http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology
Scientology is a system of beliefs and practices created by American author L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 as an "applied religious philosophy". By 1960 Hubbard had redefined it as a "religion by its basic tenets". [1] The Church of Scientology, by far the largest organization promoting the belief system of Scientology, is sometimes referred to simply as "Scientology".

it's a load of tosh - put forward by L. Ron Hubbard in a book called Dianetics.

Hubbard was widely believed to be a total con artist, and many of the claims he has made about his own accomplishments have been pr oven as fabrication. Decorated war hero of WWII for example.

He amassed quite a fortune with his cult-like religion Scientology, and there are many well known followers. Tom Cruise most notably.

Ask me they're all a bunch of freaks.

Scientology is an Applied Philosophy researched, and created by Lafyette Ron Hubbard. The actual religion was formed after the book Dianetics was released and people were seeking places to conduct the principles in the book, Thus Scientology was formed. Now there are over 8,000,000 cytologistsStussled-wide who use the technologies in their everyday lives to improve and extend themselves.

Very much like today's De Vinci Code - It started out as a Fictional novel "Dianectics" that people at the lower end of the evolutionary scale believed to be true

His second novel "Scientology" theorizes, like any good believer in alien body abduction that the tons - or evil spirits - need to be banished from your body - hence the need for the 'Scientology' clinics (or 'religious institutions' as they seem to get away with calling themselves - this purely as a way to get around paying company tax)

You pay thousands of dollars to the Scientology organization to absolve yourself of these 'the tons' with hundreds of meaningless classes that charge you a couple hundred dollars each....this adding up to, by the end, hundreds of thousands of dollars before you are classified as OT, or 'Over Theton'

Please before you throw your money down the toilet, please I'd rather you consider giving it to me
