Scientology is not written with disrespect toward God. It doesn't worship something that is evil. It is scientific, mathematical, and spiritual. The black community has to check it out and see what's there. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but you have to take a look.

WHAT DOES SCIENTOLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Scientology

Scientology

Scientology is a body of beliefs and related practices created by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, beginning in 1952 as a successor to his earlier self-help system, Dianetics.[6] Hubbard characterized Scientology as a religion, and in 1953 incorporated the Church of Scientology in Camden, New Jersey.[7][8] Scientology teaches that people are immortal beings who have forgotten their true nature.[9] Its method of spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counselling known as auditing, in which practitioners aim to consciously re-experience painful or traumatic events in their past in order to free themselves of their limiting effects.[10] Study materials and auditing sessions are made available to members on a fee-for-service basis, which the church describes as a "fixed donation".[11][12] Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States, Italy,[13][14] South Africa,[15] Australia,[16] Sweden,[17] the Netherlands,[18] New Zealand,[19][20] Portugal[21] and Spain;[22][23][24][25][26] the Church of Scientology emphasizes this as proof that it is a bona fide religion.

10 QUOTES WITH «SCIENTOLOGY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Scientology.
1
Rick Astley
Scientology always makes me think of that movie 'V' where that woman takes off her mask of human flesh to reveal her true, alien self.
2
Stephen Baldwin
Scientology is much more accepted in Hollywood than Jesus.
3
Jason Beghe
Scientology delivers what it promises under the guise of tearing away falsity, neuroses, psychoses. It creates a brainwashed, robotic version of you. It's a 'Matrix' of you, so you're communicating with people all the time using Scientology.
4
Stanley Clarke
Scientology is probably one of the most misunderstood things, and it's sad that it's so misunderstood.
5
Doug E. Fresh
Scientology is not written with disrespect toward God. It doesn't worship something that is evil. It is scientific, mathematical, and spiritual. The black community has to check it out and see what's there. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but you have to take a look.
6
Doug E. Fresh
Scientology is not a white religion. It is not just for white people.
7
Christopher Gorham
I have to say that the most important thing Scientology has given me is the ability to keep my integrity together.
8
Paul Haggis
In Scientology, in the Ethics Conditions, as you go down from Normal through Doubt, then you get to Enemy, and, finally, near the bottom, there is Treason.
9
Catherine Hicks
There's this great fear, and I find, lack of knowledge of Catholicism, just like I'm ignorant of other things. I think we should all visit each other's places of worship and get to know a priest, get to know a rabbi. It's not that scary. I think Scientology is scary, and I don't understand Jehovah's Witnesses, but I haven't spent time with them.
10
L. Ron Hubbard
Scientology is the study of knowingness. It increases one's knowingness, but if a man were totally aware of what was going on around him, he would find it relatively simple to handle any outnesses in that.
