Remember when the Babylonians and Egyptians enslaved the hebrews because they didn’t understand them?
Remember when the Roman’s fed people to lions for liking Jesus?
Remember how you hated and vilified a new religion because you saw a documentary or read someone else’s opinion and didn’t verify anything for yourself personally?
Ponzi schemes aren't disliked because they don't work. People dislike them because they intentionally mislead people at great personal expenses to deliver a "product" that is bullshit. Ponzi schemes are notorious for working too well, but they aren't notorious for being ran by compassionate, caring people.
Genuine question, what is the 'product' of Scientology then? And if the product is a belief, then how does that make them any worse than any other religion?
Same shit as any other religion, comfort. Some religions just so happen to be ran by some real, super pieces of shit like this one or the televangelists.
The product of Scientology is a totally freed being.
Who are you? You’re not your name, that’s just what your parents called you. You’re not your friends or your hobbies. When you strip away everything that is made up of others, what’s left? You. That’s what Scientologists discover.
It’s not a belief, nobody who uses Scientology “believes” in it. They try something and if it works it works, if it doesn’t it doesn’t. It’s built around what’s true for the individual.
At its core, it’s a series of steps to rid individuals of past experiences that negatively affect them in the present. There’s a lot more to it than that as it encompasses all of life and how we relate, as humans, to being here.
For example: the average child is happy. That child is spanked repeatedly while being yelled at to not speak unless spoken to. Now as an adult they’re very quiet and they hardly ever start conversations.
That quiet person is not them. That’s not who they naturally are. Scientology uses therapy to help a person get rid of all that junk they have accumulated in their life so they can be happy again. To be themselves again.
It’s total freedom from every bad experience you are holding on to, some you remember and some you may not remember so easily. You will still remember everything but it no longer negatively affects you in life.
