They believe in Xenu, an evil extra-terrestrial entity that killed inter-galactic assassins in our vulcanos thousands of years ago, releasing their spirits to possess the human race and other weird stuff. This Xenu is responsible for mankind believing in God and Jesus as he implanted these beliefs in the human minds, I guess. I mean, it’s just so many unbelievably wacko stuff that I can’t fathom it!

They’re quite a dangerous cult, in fact, created by a sci-fi writer ” title=”Very Happy” />, this Ron Hubbard and his dianetics principles. They’ve grown quite rapidly, especially in the US. I’m appaled at how these ¬´religions¬ª even have followers… :” title=”Question” />

Some marital pressure, perhaps? I once read that Cruise was expecting that their forthcoming son would be the Scientology ¬´messiah¬ª so to speak, which left Holmes quite freaked out…

No wonder, hun? :rolleyes:

Look at the Mormons…same kind of thing.

The word Scientology literally means “the study of truth.” It comes from the Latin word “scio” meaning “knowing in the fullest sense of the word” and the Greek word “logos” meaning “study of.”

Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, others and all of life. The Scientology religion comprises a body of knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these:

Man is an immortal, spiritual being. His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime. His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized and those capabilities can be realized. He is able to not only solve his own problems, accomplish his goals and gain lasting happiness, but also achieve new, higher states of awareness and ability.

In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by personally applying its principles and observing or experiencing results.

Through Scientology, people all over the world are achieving the long-sought goal of true spiritual release and freedom.
