I know Bf2s  has  a wide and varied following with different beliefs. I'm interested to see if, like the title suggests, there are  any here. If so please tells us YOUR personal views on Scientology. Is it a viable religion? Does its views clash with other religions? Most importantly....is it a cult?

I mean no offence with the questions I ask, but I guess they may have asked Jesus these same questions when Christianity arose. (just an example)

Please tell us your opinions.


Related topics of interest. Nice thread serge.

it's an power-hungry, elitist cult with a huge financial interest. More like power-lobbying on a spiritual base. And the pseudo-religious science fiction crap about xenu is so absurd it's laughable.

And as far as their views go, they're truly undemocratic and criminal. Google "Operation Snow White" and you'll get an idea.

In germany, they have been under constant supervision by federal authorites since 1997, since the courts believe that Scientology may present a threat to the democratic values. Because of that, Scientology is not reckognized as a religion in germany.

as far as I am concerned, they can go die in a fire.

True. But Islam was created by a maniac probably on hashish or something, and Jesus although a nice guy probably was on something too. Or probably didnt exist.

If Scientology is still around in 2000 years time, they'll be talking about how they were "persecuted" for being a "new" religion. Just like they all were when they started.

To sum up: All religions are the fucking same, well the western ones at least (Islam/Christianity/Judaism etc.. )

I mean, Scientology even uses words like "Church" and other Christian ones.

I think it'd be slightly more sane to found a cult dedicated to the worship of Scarlett Johansson.

well, at least the catholic church doesn't conduct "auditings" and charges people for church visits. THey'll also allow me to speak to non-catholic family members. I cherish my personal freedoms, you know.

Have you read about xenu,OT levels, aliens, and the other science fiction stuff behind scientology ?

it's not a religion, it's a money-hungry, power-hungry cult, based on science fiction.

Brethren linked to Howard campaign
By Linda Doherty Education Editor
September 16, 2005

The Exclusive Brethren, a moralistic sect causing a political furore in the New Zealand general election, has been connected to a campaign for the re-election of John Howard and the self-confessed adulterer Ross Cameron.

The sect's MET school at Meadowbank was the address used to authorise political advertisements by Stephen Hales, the brother of Bruce Hales, a Sydney businessman and world leader of the Brethren's 70,000 followers. The ads in The Parramatta Advertiser said: "Keep Parramatta in safe hands, Keep Australia in safe hands, Keep Howard Prime Minister". "Don't trust a novice with no experience."

The Brethren are evangelical Protestants who do not vote and are forbidden from watching television, using computers or mobile phones. They receive $2.4 million a year in federal and state grants to run the Meadowbank school and 12 other campuses in Sydney and country NSW.

Since Bruce Hales was made world leader in 2002 the traditionally apolitical Brethren have become involved in the re-election of conservative governments.

They reportedly spent $500,000 on a campaign to re-elect George Bush as US President and the same amount to run a campaign in New Zealand against Labour and the Green Party.

We would have laughed at Jesus if he would have lived in our time as well, I do think Scientology is bs too but i think likewise about similar things. In 2000 years will they still laugh at Scientology? ( if it exist ) who knows maybe maybe not.

One of the pinnacle beliefs include Xenu, the evil galactic superlord, with the help of psychiatrists, convinced most of the universes population to go to him, under the belief it was a tax income inspection.  He then proceeds to paralyse said population, throws 'em down a volcano and blows it up with a H-bomb.




Yeh, thats even slightly believable.

I suck at quoting, but you mentioned above it´s a money hungry organisation that´s true, but is/was the church any different? The land and property that has been stolen/taken by the church is huge, not long ago we were forced in Sweden to pay church tax...





Eidt: gah.. i have no idea what i did that post looks like crap ^^ my bad

These Scientologist are all bat shit crazy! It's just another way for the rich to be different and feed their ego that they deserve better in life than the rest of us. This of course includes their own religion that we can't afford. Congrats Hollywood you got your own religion. Hope the stupid asshats die of a fucking virus that pennisylin could have cured! The rrony would be hilarious!

$cientology is a cult that destroys families. The procedures and the practices of the church are completely wrong and it has caused harm to thousands.

Scientology is not a religion, it's a business
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Comparing Scientology to other actual religions with the argument 'they did it too' is invalid.

It´s just a word why do people put so much weight and importance in that? Spit on the Scientologists all you want but don´t come complaining if you see me pissing about Islam or whatever. I can see things from your perspective though but i look very objective on these concerns.

Note: I´m sure you know but i don´t defend them i like em as much as i like the rest religons.
