      I used to think that Scientology, because of the name, was a Darwinist religion with beliefs based on the science of evolution.
      When I read up on Hubbard and watch the documentary I was appalled and stunned.
      It’s a cult with a secret, insulated underground society, hidden compounds around the world, they litteraly get away with murder. (The cult leader’s wife vanished in 2005 without a trace)

      There is a great documentary bu Louis Theroux where he explores Scientology. Scary shit! Side note - when my friend and I were stupid teenagers we went to the local Scientology centre. They LOCKED US IN to the video viewing room and wouldn’t unlock it until the film was over.

      I just noticed Buzzfeed starts every single word in their titles with a capital letter. I will never be able to unsee that.

      Go ahead, write all those deplorable things about Scientology!!! Without their assistance (yes, very expensive assistance) how are ever going to get those alien spirits out of your mind and body? At least show a little gratitude to those attempting to oust those nefarious alien spirits!!!

      I had a friend who tried to kill himself after 2 years of being a scientologist, they took all of his money for their books and dvds and tried to chase him down when he went into hospital after the attempted suicide, he was in for nearly a year.
      To say that Scientology has never hurt anyone is a massive lie.

      When I was in college, I found a book about Scientology written by the church of scientology in my school’s library. In the beginning, every two pages was devoted to a religious prophet or reformer. Then at the end of that part of the book there is a two page image, with all the major prophets and religious figures, including Jesus, Muhammad (PBUH) with his face obscured, and Buddha, all of them circling the scientology cross symbol dealie.
      The best part of the book was the Q&A portion, with the first question being, “Is Scientology a cult.” I kid you not, the answer they gave was that when Christianity was first started it was considered a cult. Shady McShadeson.

      I just find out there’s a church of Scientology here in DFW. Pretty crazy stuff.

      I just watched this documentary about former Sea Org members. The guy who acts as spokesman for Scientology is one of the BEST LIARS I HAVE EVER SEEN. He’s so ultra-calm and measured, it’s almost admirable (but he’s still a fucking dickface liar who can go to hell). It is highly, highly creepy.  Also, check out any of Tony Ortega’s excellent posts on The Village Voice, detailing Scientology’s abuses and illegalities. I’ve lost many an hour of sleep to them; they’re unputdownable.

      “Insist yourself”? Is that some kind of Scientology claptrap, or did he forget the word “assert”? #13

      How are the bat-shit crazy theories about Xenu “based on tested and proven facts”?

    • TheTragicallyFlip 10 months ago

      #6 is a real thing Scientology does with their personality tests. #4 is clearly a joke. #2 doesn’t seem like an unreasonable complaint. What exactly is the point of this list? To mock yelp reviewers?
