Scientology is the religion of lies. They lie to you before you even
walk in the door of their places. The lie to you to get you to join.
They lie to you to get more and more money out of you. They will lie to
you when you finally realise the lies and try to leave.
When standing outside one of their places you will notice their "Church
of Scientology" sign. They call themselves a "Church". This is a lie.
There is no common worship or belief in God, in Scientology.
You notice the sign advertising a free personality test. This is a lie.
They are trying to get you in so that they can hard-sell to you. they
want your money. ALL of it.
You walk in the door. You see the sign "staff wanted". This is a lie. If
you "join staff" by signing their contract you will discover that you
have no right to pay and no pension. You will be a "volunteer" who is
forced to work for them otherwise you will have to pay for the courses
they pressure you into doing or persuade you to do by lying that if you
do the courses you will be succesful and make money.
You sit down to do the personality test. You ask them if it will take
long. They say "no". This is a lie. It will take yu about an hour to
answer the 200 stupid questions. Then you have to wait at least 30
minutes before they score it and can interview you.
While doing the test you look araound. You see a sign on the wall saying
that if you have a medical problem you should see a doctor. The sign
says they don't treat medical problems. This is a lie. If you a member
and you get ill you are labelled "PTS" and you will have to receive
counselling from them. They will discourage you from seeking medical
help.
So you finish the test. You get the results back. Again they lie. The
test is designed to exaggerate flaws in your character that they will
then exploit to sell to you.
They will probably succeed in selling you the Dianetics book. You go
away and read it. It is full of lies. It says Dianetics is a proven
science. That is a double lie. It is neither proven, nor is it a
science. The book says that a person once "Clear" has perfect recall.
That is a lie. They say a "Clear" can think out chess problems in a
fraction of the time it would take them if they were not Clear. This is
a lie. they say Clears live longer and have better health. A double lie.
You go back to them. You want to "go Clear". They tell you it can be
done with about 150 hours of Dianetics processing at about $10 per hour.
This is a lie. They know that this Diianetics processing will get you
nowhere and you will have to stop after about 20 hours. Then when you
stop they tell you that you need "Scientology auditing" instead and that
will work. This is a lie as well. This auditing will cost you $220 per
hour. Again they will tell you you will need 150 hours to reach the
state of Clear. They have pulled a "bait-and-switch" fraud on you. The
article you came in to buy has been snatched away from you. You now have
to pay 22 times as much for it.
You complain that it now costs too much. They tell you you can do it
cheaper through training to be an auditor yourself and co-auditing. This
is a lie. The standard of auditing you get from this is so poor that it
will get you nowhere. You will have to pay the $220 per hour for being
"repaired" then after that you will have to pay for all your auditing at
$220 per hour. They tell you that their auditors are highly trained
professionals. This is a lie. They are neither competent nor
professional. You receive this auditing at $220 per hour. You feel worse
and worse. The auditing goes on and on until you yourself ask to stop.
You are then told that you need "repair auditing" to put things right
and then you will be alright. This is a lie. Just a lie to get more
money out of you. You get your "repair" and the auditing starts again.
It goes on and on using up your money. You complain. The "C/S" will then
"review" your folder to check it for errors. This may take 5 days. They
will charge you $220 per hour to do this. This is a lie. They will
charge you the money but they will not do the work. It is a lie to
take so much money off you that you never complain again.
So you go back to auditing again. You have maybe paid up for 75 hours of
auditing or "C/Sing" at $220 per hour and gotten nowhere. You spend
more. You get nowhere. You complain. They tell you that you need to go
to an "Advanced Org" where you will get better auditing. This is a lie.
It is more expensive as well.
So you go to the "Advanced org" for auditing after being told that "you
will get more gains per hour of auditing than you have ever gotten out
of Scientology so far". This is a lie. It will be just as bad. It is
more expensive as well. You go through the same routine as above.
Finally the C/S "spends 5 days reviewing your folder". This is a lie of
course. And since the C/S is a Class XII this review costs $440 per
hour. Your money is going fats. they want to sting you for such a huge
amount that you will never ever complain again. You have spent in excess
of $33,000 and gotten nowhere as well as maybe 2 to 3 years in this
fruitless pursuit of the "State of Clear" that they lied to you about.
You will probably feel much worse than you did the day before you first
walked though the door of a Scientology building. They will tell you
that all will be well on the "OT levels". This is a lie, unless
telepathically talking to your dead space-alien infestation is of proven
benefit.
So after 2 or 3 years you finally work out that you have been conned out
of your money. but the "Church" of Scientology, from the outset,
promises that it will give a refund if you are not satusfied. This is a
lie. This only counts for services received not more than 3 months ago.
They have been extracting money out of you for 2 to 3 years always
promising a solution. You cannot get that back, only your recent
donations. They promise to refund you in full. This is a lie. They take
4% for handling it. They promise from the outset that the only penalty
is that you can no longer receive services from them. This is a lie.
Inorder to get YOUR money back from them, whether that be money you have
spant in the last 3 months or money you have on account with them, you
will be forced to sign an agreement that you will never criticise them
in the future. In this way they silence all possible dissenters so that
this scam can be played on unsuspecting people time and time again.
