True Crime Fanatics discussion

Definition Of Scientology: a religious system based on the seeking of self-knowledge and spiritual fulfillment through graded courses of study and training. It was founded by American science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard (1911–86) in 1955.

They also believe that they can live like 1 million years and close off from their families. Like there are videos of people trying to talk to loved ones that are in this, and they aren't allowed to respond or look. It's actually so sad. And they try to recruit people by giving a free "personality test" then you sign a waiver but it actually signs you up for the cult. And there are big buildings of people recruiting and when people warn other people to not go into the buildings, most of the time the recruiters run back into the building locking the doors and blurring the windows so no one can see inside. It's actually insanity. Tom Cruise (in Scientology) said "I'm currently a level three Scientologist, which means I can smell colors. Once I reach level seven I will no longer need a skeletal system." Personally I don't think it's a religion but a cult. I mean (not a trustworthy place for news but have you been to Scientology TikTok? The amount of people that have escaped is so low because they will follow and harass you for the rest of your life. And videos of people before and after Scientology are actually so sad bc they look miserable. There's like a hierarchy of people they want out of Scientology but don't know how to help people get out.

This is literally my favorite cult of all times because it's still very active today and no one (hopefully) is treated like how the other cults treat their people.

Scientology is a cult that is a pain in the arse to leave. In fact, once you leave--which is in itself a difficult feat--they will stalk you. They will stalk you for a long long time. It is not uncommon for them to harass family & friends. Speaking out about their injustices and horrible cult behaviors can put one in serious danger.

However, you can watch videos about the time Scientology was getting clowned by 4Chan users and their reputation being tarnished. Quite a funny watch.
