"God helps those that help themselves"...is not based on any Christian belief....in fact Christian belief that we can not do anything to "Earn" salvation....Jesus died for our salvation. All we are required to do is believe...

Scientology a melding of relegion, science, and a whole big steaming, pile of crap with only one real goal: Make Miscavidge and those at the top of the scientology pyramid rich with pointless possessions and endow them with the illusion of being powerful people. AKA "Sheeple corral"
I'll stick to being a militant agnostic: I don't KNOW, but neither does anyone else.
0:50 Hold on! So when disaster strikes or nukes hit, there will STILL be the signs of scientology? Damn it!! now after we've become extinct and later or alien archeologists find that shit they'll think we ALL were part of that cult!
Did anyone else notice that Mr. Miscavidge makes a big whoops at 1:50 ? He admits there is a GOD! and he didn't call it xenu. Then Isaac Hayes says, "they want to clear us of our reactive minds", which translates into...YOU HAVE NO THOUGHTS BUT THE ONES THEY GIVE YOU!
ok,SOME of the things in Scientology can help SOMEONE,but why call it a religion or charge money for it?..all it is just an expensive HOBBY,besides to "save the world" is FREE....i am going to start my own CULT HERBology.....
@darkdreams911 - jesus did not ask for money or for anyone to hate.
the scientology does-its call disconnect from the supressive, that is anyone NOT in total agreement or has thoughts of their own that do not reflect scientology
As a christian...I take great offense that you could lump Jesus into this group. He never took money...he shared everything he had and never charged a single dollar. Moreover Jesus surrounded himself with the weak, the poor and those of low social standing. He taught love, acceptance and most importantly forgiveness!!!
@TheMesscook I would agree, but contend, the most important was love for fellow human beings, and that no man is to be ruler of another. "Love your neighbor as yourself", Jesus isn't talking about your next door neighbor, He's talking about All people. If that was Truely done, we wouldn't have war, famine, murder, etc. etc. He knew though, man, with our sinful nature would continue to pursue after our own wants, to be put on a pedistal, above all men, as unto a god himself.
@TheMesscook This is the reason every man and woman, no matter what faith they have, or don't have, knows and strives for freedom, because as Jesus said it has been written into our hearts. History proves, as far as we can go back, the underlining conflicts of our world, are exactly this, Power vs. Freedom. Jesus is the salvation, by the grace of God.
The cult of $cientology: a greedy, money-making scam, operating as a criminal racket, disguised as a cult, parading as a religion, hiding behind front groups, and made up of about 25,000 weak-minded fools with a deranged sociopath as its leader.
Watching Miscavige, the midget sociopath, talk about the cult of $cientology is scary. That cult is dangerous and exploits people. Germany really has it together. The fact that the cult is tax exempt here in the U.S. is embarrassing. Nice deal IRS!
Enjoyed the program, You do NOT have to join or be a member of the organization known as "Church Of Scientology" to be a Scientologist and benefit from it's philosophy!
SCIENTOLOGY ROBS YOU OF YOUR MONEY its a group of robbers that just want to get rich they dont give a shit about making people happy its all complete bull shit
ITS LIKE A COCKROACH HOTEL , YOU CAN GET IN BUT YOU CAN GET OUR , LOOK AT LIsa i also have never seen any handicap person a scientoligest , why is that
How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. - Luke 18:24,25
Talking about a totalitarian organization using money as the main source to infiltrate society. The US made the Huge mistake of granting a tax exempt status, a mistake the the country will pay for sooner or later.
Of coarse Germany would react that way. Hitler gained power largely by infultrating all businesses around Germany. So everywhere you went to shop or complain there was a nazi picking up the phone. So you had to be careful what you said at all times. Scientology also infultrates businesses. Germans have seen this before & this time they're not willing to wait until it's too late.
I have issues with religion and tax-exempt status, but I would not call Scientology a religion. It's a corporation, with a CEO. They should be taxed in the U.S. The IRS would revoke its tax-exempt status if it had any balls.
Yeah, let's eliminate the "reactive mind". What bullshit. Yeah, that's exactly what I want, to be an emotionless, mindless fucking drone, and just kind of drift through life. Fuck that, I LOVE the eccentricities of people, and life for that matter.
