This article is about the belief system and practices. For the organization, see Church of Scientology. For other uses, see Scientology (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Religious Science or Christian Science.
I was watching the morning news and Leah Remick was a guest. After becoming an adult, she bailed out of Scientology and said they were full of s- - t. She has been a member since age 9. Her parents were members and the kids had to be members also. I've wonderd about Scientology since Tom Cruse (sp.) was on the Today show. I read this article from Wikipedia and was surprised to learn it's a money making religion. You would have to be pretty well off to be a Scientologist. This is a short article with links to more information. This religion has nothing to do with God or Jesus, so let's don't turn this discussion into a religion debate. It's strictly for information.
Scientology is a body of beliefs and practices created by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard (1911 - 1986).
In 1950, Hubbard published Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, explaining the process of auditing, in which a counselor guides a subject to recall traumatic memories and resolve the associated negative emotions.[6][not in citation given][7] In 1953, having lost the rights to Dianetics, Hubbard created an expansion called Scientology which teaches that people are immortal beings who have forgotten their true nature.[8][9][10][11] Scientology claims that that psychiatry is destructive and abusive and must be abolished.[12][13] A typical Scientologist must spend several years and $100,000 before learning the story of Galactic Dictator Xenu.[14][15][16]

Huh scientology, the imaginary plane of pain, from the horizontal movement of the single edge ruler, Sister Clair Louise used on my knuckles when I would cut up in the classroom

1SG (Join to see), If you can believe Leah Remik, it sounds like that is exactly what she says it is. She was on 20-20 last night about her being in Scientology since she was a kid. Her parents were members, so she had to become a member, but after she got older, and could better understand what they were, she got out. I'm not going to rag on what someone else believes in, but I thought this was an interesting subject I've often wondered about. Thanks for your comments.

CPT (Join to see), I taped 20-20 last night about her and I am watching as we write. She's an interesting person. She's ragging on Tom Cruise about his actions with Matt Lauer on the Today Show. Interesting isn't she?

A paragraph about a part of what the Scientologists believe.
Scientologists, much like Mormons or Christian evangelicals, consider themselves to be on a mission. They frequently speak of "helping people," and this mission is stressed in a number of church testaments. "Scientologists see themselves as possessors of doctrines and skills that can save the world, if not the galaxy." says Stephen Kent, a professor of sociology at the University of Alberta, in Canada, who has extensively studied the group.
My opinion: They're fricken crazy.

The way I understand Scientology is; the more money you "donate" to the church (I didn't capitalize it on purpose) the higher ranking one becomes.

PO1 John Miller, John, that's pretty much the way I understand it now, after reading this article. I went to their homepage and it doesn't explain anything about it's church. If you want to know more, you have to buy a book collection divided into each explanation of the church. I'm thinking Leah Remick was right on spot with her opinion.

I think he's one of the high mucky mucks, because he is brainwashed and has lots of money.

Good info. There are several good documentaries on the "church" of Scientology online. It is a cult that uses their members confessions and issues against them for money. Kind of holds them for ransom. There are several celebrities that have denounced it because that tried to bankrupt them.

Bunch of brainwashed freaks if you ask me.

SGT (Join to see) ...it's a scientology joke. They go to a process called "clearing" ...I believe to rid themselves of negative energy or something of that nature. My scientology knowledge is limited to a recent documentary on the cult by former members, and the weird comments from Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

This explains how the Scientologists feel about reincarnation.
DOES SCIENTOLOGY BELIEVE
IN REINCARNATION OR PAST LIVES?
The vast majority of the world’s population believes in reincarnation and only in the last few hundred years, with the rise of the physical sciences, did a strictly materialistic view begin to eclipse the spiritual.
More recently, the traditional definition of reincarnation has been altered from its original meaning. The word has come to mean “to be born again in different life forms” (such as an animal, an insect, etc.) whereas its actual definition is “to be born again into the flesh or into another body.” So what is commonly thought of as reincarnation is a definite system and is not part of Scientology. Rather, the Church ascribes to the latter, original definition.
Today in Scientology, many people have certainty that they have lived lives prior to their current one. These are referred to as past lives, not as reincarnation. Past lives is not a dogma in Scientology, but generally Scientologists, during their auditing, experience a past life and then know for themselves that they have lived before. To believe one had a physical or other existence prior to the identity of the current body is not a new concept—but it is an exciting one.
It is a fact that unless one begins to handle aberration built up in past lives, he doesn’t progress. In Scientology, one is given the tools to handle upsets and aberrations from past lives that adversely affect the individual in the present, thus freeing one to live a much happier life.

SPC George Rudenko, If you're asking me, I've never heard of it, and am not interested in anything that has to do with Scientology.

SPC George Rudenko, I looked up Xenu and that freak that invented Scientology is nuttier than a fruit cake. Good lord, and these Hollywood freaks fall for that nonsense, and actually pay for it. Tells me a lot about actors, and why Leah Remini got the hell out of there.
