Why is scientology popular?

Answer 1

The Scientology religion provides answers to many questions about life and death. It encompasses an exact, precisely mapped-out path. In developing Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard discovered a technology to free the human spirit and thereby allow Man to really know himself. He thoroughly tested all procedures and recorded those that proved most workable in bringing about uniformly predictable results. These comprise standard Scientology technology.

Through application of Scientology principles and technology in an auditing session, a person is able to remove barriers and unwanted conditions and so become more himself. As a person progresses, he reaches out to help others in the ways he has been helped.

That which is real to the person is all one is asked to accept of Scientology. No beliefs are forced upon him. By training and processing, he finds out for himself the answers he is searching for in life.

Answer 2

Scientology is open to anyone who seeks spiritual betterment.

The materials that comprise the Scientology religion are readily available at Churches of Scientology and public libraries throughout the world. Churches and missions are always open to the public and anyone can come in for a tour and personally see what the Church is all about.

Scientologists come from all walks of life, and include almost every imaginable profession: teachers, businesspersons, physicians, homemakers, attorneys, engineers, nurses, construction workers, marketing and administrative professionals, secretaries, athletes, civil servants and artists of every description.

Answer 3

Because, for decades, they have specifically targeted celebrities for recruitment. L. Ron Hubbard recognized that celebrities are useful as PR tools and can be used to draw people in. because they can afford it.

Answer 4

Scientology is hardly "popular." Experts estimate that it has fewer than 50,000 members worldwide, even though the "church" would have you believe they have millions. It is losing members every year.

If you mean why are celebrities involved with it, then the answer is to progress within the "church" you are required to undergo several periods of "auditing", where you confess your deepest, darkest secrets. Then, later on when you find out about Xenu, and try to leave, the "Church" threatens to expose all of your dirt you aired out during your auditing. Oh, and add some hypnosis in there for good measure.

Answer 5

because lots of people have tested it with doing 1 course and it works i tryed it myself.

you should join you'll understand the meaning of life

----

Because it allows people with huge egos to feel special about themselves. Scientology members are told that they're special, superior human beings who are fighting an alien called Xenu in a space-Opera type universe. Yes, they actually believe this.

They also believe all those expensive courses are going to take them along the "Bridge to Total Freedom" at which point they'll get superpowers. I mean, wouldn't you join? If you'd been dropped on your head as a baby?

Answer 6

Scientology is the world's largest body of modern and cohesive knowledge about mankind and the world we live in.

Buddhism is simular in scope and completeness, but is based on centuries old Indian culture.

Scientology is based on late 1900s western culture and values. Because it was entirely created from the teachings and supervision of a single person (L. Ron Hubbard), it is more cohesive than psychology, a competing branch of philosophy that also has wide acceptance in the western world.

Scientology was designed to be highly practical and efficient, separating it from other systems that focus on esoterica or more intellectual pursuits.

Answer 8

Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is a religion that offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one's true spiritual nature and one's relationship toself, family, groups, Mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe and the Supreme Being.

Scientology addresses the spirit-not the body or mind-and believes that Man is far more than a product of his environment, or his genes.

Scientology comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these are:

Man is an immortal spiritual being.

His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.

His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.

Scientology further holds Man to be basically good, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon himself, his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.

Scientology is not a dogmatic religion in which one is asked to accept anything on faithalone. On the contrary, one discovers for oneself that the principles of Scientology are trueby applying its principles and observing or experiencing the results.

The ultimate goal of Scientology is true spiritual enlightenment and freedom.
