Dianetics?

Anyone else ever heard of this section of Scientology? I learned about it last week, sounds pretty interesting i was just wondering if anyone has heard of it or tried it. If u have tried it does it work? I kno its a lot of work and im willin to try if it works.

thanks

 

Scientology is basically a cult, so if you have any desire to lead a normal, free-thinking lifestyle, I'd suggest you not concern yourself with it.

 

yea i kinda got the idea it was a cult but id figured id ask

 

Yeah I've heard of Dianetics. One of my friends decided to take their little "test" for a school project on religion and guess what it revealed? That she needed Scientology in her life! haha yeah. I live in the Scientology capitol of the world (Clearwater, FL) and they basically own everything. It's really weird. If you drive through downtown you see all of them walking down the street, exercising, or getting on their private buses. The houses they live in fall short of boot camps. They all have to wear the same clothing, are not allowed to own automobiles, and are not allowed to leave their compounds unless they want to be cut by the razor-wire or electricuted by the fence.

hmmmmm...cult indeed.

I heard Clearwater has a sight where people claim to see the Virgin Mary on a large glass pane of a building. The pattern actually formed from minerals in the water from a sprinkler system. There's more of the same patterns on the back of the building, but the owners are working hard to wash them off the glass so that people won't know it's a natural phenomenon.

 

Actually that was destroyed a couple months ago by a frustrated kid. That image had to have been the biggest joke of religious propoganda I had ever seen. You're right though, the patterns around the building were caused by the impurities of the reclaimed water in their sprinkler systems, but I doubt the image itself was created by sprinklers. As high up on the window as the image was, someone had to have gotten up there on a ladder to spray it.

There's still a shrine in front of the building and people still flock from across the country to worship it. You should have heard the outrage of the Christian community when the kid broke the window. He's 16 and they wanted to send him to jail for 5 years for hate crimes. It turns out though that it had nothing to do with hatred for Christianity. Apparently he had just had a fight with his step-parents late at night and stormed out of the house. He was pissed off so he just threw some ball-bearings at the window. Instead of the 5 years (which is quite an irony coming from a so-called Christian community), he was forced to pay for the replacement of the window (about $1000), and he has to attend anger-management counseling. And of course the Christians are still bitching about how they got shafted by the secular system or some crap.

Well then, I guess they shouldn't have washed off all the patterns on the other side of the building.

 

Feel free to crucify me once I say this but....

I always thought dianetics was another way of saying anal sex.
So is it?

 

My friend went to a scientology school and he wanted out after a while but he'd basicly signed himself tehre for life. Im not sure how he got out but he did.

 

I took a Dianetics course about 15 years ago, and it taught me some valuable things. There are lots of good people in Scientology, and much information that is useful. It is not for me, though. My instructor drove me to quit by denying my constant requests to work ahead, since I was always sitting there idly, with my stuff done. He pissed me off, and I told them that was my reason for leaving.
I did have one other reason, though. After class one day, I casually mentioned that I was about to receive the proceeds from selling a house, ($16 000).
In an assessment a couple of days later, where they determine what you need to focus on, and what the best way to do it is....my result came back as a pkg. of classes that totalled $16 000. My conspiracy theorist heart said it was no coincidence.

 

Dianetics is the title of the book written by L Ron Hubbard from which the scentology movement commenced.

Without a doubt the book is worth reading for any aspirant of the path to inner knowledge and understanding. Except for the last few chapters which maintain that the only way to be "clear" (no hangups) is to be treated by someone who is already clear, and they (clears") can only be found in scientology (my oh my!! who would have guessed???).
Read the book by all means.
Find the facts before you act http://www.xenu.net/

 

And make sure you know all about Xenu too!

 

The book "Dyanetics' by L. Ron Hubbard gives an excellent basis upon which you could learn to understand the principles upon which psychological development depends, which can then be used to overcome inherited psychological traits that cause continuing life disturbances. I would whole-heartedly recommend that you read the entire book ~ except the last few chapters in which scientology sneaks in claiming to be the only way to ensure success, which is as much as load of rubbish as any religions salvation claim.
Take the knowledge from the book and apply it yourself. Never risk some clown from any religion telling you that only they "know what's right" ~ they're no different from loan-sharks and shonky used car salesmen.
Great book for an easy head start in understanding psychology.

 

Dianetics is brilliant. Anyone who wants to better themselves or those around them needs to buy the book. It's amazing and offers actual results founded by research. Anyone who says it's phony or brainswashing is a liar or is ignorant. Please, go to your nearest Church of Scientology and buy the book. It will help you. Scientology can and will help you. It is not a cult. Please go to www.scientology.com and read through the FAQ. Scientology doesn't brainwash anyone. It actually frees oneself spiritually and allows tyhem to make excellent decisions. The only thing I gottsa part on with Scientology is it's anti drugs movement. The hell to that man.

 

The people over at the Tom Cruise message board sure aren't very friendly. I tried to have an open and honest conversation about scientology over there and they shunned me and my friends. I questioned them on why Cruise says drugs are evil and they were so rude.

 

Scientologists believe drugs aren't "evil" but that they can cause massive damage to the spirit and an cause "engrams" to be formed in the mind. You'd have to read the Dianetics book to find out what an engram is.

 

It's because you are a sp (suppressive person), which is what anyone who questions scientology is (according to scientology):

- L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 18 October 1967
[SP = Suppressive Person a.k.a. critic of Scientology]

- L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 1 March 1965, HCO (Division 1) “Ethics, Suppressive Acts, Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists”

- L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 16 February 1969, “TARGETS, DEFENSE”

So mental health professionals are Scientology's enemy. It's pretty hilarious if you think about it....

 

Because they are taking the wrong course of action. They are making 5 year old children who just stare out windows take pills. Any kid that like to keep themselves is suddenly fiding themselves in intensive therapy. People that are believed insane beyond help are suddenly faced with an icepick for a full frontal lobotomy. All of this can be prevented. Therefore if they are trying to help lifes with faulty practices, they are actually hurting them and that must be stopped.

Scientology is bunk.

The founder was a science fiction writer who said that a good way to get rich would be to create a religion.

Then he created a religion in which a person has to pay lots of money to advance spiritually.

Hmmmmm.

Wow, that's pretty arrogant of you to pass judgement on something which you apparently know very little about. That Xenu site, it's as good as a super market tabloid, except less people are interested. I cannot find one single reference of L. Ron Hubbard talking about Xenu or any shit like that. Oh and L. Ron Hubbard was already rich to begin with. It's alos very ignorant to portray him as some guy who just pulled this whole scheme out of his ass. He spent decades traveling the wordl learning about different cultures and religons. From Asia with Buhhdism to Haiti and their Voodooism. (sp.) Anyway, all religons get alotta shit when they first come along. Scientology is the fastest growing religon in the world and i guess some people feel threatened, or disgusted by that. So soon here comes this "Xenu" site. Sorry but Scientology is about getting rid of insanity and other mental problems, not murderous space kings.
