What is scientology cult/religion?

I think this is how you spell it Lil.. there was a documentary on this subject and i missed it
i want to find out facts about them and what they do.. i see that all the celebrities follow this cult/religions! So it cant be bad can it?
Also I never said i would follow it because of the actor or actress..

It's nonsense, just like theistic religions. Go to Xena.net; it will answer your questions.

its a clever business which manages to convince the tax man that they actually believe we have aliens trying to control our brains

Monkey see monkey do is never a good option. Research it. I do not know exactly what it is or is not but common sense you don't just follow something because you like someone as an actor or actress.

It's a cult and an expensive one. They charge cash for all the levels you have to reach to get clear. A sci/fie writer discovered how credulous people were about the sci/fie mythologies he was writing so he decided to start his own "religion/business.' It's a sad commentary on the personality problems of many Hollywood types that they're so easily sucked in to this kind of thing. Remember, a celebrity is physically attractive, and perhaps a good actor. Brains? Judgment? Not so much.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE.

It's an evil cult created with one purpose - making money . Its effects on believers are destructive - Check out a partial list of victims: http://whatstheharm.net/scientology.html

Please read about:

* Its blatantly illegal and immoral activities, as illustrated by Operation Snow White and Operation Freakout.
* Its "fair game" policy of harassing and destroying critics, as illustrated by the stories of Keith Henson, Frank Oliver and Paulette Cooper
* Its fatal abuse of its members, including Lisa McPherson, Heribert Pfaff, Josephus Havenith, and others
* Its brutal, illegal treatment of members who the Church considers in need of rehabilitation or punishment using private prisons
* Its tax-exempt status in the United States, which was gained by blackmailing the IRS
* Its practice of breaking up families

Read "the road to Xena" for an account of a girl who escaped Scientology after 12 years! http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Library/Shelf/xenu/

The cult's core belief is that we are all reincarnated aliens, and all of our problems are because of other alien souls haunting our bodies. That's the big secret - but it's only revealed to cytologistsStaster many years and over $300,000 - so most of them have no knowledge of it. Read the alien story yourself - in Hubbard's own handwriting: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/OTIII/

Everything about Scientology is dishonest, from recruiting gullible folk using fake "personality tests", through collecting dirt on individuals using "auditing" in case they ever want to leave, to claiming everybody who criticizes them is a criminal, probably a child molester.

Most people spell it as '$Scientology' :-)

It is a cult and a religion.

(both these words can be used in different contexts and have various meanings, depending on which dictionary you check)

http://www.clambake.org/roland-intro.html gives a good definition of this dangerous cult

clambake.org is run by/for survivors and escapees from the $Scientology cult, so they can tell you everything you need to know about this nutty organization

beware of sites which are pro-$Scientology...... The $cytologists and the Mormons have something in common.... they say 'milk before meat' ... In effect this means that a believer who is trying to sucker you into the cult will NOT TELL YOU about the deeper, more ridiculous aspects of the cult, until they think you are effectively indoctrinated to hear those ideas.

to hear the truth about the real deep Celtic beliefs and practices of $Scientology (and Mormonism) you have to go to the ex-believer crowd
