Brandon Reisendorf was convicted of vandalizing a place of worship? What do they worship? Certainly not God. L Ron Hubbard? AND...why in the world would someone dedicate their whole life to becoming clear, if even the leader and founder of this whole mess they call a religion was obviously not happy with his life? L Ron Hubbard had bouts of depression and even mania. Hmmm...could he have been mentally ill? I think indeed he was.
sharethemselves!.. it's the MOST narcissistic not religion but cult EVER! it's all about them and their "spirituality" and "eternity"... i mean you have people who disconnect from their family because they actually believe that to remain in contact with a ex-member family member or anyone who is against scientology would "impeded their eternity"..
how effed up is that? yeah, like a "real" religion would want you to disconnect from your own family because they might ruin your eternity? and what kind of person would also care more about their own little selfish eternity then their family?
UTTERLY NUTS!..
they claim they want to help and save mankind, but it all begins with them! only when they are the best they can be, and when they are the best they can be, can they even begin to help others! really? REALLY??!!..
AND OF COURSE, how do they become their best selves? why taking courses and classes and auditing and moving up the bridge for years and years and paying more and more and more!and we are talking BIG BUCKS!..
never mind, that no "true" religion would charge anyone anything for their spirituality or to learn about the darn religion in the first place!
never mind, if it was so so great and the goal was to help and save mankind, why charge anyone ANYTHING? why not give away this great information for free to the world?...
Who do they think L. Ron Hubbard was? Had they never heard of him before joining? Who are they then told he was after they joined? Does he have a completely different made-up backstory about walking the earth many moons ago and performing miracles or fighting aliens in outer-space? What's the deal there?
Wouldn't it be insanely easy for them to just google his name or ask someone outside the church who he is and find out he was a mentally ill science fiction writer who died of a stroke?
One of the most hilariously ironic aspects of the church is the labeling of those that speak out against the church as 'suppressive people' when it's Scientologists themselves who evidently suppress almost all knowledge of the outside world to their followers. They're the suppressive people.