The more this thing lingers the more ignorant people will accept it as a truth. If in a thousand years we're still debating this, if scientology is able to keep every outside influence at bay or somewhat suppressed who's to say it won't become legend or myth. Look at the bible, you think it would be as strong and believed if it hadn't been discussed for so long? Whether or not its events actually happened the story still exists and that leaves more than enough for the imagination to work with
"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Matthew 14:6
The funny thing is, the main theme of Scientology seems to be that oldest lie in the book, "Ye shall be as God", which is what the serpent told Eve to get her to eat of the fruit of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Sound familiar, anyone?
"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" Gen. 3:5
if they said we will give you the courses for free and if you want to donate then please feel free; then their would not have been a problem. but what they do is charge you for the knowledge. Germany knows cults and totalitarian organisations so they acted smartly but the USA is a country ruled by lawsuits and money loving politicians who would sell their moms if it would help pay for their life styles.
John Travolta Should be put on trial for killing his son. That bastard
they have a fantasy of a perfect Utopia which is of course impossible, they need to wake the hell up. they fit all the descriptions of a CULT pure and simple.
What's the nonsense about Scientology helping a person to understand God. I worked at a Scientology mission for a year, and never once did they teach me anything about God.
a non-reactive world? to remove the active mind? THINK about it, if we can't react we can't question, and basically become slaves. if someone tells you/ do something you don't like, shouldn't you react instead of staying silent?
All those fucking actors must be getting a part of the profits this damn cult makes, that or theyre just as stupids as anyone who believes what that rich motherfucker fiction writer wrote. Lets make Star Wars a religion please hahaha.
Notice the simularities in current north korea and scientology.... watch the hour long video on north korea, its one of the only full north korean documentaries on youtube.
Scientology wants to "eradicate the reactive mind"... enough said. Even the German's can smell the sh*t coming from this one. Why? Because they have seen these tactics before.
oh time has sure changed... i mean this report framed this religion as a raising religion, able to take on the the rest of the world. if A and E did this now, that the story of Xenu got out, people would see a&e as nuts. "internet will be the demise of totalitarian cults such as scientology.
criminality according to which law? Maybe german law? Then soon Scientology might be considered criminal, so a world without criminality would be a world without Scientology, if we take german law.
But i guess they mean Scientology's own law, which considers any person, that is critical of Scientology a criminal ("WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES?")
This isn't entirely true - If you are a true "member" of a church, you are expected, although not required as in scientology, to give 10% of your income to the church.
Yeah, actually it is entirely true. Key words: "not required as in scientology". You can tithe zero indefinitely and go right on participating fully in any church I've ever been to. Nobody calls you names, nobody harasses your friends and family, and you are never declared a suppressive person (or anything else).
Lies, all lies. Freakn scientology is a hypocrite cult hiding their real agenda. Their like a serial killer showing a nice and good image to better hide their black violent side.
It has been a decade since this aired. In light of current issues, I believe Bill Kurtis and A&E should update this program and re-inform the public about the Cult and the fact that they are STILL abusing people despite all the exposure. I think it is imperative to get the EX-SCIENTOLOGIST MIKE RINDER on film now that he has blown the Cult.
It would be a pleasure to watch the media drag Tommy Davis (fresh from his CNN fiasco) out into the spotlight as well.
This show was miles ahead of the lame attempt by BBC's Panorama. Thanks for uploading.
Any religion that seeks to personally destroy those who openly question or criticize it is not a religion at all and should never even be considered as being one. Germany has got it right this time.
it's not a religion. they only implemented tax exempt status so that they can make even more money of the poor fools that pay hundreds of dollars per hour to get 'audited"
wow...all the way up the bridge...amazing well start saving your pennies you will need them....btw I have a bridge in new york I am selling for real cheap....:)
