View Full Version : Scientology
Renee said something about scientology in the previous topic. *what is that relegion all about. *i went to their website *www.scientology.org amd they use the cross as a part of their logo. *do they believe in christ? *what do they believe in?
I honestly think it's a cult.
Scientology is an applied religious philosophy developed by the American philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. *The Scientology religion follows just this tradition of man’s search for his spiritual identity. In Scientology, the individual himself is considered to be the spiritual being — a thetan.
Operating Thetan levels 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are all to do with getting rid of "body thetans". These body thetans are the souls of dead space aliens murdered by Xenu, 75 million years ago.
Scientologists believe that 75 million years ago an evil galactic ruler, named Xenu, solved overpopulation by bringing trillions of people to Earth in DC-8 space planes, stacking them around volcanoes and nuking them. Then the souls of these dead space aliens were captured and boxed up and taken to cinemas where they were shown films of what life should be like, false ideas containing God, the devil and Christ and told to get ill.
After that they supposedly clustered together and now inhabit our bodies. Scientologists believe that if they rid themselves of these body thetans then they will be healthier and will gain special powers like mind-over-matter.
Some Scientologists spend $360,000 for all this. None of them gain any special powers except the power to delude themselves.
This is the exact story of Xemu:
Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xemu. Xemu 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 Xemu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were over-populated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.
Xemu 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).
These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xemu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.
The story doesn't end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a "thetan" in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).
After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called "implanting".
When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.
As for Xemu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xemu is still alive today.
That is the end of the story. And so today everyone is full of these clusters of souls called "body thetans". And if we are to be a free soul then we have to remove all these "body thetans" and pay lots of money to do so. And the only reason people believe in God and Christ was because it was in the film their body thetans saw 75 million years ago.

LOL, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT SECULAR MOVIE
It is an eight-pointed cross representing the eight parts or dynamics of life through which each individual is striving to survive. These parts are: (1) the urge toward existence as self, as an individual; (2) the urge to survive through creativity, including the family unit and the rearing of children; (3) the urge to survive through a group of individuals or as a group; (4) the urge toward survival through all mankind and as all mankind; (5) the urge to survive as life forms and with the help of life forms such as animals, birds, insects, fish and vegetation; (6) the urge to survive of the physical universe, by the physical universe itself and with the help of the physical universe and each one of its component parts; (7) the urge to survive as spiritual beings or the urge for life itself to survive; (8) the urge toward existence as infinity. To be able to live happily with respect to each of these spheres of existence is symbolized by the Scientology cross.
As a matter of interest, the cross as a symbol predates Christianity.

she cant explain it to you bono sorry.
nothing that she posted was heres, someone else wrote it.
scientology is a business, not a religion
:love: *I LOVE RITA!!! *:love:
If they can overcome the 8 dynamics, they are able 2 remove the "body thetans" I assume. I think these are the stages of which they live their life.
1 self - their existance
2 sex and family - get married & have kids
3 groups - could be church, organizations, charity groups etc.
4 all mankind - live through all makind by having your spirit live on
5 living things (plants and animals) - your spirit will live on by these things
6 the material universe - spirit survives the physical universe over and over
7 spirits
8 infinity or the Supreme Being. - will continue this way 4ever

I drew an analogy between fundamentalist christians who base all their faith in ONE book and scientologists who base all their faith in ONE book.
