Is scientology healthy?

Asked Jan 22, 2009, 03:46 PM — 15 Answers
I've heard that there are various celeborties who are tied with *** edited*** scientology. Then I found some really unplesant youtube vids/ with reffrences to various articles questioning the validity of this *** edited ***

So, does this help people or does it brain wash them in the hopes of gaining finaces, or other wise?

I haven't read up on it yet, but so far I'm a little sceptical of their doings. But to be fair, I do need to read more about it.

Ok peace be with you.

So you came to this board and trash scientology in your question, and you don't know anything much about it!

I don't know much about scientology either, it's not a religion I'm interested in. If you want to further your knowledge on this religion then do some research, I'm sure there's lots of info on the internet, libraries and other places.

Heck, maybe someone on this site is a practicing scientologist and will explain their religion to you further.

Post has been edited, as noted on other religion boards we are not here to attack any faith of others.

First, read Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology.

Everyone must decide for them self what they deem* healthy *or not when it comes to a religion.

Of course you will get different opinions but they are only that.

Clearly,for some people this is a religion that works. I admire the Travolta family and they are Scientologists and so I investigated it and found it not for me but that does not mean it isn't for someone else.

For every person who supports a religion or cause you will find someone who opposes it. Arm yourself with knowledge and then you can make an accurate and informed decision.

It seems that many people follow this belief, it would be great if someone on the board was a practicing scientologist and came to tell us more.

I don't like to rely on google for info, but it's not a bad place to start. Sadly, you have to find a reliable web site, most of them have too much misinformation.

Scientology is a study to clear oneself of limiting behavoirs. While most religions focus on telling you something is wrong or sinful, scientology studies the deeper pyschological behaviors and its origins to give people a better understanding of themselves. When studying the core of ones own issues, it becomes easier to overcome limiting or sinful behaviours to enhance ones own life. Scientology does not tell you what God or other diety to worship. It encourages a stronger path for whatever you choose.
