Scientology is one of the newest religions in the world and the target of many jokes. But what makes this religion unique and how was it founded?

The Philippines DO have a population of quite short people with dark skin and "black" features. They're called the Aeta and/or Agta. I don't know why I'm being charitable to an ass like L. Ron Hubbard, but if I heard that story from anybody else, I'd just assume they were talking about that real actual ethnic group and wouldn't automatically have reason to disbelieve them.

I live in Saint Petersburg FL, which is just south of Clearwater, in the same county. Let me tell you... Downtown Clearwater, especially near the giant scientology church, has the most unsettling, unsafe, "you cannot rest when enemies are near" vibe of any place I've ever been. There are foot bridges between parts of the building that span over the road, and driving underneath them feels like driving under a guillotine. The church owns a ton of the property and basically all of the businesses. Shits scary.

Actually their pitch was just to try and get people into a ' centre ' where they could get a free check up on their life. Although as students, a lot of people were interested in new stuff that we had not experienced as kids ... We managed to stop anyone going don that route. But I do remember seeing how enticing it could be.

Thank you. I wish I had seen this 4 months ago. I've had a romantic involvement with a "born clear", and said she had left the cult. She constantly referred glowingly to various techniques and practices of the "religion. I first expressed surprise that one of her closest, oldest friend had recently been published as having done the "Sunshine rundown" and was obviously still involved with the group, and I was a little perplexed, understanding a little of the "disconnection" thing. We ended the relationship, but what began as a concern that a vulnerable person was about to re-engage with a cult became a greater scrutiny, again with limited understanding of the subject (although I did major in linguistics, my real interest was in logic) I expressed my concerns regarding congruities between the woman's literacy practise and phonics in $cientology. and am now the subject of a vicious blog posting, my neighbours being approached and told lies, my brother being told I use drugs, the police being told that I have a gun and have brandished it recklessly. I have just spent a considerable (to me) sum on lawyers. I feel shell-shocked. These people are a blight. They have no business in a decent community.

Turns out exposure therapy only makes true phobias far worse. The only fears it will help with is rather basic things that only make you uncomfortable and pretty much everyone has an aversion too, instead of outright psychologically terrified. This is why people can train to keep it together in battle or fighting fires. It has its uses but a real phobia comes from something other than the thing you are afraid of. Talk therapy works much better than just putting people in situations that only reinforce the phobia

Yes, Hubbard was extremely prolific back in the day before his Dianetics scheme took off. He actually wasn't bad, either. Granted, due to his work flow he ended up putting out a lot of duds, but he did put out some gems (his novel Final Blackout is still pretty solid). The infamous Battlefield Earth is incredibly silly, but goddamn is it an enjoyable read. He even wrote a really good contemporary horror novel called Fear that still holds up. Yes, Hubbard was a compulsive liar, a silver-tongued drifter, and a con-artist...and for some reason, those guys turn out to be some of the best storytellers.

I gotta say that when I decided to check out the Book of Mormon the more I read it the less convinced I became of its truth claims (and I was pretty skeptical already) but it’s still somewhat fascinating to me nonetheless, now I’m curious to read Dianetics but no way am I giving a cent to Scientology for it.

I tried an e-meter in NYC at a Scientologist recruiting table. The lady told me that it measures stress or something of the sort. I was meditating a lot at the time, so I was able to quiet myself down so that the needle barely moved at all. Not to be discouraged, the lady claimed that the device was showing stress. So I asked her to try it, which she did. The needle went crazy. I laughed and said "looks like it's really working for you."

The e-meter actually is something called a “Wheatstone Bridge” for those of us in electronics. It’s a VERY sensitive ohm-meter, and does nothing more than measure electrical resistance. You can make the needle swing really easily by simply tightening or loosening your grip... which makes it fun to fuck with them once you know that!!!

I find it interesting how many Hollywood celebrities get into Scientology. I have two theories as to why, which are both probably true to some extent. Theory 1: being famous makes these people think of themselves as innately better than the masses, and a small exclusive club of supposedly enlightened individuals like Scientology plays into their ego. Theory 2: being the type of people who decide to dedicate their lives to making movies, Hollywood celebrities are all kind of dorks. This causes the sci-fi themes of Scientology to have a big appeal on them.

