Scientology: What exactly is it?
Scientology: What exactly is it?
Scientology is probably one of the most successful new American faiths to have emerged in the past century. But despite its success, it is often misunderstood.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/us/believer-what-is-scientology/index.html
[The ultimate capitalistic religion. Scientology was invented to make money and one way of making money is to teach people how to be successful in life. As usual with religions things don't have to make sense as reality isn't as important as faith and ritual. Here's a look at Scientology, a truly American phenomenon.]

Re: Scientology: What exactly is it?
I watched most of Leah Remini's show with all the powers that be that had quit and it was an ugly story. I began to think when it got to starvation, beating and holding persons prisoner for years that where is the govt. outside of giving them their tax break.

Re: Scientology: What exactly is it?
That has got to be the topper, I've listened to some of those stars and most seem so normal, then you read about their practices and Thetan's and it's WTF!

Not that I believe everything that I read, but I read somewhere "You know them by the fruit that they bear"
What works, works.