Even if David Miscavage suffers from Napoleonic Syndrome, Jon Atack is correct in saying that no-one whats to stop Scientology, but they do want to expose the lies the church hides behind.
If everyone knew the cost of finding the answers to life and the pressure the church puts on you to pay, maybe then the membership will go down.
It makes me so mad, that there are so much so stupid people... That are prone to believe "spiritual" truths. The refuse to open their eyes to this real world. Believing in healing prayer, creationism, soup cans, god and that kind of bullshit... That fucking imbesil part of population is here to stay. Only thing can do about it, is to make sure education is available. Religion cult or "official" kind, must be put on it's place out side schools and politics...
Notice they always say stuff like 'we are unique on the earth' or those types of statements? They don't say 'in the world', they talk about 'the earth' or 'planet earth'. Its obvious how they are thinking.
Miscavige sounds like daffy duck and travolta and cruise are gays who wouldn't be accepted in a mainstream religion so they had to join this group of loons.
If this is truely the answer as COS says, they would open it up to scrutiny and allow others to decide for themselves. In traditional religions it is called free agency
Any "religion" that you have to pay your way into salvation is not a religion. In fact by the very definition of religion they miss the mark. I wonder who they paid off to get the tax free status? We are much to soft here in the US against these kind of groups and then wonder what happened when they drink the cool aid
A religion created by a drug-addled sci-fi writer who at best, created B-level stories and decided it was easier to make his own religion to make money than work for it.
Thank you for posting this program. It was very infromative. I wonder if this show will be reaired on A&E, beacause of new out about Tom Criuse and Scientology?
Isaac hayes aka "The Chef" from south park needs to wake up! They use to call him black moses back in the 70's when he was into music. So he should know better. LOL! I agree with brick4sale. Its a self centered cult X'ing out God completely. I pray for them. Bless the name of the most high Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!
To the woman at 2:11, there is nothing in the constitution that grants freedom of religion. What it grants is that there will be no state church. If we had freedom of religion, then we couldn't make laws against polygamy, child marriage, or animal sacrifice.
Scientology is as Ron Hubbard put it is a form of Satanism... I like LaVey's pt of view if you are practicing it well call yourselves satanists. It's just sugarcoating it...
What are you people talking about Religion is the biggest cult and lie in world history. People are talking about how much money these people are getting, but what about the money that churches ask from you every Sunday when you go to church. Scientology, Christianity and anything dealing with a religion is BULL SHIT! I say that because it's all about brain washing and controlling your mind and conforming to the masses (YOU FUCKING SHEEP)!
I think celebs are attracted to it, because they are very self centered and Scientology puts a big emphasis on what you the individual can accomplish through years, and thousands of dollars.
wht the fuck is john travolta talking about 11 all religions preach to help others!! dumbass...and to call retard hubbards wrtings scriptures....give me a fucking break!!! SCIENTOLOGIST ARE FUCKING DUMB ASS NITWITS
I wonder what CoS thought of this documentary? It seemed to give fair time to both sides, but it paints a pretty obvious picture to me. Travolta is a nitwit who speaks about as well as he acts, Rinder is a liar but was strangely a bit less mechanical here than in some of his more recent appearances, and Miscavige... well, frankly I think his mediocrity speaks for itself.
What scientologists are doing is nothing truly new. The dogma and science fiction attached to it, as well as the cult-like processing is what makes it unique. I would not be suprised if you took any scientologist out of that "religion" and put them into pyschotherapy or hypnotherapy, they would find similar results. It amazes me that people do not question this? That knowing your leader was a criminal and liar would not make you question what you are following?
Scientology is a disturbing and scary combination of mob, cult, and business scam on a global scale. Preaching love while spitting out rage and backlash to any dissention only further proves the hypocracy and the lie that it is. What concerns me most is that the goverment hasn't gone into a full investigation of this cult and their illegal activities and crimes. I cannot believe we recognize them as a religion. What is the world coming to?
