L Ron Hubbard, books been around a long time, I have read some
I went to the ORG there in LA, down Sunset Blvd near vermont
took the Comm course it was fun..I don't know what the big deal
is about knocking it down...LRH means well ..Scientology has help
many people! I've seen it.. many people have come off drugs
and found a purpose in life in Scientology. people hate what they
don't understand...there's a reason why there's over a million
Scientoglists in world...many actors are in it ..do you think they
would waste there time on something that did not work or help
mankind? I would think not!
Knowing how to know..it's how to get better in life
BTW.. it's no cult... you can quit at anytime ....
again someone who don't understands had to call it a cult
cheers
Ed

I run into them every Friday night at the 42nd Street A-train stop, running a table they say is for "Stress Tests". I keep wanting to stop and tell the marks "You do know this is an opening for the Scientology religion, don't you?" Haven't done it yet.
Normal religions at least have the decency to say "Hey, we're here for religion X". Scientology is a whole different kind of deceptive beast.
Absolutely. That's been proven hundreds of times throughout history.Quote:

Actually, I believe inventing religions is one of the oldest professions; perhaps older than the allegedly oldest. It's a reliable way to make a living, though taking out franchises on an already established religion is easier and also lucrative.
chef, from south park, after making many episodes joking about other religions, quits over scientology episode;
"The battle began in earnest earlier this week when Isaac Hayes, another celebrity Scientologist and longtime show member — voicing the ladies' man Chef — quit the show, saying he could no longer tolerate its religious "intolerance and bigotry."
Stone and Parker didn't buy that either.
On Monday, Stone told The Associated Press, "This is 100% having to do with his faith in Scientology...He has no problem — and he's cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians."

One thing that interests me is the way they picket, harass, and sue (with no reason to sue) just to quiet people from criticizing them.
not for scientology, or against it, just curious what other people thought.
Legend has it that it was based on a bar bet between Hubbard, Isaac Asimov, Forrest J. Ackerman, Robert Bloch, and Ray Bradbury and stems from their discussion of tax shelters for new found income from their growing fame as SF authors.Quote:
