Scientology

what do you guys know and think about it.....

 

I have no idea wtf it is...
WTF mate? Fucking kangaroos.

 

I think religious tolerance is gay. Scientology is dumb as hell. :H

 

no way?

well u would probs find it interesting..but they are adamantly against the work of psychology.... and it gets very deep into past lives...overts....etc...things that hold u back so you can release it...it's hard to find out alot about unless you have direct contact with the books

 

i just know the ads in the christian science monitor and they seem kinda weird.

 

There was this kid in my class in junior high, whose parents were scientologists.. I think. It seemed a wee bit strange.

 

ive read a bit about it

i think its g-g-a-a-a-y-y

 

I just see it as a bullshit attempt at a renovation of universal religions with some mix of Dale Carnegie ethics.

 

it wasnt started as a religion...from what i have learnt i dont believ it to be so much a religion as a huge learning process and a greater awareness of life...it gets kinda spooky though,,and extremely confrontational

 

don't they charge you for books and to take tests....

 

i think so..dont know..i am getting second hand information and just find some of the concept interesting..dont think i would invest..but i like to know about it

 

Sounds pretty lame, I want none of it.

 

too bad..i shall find u in ur dreams and scientologise you anyway! LOL!

 

Ummmm.. No.

 

the belief that you chose where you are in life in some former incarnation is what annoys me...that people who are poor and starving chose it and that people who are rich successful superstars chose that...just annoys the hell out of me and makes me think that the rich successful people are just trying to make themselves feel better about the world. I also don't like the alien conciousness part of it all, and the levels, that you climb up levels, and all the gobbedygook that goes with it...and the fact that it's founder was L.Ron Hubbard, man his science fiction books were bad enough but then he had to go and inflict this philosophy on us!!!

generally an annoying bunch of people I am afraid...but probaly ultimately harmless if they leave me alone!!
:X

 

Didn't mean to tread on your beliefs or anything. Sometimes my keyboard types really rude things all by itself.

Sorry. :H

 

hehe they are not my beliefs! i am just learning! i learn about all things and then use bits of information that i like and discard what i dont!


stephaniesomewhere: it is not just scientology that suggests the theory we choose our circumstances....but some people might choose bad circumstances to prove they can beat it...maybe they can, maybe they cant..some hollywood stasrs weren't born rich u know!

 

yup...I know it's not just scientology that has this as one of their beliefs but we were talking about them particularly...this belief annoys me whatever religion/philosophy it appears in....I just don't like it....something about it feels wrong to me...lacking in compassion maybe...or lacking in desire to change and better the world...not sure exactly why but it just does...
:H
and his books just plain suck!!!
:X

 

i read dianetics and took some courses once
in the end i saw it all boilded down to money
and that they would go to extortionary lengths to get into your wallet and life

 

sounds like most religions
