What is Sup Forums's honest, ubiased take on Scientology?

This is not bait, I am interested in exploring spirituality with origins in the west (IE not semetic religions or eastern spirituality).

What are its strengths? What are its flaws?

Christ is king faggot.

If you don't agree with that fuck off back to /Reddit.

Sup Forums is a Christian board gtfo Xenu

The thing that's somewhat attractive about scientology is at least they use a measurement of skin galvanic response to help determine your emotions/thoughts. That is science based and observable. I'd love to believe Christ is king, but there is no evidence

It's an abusive cult cum tax haven.
Also fuck off, do your own homework.

Go kill a muslim then jew lover

>hurr super-polygraph proves scientology is real
>but there's no evidence for Christianity

Cuck. Remember, Christian miracles are still going on to this day, like the Miracle of the Sun, numerous Marian apparitions, etc.

You're also forgetting the evidence and scholars that support the story of Jesus

>His birth
>His teachings
>His followers
>His baptism
>His arrest
>His death

All without a doubt happened as the Bible states.

That all means that the multiple prophecies written (according to historical scholars) centuries before Christ was born all happen to be correct on the time, place, and person.

>let me guess: lucky guesses ayyylmao

>japanese celebrities join science murder cult
>Get cut off completely by everyone and told they're no good
>American celebrities join science murder cult
>Get praised for their donations to it

Really gets the neurons firing.

>Jesus
>Kike

No. During His lifetime, no persons were described as "Jews" anywhere. That fact is supported by theology, history and science. When Jesus was in Judea, it was not the "homeland" of the ancestors of those who today style themselves "Jews". Their ancestors never set a foot in Judea. They existed at that time in Asia, their "homeland", and were known as Khazars. In none of the manuscripts of the original Old or New Testament was Jesus described or referred to as a "Jew". The term originated in the late eighteenth century as an abbreviation of the term Judean and refers to a resident of Judea without regard to race or religion, just as the term "Texan" signifies a person living in Texas.

In spite of the powerful propaganda effort of the so-called "Jews", they have been unable to prove in recorded history that there is one record, prior to that period, of a race religion or nationality, referred to as "Jew". The religious sect in Judea, in the time of Jesus, to which self-styled "Jews" today refer to as "Jews", were known as "Pharisees". "Judaism" today and "Pharisaism" in the time of Jesus are the same.

Jesus abhorred and denounced "Pharisaism"; hence the words, "Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites, Ye Serpents, Ye Generation of Vipers".

Cons: It's incontrovertibly a cult created by a science fiction writer for money

Pros: It's the second most popular meme religion in the world after Kekism.

Agreed, that's why we must build socialism.

Scientology is a business.

It's actual cult shit

>he wasn't here for the entirety of 2009-2010 with anonymoose protests wearing le guy fawkes (XD) masks
Pathetic

It's fake but I wish I owned it

It's the only religion liberals can openly hate so they go waaaaaay overboard

>Scientology wars: 0

Honestly, I think that Scientology got a lot of things right, and a lot of their activities can be used to help develop the self.

Unfortunately if those guys ever get your name you will never hear the end from them.

you forgot a comma, bitch

>scientology shilling
>on MY good Christian Sup Forums?

Get out

But seriously scientology is literally a cult. We could debate religion all day and whether or not people should/shouldn't believe in it, but scientology is quite seriously a cult used to control people

> socialism

In this same spirit I'm thinking of getting a bunch of Bogandoff masks made. 1000 will run me approximately $300 and I think I can sell them for $10 each. Do you think people would buy them?

>Flaws
Its made up by a professional science fiction writer who wanted to be rich

You're a cultist idiot if you go for scientology.
Watch the Tom Cruise in the closet episode of south park, it'll tell you everything you need to know about scientology

Scientologist chicks are easy to fuck.
I highly recommend you visit one of their
centers of worship. It's literally a brothel.

Unlike the LDS church, Scientology doesn't want you to be happy, and have lots of children. It's just drains your money provide fake courses meanwhile they observe you brutally and take action when you want to leave them.It's a cult based on a stupid story.

Read books, learn philosophy and go socialize if you want explore spirituality.

Absolutely harmless. Churches dig up dirt on former members all the time, it's no big deal tbqh. Participation is consensual and does not violate the NAP. A majority of their shady practices stem from a reasonable desire to not pay taxes to a government that seeks to destroy them.

/x/ here

It was a bet between Hubbard and Crowley that Hubbard could write a sci-fi novel and turn it into a religion. Crowley said that would never work. Hubbard understood cult mindsets and philosophy well.

Hubbard clearly won.

It's literally a crazy cult but if you are an adult that's dumb enough to join it you deserve the mental anguish and isolation from your family that will ensue as a result.

It was only recognized as a legitimate religion because of a targeted harassment campaign against the IRS. Basically they spend the IRS with counter complaints and letters on a large scale then told the IRS that they would get their members to stop doing so if they would grant them a religious tax exemption.

It's flaws are that it's fake.

>scientology wants people to join
>scientology wants people to be miserable (and leave the church) and not have babies (who would grow up in the church).
Your logic makes no sense, how does the chuch profit off of people being miserable.
>Scientology is a scam and is linked to Satanism
I always hear people say this but I can never get a confirmation. Do you mind providing your source?

L. Ron Hubbard was steeped into the occult. He was close friends with Aleister Crowley and other well known occultists.

Everything in scientology is already well understood by those who study esotericism and the occult, just with a sci-fi spin.

