Scientology Fundamentals by L. Ron Hubbard What is Scientology? Scientology is an applied religious philosophy.

The term Scientology is taken from the Latin word scio (knowing in the fullest sense of the word) and the Greek word logos (study of). In itself the word means literally knowing how to know. Scientology is further defined as the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life. Any comparison between Scientology and the subject known as psychology is nonsense.

entertaining site about the cult mentality.

It's a joke.

I read most of Dianetics about 10 or so years ago. L Ron Hubbard was against psychology however, when you reading the "clearing" process and the fact that they want you to take all of these classes, it is basically a religion that is psycology. At least, that is what I got out of it.

There is a lot of criticism about the religion. There are claims that it is not a religion but a business since the religion encourages people to pay for classes.

I called to get information on Scientology once and I got pretty creeped out by the Scientologist on the phone. She was nice but I felt she was a little out there and I felt pressured to go to a center instead of her giving me any solid information.

I knew with the little I read and the conversation on the phone and some other information that this was not the choice for me.

Will someone please explain to me what it is?

The science of making money. A pseudo-religion set up by a money grabbing black magician/adulterer/corrupt bastard called L. Ron Hubbard.

Anybody see that episode of South Park this past season when they deal with Scientology? There was a line across the bottom of the screen whenever they talked about the beliefs of Scientology that read: This is what Scientologists actually believe. (or something like that). Basically, they believe in aliens, intergalactic space travel, but not psychology.

Yeah, that seems completely logical.

Okay I'm not even kidding - I was gonna make a joke about Scientologists...and went to find a funny picture. I typed "group of crazy monkeys" into an image search on google.........and the third result is this:





IT'S ****ING L. RON HUBBARD! The caption reads: "L Ron Hubbard auditing a tomato plant using a Scientology E-meter."

The man was insane.

The funny part about that is that the voice of the Chef quit the show because he's a scientologist and felt the show insulted religion too much after that episode.

The show's producer made a comment like "well he certainly didn't have trouble cashing cheques when it was muslims, jews, christians, or catholics being made fun of.

Been a while since I read up on Scientology, but in a nutshell;

An intergalactic battle caused a forgotten 'tribe' to hide out on earth about 4 trillion years ago. They knew they were gonna get wacked, so they hid all their knowledge in a cave, that L.Ron Hubbard found.

Today you must pay big bucks to take the classes which help you get 'clear' from all the engrams that are negative issues that attach themselve to your spirit. Each class gets these engrams off, but you need to pay up more for the next class. That's why there are 'camps' which people stay at for years trying to earn enough money to take all the classes to get 'clear' And also why all the rich celebrities have enough money to pay for these classes.

Unfortunetely too many people reached clear states and were still messed up, so they 'found' new classes that will help you get even clearer I guess.

Sad thing is that compared to Mormonism, this is fairly normal.
