When you think about Scientology, what do you think of first? Which aspects
of Scientology are important, which are essential, and which ones can you
take or leave? You be the judge.
Practicing a specific religion is one of the universally recognized
inalienable rights. Unless you are living in a country where people don?t
have the option for religion, you have the freedom to choose and practice
your own religion. Included in your thousands of options is the religious
cult called Scientology.
But is it really an option? According to ex-members of the religion, it is
not. They have been there and have done everything that the cult told them to
do and they came out dissatisfied. Why ex-scientology members find their
previous religion revolting? Here are some of the reasons they will give you.
It is not a true religion, it is a money-making machine.
L. Ron Hubbard and his religion is out there to get you?and your money. Even
if you have plenty to spend, Scientology is still a very poor option.
According to ex-members, the religion will drain you until you have sold your
estate, your car, and even yourself. There is no limit to how much it will
take from you because it will strip you off of your possessions.
If the ex-members are not credible enough, you better look up the courts�
rulings on Scientology in many countries and states. At Los Angeles Superior
Court, for example, Judge Breckenridge ruled that the religious cult is �a
vast enterprise to extract maximum amount of money� from its members. The son
of the religion�s founder, L. Ron Hubbard Jr., claimed to the same thing with
many other members who have seen the true side of the religion.
You may not consider everything you just read to be crucial information about
Scientology. But don�t be surprised if you find yourself recalling and using
this very information in the next few days.
It is a trap.
Once you�re in, you can never get out. If you try, you�ll suffer innumerable
threats, you�ll get framed for criminal acts you didn?t commit, you and your
family will be harassed and basically, your civil rights will be violated and
taken away from you. This is an organization�s policy, it is called �fair
game� policy. It is, simply put, a policy that tries to do everything the
organization could possibly do to silence anyone who attempts to give it bad
publicity. It is also applicable to any member that tries to pull out.
It takes away your freedom.
The religion is bent on attacking its members and the general public�s
freedom of speech. In one of the religion�s scriptural texts, the
�Introduction to Scientology Ethics�, any criticism, anti-Scientology texts,
letters and speeches, and even testifying publicly against the religious cult
are categorized as �Suppressive Acts�. These are high crimes and are
punishable according to the laws of the religion.
Further, while at the outset, the religion seems to give its members the
freedom to make their own decisions in terms of their beliefs, once a person
becomes a member, all this are gone. Forget about the promises of the freedom
to subscribe to your own religion beliefs. Forget about the promise of
Scientology�s compatibility with other religions. Once you get in, all this
are no more.
It disconnects you from your family and the rest of the world.
It is not uncommon to hear members who can�t talk or be with their families.
Scientology has a disconnection policy that orders to stop all communications
with one�s family members or friends if any of them are antagonistic against
the religion or has expressed anything against Scientology.

Well said, but to a degree this is true of ALL cults, and all "religions"
started out that way - as cults.
Thus the disillusioned, victimized $cientologist learns the dishonest,
deceptive nature of religion in general.
Want the "total freedom" that $cientology falsely promises?
Free yourself of ALL your religious brainwashing and you'll be far closer to
it.
In $cientology as in all such mind-controlling scams, they tell you to think
for yourself but then, for purposes of their own, put endless obstacles to
doing that in your way
