[miniccc]

Scientology is finished.

Too bad you weren't clear loser......You would not have picked that screwed up body you have now.

The practices which group members go through as they move through the levels is simply covert hypnosis applied again and again.

Hubbard was a master hypnotist.

You can listen to many old audio recordings of Hubbard applying auditing type practices upon people, which is clearly group hypnosis.

Hubbard was a lier, deceiver and manipulator.

A master con-man.

Fortunately, today the light is being shined upon scientology.

Mormons, is polygamy good or evil?

did someone say woof

Scientology in a nut 'case' would be more appropriate?!

When people stop believing in God they'll believe in almost anything.

Bingo! The science in $cientology is what an artard sci-fi writer dreamed up to get money and adored by his followers. Dontcha love it when the celebrity artistes think they're doing some real science as they hold the cans or project their bodies elsewhere, a la L Con Hubbard?

Dianetics is book & thus it also is given the absolute protection of the 1st Amendment. A book is not psychotherapy. You can write a book advocating anything, no matter how nonsensical. & I can't begin to imagine how a book is "technology." So long as no one tries to offer any kind service or counseling based on Dianetics, the quackery in that book is protected.

Scientology sort of reminds me of "Mindhead" in that Steve Martin / Eddie Murphy movie "Bowfinger"... "Kit" "K-I-T" "Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together!" "Happy principle number one: There is no giant foot tryin' to squish me!" "Happy principle number two: Even though I think 'at any moment I might ignite'... I probably won't!" :o)

Seriously though, interesting details about Scientology. I never knew what being "clear" was all about.

[TheSavedSinner]

Its more than amazing that ANYONE believes this stuff. I heard they are having legal problems in France or somewhere...perhaps this is the beginning of the end for this crazy cult and they will stop deceiving people. I pray they get saved and know Jesus.

Scientology started out a supposed psychotherapy. They got in trouble here b/c the U.S. gov't treats psychology as a medicine, a science. It presumes to regulate the practicianers of this profession. So when the California regulators of psychotherapy began to review Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard "realized" it was actually a religion. Given the 1st amendment, no one could touch him then. Thus his fraud could not easily be addressed. He actually spent several years a sea, so as to avoid answering.

[RoninTXBR549]

Actually, I think Hubbard "spent several years at sea" during his service in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Scientology came after that.

[VictorLepanto]

No. I saw a documentary about Hubbard on T.V. about a year ago. I didn't pay it to much attention, but I do remember their saying he spent the last years of his life at sea on his private ship. He did this b/c he wanted to avoid the gov't. I don't know exactly how he was in trouble w/ the gov't, but he was. I think it might have been something to do w/ a land deal in Florida. Hubbard was basically like Smith. A pathological liar who liked making up elaborate stories.

[Rustyforexman]

Dianetics is the psychotherapy you are talking about in regards to scientology starting out like that. In actual fact, Dianetics is seperate piece of 'technology' from scientology - Dianetics is still called the 'modern science of mental health' and it does not need regulation, it is just a self help book - other wise tony robbins and every other self help guru would be regulated also.

Dianetics is about the mind, Scientology is about the spirit. Thats the difference.

[highersights]

Trouble is there is absolutely nothing scientific about it. It is not based on the scientific method.

[OpenComments]

Dianetics is nothing more than an example of pseudoscience trying to legitimize itself ... Hubbard, had he indeed been a scientist, would have known that truth is not built on axioms, and facts cannot be found from some a-priori knowledge. A true science is constructed on hypotheses, which are arrived at by the virtue of observed phenomena. Scientific knowledge is gained by observation and testing, not believing from some subconscious stipulation, as Hubbard would have us believe.

BLOWING BY INSPECTION

There's a trick in this don't look at the picture look at and find the shape and mass of the BT. If you see the picture, shift your attention to the shape and mass of the BT. You don't have to see their pictures. They use pictures as a sort of misdirection. So you concentrate on masses, not pictures. The technique is, you see a picture, trace it back to the BT, i.e. Whose picture? and find the BT this way and it blows.
