Here is a recent review on Amazon for Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health. <\/a>
\nAnyone who’s either not a Scientologist or has not kept his or her head buried in fine peat for the last fifty years knows. Dianetics is an early self-help books penned back in 1950s by Science Fictions writer El. Rom Hubbard. It was so successful that Mr. Hubbard spawned a religion off of it which continues to this day as one of the oddest most sue-happy organizations on Earth.<\/p>\n

People who diss Dianetics\/Scientology are either:
\n1.) Incredibly suppressive and don’t want people to get better
\n2.) psychiatrists who will lose their cosey, [SIC] governmet [SIC] funded jobs
\n3.) Ignorant on what it is, as they haven’t read the book, or if they did, went by words they didn’t understand and therefore didn’t get the subject matter
\n4.)miseducated; [SIC] their cousin’s uncle’s father’s dog told them it was evil or something, and they’ve adhered to that ‘fact’
\n5.) were [SIC] part of Scientology at some point and did something bad to a Scientologist and are trying to point the finger at them in order to make themselves feel better.<\/p>\n

SO, If you want to know what Scientology IS, rather than the BS stories of how we are a ‘cult’ or worship aliens or whatever ingenious other rumor some idiot concocted:
\n1.) Read Dianetics and make sure to look up any confusing words
\n2.) Find [SIC] a local church and TALK to the people. A bunch of them, too. Do they seem wierd? [SIC] Did they take off their shoe and hit you with it? No, but that would be really funny… Get to know how honest and ethical they ARE.
\n3.) Read another book, like Fundamentals of thought, or do a basic course. Come on, it’s like 10-30 bucks, and it is life changing.
\nTHEN, you will be educated enough and will have a better idea.
\nI, myself, have used what L. Ron Hubbard wrote and have helped numerous people get off of drugs. I’ve also helped people learn to study, and learning how to learn is NOT taught at schools.( god, I wish I had this info before I went to Oxford, as it would have made my education easier..)
\nGET THE TRUTH. NOT THE MALICIOUS LIES THAT RABID ANTAGONISTS LIKE TO SPOUT OUT. They’re not cool, really…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No, Scientologists don’t worship aliens, they worship El Ron Hubbard. As for this person claiming to have gone to Oxford, I believe Mr. Hubbard claimed the same thing, and he was lying too.<\/p>\n

Actually, this reviewer is doing critics everywhere a service by spewing such nonsense, she’s taking a clue from Tom Cruse! The only person who has managed to do more harm to Scientology than any critic.<\/p>\n
