What is your take on Scientology? Is it a religion ...

Lido,

    I don't like it and I don't agree with it.

My take is to leave it.

Here is one site that discusses several issues that former scientologists have with this organization.

Yikes Jay once again comes up with a great answer and great link.  And Lido I think you know it's not the best thing since sliced bread.lol. A more likely quote would be this is the "church" ..yikes ..that says to the starving children "Let them eat Cake"  as one of the French Queens said..( it was not M.A.) but whom ever. This  cult is for people with more Dollars than Cents. My take is  YIKES!

It's a cult that brainwashes their members. Why would anyone want to forget their past. You learn from your mistakes. That' why we forgive people. Correct the problems then move on. I don't need people to help me to forget the past. Espeacially if it's based on how much money I make. These people have been caught stealing government documents and trying to imprison people that don't think like them. Sound like a bunch of criminals to me. They are known to defraud and abuse their members. And, also charges a fee for their so called church services. We are in the New Testament now we don't have to tithe 10% of our earning. We are allowed to give what we can afford. God is angry (Romans 1:18) with these false regilion and preachings. Remember the Lord is a jealous God (Nahum 1:2). Good Luck.  

Lido, It definetely is not a religion.  You might call it Behavioral Science.  It is a cult which main purpose is to make its memv\bers feel good........zoe

I believe if you are looking for the right religion you should choose the one that rightfully tells you that Jesus is the only way to the Father,(Christian),it teaches love...

Scientology is the brain (?) child of Ron L. Hubbard who is also the well known author of many Science Fiction (with emphases on "Fiction") stories.

Does that answer our question?                                    

Can't be the best thing since sliced bread since scientoloy is of the devil.. Like all religions, it is false.  Someone takes some Scripture, adds their point of view and Voila, a new false religion is born.. Study how other false religions got started and see how "luke-warm" Christians help start all of them. From Catholicism to Mormanism to Muslims,  all false, however, Muslims of long ago did go by Scripture and believed in God Almighty, then some guy come along and profess to be the Messiah {Mohammed} and inserted his name in the Bible and then had the Bible rewritten and it is now called the Koran, and thru many years, people believe it because that is all they know.  If one grows up in a false religion and has never been taught the truth, then that is how the lies of a false religion stays alive.  I was fortunate. When I was a young woman MANY years ago, the Lord witnessed to me the truth, I found Jersus as my Savior and never looked back!  I have tried to witness to my family, but some are determined to die a Catholic and let some saint get them into Heaven.  My advice, just stick with Gods word, and you just can't go wrong then.
