    L. Ron Hubbard was asked once when his books started selling if he is making a lot of money. He said "If I wanted to make a lot of money, I would start a religion." So he did, so he did.

    I was actually in Scientology for 5 years. I lost my wife and I lost everything when I decided I wanted to think for myself and do something better with my life. After seeing so many videos on UA-cam about everyone else's suffering I'm seriously considering writing a book. I've been to Flag and I've seen some unbelievable things. And you guys are right it is a very scary cult that is very hard to get out of. But I was freed back in 2007.

    A proffessor at my college told me about how one of his students talked to a scientology group who had a small stand set up and they offered to take him to lunch. He went missing fell off the grid nobody could find him. 2 years later he shows up at the profs class and tells him how they locked him in the car drove him to a secret location kept him captive and brainwashed him for months (inducing stockholm syndrome and all that). He was sent out to hand out pamphlets when his conditioning broke and he realized what they did and he ran. Hed only been free for a few weeks. Im not (personally) making this story up for entertainment purposes. Dont trust scientologists. Stay thr hell away from them. And never take the offer of a free meal from them.

      I heard this story many times. I think it's more of an urban legend. Still, L. Ron Hubbard was a real crook. He even joined with Aliester Crowley in the 40s and was into demonology for a while. He was arrested numerous times for con games and stealing funds from other organizations. After his last arrest, a lawyer friend told him to start a religion. "it's guaranteed to make you rich". So he did. He also took a ton of drugs all his life.

      Listen to ex members and you'll find that many of them have not read or understood Dianetics that started the religion. Second generation sceintologists especially. If you understand that fully you'll understand it all.
      Non Scientologists think members are crazy but members think that non members are crazy.
      And scientology has built a world that does not tollerate the crazy world quirks.
      It believfes it has the answers to all the worlds criminality, insanity and wars but that even those at the top of society engage in these.
      Our presidents are criminals!
      The 'wog' world is geared up to keep good people down while letting crazy people run the world. That's why members think they can save it but need to protect it heavily from those who would seek to destroy it.
      I don't like the church but love the prinicples and tech and it's not at all crazy as it would appear from a limited understanding, but in fact makes more sense than anything on this planet.

Once I did some research online I distanced myself. 4 years later I had moved down south and as a laugh I signed up online to be an ordained minister. A week later I get a letter from The Church of Scientology saying "we see you are an ordained minister now". I wrote them a nasty cease and desist letter. 12 years later out of the blue and having moved several times I start getting their monthly newsletter. If you become involved with that cult at any time, they will stalk you till the day you die.

      I'm surprised that he was even allowed to date a "wog" (a non-Scientologist). And it's a good thing she left him alone, because he'd would have tried to recruit her into Scientology, as it would have been his duty. Your mother dodged a bullet, thank goodness.

      @Jane Marsee Although I believe the earth is round, someone showed me a documentary of over 100 different reasons why the Earth could be flat. Some were with out question very strange and conflict the reality of the Earth being round. To make things even weirder, scientists all around the world for centuries have never had any explanation or simply don't respond to the most severely conflicting studies that were done that simply wouldn't happen if the Earth was round. Pretty interesting stuff actually. I for one think we should all trust the govt and take their word for the earth being round because we have all been to space before, special effects don't exist and the govt never hides anything or lies to their people, ever.
      But Scientology on the other hand is pretty far fetched with no proof of realism or has a leg to stand on when logical questions come up.

