Anyone interested in Scientology should read Tom Cruise, the unauthorized biography, by Andrew Morton. An excellent overall view of the fanaticism, gullibility and sadness of its members.
Scientology is not a 'religion.' Scientology is a dangerous cult that abuses its members to the point of death. It bilks its members of hundreds of thousands of dollars. It thrives on intimidation, threats and lies. How can any such organization claim to be working for the good of anyone? How much more evidence do we need?
I now many of you who will read what follows will dismiss it out of hand. It is your decision but many of you will have the facts in your possession; however for the sake of balance it needs to be stated. "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4: 1-5
