“Cult?
You were educated, work for and vote for non scientology politicians and society. Have you not seen the news this current year that Trump has come to power. Politicians in the USA, america and Europe are luciferian, Aleister Crowley adorators and led by a White Brotherhood teocracy. It is you who is immersed and integrated into a child sacrificing and pedophile wog (non scientology) cult. And I don't see you expressing yourself against that.
Are you also a luciferic, Crowley adorator and White Brotherhood led unwitting accolite to them? Wel. De facto you are.
So you "grow toward the divine Creator"?
Why don't you take the log off of your eye first? Then come back and lecture me.”
“Cult”? Yes by definition Scientology is a cult. a religious group that is:
1) Exclusive. They may say, "We're the only ones with the truth; everyone else is wrong; and if you leave our group your salvation is in danger."
2) Secretive. Certain teachings are not available to outsiders or they're presented only to certain members, sometimes after taking vows of confidentiality
3) Authoritarian. A human leader expects total loyalty and unquestioned obedience.
So let’s take the Idea that Scientology is a religious group,
Scientology is a body of religious beliefs and practices developed in 1954 by American author L. Ron Hubbard (1911–86). Hubbard initially developed a program of ideas called Dianetics, which was distributed through the Dianetics Foundation. The foundation soon entered bankruptcy and Hubbard lost the rights to his seminal publication Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in 1952. He then recharacterized the subject as a religion and renamed it Scientology,[4] retaining the terminology, doctrines, the E-meter, and the practice of auditing.[5][6] Within a year, he regained the rights to Dianetics and retained both subjects under the umbrella of the Church of Scientology.
Now let’s take a look at: 1) Exclusive. “We’re the only ones with the truth, everyone else is wrong; if you leave our group your salvation is in danger."
First I must say from first hand experience, The Jehovah Witness practice this profusely and I see in your posts and others of like minded thought that I have seen and know of, The Scientologist also practice this whole heartedly. Now I have to say also that there are sects of Christianity and Judaism as well as Islamism that do the same. What we seem to have is a whole lot of MAN MADE RELIGIONS that can be called cults.
The Scientology religion was created around 60 or so years ago by one man that appeared to be deranged to some degree and I only say that from researching that particular human being and his sorry follies in life. The Jehovah Witnesses were also created not that far back. Their name did not come about until 1931 by a MAN calling him self Joseph Franklin Rutherford. Here are a few paragraphs of that ordeal.
According to instructions Russell left behind, his successor to the presidency would share power with an editorial committee and with the Watch Tower corporation's board of directors, whom Russell had appointed "for life." But vice president Joseph Franklin ("Judge") Rutherford soon set about concentrating all organizational authority in his own hands. A skilled lawyer who had served as Russell's chief legal advisor, he combined legal prowess with what opponents undoubtedly saw as a Machiavellian approach to internal corporate politics. Thus he used a loophole in their appointment to unseat the majority of the Watch Tower directors without calling a membership vote. And he even had a subordinate summon the police into the Society's Brooklyn headquarters offices to break up their board meeting and evict them from the premises. (Faith on the March by A. H. Macmillan, pp. 78-80)
After securing the headquarters complex and the sect's corporate entities, Rutherford turned his attention to the rest of the organization. By gradually replacing locally elected elders with his own appointees, he managed to transform a loose collection of semi-autonomous democratically-run congregations into a tight-knit organizational machine run from his office. Some local congregations broke away, forming such Russellite splinter groups as the Chicago Bible Students, the Dawn Bible Students, and the Laymen's Home Missionary Movement, all of which continue to this day. But most Bible Students remained under his control, and Rutherford renamed them "Jehovah's Witnesses" in 1931, to distinguish them from these other groups.
Now the MAN calling him self Charles Taze Russell is the one that started the whole shebang. It was called the Watchtower society and formed a large corporation in the late 1800’s.
So here is the correlation then, LRH creates the Dianetics science of things to make money and actually goes broke and looses his rights to his seminal piece of science fiction. He then comes back and creates the Religion of the Church of Scientology so he can continue to scam money from the brainwashed masses. Selling his wares so to speak and virtually using a religious activity to do it. It would seem that there is no better way in the human society than this to deviously suck the masses in and become rich, don’t you think?
Well Just as a side note we can go all the way back to the Roman Catholic Church and the council of Nicea in the 300’s and how that group of Luciferians managed to compile a series of books and rewrite them to control the masses. The ones that were left out and called heresy were destroyed as best as they could and even murdered human beings that were caught reading them. Could one call that a cult then that actually forced their BS on the masses and used bloody violence to enforce that belief system?
Okay back to Scientology and its one MAN that created his twisted little religion on whoever would pay $500 dollars to be audited and so forth.