    President: You see, Stan, there is a reason for people feeling sad and depressed. [leans in] An alien reason. It all began 75 million years ago. Back then there was a galactinc federation of planets which was ruled over by the evil Lord Xenu.
    Xenu: Ho ho ho ho ho ho.
    President: Xenu thought his galaxy was overpopulated, [Xenu gives his orders] and so he rounded up countless aliens from all different planets, [the roundup is shown] and then had those aliens frozen. [one by one, the aliens are frozen]
    Xenu: [laughing over his plan] Wa ha ha ha!
    President: The frozen alien bodies were loaded onto Xenu's galactic cruisers, which looked like DC-8s, except with rocket engines. The cruisers then took the frozen alien bodies to our planet, to Earth, and dumped them into the volcanoes of Hawaii. [a shot of the frozen aliens encased in ice being dropped from the orange cruisers] The aliens were no longer frozen, they were dead. The souls of those aliens, however, lived on, and all floated up towards the sky. But the evil Lord Xenu had prepared for this.
    Xenu: Wa ha ha ha!
    President: Xenu didn't want their souls to return! And so he built giant soul-catchers in the sky! [the soul-catchers are shown] The souls were taken to a huge soul brain-washing facility, which Xenu had ALSO built on Earth. [the souls are watching a movie screen with 3D glasses] There the souls were forced to watch days of brainwashing material [Egyptian gods, Jesus carrying the Cross, and a bronze Buddha statue are shown] which tricked them into believing a false reality. Xenu then released the alien souls, which roamed the earth aimlessly in a fog of confusion. At the dawn of man, the souls finally found bodies which they can grab onto. They attached themselves to all mankind, which still to this day causes all our fears, our confusions, and our problems.

    Im going to give you all a true story about when my and my best friends went into a church of scientology in NY:
    We were 14 at the time, and were curious to see what all the fuss was about. We entered the building, and 10 people behind a counter turned and looked at us with giant smiles. The place looked like a school library, and had a lot of wood paneling. They asked if we were members, and we said we were just curious about the religion.
    They all came over to us at once and started talking happily, and then led us over to a tv screen, made us sit down, and played a vhs recording. It had super bad effects, like one you would see in an old commercial. It kept talking about this being the last salvation if we wanted to get to the 'next realm'. We got freaked out, thinking it would be a brainwashing video so I faked that I had to make a phone call so we could escape. The people looked shook, and glared as we scuttled out the door. We looked behind us, and all 10 of them were in the glass doorway. They just stared with blank faces as we hurried down the street.

None of these videos cover it, but a three of the kids there, she packed up their dinner and wished them a good evening at their part time job at the publishing building. Which they walked to, because they had to walk everywhere.

