Sometimes you people amaze me! Are you serious with this or did you just get carried away a little in your rebuttle? You really think that Fear of the Nazi's had to be taught to the German public by "outside forces"?

Come on man, how about you "SOURCE" that bullshit! Then when you are looking it up you might realize that the majority of Germans were far from Nazi's and just scared shitless of them...

You must pay to attend scientology teachings.

Condemning to hellfire is hardly a punishment for a non-believer. Now, having pamphlets spread across your neighbourhood stating that you are a child molester is another story.

If you don't buy the source, listen to the guy's child.
in the case of islam, ppl voluntarily give money to mosques at the end of ramadan because it is mandatory on them by religious texts

i say voluntarily becuz thers no checklist, no attendence list, no record of who gave wat, just a donation box somewhere where ppl go and drop in money that is used for community welfare.

so the religion says pay a percentage of ur net income to the poor and the mosque collects it and distributes it

nobody ever knows if u gave ur money or not

similar case can be made for christianty and judiasm

IS THAT THE CASE WIT SCIENTOLOGY????

i dont see scientology's theories being any worse than any other religion including Christianity. Really the only difference here is that we are in a different stage of development for the religion, scientology is still very young and in its infant years. Im sure Christianity faced alot of the same doubt and laughter when it was originally created by man. In a couple thousand years Scientology will be a legit religion or as legit as any religion can ever be.

As things stand now, it remains to be seen whether Scientology as an organized entity will survive to see the New Year. They are being hit by PR disaster after PR disaster, their recruitment is in the shitter and people are leaving in record numbers.

I predict an FBI raid at Gilman Hot Springs before the year is out, and David Miscavige is going down.

Haha, basically. For people who want more info on it, here's a video of their different levels of training routines. Scientology: TR Demo

Here's a more detailed explanation of each tier in the training routines. Secrets of Scientology: The TRs


It's pretty interesting, after researching it a little bit and watching some scientology videos of the followers interacting with people, you can practically see their Training Routines at work.