Some of scientology is actually hermetics and memetics as well.

No point in joining though, there is much more powerful occult material on the web for free

Huh so the whole "cult that will kidnap you in the middle of the night and never let you leave"" just a meme for retards that need drama in their lives?

tfw no qt scientology gf

personally, i feel like the fact that it is so connected in hollywood and seemed to be a religion very red pilled on the jews makes it seem ok.

Like scientology might be bad, but they aren't raping women by the millions like the JEws in LA are.

Personally i have a theory that the whole attack on scientology started as a psyop by the government as a way to get back at them for the shit they pulled aganist the government.

plus it was done mostly on the internet way back when as a way to find out just how powerful this thing was at getting people talking about stuff

Overall i just wish i could go back in time to the early 90s and convince Tom Cruise and Issac Hayes to convert to judiasm instead of scientology because that way the take down's from South Park and Sup Forums would have led to a massive redpilling on the evils of the jews. Like there is an alternate reality where jews are basically all in camps right now because project chanology caused everyone to realize how horrbile they are.

III° Master Magician Ordo Templi Orientis

Watch any video of people getting stalked by scientologists. They're fucked in the head.

>nobody is allowed to leave scientology
>i know this because of testimony from somebody who left scientology
People lie m8. Especially people with hate in their hearts.
You need to learn to look at situations from multiple perspectives.

They candidly film you admitting embarrassing shit then if you try to leave they threaten to release it. They also have people stalk you with cameras.

Not an argument

It's just a tax haven for Rich Hollywood Celebrities. Seriously. They just dupe vulnerable people and suck money out of them, to even think that Scientology has any sort of spirituality is pretty laughable

I figured being inducted into the O.T.O would give me enough grounds to speak on.

...

Found the Scientologists.

>oh no, the big scary bad men have video cameras

I wonder as a general question, how many of these things are true about other religions? How many Jewish things have been proven? How many Islamic prophecies have come true? What about Buddhism, isn't that documented well?

Well, you burgers are used to believing in a magic sandnigger in space, why is this crap any different?

Just a relatively small part of the church members live well (like Cruise, Travolta etc.) they bring tons of money to the church. Of course the church wants people to join in but when you are in yoou can't leave this cult.

Anyway so many people in the Scientology church live as literally slaves, they work for the cult as cleaners, technicians, auditors like that.
I don't think they're happy.

I think if you feed the church and go its courses you'll be fine (in your cult-lifestyle way) but if you want to leave it, things change worse.

Religion fabricated by a pedophile to consolidate power. People who leave it are murdered.
But enough about Islam, Scientology is dodgy too.

>make fun of Islam
Get murdered
>make fun of jews
Get fired
>make fun of Christians
Get boycotted
>make fun of Scientologists
$$$$$$$$$$$$
And people wonder why scientologists are bit paranoid.

One of our oldest enemies here.
They're dangerous retards, plain and simple.

It's very obviously a scam. No religion forces you to pay to 'advance' to higher levels of enlightenment

Share Blue General has established that major Democrats funded political campaigns and activists with embezzled money. We are being massively raided because David Brock is going to prison.

>people willingly donating their time to the church is slavery
You honestly think that people are so embarrassed of looking at porn they would let themselves become slaves? Think for a second man.

Scientology is a sociopath training club.
This isn't up for debate, read about it.

Except Catholicism lol

>Blow yourself up and get 72 virgins in heaven!

Devils advocate?
This

>all religions are scams..kys shlomo

>willingly
I don't think so. They forced to work for the Church. If you are in, they take over you, they control your mind, your money, and use you as a tool to achieve their goals.

*they force you to work for the church

Any proof of this? If the church is so evil and manipulative, there must be SOME hard evidence.

for example

theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/02/scientology-slave-labor-beatings-and-an-fbi-investigation/342337/

there are tons of articles and youtube videos about the church's dirty techniques

He's a American Scientology apologist, it's like arguing with a rock

A fucking tax shelter

>paul haggis
Oh man that guy is a riot
>claims that the church is abusive and has work camps
>only decides to leave because MUH GAY MARRIAGE
I don't know why people take him seriously.

From someone who was closely associated with the cult (but never a member), run far away from it. I knew a guy who lived in a van despite having a good job because he spent all his money on courses. Any time he felt depressed (obviously because of money) he was programmed to think taking more courses would unlock the true secrets to his happiness. Many such cases.

If you are really interested, you can find a lot of Hubbard's policies on Freezone, Wikileaks, torrent sites, some book stores, etc. See for yourself if it's something you'd actually like. You won't--the only reason people join is because they are desperate, and Scientology is like a second family.

Also someone at Gold is wearing the hat of policing Sup Forums. He/she has a script set up to alert them 24/7 whenever Scientology is mentioned on Sup Forums, ever since Chanology. It's exactly like what you think JIDF and CTR is.

Don't see that one on the rules list, überfag.

Your sky daddy isn't real, Xenu isn't either.

>Scientologist chicks are easy to fuck.
Muh 2nd dynamic. Be careful or you'll get a KR.

>Gold INT

Haha faggot Sup Forums is OSA territory

...

It's a scam

It's just another cult trying to emulate the power of the Jewish cabal

Fun fact: Jesus didn't actually fulfill the Old Testament prophecies of the messiah. That's why Christianity has this notion of a second coming-- he'll get it next time, honest!

Judaism mustard race.

He's right though, you memeing christfag. Your religion is literally talmudic fancfiction

I think it is mostly a scam to make money