    I was once part of the Neko Croissant cult. It got shut down in 2003 but was active from 1953-2003. It was a Japanese cult that worshipped a giant white cat head named "lord croissant of the neko empire" and claimed that the cats we know today are secretly our masters so the clan was encouraged to promote them as much as possible. Many famous Japanese animators, artist, politicians, and soldiers were part of it. They made us watch many anime shows and films that constantly featured cat related things such as Tskukuyomi moon phase, sailor moon, flcl, ETC. They had a policy that said that if the government ever sends in armed forces to dismantle our establishment, the 10 highest ranking leaders of the cult would fight the police head on with katanas and rifles while the 10 next high ranking members would help everyone else commit Seppuku while they did it themselves.
    but that was the only harsh thing the cult had compared to the scientologist, Jesus Christ XD.
    EDIT: I'm sure you'd like to know how the cult got shut down, well as you expected it's like i said before, the Japanese government sent in the self defense force (the country's national armed forces) and made mass arrest. My legal guardian didn't think it was right for children to get stabbed in the chest or decapitated so he, me, and some others escaped.
    Some more info on the cult's beliefs: the cult also believed that lord croissant was in another universe and would one day return and give his believers many freedoms and prosperity. If anyone were to try and leave, well the head council (the cult leaders) would put a vote on what to do. They would do one of three things: Wish them good luck on the outside world and provide them with a white cat. prison them and basically "change their decisions". Or in some cases kill them (which thankfully wasn't the most common choice). And anyone could've pretty much joined, I'm not Japanese but they did recruit foreigners (although there were very few of them). Plus I grew up in the cult, it was my parents who joined.
    Now what do I think of the cult? I personally see it now as messed up, but at the time I didn't know anything else outside of it and was only allowed to go to a town or city on special holidays. But I'm happy that the cult got shut down and ever since I converted to christianity, I've felt much happier XD.
    The cult started out with about 230 founding members in 1953 but during it's height from 1993-2003, it had an estimate of over 50,000 member nation wide. The cult founder Sajiro Masanurei was a former imperial soldier and politician. After the country's defeat in world war two, he aimed to help Japan prosper again by heavily investing into the agriculture and food industry, he owned many farms and gained massive profit from either selling the farms to big companies or selling the fruits and vegetables he grew on them. He soon became very wealthy and when he returned to his town in Gifu prefecture, he gathered his closest friends, family, and any "volunteers" to join him in his new home on an island off the coast of Tottori prefecture. Over time the cult would gain thousands of more members and thus required more bases or "cat colonies" as they were called. Even in Tokyo and Osaka there were hideouts but the one I lived in was the second biggest in the central part of Yamanashi prefecture. There was a population of at least 10,000 if I recall correctly, while the largest was a hideout in Aomori with a population of 25,000.
    I didn't get to go outside the town very often (because they told me making contact with outsiders wasn't allowed until i was 17 with few exceptions. Although Japan has very strict and tough gun laws our cult still managed to gain access to many illegal fire arms since we often had members who were in the army, they could easily smuggle weapons to us and did a good job going undetected. During the 1980s, this was a time when Japan began to see a fairly large influx of foreign expat and contract workers (mainly coming from the united states) and took the chance to recruit some foreigners.I don't really know the story of my parents but somewhere along the line in 1993, I became their newest member as a toddler I guess. It was for 10 years i was trained in the ways of the cult, I honestly thought it was one of the greatest things that I ever experienced. I was taught how to cook for myself, how to fight, how to make important economic decisions, got to play with cats and watch anime propaganda featuring cats, and so on. The cult's main policies were to follow your dreams, as free thought and choice was a gift from lord croissant according to them. Other policies were to work hard not just for yourself but for your society as a whole, to be a free thinking person as long as it doesn't interfere with the rules of lord croissant. The cult had hoped to one-day recreate the Japanese empire and unite all of Asia under the neko empire. The only times I ever got to go outside the cult town was to either go to one of the other cult towns or go to a regular city for a special ceremony like a festival, wedding, or holiday like Christmas or new years.
    What got the military after the cult was a series of events from 1987-1999. From that point the cult would secretly cause a series of mass homicides, attacks, and working with branches of the Yakuza and other allied cults. Our cult was one of the main groups that helped fund the 1995 gas attack in tokyo that killed 12 and injured 4,000 more. Our cult leaders at the time were preparing for a mass uprising against the government and decided that causing some chaos would fuel their cause. However the majority of the head cult council were replaced by the secondary council (the back up and 2nd most powerful members of the cult). However although the new council stopped the attacks, the government was still on a man hunt for us. In 1999 one of our branches had opened fire at a local police station in Kyoto, but they followed one of the attackers to their hideout and made a full crack down on them. Then in 2000 our cult decided it was time to act, we needed to be strong enough to storm the government and overtake them before they crushed our momentum. From 2000-2003 we had prepared a period for war like what the imperial army did when they prepared to invade Manchuria in 1931. Thankfully by 2003 my hideout was instantly invaded and had our defenses broken. There was a large shoot out that resulted in the deaths of 72 of our members and 56 soldiers. However the rest of us were supposed to commit a mass suicide (and many did) but at least half of us evacuated instead and would regroup somewhere else.
    My legal guardian and I would move to Tokyo and live there for 7 wonderful years before I would move to the united states in 2011. I eventually went to my dad's state of Arkansas where I currently live today! I actually like it here because it reminds a lot of the farm life I had during my time in the cult, plus the people here love cats so it's like I never moved, only difference is that it's hot as hell due to the humid climate here XD. I think I'll one day move back to Tokyo just for the home feeling I get there, that and I want to make it in time for the summer olympics in 2020!

When they, basically, laughed in his face he started saying that psychiatrists were full of crap & that Scientology was the only way to free yourself from mental problems.
    A kid who's mom brought her son into Scientology to help him with his schizophrenia was stabbed to death by him. He had been arrested for, basically, bizarre behavior & sent to a mental health facility where he was brought back to reality & balanced out. The higher ups in Scientology forced her to take him off of his medication & on to a steady diet of vitamins. He killed her (I'm almost certain) about 2 weeks later. Sad but true. 😞

    I am glad that I left the science tology church in my area . And it was down to two members. I had checked it out because I thought it was going to be a church that studies science based on God's word due to the name boy I was wrong.
