How do people get into Scientology?
Usually by word of mouth, often by reading a book or seeing promotional
materials or visiting a church of Scientology. Sometimes a person becomes
interested by meeting a Scientologist and seeing that he has
"something" -- a positive attitude toward life, certainty,
self-confidence and happiness -- which they too would like to have.
Fundamentally, people get into Scientology because they want to improve
something in their lives or because they want to help others improve
themselves and thus create a better civilization.

And now for the truth
There's a lot of wishful thinking in amongst those whoppers.
There are a number of ways that people fall victim to Scientology, among
them being the well known "free personality test" which has
become something of a joke around the world; something that people now
recognize as a Scientology scam. In that scam victims are told to take
a "free personality test" which contains a lengthy list of
freakishly bizarre questions which the subject answers by filling in
little circles or boxes. It doesn't matter how someone answers these
bizarre questions. Regardless of how they mark the "test,"
the Scientology organization always informs the mark that they have
serious problems which needs to be addressed and -- Scientology to the
rescue! -- fortunately there's a way to correct them.
In some cases victims have reported that Scientology ringleaders have
told them that if they didn't get these "prroblems" fixed by
Scientology, they would be dead within a few months. You wouldn't think
that people these days would fall for such an obvious fraud yet they do.
Another less notorious way that the criminal enterprise suckers people in
is through another one of their frauds, this one called "WISE"
or "World Institute of Scientology Enterprises." This is one
of the many criminal arms of Scientology and this particular one was
ordered disolved by the IRS many years ago yet, contrary to that judicial
order, continues to rook and swindle the ignorant.
What "WISE" does is the criminal enterprise convinces someone
in a company - some corporation or business; often a dentist office --
to start adopting a "business practive" that was
"developed" by Scientology's mad messiah L. Ron Hubbard. The
company that buys into the scam impliment some of Hubbard's more fascist
and idiotic, unworkable ideologies about business yet implimenting these
notions are secondary to the true motives for sneaking Scientology into
businesses: The "WISE" company has to give the criminal
enterprise money for the dubious "privelage" of using Hubbard's
"technology."
Companies that have a manager that opens the door to the Scientology
con artists don't know what they're opening themselves up to unless
they're working in cahoots with Scientology and are getting a piece of
the take.
What does that mean for the employees of a company that gets taken over
by Scientology through the front group "WISE?" There have
been a lengthy series of reports by ex-employees of such companies
alleging discriminatory policies and the constant demands and pressures
of employees to sign on with Scientology by taking some of the criminal
enterprise's endless "courses" -- all to improve the business,
of course, that brought in Hubbard's "technology."
Another more notorious way that Scientology manages to sucker people
in is through their endless series of fake fronts. Fake fronts like
NarCONon and
Criminon are probably the most
well known -- and notoriously criminal -- fake fronts. If Scientology
actually worked and could exist in the markestplace of ideas on its own,
Scientology's ringleaders wouldn't need to create such fake fronts to
hide their true identity behind. Indeed, their latest public relations
scam "Volunteer Ministers" is just more of the same dishonest
way that Scientology acquires victims.
And, of course, the biggest way that Scientology gets followers is by
lying to them about what Scientology really is. Potential victims are
not informed about the Galactic ruler named Xenu, the invisible aliens
from outer space that Scientology calls "Body Thetans" which
followers are eventually told infest humans. And of course potential
victims aren't informed about the massive
criminal history of Scientology.
Potential victims are told whoppers about L. Ron
Hubbard's Navy record and are certainly nebver told about
Hubbard's life history. If people
know about such things before signing on with the criminal enterprise,
only the mentally unfortunate would buy into the scams.
