Why does Scientology say that…

well

something (somewhere, I’ll look it up soon/sometime…)…

something like that Scientology is “compadible” with Christianity (or did they specifically say Catholic >.>’…)

when they apparently have…

“When a Scientologist joins the Sea Org, he signs a contract agreeing to serve for 1 billion years (no typo - 1,000,000,000 years). Because Scientologists believe in re-incarnation, the Sea Org member is expected to return and serve again in his or her next life.”
I’ll go see if I can find more evidence that they believe in re-incarnation…

but… about the leaked material, such as saying that our Lord Jesus Christ is an ALIEN? is just breaking the boundaries.

oh and note to any scientologists. this post is NOT a message attacking or anything. however, this is simply just asking why there is a strong contradiction in what the COS says they are comp…

(hmm…funny, reading about these kinds of things after reading Maximum Ride…hmm…)
 
A billion years:eek:

I wonder if that’s even legal:shrug: Ahhhh… I doubt that I’ll still be by then but I can always hope:D
 
Scientology is a) gnostic, and b) a cult. They are deeply invested in getting new converts but they are aware that laying all their beliefs out at the outset will scare converts away. So they reveal details of their beliefs in small doses, corresponding to the victim’s willingness to spend large amounts of cash. On top of that, they have great disdain for anything non-Scientology and that includes Christianity, so they see nothing wrong with lying about their beliefs to potential converts in order to help draw people in. But once a person is deep into it, their “truth” is revealed. Scientology teaches far worse things about Christ than the idea that he was an alien. Read all about OTVIII here.
 
I’ve met a few Scientology people. Much of their moral code for day in day out looks like it was taken from traditional Christian ideas (just without the Christ bit). So in the day in day out be nice don’t kill etc. I think there are some similarities, but thats all I’ve seen.

Forgive me if I sound rude, but what? There’s no “be nice” in Scientology. They teach that non-Scientologists are infested with alien spirits called “body thetans” who sap us of our free will, that we are are all pond scum, and that we deserve any abuse heaped on us. L. Ron Hubbard instituted a policy called “Fair Game” where the church could go after anyone who was even slightly critical of them, and that it was OK to use any means necessary to silence them. They teach that there is no such thing as objective right and wrong, and they define ethics as "“the actions an individual takes on himself to ensure his continued survival across the dynamics. It is a personal thing that an ethical person does by his own choice.” In other words, ‘every man for himself’ and ‘only the strong survive’. They consider themselves to be higher beings with all the feelings of entitlement that designation brings with it.

If there is any religion out there that can be called anti-Christian, it is Scientology. You can Google any of this and find out all about it.
 
My experience with them is limited to the few people I have known and their understanding. What goes on at the “higher” levels I am unaware and don’t want to speculate, but I was responding the the questions about the comparison.
 
I met a Scientologist outside their London info centre, he claimed to be a Christian. I just laughed.
 
My sister dated a Scientologist once. He was a real creep, but I’m not sure that had anything to do with his religion:p

I checked out their beliefs once and I was “surprised”:eek: at what I discovered. It sounded like something come out of from a science fiction novel.
 
I worked for a company whose ownership and management were all scientologists. The owner, although charismatic and charming, was an egomaniacal control freak who probably is one of the single most dangerous people I’ve ever known in my life–he was totally bent on playing mindgames and through that, gaining complete control of EVERYONE in his life. After that experience, I made a vow that I would never work for or have to have any dealings with a scientologist as long as I live. Someone mentioned the word “creepy” above and I totally agree.

Glad

Which makes perfect sense because the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer prior to becoming a prophet / cult leader.

Ah all is explained:D He wrote cheesy science fiction novels and decided that being a cult leader was his calling in life. I wonder if they worship Elvis:ehh:
 
My sister and her husband are Scientologists, and they’ve just gotten wierder and wierder as they’ve gotten more “clear”
  1. The terminology they use in every day life is gross. “Communications” instead of talking, “clear,” etc. It’s pretty repulsive just to be “in-comm” with them as I feel like I am being examined and evaluated for everything I say or do or feel.
  2. You cannot trust a scientologist. They can, and will, use everything you do or say against you. I love my sister, but I have witnessed her and her DH do this to me, to my husband, to my father, and to my other siblings. They feel that anything is fair game if it furthers their call.
  3. They talk about intentions, and that if you put an intention out there, then it will become true. OK, here’s my intention. Get my sister out of this cult, let her kids be normal. Boom. Didn’t happen. Big surprise.
  4. They never admit to being scientologiests. This is the wierdest thing. My sister will not talk about God, is clearly uncomfortable if I even say grace (G-forbid, if I bless myself or my children in front of her!). She will talk about the session she just had or the courses she’s taken, and she told me all about the e-meter and how wonderous it is.
All I can say is that in my very personal experience, I see a lot of similarities between my sister and BIL and Tom Cruise’s odd public behavior. My sister is extremely submissive now (was highly stubborn before!) to her husband, he is a manipulative, selfish person and the deeper they get into COS, the more manipulative, secretive, and selfish they become.

I pray for her, and especially for my niece and nephew, every day. I pray no one here gets sucked into COS. It is truly awful. Worst of all, I don’t think it makes my sister happy, except that it makes her DH happy.

They don’t all know what happened to Lisa McPherson and others. :mad:
 
no wonder tom cruise is losing the plot…
jumping on couches…
next it will be showing us his own personal ufo…
 
I used to think it was merely goofy but I have become convinced that it is actually malevolent. A sitting Judge in the United States once said that “if the mafia was a religion, it would be Scientology.”

That they enjoy any protection as a religion is a scandal and a shame. I think that it would be a credit to all religions and all religious if we make it very clear that what they are, has no commonality with what we are, and that we do not want to be lumped in with them, nor them with us.