Lol, I remember when the Scientologists would set up a stall in the city I live in every weekend. One day I saw they were offering free sessions with the e-meter, so I sat down and held the cans. It was the dumbest thing ever. The auditor kept adjusting the dial on the machine and he seemed a bit frustrated that I was calm the whole time. I threw him a bone by mentioning that I was mentally ill and took antidepressants. He seized the moment to ask me if I would like an alternative to psychiatry, to which I responded “Nah, my treatment team are pretty good. I’m doing so much better than I was before”. I think the guy started to realise that I was intentionally wasting his time, so we ended the session and I think he was a little bit bitter that I wasn’t so easily convinced by the bullshit. I think I asked if the copy of Dianetics was free. Surprise surprise, it wasn’t. I think I laughed and left. At least other religions have the decency to hand out free materials. I got a free Qu’ran that looked pretty modern and slick from some nice Muslim dudes and all the different flavours of Christianity have offered free bibles. Putting your holy books behind a paywall smells like a big fat scam, my guy.

When I was a kid my dad temporarily got into Scientology. He took me to one meeting. I had never heard of Scientology and so thought it was a sci-fi club of sorts, as the founder was a sci-fi author. I found out I was mistaken when at the start of the meeting everyone stood up and applauded a bust of L. Ron Hubbard. And whilst there, a group of them told me that I shouldn't be reading the books I was reading and that I should really read all of the books by L. Ron Hubbard. They were very, and creepily, insistent that I stop reading whatever it was I was reading and read something like Battlefield Earth. After that meeting I said I never wanted to go back and since luckily my dad had not been in that long he dropped it a short while later.

17:30 I remember watching the South Park episode when it aired on tv (when I was a kid in high school), and reading the text flashing on the bottom of the screen " *THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE* ". I remember thinking to myself that there was no way this was a real thing, and no one would take this idea seriously. I thought it was a joke, I was both right and wrong at the same time...

That is because of what is called half-truths. It is almost a truth (fact), but it gets a spin in the end. Because of the partial truth is seems believable. This is also how most fake news works. They combine truth, assumption and preconceptions and than add a false statement.. And just like fake news before it is debunked, it already got traction. Scientology (very good name btw) has a lot of the hallmarks of an religion, but it also misses a few. The main thing that is has in common with other religions is that is provides a set or morals, rules and guidelines to live by. That is actually a good thing. It has led to civilization where instead everybody pitch in to help each other and make life easier. This way we don't all have to bake our own bread, raise cattle, work in the fields and do everything our self. Utopia shows this in a somewhat simplified fashion. Even today is you go to a town with a small community you see often a church in it's center and the houses placed around it. Later when we created trains, cars and planes we really started to explore the world. But I start to digress. What Scientology misses from religion is the supermarket of stories to draw inspiration from. We want everything to happen for a reason. So if someone gets sick at a very young age and dies, we say that God has other plans for him. That makes it somewhat easier to accept because it wasn't senseless. I'm a really down to earth guy and regular religions wont work on me, because many stories are proven to be false. So they call me an atheist, but that is wrong also. An atheist doesn't believe in anything. I believe there is an after life because the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed where most people would call this energy their soul. So, if I die, that energy has to go somewhere else. Some other religions call this religions call this reincarnation ans some think that a dejavu is a memory of a past life. And maybe the creators of the Matrix were correct and everything we do is fake.. But it is easy to make fun of every religion..

@@2Fast4Mellow The foundation of Scientology is the teachings of Hubbard who like Joseph Smith invented a religion based on a fictional story that was revealed not experienced. He found what he believed was a method to heal himself and eventually included science fiction into his story as a cause of human suffering. He planned to profit from it and thus a cult is formed. I find your comment on the law of conservation interesting since it seems you believe that souls must have existed prior to the human being born. I agree but I am a Christian that takes the words of Jesus as gospel. The disciples and the people of Jesus's time had to either believe he was the messiah or not. My connection to Jesus is that he suffered for the sake of humanity as a perfect sacrifice to allow all sin to be forgiven through faith in Jesus. Hopefully you might seek out Jesus through the Bible and realize that God is not fiction and man-made but is the eternal spirit that created your soul and wants you to find salvation in Jesus. God Bless.

