    It's a cult. Don't go anywhere near it.

    They give me Jehovah's Witnesses vibes. It's a cult hidden behind a very pleasant-looking and inviting shroud. I wouldn't buy into it.

    I've watched some. Still think it isn't that bad? People lost tons of money but nobody pointed a gun at their heads. Sounds like a scam, but if you go into a religion and pay for, say, spiritual awakening, you should be satisfied with whatever results you get.
    Anyways, I'm not affiliated with them, just want to know more about it -- I'm curious. Do you guys know about the wife of David Miscavage going missing? There's just so much mystery around Scientology, and some celebs seem to really like and defend it, like Tom Cruise.
    Trying to see both sides here. I'd still check out the online courses. There's one for people who are bad at social skills. Seem just right for me.

    You are right in a sense. JW are known for shunning people who leave the religion. Scientology is the same. In that sense I agree it's a cult.

    Really? o_O Scientology is nothing like Jehovah's Witnesses. You would never have to pay for the info/education they offer.

    I'm not impressed with how they treat people. They use fear and intimidation to try to silence their critics.

    Scientology courses are free. Website is scientologycoursesonline, search in Google. You have to pay for other religious services and to achieve higher "ranks" inside Scientology.

    You're right. But is that wrong?

    You must admit it's a plus. Usually celebrities are successful people.

    Monetarily successful but often depressed, suicidal, drugged-up, adulterous, etc. I'm not going to look up at celebrities as role models just because they make quite a bit of money. Certainly not in terms of religious or moral standards.

    I don’t know much about Scientology, but from what I’ve heard, it’s not something that I’d want to get vibes from.