In April 1953, Hubbard wrote a letter proposing that Scientology should be transformed into a religion.[82] As membership declined and finances grew tighter, Hubbard had reversed the hostility to religion he voiced in Dianetics.[83] His letter discussed the legal and financial benefits of religious status.[83] Hubbard outlined plans for setting up a chain of "Spiritual Guidance Centers" charging customers $500 for twenty-four hours of auditing ("That is real money ... Charge enough and we'd be swamped."). He wrote:
I await your reaction on the religion angle. In my opinion, we couldn't get worse public opinion than we have had or have less customers with what we've got to sell. A religious charter would be necessary in Pennsylvania or NJ to make it stick. But I sure could make it stick
So here is the exclusive stuff and a bit of that Authoritarian.
In the course of developing Scientology, Hubbard presented rapidly changing teachings that some have seen as often self-contradictory.[93][94] According to Lindholm, for the inner cadre of Scientologists in that period, involvement depended not so much on belief in a particular doctrine but on unquestioning faith in Hubbard.[93]
In 1966, Hubbard purportedly stepped down as executive director of Scientology to devote himself to research and writing.[64][95] The following year, he formed the ship-based Sea Organization or Sea Org which operated three ships: the Diana, the Athena, and the flagship the Apollo.[64][96] One month after the establishment of the Sea Org, Hubbard announced that he had made a breakthrough discovery, the result of which were the "OT III" materials purporting to provide a method for overcoming factors inhibiting spiritual progress.[96] These materials were first disseminated on the ships, and then propagated by Sea Org members reassigned to staff Advanced Organizations on land
These are just a few things that are and have been created as exclusive to this cult organization and I suspect that there have been quite a few folks that have been persecuted because they broke from LRH and his Machiavellian twisted BS. Appears that it all really does come down to the MONEY, HONEY, and any thing your mind can come up to make it is fair game.
One last mention on this exclusive piece, I have read the previous posts and seen the mean spirited responses to others on this thread. The entire thought of having the only truth and possibly become mentally violent with other members runs like a thick gold vein throughout most of the posts.
Time to look at Secretive. 2) Secretive. Certain teachings are not available to outsiders or they're presented only to certain members, sometimes after taking vows of confidentiality"
The Church of Scientology holds that at the higher levels of initiation ("OT levels"), mystical teachings are imparted that may be harmful to unprepared readers. These teachings are kept secret from members who have not reached these levels. The church says that the secrecy is warranted to keep its materials' use in context and to protect its members from being exposed to materials they are not yet prepared for.[134]
These are the OT levels, the levels above Clear, whose contents are guarded within Scientology. The OT level teachings include accounts of various cosmic catastrophes that befell the thetans.[161] Hubbard described these early events collectively as "space opera"
In April 1953, Hubbard wrote a letter proposing that Scientology should be transformed into a religion.[82] As membership declined and finances grew tighter, Hubbard had reversed the hostility to religion he voiced in Dianetics.[83] His letter discussed the legal and financial benefits of religious status.[83] Hubbard outlined plans for setting up a chain of "Spiritual Guidance Centers" charging customers $500 for twenty-four hours of auditing ("That is real money ...

I repeated that stuff above for a dual shot at the raw deceit and pure love of money of this man.
So here once again we have this business of charging 500 dollars to be audited, It appears here that one cannot achieve something that is called clearing or getting to that without being audited by some higher member that is some kind of auditor. So new members and what not are kept in the dark, until they can pay for an audit and be hooked up to something called an E-meter. This sounds fairly close to a mild Lobotomy and one has to come up with 500 dollars to start the process of becoming clear. My God Man how many people are gullible to this? (Give me 500 dollars and let me hook this electrical device up to you and once we begin you will be susceptible to whatever I may implant into your brain as it is being electrically shocked, MK-Ultra anyone?). The whole Sea.Org and OC III stuff falls into this secret shit does it not. Got to wonder how much it costs to board one of the Greek god named ships.
Now here comes the worship of the Man/god short and sweet. 3) Authoritarian. A human leader expects total loyalty and unquestioned obedience."
So here are just some things to consider,
The Ethics system regulates member behavior,[169][170] and Ethics officers are present in every Scientology organization. Ethics officers ensure "correct application of Scientology technology" and deal with "behavior adversely affecting a Scientology organization's performance", ranging from "Errors" and "Misdemeanors" to "Crimes" and "Suppressive Acts", as those terms defined by Scientology.
A Scientologist who communicates with a suppressive person risks being declared a Potential Trouble Source.[175][176] Defectors who turn into critics of the movement are declared suppressive persons,[177][178][179][180] and the Church of Scientology has a reputation for moving aggressively against such detractors.
The term Fair Game is used to describe policies and practices carried out against people the Church perceives as its enemies. Hubbard established the policy in the 1950s, in response to criticism both from within and outside his organization.[16][17] Individuals or groups who are "Fair Game" are judged to be a threat to the Church and, according to the policy, can be punished and harassed using any and all means possible.[16][17]
Hubbard and his followers targeted many individuals as well as government officials and agencies, including a program of covert and illegal infiltration of the IRS and other U.S. government agencies during the 1970s.[16][17] They also conducted private investigations, character assassination and legal action against the Church's critics in the media.[16] The policy remains in effect and has been defended by the Church of Scientology as a core religious practice