@@tntstorms7969 It is very dangerous to compare religions. My father always said 'Never talk religion or politics unless you are looking for a fight'.. But you brought it up. You do know that the bible also contains some science fiction. Or do you really believe that Moses did split the sea, that Jesus turned water into wine and that Maria was a 90 year old virgin? Profiting from religion isn't limited to Scientology, both the Christian and Catholic church have raged many wars in order to get or maintain their power (and money/wealth). The disciples of Jesus weren't the only ones who either had to believe he was the Messiah or not. As a Christian you are required to believe Jesus is the Messiah. But over the centuries the Christian and Catholic churches have learn to deal with critics. I refer you how the Catholic church put Galileo under house arrest because he was determined to tell everybody that the earth was not flat and than Earth was not the center of the universe.. Real science is for more and more people their new religion. Not because they have chosen it, but because existing religions were proven untrue. Scientology is a religion/cult (there isn't that much difference between the concepts) that prays on these 'lost' souls. People want to believe into something because we want to matter. We want to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Why? Because if there is nothing after this life, all we did was a lot of work for no gain. Do you know why the Higgs-Boson particle is called the 'God' particle? Because if it is found at the super conductor at Cern, it proves that the universe was not created by God (or Allah). It is also the reason why a lot of scientists have some crises of faith before they joined the Cern team. Also if you had read my post correctly I also stated that God could not have created my soul. I only stated my the energy of my body will not disappear when I die, it will be preserved as used to other matter. In that sense I think reincarnation is more believable than a God who decides who lives and dies. Because if God exists, it also means that we have no real control over our lives. 1000 years ago the 'miracle of birth' was a mystery, but today we know everything about conception. Not just the fun part, but also the egg and sperm parts, so it is no longer a real miracle. Of course there are events that we cannot explain at this time, but it does mean that we can't in 300 or even 500 years from now. Fact is that in the last 200 years we learned more about the universe and earth than we did in the 2000 years before that. Not 200 years ago we discovered electricity. Electricity is at this point in history (it weird to talk about present day as history ;-) the most important discovery of mankind. It created of course light, provided ways to preserve sound (music), gave us radio, television and internet. Because of the internet universities were able to share ideas, debate and discourse at an incredible rate and we're going faster and faster. Back to Scientology. They are probably wrong just like many other religions. But if it helps people to live more productive and enjoyable lives, I'm not the one to say they are wrong. Julius Caesar said the same thing about Christianity and how the Romans saw Christianity isn't that much different how Scientology is judged today.. But let's assume that the Christian religion is correct. Are you sure you are part of the right denomination? You have the Catholics, Creationists, Baptists, Quakers, Protestants, Reformed, spiritual, Calvinist, Methodists, Assyrian (that is an Eastern variant, nothing to do with extreme right) or Lutheran. These are just the denominations that I know at the top of my hat.. What if the Amish are correct? I have created my own set of morals and taken rules and guidelines from many different religions..

@@2Fast4Mellow As far as corruption in religion, yes the Catholic Church went astray and then had a reformation to correct various mistakes. My point is the foundation of Christianity is belief in the Savior Jesus Christ, Gods only son. There wasn't proof of the foundation being corrupt. The Higgs Boson particle was to find what gives atomic mass, not any religious question. I believe it was expressed by a scientist as the "God D#@*" particle from frustration by my recollection. Any Christian denomination that supports the basic tenet: "Salvation through Jesus alone and that Jesus is eternally begotten by the Father" is true Christianity. Christian cults have popped up and misinterpret the Bible and add their own books, unfortunately. The Amish can be correct if their faith is in the Lord, but there is no requirement to live in the pre-industrial age as a commandment. Ironically I went to Amish acres about 2 months ago. :)

LRH very much reminds me of a few guys i met in my life. They lied about what they had accomplished, who they were, all the things that happened to them, etc. Just to raise their status in any social environment they were in. The lies were incredibly obvious, to a point where you could do nothing but shake your head. All of them had big self-esteem issues, which they tried to drown out in their absurd fantasy world they presented. They also couldn't stand not to be noticed in a group, and one upped anyone who claimed anything remotely positive about themselves. Scientology seems like one huge ego-trip to me.
