Was Scientology partly responsible for the Manson Family Murders?

We all know how the Church of Scientology likes to wheel out its Celebrity recruits in an attempt to give the cult and its arcane practices an air of respectability.
Less well known, however, are the cults infamous Celebrity parishioners, which include no other than CHARLES MANSON, the lunatic who ordered his followers to murder actress Sharon Tate, entrepreneur Leno LaBianca and a number of others - and, whilst on trial, for carving a Nazi Swastika into his own forehead.
Manson was introduced to Scientology by Lanier Rayner, a cell mate at McNeil Island Penitentiary, Washington, in 1961. Manson became so obsessed with Scientology that he would speak of nothing else and, when asked by the prison service for his religion, he would reply "Scientology."
It is known that whilst serving this prison sentence, Manson took over 150 hours of Scientology training.
It has been documented that when Manson was released from prison in 1967, he had developed a philosophy of life that blended Scientology with aspects of Nietzsche. Manson was so taken by Scientology's brainwashing techniques that he bought his own e-meter.
In addition, Bruce Davis, one of Manson's gang members, had also studied Scientology (in London), before he brutally murdered Doreen Gaul and James Sharp in November 1969.
Scientology tries to distance itself from Charles Manson. However, Manson's membership of the cult was confirmed by Paulette Cooper at the Clearwater Scientology Hearings in May 1982.
These Paulette Cooper tapes are available on You Tube.

Manson was not a Scientologist. He did not even read all of dianetics. Even if he did, it doesn't make him one just as reading the Bible doesn't make you Christian. Manson dabbled in a lot of spiritual teachings, doesn't make him anything. Besides that, if you think Manson had mind control over people then you are stupid. Charles Watson killed because Charles Watson wanted to kill.

Charles Manson was the most successful and skilled of all those who studied the mind-bending techniques revealed in Hubbard's Dianetics .

he used what the scienos taught him to control his folllowers. scientology is evil

Manson studied Scientology in jail and used several of their techniques later for controlling his family but he really wasn't impressed with what the Church of Scientology was doing. One time in the summer of 1968 he asked the receptionist at the CoS in downtown Los Angeles, "What do you do after `clear'?", because Manson already claimed to be "clear". When she was unable to tell him anything he hadn't already done, he walked out. So Manson was even BEYOND Scientology, just doing his own thing.