most of the world doesn't but i guess the american govt sees no problem!! and wht sht was the head of the cult saying...if our looking to incorporate religion and science scientology is the key..from what i'e learned islam did tht n i agree w/ it not doing anything new...
They want to "clear the world of the reactive mind". They are literally saying they want to brainwash the natural thought process out of the human brain. If you are being attacked by a bear, the reactive mind tells you to run away. I guess a scientologist will just lay there and get attacked by the bear.
parasites. but really, im actually kinda freaked out about those people, i mean, they are acting like a organization watching us, and prisoning their members. ya gotta admit its pretty scary what they do to people.
Hmm, I wonder, do celebrities get special treatment in Scientology? Tom Cruise doing the compulsory manual labour does seem likely.... The real heartbreaker though, was the "only wanting to help as many people as possible, to make a better world"-I felt the tears come to my eyes. Indeed, for a mere few million $, you too can reach spiritual enlightenment. And there's no irony in the fact that their own bizarre behaviour just reinforces the fact that mental health problems are as real as ever.
half of you posting comments dont even know what scientology is. And if you think you know, by looking up websites critical of it and calling it a 'cult' - well your not very intelligent then, and are only critical cause it makes you feel better. Go into a church and find out for yourself. If you agree with it...good...if you dont...its not for you - and leave scientologists alone.
You ask us to not believe the critics of $cientology, be they ex members, reputable reporters, University lecturers etc. Istead you wish us to believe L Ron Hubbard, a liar, wife beater, sci fi novelist and criminal on the run, or are we to believe the nasty little crew of the CoS who perpetuate his lies. Wake up boy and look outside of the cult for your answers.
If you go in and then try to leave, they follow you to your car and don't let you leave. There's documented video of it happening right here on you tube. That's what these whackos want people, just like this guy, they want you to 'just go in'. FOR YOUR SAFETY, NEVER ENTER A SCIENTOLOGY BUILDING. Cult F***S.
It is some kind of serious statement about the contemporary United States and the cultural confluence of celebrity, materialism, money, religiosity and (at least superficially) individual freedom, and the values attached thereto, that has allowed this puerile and vacuous doctrine ($cientology) to continue its outlandish, sometimes criminal activities. People in other parts of the world do not suffer these fools and con-men so lightly .
You cannot have a world without criminality. $cientology is itself a criminal organization. And a "religion" where science and religion meet? My ass! Its principles are very unscientific. They make a mockery of actual science.
yes...he is....we wrote a song about how scientology is the ultimate cover for tyhe closeted gay man....because to be a scientologist means one cannot be gay....it is against their tenents.....so gay dudes go to scientology to prove to the world they are not gay by virtue that they would never have been able to become or rise in the ranks of scientology
world without insanity? you cannot have sanity without insanity. the only truth in this perfect world is that there is balance, yin and yang. you cannot extinguish human nature (hate, jealously, greed, etc.) by becoming an emotionless android or by teaching your mind to only feel certain emotions, it goes against our biology. psychology has invested some of the best minds of our species into these subjects and this group of elitists comes along challenging them? cmon now
I can't belive Isaac Hayes said basically "People don't wanna look at a new & better way of doing things." So basically he just said his religion is better than others and along with thier practices... Isaac Hayes is a South Park ditching pussy
It is quite interesting to note that in this show, Scientology cooperated with the Media. They have a tendacy not to, so that begs the question, what makes A&E so special?
when they say they want to clear the planet for everyone, that also means 2.5% of the worlds population(about 160 million people)will be cleared as suppressive persons and treated as second rate citizens or destroyed. not making this up. google scientology, you will see many websites against this cult.
It MUST be all about trick editing because all those scientologists just look creepy to me. They even manage to creep me out with their internet postings, how do they do that?
Discover what Evil a Cult this is, Murderers, Liars, kidnappers, brainwasher's and thieves they are. the truth is out there (but you wont get it from any Scientologist) Here are just a few to get you started.

