The brainwashing of this "religion" is just sick. Making people believe in themselves to over come life's obsticales but you have to spend millions of dollars and millions of hours devoted to this so called religion. These people are money hungry selfish psychos. I feel so sorry for people who has lost family and friends to this crazy a*% religion. I hope that somehow people will get justice for the actions of this so called "church".
shareI mean... It IS awful, but it doesn't even begin to compare to the blood spilled, carnage, and families torn apart by Christianity, Islam, etc. All religions are cults and are ultimately harmful at one point or another, and so easy to masque in moral high grounds.
shareAll religions are cults and are ultimately harmful at one point or another...
but there ARE differences... and these long standing religions HAVE done good for people in the form of charity and reaching out around the world, and these long standing religions HAVE admitted their many wrongs mostly occurring in their pasts and have tried to make amends in some form or another..
just these 2 points DIFFER FROM THIS CULT THAT IS SCIENTOLOGY! THEY HAVE NEVER HELPED ANYONE AND YOU BETTER NOT EVEN DARE TO EVEN THINK MUCH LESS ACT AND SAY OUTLOUD THAT THEY HAVE EVER, I REPEAT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG! EVER!..
BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER ADMIT TO IT!
and of course there are their actual policies and doctrine of a destructive cult that scientology REEKS OF and the fact it's a money scam pyramid scheme from the get go! the only "pay as you go religion" that one has to pay money just to learn about it, to practice it and so on....
you can't compare scientology and other destructive abusive cults to long standing religions, their not the same thing..
and these long standing religions HAVE done good for people in the form of charity and reaching out around the worldAre you serious, or seriously stupid? Do you even know what scale is? Whatever charity those long standing religions have done, completely pale in comparison to the harm they have done. That's like saying, lay off Scientology, they planted a tree once in downtown Clearwater.
ZZZzzzz..cue in "all religion is bad, they are are EVIL, 100% evil, their all the same, they don't do anyone any could EVER! every catholic priest, EVERY one of them is a pedo, and so on and so on...
i do not follow myself a organized religion, however, i can see all of the "sides" and know for millions and billions they DO provide something that people need in their life in some form or the other.. and yes, the good and bad of it..
i'm also aware that they are NOT all the same, they are NOT all 100% evil whether their doctrine or their members... would the world be better of without any religion? i think so, but the majority would not say so for whatever reasons i suspect...
the topic is scientology and the fact it's a EVIL abusive (financial, emotional,physical) destructive totalitarian scam that needs to be rid of, that does NOT do ANY good for ANYONE EVER...
> Whatever charity those long standing religions have done, completely pale in comparison to the harm they have done.
You seem to only be looking at the actual charity that religions engage in, such as free Christmas dinners, children's hospitals, and so on. Yes, that is small compared to the harm they've done over the years.
But, where the good comes in is for the individual. All human beings need something to believe in and something to guide them. For some, it's hard work and their family. For others, it's the need to help other people or change the environment.
But, for most people, they need religion. Religion gives them hope and it gives them rules to live by. Without religion, people would live like animals and steal and kill indiscriminately. Religion tells them that they will be punished for all of their sins and so they try not commit very many. Religion has, thus, given us civilization, despite a laundry list of bad things done in the name of religion.

Not all religions are cults!
shareIt is very troubling. I've read a few books on ex members including Leah's. It really breaks my heart. The continued abuse, threats and harassment after a member leaves is very troubling too.
shareYes, Leah Remini is just awful. Such a fake person.

It's not a religion. It's a sick, evil, money grubbing cult. They should have their tax exempt status revoked.
