    anyone here have any first hand knowledge of Scientology?

    I 'd like to know if anyone has found it successful in either getting their life focused or if they have successfully kicked drugs through their purification program....

    I am fascinated by this and I have always been under the impression it's a cult until I recently read and saw some stuff that was very enlightening....

                  read "operation clambake"
                  http://www.xenu.net/

                  they'll even tell you the secret about all the murdered aliens that possess your soul, that only scientology can cure (save yourself $10K+ on that secret alone) while you're their read about the wrongful death, and kidnapping case they have against them, and their attempts to censor the internet for their members.

                  :D

                      yea they take a lot of a person't eanings from what I understand-
                      I thnk Travolta and Cruise give 70% of their earnings to the church-

                      Lisa Marie Presley
                      Isaac Hayes
                      Doug E Fresh
                      Tom Cruise
                      John Travolta
                      Kirstie Alley

                      they are all Scientologists- most are former drug addicts as well.

                      I am looking into why that program would be successful for their sobriety- for a friend

                              I know a few people into Scientology --- they are both wack jobs --- the church should ask them to quit, they aren't helping the cause!

                              I think anyone who focuses on improving their own life can do it on their own. Do you need to spend a lot of money for someone to tell you how to improve? When you probably already know the answer?

                              my two cents

                                      seeing as you're sounding rather serious about it, please at least read
                                      http://www.xenu.net

                                      it contains a lot of information about some of the bad things about scientology, including their use of the court system to surpress anyone who writes bad things about them, a wrongful death suit against the church for a member subjected to "auditing", the stupid secrets the church has you pay for to obtain, their hassassment of former members, (including picketing their work, leaflet drops in their neighbourhood, hiring private investigators etc.) it also tells you about a type of netnanny software that scientology sends to people that filters certain words and peoples names/sites etc from being displayed on your computer.
                                      I would carefully consider what you're getting yourself into first.

                                          - L. Ron Hubbard


                                          That was his philosophy, KB. An admirable one if you're peddling porn, but not so much when you're organizing a 'religion'... Please ask your 'friend' to be a little careful.

                                                  Scientology is a joke. They try to convince you that they can heal you by putting their hands close to your body. Then if it fails, they say you didn't believe in it. Typical scam bullshit.

                                                  Also, if you don't make a lot of money, they won't even want you as a member.

                                                      C'mon KB, you know the answer to your question.

                                                      Remember when you were blind folded my them and they tried to bring you to their "clear" stage?

                                                              Scientology told Tom Cruise that Nicole Kidman was full of thetans.

                                                              So he lost his mind and dumped her.

They can help you get off drugs, but that's an effect from brainwashing you into blindly believing everything with a Scientology stamp on it (and "Source" L. Ronald Hubbard was very much against drugs and psychology because they couldn't cure his paranoid schizophrenia and possibly other mental problems as well). If you have any questions about Scientology I would be happy to talk to you. I have read a lot of books and talked to a lot of people about this cult and its followers.

                                                                                              Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.


                                                                                              Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.
                                                                                              Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).

                                                                                              read the rest@

                                                                                                                                                  scientology is based on aliens and them being responsible for human creation - the book says we are here because of them - and their souls (900 or so of them) hang on our bodies - then you must go to these 'clensing' sessions ($$$) in which each session removes one soul at a time

                                                                                                                                                  alot of famous people in Hollywood are into it - cuz they have no life other then their famous one - and become very insecure

The scientology headquarters was few blocks away. They all frequented my coffee shop. I could always tell when the new recruits were around..they were like retarded Zombies that couldnt even order coffee for themselves.. they would have a "senior member" with them at all times.. talking for them..making their decisions on what they were eating that day. It was just flat out creepy to watch these folks being led around like zombies with ahook thru their nose. It was really fun when they tried to lay their line of shit on me.. a big 19 years old and i told them they are fucking brainwashing those folks.. my mind was way too strong for their bullshit washing techniques.. i asked them if they were up for a challenge..hahahahaha. They left me alone.. strong minded individuals need not apply...I hear the bible is quite good, but I would stay far far aways from the whole "church" worship thing..
