overview (I did write it and it is well supported) and then give you the full answer as to why the "Church" (not the beliefs or the adherents, but the "Church" itself) so abhorred by so many.

The reason why so many people dislike the "Church" of Scientology is because it's an unscrupulous criminal enterprise, an extorting scam and a manipulative, brainwashing, dangerous cult. There are multitudes of people who have suffered tragic experiences during their involvement with Scientology. Read about them here:

Here are more "bad experiences" with the cult including an illegal plot to infiltrate the government, brainwashing techniques, mind control camps, attacks on critics, and DEATHS caused by Scientology doctrine and members:



● Operation Snow White – Under this official program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, & theft of documents in government offices. This program constituted the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Among the 11 prominent Scientologists convicted of this conspiracy was Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of Scientology’s “prophet”.

● Operation Freakout - Their campaign of sabotage & intimidation against Paulette Cooper, the writer who published her research & findings on several cults, including Scientology. Scientology’s official plan: to frame Paulette for “bomb threats”, ruin her career & reputation & get her either incarcerated or locked up in psychiatric confinement.

● Fair Game - the Scientology policy detailing how the organization may confront & handle critics & perceived enemies. Here is a direct quote: "Enemies may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.” Though they claim this policy is no longer in effect, Scientology still goes to great lengths to bully all known critics, opponents, “enemies”, etc, often through malicious litigation & character assassination, even going so far as to falsely accuse them of crimes.

● Physical & psychological punishment - Scientologists who "break the rules" while members of the "Sea Org" must subject themselves to the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), which includes regimes of harsh physical punishment, forced self-confessions, social isolation, hard labor and intensive ideological indoctrination.

● Brainwashing & mind control - Scientology exerts control over its members by means of typical cult tactics, including but not limited to controlling information about internal doctrine & criticism of the organization, severely restricting social contact outside the cult (including the practice of “disconnecting” from family, friends & ex-members who question the credibility & trustworthiness of the cult & are therefore considered “suppressive persons” by Scientology), creating an “us against them” mentality by villainizing a specific out-group (for Scientology, it’s psychiatrists), & claiming all those outside the cult are dangerously unenlightened.

● Tax Fraud - One of the only reasons they enjoy "tax exempt status" on religious ground in the United States is because they bullied the IRS into a "deal" through extremely aggressive barratry (which is the offense of persistently instigating groundless lawsuits) against said government agency and its officials, and arranged to drop all 2,500 frivolous lawsuits only when an "agreement" was reached. In addition, Scientology's lawyers hired private investigators to dig up any "dirt" on IRS agents which was then used to blackmail or publicly smear all "vulnerable" agents.
