I understand how people can get caught up in the idea of the dianetics and getting over your past through discussing it. That part makes sense to me just like therapy makes sense. I almost empathize with people being drawn to that. However, they record and use the personal information revealed in those “audit” sessions to hold these people hostage. They also influence them in this most vulnerable state. If it was therapy it would be clear cut medical malpractice, but since they frame it as a “religion” it’s not prosecutable.
What REALLY blows my mind is the seemingly educated people that buy into the whole “Xenu” story and look past the fact a fricking Science-Fiction writer (not to mention criminal and fraud) wrote their origin story and canon. Its baffling that millions of 1st world, rich, educated people have bought into this. The non-famous members are treated like shite too.
Every time you peel back another layer of the Scientology onion, you find something more ridiculous. The whole thing is a big WTF.

What makes me so irritated is that people just assume they're a whacky religion and DO NOT UNDERSTAND AT ALL...why everyone find them so reprehensible.
They just spout off that they're no crazier than any other religion despite not knowing one fricking thing other than the word xenu

I didn't know about the fraudulent military claims he made. Those were interesting. I also found myself listening to the three Lieutenants and thinking how intelligent and level headed they seemed. One of them while discussing the musical chairs discussed how if law enforcement walked in the door at that very moment, all of them would have stood with the church and said they volunteered to be there. His reaction to telling the story and how absurd it sounded saying it out loud was eerie to watch. I can't imagine how much shite those three guys did to others.
