Scientology

Scientology as a religion does not have an official stance specifically regarding Jews. However, individual Scientologists may hold varied personal beliefs and attitudes, which can differ widely. The Church of Scientology emphasizes individual spiritual growth and understanding, often promoting tolerance towards different religions, including Judaism. Nonetheless, some criticisms have emerged from Jewish groups regarding the Church's practices and beliefs, but these do not reflect a unified Scientology viewpoint.

Scientology teaches that individuals, regardless of disability, are spiritual beings known as "thetans" who are capable of personal growth and improvement. The church emphasizes the potential for all individuals to overcome challenges through its practices, including auditing and training. While Scientology claims to promote self-empowerment, critics argue that its approach can be dismissive of the realities faced by people with disabilities. Overall, the church maintains a belief in the inherent worth and capability of all individuals.

No, Bernie Mac was not a Scientologist. He was known for his comedic talent and acting career, particularly in the television series "The Bernie Mac Show." Mac expressed his personal beliefs and values but did not publicly associate himself with Scientology or its practices.

Tom Cruise has been a member of the Church of Scientology since the early 1980s. He became more publicly associated with the organization in the mid-1990s, particularly after his marriage to Nicole Kidman, who later distanced herself from Scientology. Over the years, Cruise has been one of the church's most vocal and prominent advocates. His involvement has spanned over three decades.

No, Jack Black is not a Scientologist. He has publicly stated that he does not practice Scientology and has expressed skepticism about the organization. Black is known for his roles in comedy and film, and his personal beliefs do not align with those of Scientology.

Tony Robbins is not a member of Scientology. While he has been associated with various self-help and motivational practices, he has publicly stated that he does not have any affiliation with the Church of Scientology. Robbins focuses on his own methodologies and teachings, which are distinct from those of Scientology.

As of my last update, Greta Van Susteren is not publicly associated with Scientology. She has previously been reported to have ties to the organization, but there have been no recent confirmations of her involvement. For the most current information, it's best to check the latest news sources.

Psycho-Cybernetics, developed by Maxwell Maltz in the 1960s, focuses on self-image and personal development through visualization and positive thinking. While it shares some concepts with Scientology, such as the emphasis on mental conditioning and self-improvement, they are fundamentally different systems. Psycho-Cybernetics is rooted in psychology and self-help, whereas Scientology is a religious movement founded by L. Ron Hubbard with its own beliefs and practices. Thus, while there may be overlapping themes, they are not directly related.

It is difficult to provide an exact number of Scientologists worldwide as the Church of Scientology does not regularly disclose its membership statistics. Estimates suggest that there are anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 Scientologists globally. The church claims millions of members, but these numbers have been widely disputed. It is important to note that Scientology's secretive nature makes it challenging to accurately determine the true number of adherents.

The Scientology Novis Mental Ability test is based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard and is designed to assess an individual's cognitive abilities. Scoring a 165 on this test would be highly unlikely, as the test is typically scored on a different scale. The test is not standardized or widely recognized in the field of psychology or education, so it is difficult to compare scores to traditional measures of intelligence.

According to Wikipedia yes but there are few sources supporting this. Omar isn't as far as I can tell.

Auditing is not considered a science in the traditional sense. While it involves gathering and analyzing data, it also requires professional judgment, skepticism, and subjective assessments. Auditing is more commonly categorized as a specialized field within accounting and finance, focusing on ensuring the accuracy and reliability of financial information.

In Scientology we have "The Basics".

The Basics are a collection of 18 books, all written by founder of the religion L. Ron Hubbard, that cover all the principles and practices of our religion.

These books can be obtained from the publishers "Bridge Publications" (for the US) or "New Era Publications" (for Europe). The books are also sold on the Scientology website or in any Scientology Bookstore inside a Scientology Church around the globe.

Millions of Scientology books are now also available in more than 151,000 libraries in 192 countries so that a person can just walk into a library and read them for free.

The basics represent a chronological path of research and development. It is extremely important, to have a full understanding, that a person follow the correct order in studying these materials. For example, the first books introduces new words and meanings, that are not repeated in the second book. More words and meanings are added in the second book which are not repeated in the third. You get the idea. If you pick up the 8th book from the basics without an understanding of the basics, you would probably feel confused.

Suggest reads for starters:

- Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health

- Scientology: A New Slant on Life

- The Way to Happiness

Well, he played God in "Bruce Almighty" and "Evan Almighty" as God.

Typically no. Though indeed, he has recently contributed to a dramatized audio reading of the New International Version Bible called "The Bible Experience," along with Denzel Washington. Samuel L Jackson reads the parts of God.

But a lot more to it than that is he quite frequently stars in many category-shattering anti-Christian movies (Pulp Fiction, Jumper, Jungle Fever, Lakeview Terrace, etc) as to showing them as ignorant, mean-spirited Bible-thumpers, which really has some disappointment among many religious fans of Jackson, even some atheist ones.

Katie Holmes was raised in the Roman Catholic church, but reportedly embraced the Church of Scientology after she began dating Tom Cruise in 2005. However, even though she has supposedly practiced Scientology during her marriage, she reportedly filed for a divorce from Cruise because she did not want her daughter Suri raised in the church or influenced by the religion.

He is a definite NON-believer in scientology. He and his best friend, Jim Carrey have been long critics of L.Ron Hubbard's sci-fi "religion". In fact, Lisa-Marie Presley divorced Nicolas because he refused to conform to her religion, scientology.

I assume you mean "scientist" and if that is the case then it is someone who studies any field of science as a profession or hobby (on a professional level). Biologists, Chemists, Doctors, Genetisists, and Physicists are all examples of scientists.

yes because its apart of art
