Everyone hears about it here and there especially when you see Tom Cruise or John Travolta. I think they have championed Scientology and trying to get it into everyone’s head yet they are so secretive.
A BBC report John Sweeney went undercover to investigate them and it seems he was being brainwashed by them even though it was just an article he was doing. He gives a larger breakdown of what these people are up to and the things that happen seem unreal.
From what I have understood its a “pay as you go cult,” not that I know everything about it but every time when you read something about them they seem to be a little on the nuttier side then most people. They are also out to destroy all psychiatrists, saying the psychiatry kills which makes no sense.
To go up on the religious level and to find out more information about the truth to the religion you have to make large donations. And then you find out that an alien named Xenu put some particles here over 75 million years and things went from there.
Also when ever someone joins the Scientology religion they send the disconnects to their family and friends, and they never contact them again.
If you are looking to their religion and trying to find out information they chase you away and make sure you are harrased in every form yet they won’t admit to it. They have a lot of money because of the advancement process which is tied to the donation process.
The article puts a lot of things to light, and its really worth a read if your interested in just knowing about them.
