The Church of Scientology is a vicious and dangerous cult that masquerades as a religion. Its purpose is to make money. It practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people lured into its midst to gain control over their money and their lives. Its aim is to take from them every penny that they have and can ever borrow and to also enslave them to further its wicked ends.
It was started in the 1950s by a science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard in fulfilment to his declared aim to start a religion to make money. It is an offshoot to a method of psychotherapy he concocted from various sources which he named "Dianetics". Dianetics is a form of regression therapy. It was then further expanded to appear more like a religion in order to enjoy tax benefits. He called it "Scientology".

Scientology is a confused concoction of crackpot, dangerously applied psychotherapy, oversimplified, idiotic and inapplicable rules and ideas and science-fiction drivel that is presented to its members (at the "advanced" levels) as profound spiritual truth.

I discovered their way of getting members are very similar to that of MLM.
Im not sure whether this should be posted in religion forums or MLM, but this sure is interesting Wink

I would prefer to join the Rationalists, who are a group of non-profit no religious affliation organsiation keen on exposing so called religious scams and make-up miracles.

They are expecially strong in Europe and India. In India, they go around exposing fake gurus or magicians who performed so called god miracle, but its actually all tricks....

But downside is that they are slightly against mainstream religions, especially Christianity.

hmm... indeed it is...
wads regression therapy by the way? care of elaborate more?

Regression therapy is when you are in a trance or being hypnotized, the person hypnotising you can control you subconsiously, the person will then be able to regress your memories back to the time in your previous life. This is how some people find out about their previous life. This therapy is also dangerous. The person doing it can implant or rather plant false memories in your mind.

So during those thgerapy sessions, its possible to implant thoughts about scientology in the mind. It is believed by some ex-members of scientology that these thoughts will delude you into giving scientology money.
