I honestly have been reading up on scientology lately. It started when I'd heard about Cruise following it and was curious what about it had drawn him. Then I found a book by Hubbard at the Dollar store. It started out with common sense stuff like you 'when you really listen to others you learn about yourself as well.' Or that Medication often consists of chemicals that can harm your body. Well duh - that's why we have maximum dosages and such and why we want to avoid meds unless we truely need them. But then the book started to get confusing and talked a LOT about personality disorders. You could turn practically ANYTHING into a personality disorder if you look hard enough. I'm not looking to turn myself into a walking psychotic.
I wasn't aware of the alien theories and all. That sounds messed up. I did notice that many of the 'tenants' seemed borrowed and that actually bothered me the most. What was so original about this?? I think I could follow Buddism easier than I could follow Scientology.
(Plus Ron Hubbard looks ugly to me.
