What is Dianetics?

Hello little Mr. David Miscavige, We are Anonymous -

I would like to bring to light a crucial misunderstanding that has allowed Scientology's higher ranks to exploit its followers and society in general. On the cover of Scientology's most commonly referenced literature, "Dianetics: The modern science of mental health" one must not look past the cover of the book to see that Scientology is in fact not claiming to be religion, but instead it is claiming to be "science".

The fact that this book and many other LRH novels and Scientology's medical practices have been scientifically laughable and are notorious for their lack of empirical or properly cited evidence to substantiate their almost entirely self serving claims. You too, certainly must be aware that as a "science" you must welcome criticism. Your claim's ability to weather reasonable questioning would sufficiently galvanize your cult/science from further inquiry. Instead of opening access to your doctrine and evidence of your possession of supposed religious technology, you harass and intimidate your critics.

"Always attack never defend" A quote repeated through numerous LRH essays and lectures, is a totalitarian practice not at all in line with an organization parading around in the disguise of science. It is not disputed that a claim's ability to persevere beyond reasonable criticism permits it to be accepted as science.

The fact that Scientology famously plays the religion card in the face of any and all criticism or questioning, no matter how appropriate or benign: would lead anyone capable of critical thinking to believe that Scientology is anything but science.

A religion is described by Mirriam Webster as "the service and worship of God or the supernatural."

And according to the same source, a science is "knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method"

Surely you can see how an organization could not claim to be two opposing ideologies simultaneously.

It would seem the million year war for earth has only just begun, all hail our galactic overlord Xenu. We are not fair game, we are anonymous.

We do not forgive, we do not forget, expect us.

Interesting point re: science. If Dianetics is to be a science, it can only stand up as a hypothesis if tested under conditions which can be re-created by anyone, anywhere else under the same conditions, and achieve the same results. Said hypothesis would also lead to other questions, as everything is science does, rather than a stonewall of SP declares and Fair Game. No science. No religion. Pure b/s.

Bringing Logic to Scientology's door is like telling Vikings that there's no Vahalla.

Q: What is dianetics?

A: Fucking retarded

[RainbowManification]

How fucking retarded would you have to be to believe the crazy shit. So some guy named Zenu dropped aliens into Earth's volcanos and vaporized them with H-Bombs these vaporized alien spirits are called Thetans or something, and then invade your body causing mental and physical illness and cause you to believe in Christianity and psychiatry, then you get rid of thetans each time you piss, crap, or vomit. Also this Bridge of Freedom is getting rid of thetans permanently.

@metalfeliac... Interesting post. Here's the quote "If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace.". Nothing to do with engrams.

If you aren't a scientologist, then you are poorly informed.

Scientology has nothing to do with science, Ron Hubbard was just smart to use a word people consider to have somethings to do with real science. L. Ron Hubbard was a vey smart science fiction writer. Ron did also knew a lot about hypnosis and manipulation. Hypnosis and manipulation leads to brainwashing. BRAINWASHING = hypnosis (manipulation of the unconscious and conscious mind) + intimidation + “caring” ↔ MANIPULATION.
