Scientology

Scientology is specifically related to one's own personal wants and needs. It was founded by L. Ron Hubbard starting in 1952. Scientology is more spiritual than religious.

One lady who a higher level member said that the scientology people tried to make her have an abortion, even though she was married and didn't want an abortion. She left scientology. Trying to make you kill someone definitely classifies scientology as a cult.

Scientologists get married in much the same way as Christians do, except the minister asks the attendees to "give their agreement" to the union, they believe this makes the marriage a reality.

So no, unless the couple are nudists, the religion does not call for nudity during any part of the ceremony.

I have a bit of a long answer for you.

Scientology affects you in a big way once you understand what it is about. The benefits of learning Scientology are big immense.

Let us start with the concept of what are you? Would it affect your life to know what is life? Likely it would. I would understand that you are a life-force, a spirit. Most people would agree that life does exist separate from inanimate objects, but what life really is, that is another subject all together and is what Scientology is all about.

An example of what I am referring might better understood in another context. We all know that gravity exists. But what is it? We see the symptoms. Things fall, we are held to the ground by it. But what is it? What really is gravity? Show me a gravity particle. Knowing the symptoms of gravity are not the same as knowing really what gravity is. Scientists cannot tell us, so if someone were to ask you what gravity was you could not really tell them other than describe the obvious symptoms.

Scientology is a bit like that. You can see life, you can see people laugh, smile, and weep. But what is it that is really smiling and weeping? Obviously that thing is called life. But really, what is it?

Life is not just a pool of amino acids and proteins. If you think so, then pour some on a brick. It will not grow as life is more. But I expect you do not need to do that to know what I am getting at.

Scientology is the study of life, and the application of it.

Now, there is the theory of Scientology. But like all good theories they have to be able to be applied. That is what Scientology also is, the practical side through counselling.

So if you were to know what life was, would you not be affected by such well known knowledge? Absolutely you would be. That is the benefit of learning Scientology, being able to know what you are, what your friends are.

In life, if you do not know something you are certainly the adverse affect of it. But when you know something you are cause over it. Knowing life and being cause over it is great. Scientologists report better health, higher IQ, more zest in life. They can also help others a lot more.

If you know about life and what life was you could also bring peace and calm to your work place, politics, your family and more. All these aspects of Scientology are important and affect you. I have personally done this many times, and have used Scientology knowledge in helping people, and including at disaster sites. People are quick to tell who can help them and who cannot.

So these are the benefits of learning Scientology.

The only thing I would add would be to buy a book and read it. See if it works for you and make up your own mind.

The Internal Revenue Service grants a tax exemption to the Church of Scientology of California.

Scientology views of homosexuality are based on the writings of L. Ron Hubbard.. He classifies homosexuality as an illness. Today many in the church no longer hold this view.

Scientologists do not have a formal uniform in the way some religious groups do, but they often wear attire that reflects a polished and professional appearance, particularly during church events or ceremonies. Members may choose to wear specific clothing, such as suits or dresses, to convey respect and seriousness. Additionally, staff at Scientology organizations may wear uniforms that include insignia representing their roles within the church.

Scientology claims that there are approximately 8 million Scientologists, world-wide. However, Heber Jentzsch, President of the Church of Scientology, admitted in a TV interview that this number includes every person who has ever purchased a Scientology-related book or taken a "stress test".

Census and third-party sources have estimated the number of active Scientologists as 55,000 in the US, 1523 in Canada, 741 in Australia. Google: "scientology census data" for further information.

Andres Lopes became involved in Scientology in 2003. He is an active member of the Scientology community and gives presentations about the teachings of the religion.

No. I never knew him to date anyone. He did talk about laying in bed and resisting his sexual urges but never went into detail. From his comments he was remaining celebate. He occationally mentioned women but there was no heart in it. The Church of Scientology was and is very much against homosexuality considering it the result of wrong deeds done and a perversion of someone who is covertly hostile. They also believed that it could be cured by auditing, the church counseling technique.

In spite of all that he seemed happy working on his acting, teaching young actors and studying Scientology.

Masons do not solicit for membership but greatfully accep those who come forward that are qualified.

Scientology is a Religion founded by L Ron Hubbard. As I understand(I am not an expert on Scientology). Scientology is a self based religion the focuses on self improvement and the individual molds his own existence in the organization, There is a large empasis on the spirtual being as an actual physical part of the body as opposed to the more symbolic one found in other religions. Scientology teaches to not take everything as belief or on faith alone but to decide for yourself what you believe in.

Apparently the Scientology organization is buying/obtaining/moving into a soon (2011) to be vacated large central London Masonic centre.

unfortunately no, she hasn't. She is still a very active member of the church. She lives in Tunbrell Wells, Kent UK where the founder of Scientology L.Ron Hubbard once lived and had his International Headquaters.

Why follow a religion written by a Sci-Fi writer I don't know. Especially one that records all your deepest darkest secrets . . . if that's not starting grounds for blackmale if they attempt to leave I don't know what is.

I respect the fact she says it helped her kick bad drug habbits which is probably how they got to her.

Very complicated subject but the simple answer is: The Church of Scientology is recognized as an established 'religion' in the US and as such, their internal and administrative operations, and worship activities, are sacrosanct so long as they do not icross the line into unlawful conduct or activity. It doesn't hurt Scientology's cause that they also maintain a skilled (and highly funded) legal arm that zealously (one might even say, aggressively) protects/attacks any action they deem as a challenge or trespass on their 'rights.'

Most definitely. In Scientology, the concept of God is expressed as the Eighth Dynamic-the urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as the Supreme Being. As the Eighth Dynamic, the Scientology concept of God rests at the very apex of universal survival. As L. Ron Hubbard wrote in Science of Survival:

"No culture in the history of the world, save the thoroughly depraved and expiring ones, has failed to affirm the existence of a Supreme Being. It is an empirical observation that men without a strong and lasting faith in a Supreme Being are less capable, less ethical and less valuable to themselves and society....A man without an abiding faith is, by observation alone, more of a thing than a man."

Unlike religions with Judeo-Christian origins, the Church of Scientology has no set dogma concerning God that it imposes on its members. As with all its tenets, Scientology does not ask individuals to accept anything on faith alone. Rather, as one's level of spiritual awareness increases through participation in Scientology auditing and training, one attains his own certainty of every dynamic. Accordingly, only when the Seventh Dynamic (spiritual) is reached in its entirety will one discover and come to a full understanding of the Eighth Dynamic (infinity) and one's relationship to the Supreme Being.

No. It is an urban myth. Scientology developed from a system of self help that Hubbard introduced call Dianetics.

Yes..... Coach Petersen from Boise State is Scientologist....he studied at the Delphia in Oregon.

Scientology stresses the application and workability of its principles and techniques. When properly practiced, Scientology enables one to develop in all aspects of life, both spiritual and temporal. It addresses the individual and brings about greater happiness and self-confidence by increasing awareness and ability. It differs from other religious philosophies in that it provides the means through which a person can effectively resolve the problems and situations faced by themselves and others.

A fundamental premise of Scientology is that Man is basically good and can improve conditions in his life. However, Scientology cannot promise to do anything by itself. Only the individual can bring about their own improvement by applying the teachings of Scientology to themselves and those around them.

Scientology exploits uninteligent people with low self esteem.

They don't.
