The “church” of Scientology is ridiculous

I will start this blog post by telling that I do not like the wannabe-church of Scientology or its members at all. I really find them repulsing.

You may ask why, and tell me that they got celebrities  like John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Lisa Marie Presley, Jason Lee, Isaac Hayes, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on their member list. This only show us how manipulating this cult can be, and is!

The Scientology movement was founded in 1951 by, a science-fiction author, L. Ron Hubbard as an alternative to the psychotherapy. Two years later he changed it to a religious movement to avoid the taxes. What they do today I would go as far as calling a fraud. Normal people like me and you are being convinced that they have problems, and only the (wannabe)-Church of  Scientology can help them. To help you they charge you money for courses and more tests all the time. People have even sold their homes to afford the high-end courses to get a better life.

In todays edition of Verdens Gang (translated to english here), one of Norway’s biggest newspapers, three journalists have visited the church in Oslo and taken their tests. They did of course not inform the “church” where they came from. They got a test containing 200 question. Two of them was going to answer polite to all questions, while the last one was supposed to be depressed. Everyone was told they were being depressed, withdrawn and irresponsible and had people suppressing them.

To solve their situations the church was offering them a course. The “depressed” journalist was also offered a follow-up course and a third course. The price? 585 NOK + 585 NOK + 1200 NOK for all three courses. Those are the three first courses in their chain of, what I call, money fraud. I guess the fourth course is at 1200 NOK too, while the fifth one will be at around 2000. From there you can just imagine course 25 and above. The fact is that you will never get to the end of courses, as they will always have something new for you. To keep both you and your money within their power.

One of the cults biggest critics is Andreas Heldal-Lund. The cult keep threatening him to keep his mouth shut, but both Andreas and his website http://www.xenu.net still goes on. I suggest you visit the website and learn more about the cult and their frauds!

Also have a look at http://www.xenutv.com !

I will post a longer introduction to scientology shortly!
