Scientology: "Inside the Cult"

Repeatedly I am asked if I am advertising for Scientology, because of the Ads posted... the answer is NO and Heck NO! To be fair I have no official position on Scientology, as of yet... I feel constrained to offer some research done by others that is eye opening to say the least.
For more information: please watch all videos.

'One belief of Scientology is that a human is an immortal alien spiritual being, termed a thetan, that is trapped on planet Earth in a physical body."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology...

What comes off as a pyramid scheme, using "belief" as a commodity for sale... leaving it's follower chasing the proverbial carrot, and never really attaining their "goal". This group is not doing anything that hasn't been done before in religion, but it is the fan-fare that Scientology enjoys that is mind-boggling... but then that seems to be the attraction, now doesn't it?

[This is basically to say... "Hey, I am not a supporter of Scientology, and never will be!" I may already be a "nut" for some of the things I say at Rant/Rave, but supporting Scientology won't be one of them !:]

14 months ago: It's really hard to cast judgment on something you've never experienced yourself. If you've never read a book about Scientology, checked out a service, or even met Scientologists personally, then you've just regurgitated that part of internet culture that judges Scientology based on hearsay and conjecture. Wikipedia is hardly a reliable reference for Scientology-related knowledge - they have a bias against Scientology to begin with. A lot of the negative publicity also comes from ex-members who have a chip on their shoulder and a torch to burn - their perspectives are not objective. So I say, balance your research by researching Scientology material as well, then you can make an educated opinion.

Are you a member of Scientology? If so could you tell us all what particular information shared here is bogus and in need of correction... or is this similar to Freemasonry... and it is a secret?

Isn't "Imitation The Best Form Of Flattery" ...and if we are to honor Scientology,
we should honor the big "Cruise Ship" himself !:]