oh time has sure changed... i mean this report framed this religion as a raising religion, able to take on the the rest of the world. if A and E did this now, that the story of Xenu got out, people would see a&e as nuts. "internet will be the demise of totalitarian cults such as scientology.

A world without war,
a world without criminality,
a world without insanity
"criminality" and "insanity" are relative terms.
criminality according to which law? Maybe german law? Then soon Scientology might be considered criminal, so a world without criminality would be a world without Scientology, if we take german law.
But i guess they mean Scientology's own law, which considers any person, that is critical of Scientology a criminal ("WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES?")
A world without SPs.

yes but christianity doesnt ask ppl to pay for "courses" to make them a better person..the preachers give advice and help for free :-)

This isn't entirely true - If you are a true "member" of a church, you are expected, although not required as in scientology, to give 10% of your income to the church.
smccuan 3 years ago
Yeah, actually it is entirely true. Key words: "not required as in scientology". You can tithe zero indefinitely and go right on participating fully in any church I've ever been to. Nobody calls you names, nobody harasses your friends and family, and you are never declared a suppressive person (or anything else).
Ever.

It has been a decade since this aired. In light of current issues, I believe Bill Kurtis and A&E should update this program and re-inform the public about the Cult and the fact that they are STILL abusing people despite all the exposure. I think it is imperative to get the EX-SCIENTOLOGIST MIKE RINDER on film now that he has blown the Cult.
It would be a pleasure to watch the media drag Tommy Davis (fresh from his CNN fiasco) out into the spotlight as well.
Thnx for hosting this DDD.

Even if David Miscavage suffers from Napoleonic Syndrome, Jon Atack is correct in saying that no-one whats to stop Scientology, but they do want to expose the lies the church hides behind.
If everyone knew the cost of finding the answers to life and the pressure the church puts on you to pay, maybe then the membership will go down.

I wonder what CoS thought of this documentary? It seemed to give fair time to both sides, but it paints a pretty obvious picture to me.

kreskinkun 4 years ago
What scientologists are doing is nothing truly new. The dogma and science fiction attached to it, as well as the cult-like processing is what makes it unique. I would not be suprised if you took any scientologist out of that "religion" and put them into pyschotherapy or hypnotherapy, they would find similar results. It amazes me that people do not question this? That knowing your leader was a criminal and liar would not make you question what you are following?

Scientology is a disturbing and scary combination of mob, cult, and business scam on a global scale. Preaching love while spitting out rage and backlash to any dissention only further proves the hypocracy and the lie that it is.

What is the world coming to?

They want to "clear the world of the reactive mind". They are literally saying they want to brainwash the natural thought process out of the human brain. If you are being attacked by a bear, the reactive mind tells you to run away. I guess a scientologist will just lay there and get attacked by the bear.

Hmm, I wonder, do celebrities get special treatment in Scientology? Tom Cruise doing the compulsory manual labour does seem likely.... The real heartbreaker though, was the "only wanting to help as many people as possible, to make a better world"-I felt the tears come to my eyes. Indeed, for a mere few million $, you too can reach spiritual enlightenment. And there's no irony in the fact that their own bizarre behaviour just reinforces the fact that mental health problems are as real as ever.

half of you posting comments dont even know what scientology is.

Go into a church and find out for yourself. If you agree with it...good...if you dont...its not for you - and leave scientologists alone.

You ask us to not believe the critics of $cientology, be they ex members, reputable reporters, University lecturers etc. Istead you wish us to believe L Ron Hubbard, a liar, wife beater, sci fi novelist and criminal on the run, or are we to believe the nasty little crew of the CoS who perpetuate his lies. Wake up boy and look outside of the cult for your answers.
