Church: Building for Christian worship, a whole body of Christians
Religion: Service and worship of God
Nowhere in my research did I see anything resembling God or Christianity in Scientology. Read on:
Cult: A faddish devotion (bingo!)
The media put such an emphasis on referring to displaced Katrina residents as "refugees" politically incorrect, I'm surprised this wording is still continued for Scientology-considering it's mentally unstable founder considered it a "business" to begin with. Project Megiddo explained the "Lethal Triad" of cults and how, if the components of the triad are met, the cult is deemed a danger to society. ie Scientology. Here are some facts about the founder of the cult, L. Ron Hubbard, and what the Scientologists say about him . . .
Scientologists: Hubbard was a nuclear physicist
Fact: Hubbard dropped out of college in the 2nd year after receiving F's in most courses
Scientologists: They shun psych drugs
Fact: Hubbard was found with Vistaril (psych drug) in his system when he died
Scientologists: They reject homosexuality as perversion
Fact: In 1967, Hubbard bought a small fleet of ships he called the "Sea Organization" and deemed himself "The Commodore." With that, he was attended by a large harem of teenage girls--"The Commodore's Messengers"--dressed in tight white pants that bathed and fed him" (a sexual predator in my book)
Scientologists: They reject homosexuality
Fact: Hubbard's own son was a homosexual, and died under mysterious circumstances--suicide or murder
Scientologists: Hubbard's a genius
Fact: Scientology started out as a science fiction book that was so bad he couldn't get it published, so he decided to start a religion. He was quoted as saying, "The easiest way to make a million dollars is to start your own religion."
Scientologists: They deny being a cult
Fact: In 1946, Hubbard and Jack Parsons (an associate of occultist Aleister Crowley) engaged in ritual magic including sex magic rituals called the Babalon Working; a ritual derived from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. . . . Some experts believe he based many Scientology teachings on this
Scientologists: Hubbard was a U.S. Intelligence Agent put undercover to end Parsons sex rituals
Fact: Ummm, nooo.
Bottom line: L. Ron was a fraud, mentally ill, sexual deviant, who possibly had his own son murdered. In addition, they are dangerous. Read this account from the BBC who took on Scientology:
The Church of Scientology called John Sweeney's documentary (first aired May 14, 2007) into question and produced its own documentary in which it claimed to have documented 154 violations in the BBC's and OfCom's guidelines. [192]In a small attempt to give Scientology the benefit of the doubt, I went further and found this:On May 12, 2007 Journalist John Sweeney of BBC Panorama made highly critical comments regarding Scientology and its teachings, and further reported that since beginning an extensive investigation he had been harassed, surveilled, and investigated by strangers. Sweeney wrote, "I have been shouted at, spied on, had my hotel invaded at midnight, denounced as a "bigot" by star Scientologists and chased round the streets of Los Angeles by sinister strangers. Back in Britain strangers have called on my neighbors, my mother-in-law's house and someone spied on my wedding and fled the moment he was challenged." In another passage, "He [Scientology representative Tommy Davis] harangued me for talking to […] heretics. I told him that Scientology had been spying on the BBC and that was creepy." And in another passage, "In LA, the moment our hire car left the airport we realized we were being followed by two cars. In our hotel a weird stranger spent every breakfast listening to us."[190][191]
Hmmm . . . reminds me of another cult. Heaven's Gate (Gate Leader Marshall Applewhite pictured left, and Hubbard pictured right) believed in the power of extraterrestrials as well.
Punishing myself further, I watched a video featuring the deranged poster child (Yes, Tom Cruise) promote Scientology. Watch video here. I find it interesting that Cruise, raised a Catholic and turned his back on it years ago, seems to specifically target Catholic women as a "mate," in an attempt to exert total control and give God the middle finger. "Ha! Grabbed me another one!" Like the video in which Cruise seems to have a psychotic episode right before your eyes (it's really rather disturbing), their own Web site is worse. To read it, I wonder what logical person living in reality could possibly relate to this, let alone believe in it?
In the video, Tom Cruise states, "We are the authority, we are the ONLY ones who can rehabilitate criminals." Sorry, Tommy, this makes me angry. Next sex offender I deal with that brutally rapes children, I'll send your way. You can rehabilitate them, and then have them babysit your daughter and see how much you "believe."
(Tom Cruise) (Jim Jones)
Justice Anderson of the Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia, an extremely intelligent individual, said this: " Scientology is evil; its techniques are evil; its practice is a serious threat to the community, medically, morally, and socially; and its adherents are sadly deluded and often mentally ill (I would insert Tom Cruise here) . . . It is the world's largest organization of unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous techniques which masquerade as mental therapy. . . ."
To answer your question, Mr. Cruise--No, I'm NOT on board. . . . Sue me.

Ha! If Scientology wasn't so powerful, it would almost be funny. I can picture L. Ron getting high one night and telling his friends, "I'm gonna invent me a religion and see who comes." He has to be one of the ultimate scammers. No way could he believe what he preached. It's scary, though, that people are so needy for some guiding power in their lives that they get sucked into this craziness.
"Deranged poster child" - I love it.
I have to point out that Scientology is not only anti-psych drugs, but also considers psychiatry to be a pseudo-science ("I know the history of psychiatry", said the deranged poster child), and that is having a lethal effect on some members. I recall one mother whose Scientology, schizophrenic son stabbed her to death because the cult preached him taking the drugs needed for his condition. It's becoming less a faddish cult and more outright dangerous, especially with spokespeople like DPC.
Sorry, meant to say "the cult preached against him taking the drugs..."
Back in 1995 my husband & I were in Clearwater, FL for 1 1/2 yr. My husband flew in and out of Clearwater airport every week. It's a small airport. Every week we saw members of the Church of Scientology with children. The children were always with different ethnic adults. i.e. never appeared as a natural family. We always felt something strange was going on. Just an interesting tidbit of info. Wondering if anyone else has every seen or heard anything strange involving children and that cult. They made no secret they were scientologist. Many people spoke of it. Numerous stories in St Pete Times about cult while we were there. They have a large facility there.
Cherry,
Funny,I'm a frequent visitor to Clearwater as well. The city that used to shun the scientologists are now embracing it due to the financial income it's receiving from the cult (Finances gained by duping people). It's amazing to watch them all wander around downtown with their "deer in the headlights" look.
I read an article in the St.Pete's news about allegations of the cult becoming abusive and assaulting downtown business people while attempting to recruit.
Now, I'm simply curious to see what it will take for the government to step up and shut them down....
Best,
Stacy
Have any of you checked this website out about scientology? www.theunfunnytruth.ytmnd.com I thought it interesting.
Tom Cruise thinks he has the power to rehab criminals? This crap is laughable!
I always knew it was a religion full of people who were a couple of tacos short of a Mexican platter. Stacy, after reading your post, I'm convinced these morons need to be put in a straight jacket! LOL
The video is priceless! Tom Cruise thinks he's really the mission impossible character. What a ego-maniac!!
Operation Clambake is another good site for the truth about Scientology.
That video was priceless, I agree. "You're either with us or...you're not."
Very well done. Rex Fowler, not Tom Cruise, should be appointed to head up Criminon-at least from the Colorado Correctional Institute. Hopefully, his self-inflicted brain injuries will not prevent him from realizing how he is as much a victim of this insidious cult as convicted murderer.
