If you ever hear about a Hollywood kook, odds are they are a member of the ‘Religion’, Scientology. Boasting of members such as Priscilla Presley, Kirstie Allie, John Travolta, and the man who’s lost his grip on reality lately, Tom Cruise.
If a former member speaks ill of this ‘religion’, you can expect to be harassed and a lawsuit filed and even be the victim of personal attacks.
L. Ron Hubbard, the Science Fiction writer, (Who once wrote ten giant books in a series called ‘Mission Earth’, which was readable at it’s start) began this religion after writing his book, ‘Dianetics’. This religion started in the 1950’s. L. Ron Hubbard was exposed as a liar after his life history, including traveling to Asia in his late teens, being pronounced dead 2 times in WW2, were all revealed to be one lie after another. He once claimed to be a nuclear physicist. Credible if it weren’t for his flunking out of his only class related to the subject¾Molecular and Atomic Physics.
His credibility took another blow when he was discovered to be married to two women at once! The complaint lodged against him by his second wife disappeared from court records. (probably by Scientology followers since they have a long history of breaking and entering followed by theft.) A copy was found of the complaint which stated that Mr. Hubbard strangled, beat, and tried to get his second wife to kill herself to prove her love to him. To top that off, he kidnapped their child and fled to Cuba. Perhaps he was seeking another person with his wonderful personality, Fidel Castro. He met this second wife, Sara Northrup, at a Cult meeting in the ‘Home of Everything Insane’…California. The Cult’s leader was a disciple of a known Satanist. Scientologists claim good ol’ Ron was going undercover working for Naval Intelligence. Of course there were 2 problems. One being why get married to a woman when you are already married, and 2, the Naval Intelligence never hired, spoke to, or even had a record of this far fetched excuse.
So, Ron was married later in life a third time. Perhaps this would be the ideal woman for Ron! Well, they did have a lot in common, such as the tendency to mastermind a covert operation against the United States Government. The Government had over 33,000 documents relating to Scientologists members committing crimes such as bugging, burglarizing, wiretapping, and stealing classified information from the government. Mary Sue Hubbard, his third wife was given a five year prison term. Mr. Hubbard himself was listed as a coconspirator.
What is Scientology, you may ask after I’ve spoken in length about the …ahem…Prophet Hubbard. Well, your mind needs to lose it’s engrams to become ‘Clear’. Even engrams from past lives! Once clear, the Scientologist is free to move on to a higher evolved life. How do you measure these engrams? Glad you asked. The Prophet Hubbard invented a highly sophisticated piece of machinery that could do this very thing! It consisted of two tin cans connected by wires. I am not kidding. This is connected to the E-Meter. This process of removing engrams is called auditing.. Hubbard claimed this procedure is based on scientific study. Another lie by the Prophet, which was easily disproved by credited scientists and researchers. The American Psychological Association and all it’s 8,000 voted unanimously after studying this ‘procedure’ that is was a fraud.
Once a Scientologist was ‘Clear’, he would know everything from everyone moment of their life with perfect recall! And as luck would have it, a Scientologists would hit the ‘Clear’ status in 1950! 4,000 people packed into the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles to see the first ‘Clear’, Miss Sonya Bianca. When the audience members threw out the difficult questions to her, such as ‘ the color of L. Ron Hubbard’s tie, which she had seen seconds before, she couldn’t recall. After failing to answer the rest of the questions, the crowd left.
Nowadays you can pay over $15,000 dollars if you are a Scientologist for a week long cruise to the Caribbean. (If you go to your local travel agency, you could find a better deal, but noone accused them of ever being smart.)
Now, their scripture is indeed Holy. It’s not the Bible though. Their sacred scripture are all writings by L. Ron Hubbard since Dianetics. So, I would assume the ten book series I attempted to finish about aliens coming to invade Earth is really biography of another timeline! You won’t find God, Jesus, or the Bible mentioned in this, let’s face it, Cult. Well, there is a lot of Science Fiction involved with Scientology. Let me explain. Heck, let me explain what L. Ron Hubbard and Scientologists teach to day. Follow this story closely. It’s only missing a Wookie and Luke Skywalker…
According to the Prophet Hubbard, a Thetan is a spirit which is more than eighty trillion years old and dwells in…our skulls! (Now I know who was really getting me in trouble in school.) When we die, the Thetan inside of our head reports to an implant station. These implant stations exist! One is real close…on the planet Mars! This was about the most sane of L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings. The rest are even more laughable, even his version of evolution. (Typical since evolutionists can never agree on what evolution truly is and how it supposedly happened.)
Mr. Hubbard lambasted the Bible with many accusations of fraud perpetrated on the world. Of course, he failed to present any evidence for his outlandish claims. (I bet he was a Liberal, using the tactic of making up wild accusations and fleeing when asked to back them up.)
Mr. Hubbard died in 1986. Strange that this wonderful prophet died and hasn’t risen.
