Re: Any Scientologists Here?

Something else that I've noticed while reading about scientology, is that they make the same claims as other belief systems, in that they have the only truth, and the only way to be healthy, happy etc, is through the use of dianetics. This is repeated throughout all the scientology websites and books.

And its all available to you, for a fee of course.

Scientology is a very clever business, and a successful one, but that is all it is, a business. They take ideas that are available to anyone with a working brain, and charge a fee for telling you something that is readily available freely from yourself. A bit like selling bottled water from a tap. Its all about the packaging.

It is the same as other belief systems in the way that, to be a scientologist, you must give up your personal power to the group, and take on the ideas of someone else as your own, ie: the ideas of L Ron Hubbard. Just as with christianity, where you give up your self determination (power), to the ideas of those who wrote the bible. Or with mormonism, you give your power to the church, and the ideas of Joseph Smith, and his book of mormon.

I prefer to live by my own ideas, and not give my power away to a group/business/church/guru etc.
