Extractions: Tema Forside Udskriv Tip en ven Scientology Scientology kalder sig selv en kirke og stifteren L. Ron Hubbards skrifter for religiøse. Kritikere kalder organisationen en pengemaskine, som udnytter svage mennesker og fastholder dem i en nedbrydende og udbyttende afhængighed. Kristeligt Dagblad følger løbende Scientology, sektens afhoppere og andre kritikere. Det har senest ført til, at Scientologys eget blad Frihed har indledt en smædekampagne om Kristeligt Dagblad.

Extractions: Dat de publieke belangstelling voor Scientology snel toeneemt valt niet te ontkennen. Om te voorzien in de behoefte aan een bondig naslagwerk over Scientology werd in 1992 de eerste uitgave van dit boek samengesteld. In de zeven jaar die inmiddels zijn verstreken, heeft de explosieve groei van Scientology kerken, missies en groepen over de hele wereld het noodzakelijk gemaakt hiervan een herziene uitgebreide uitgave te publiceren. Hoewel het onvermijdelijk is dat de voortgaande expansie het cijfermateriaal in dit boek wederom zal wijzigen, zal veel hetzelfde blijven, waaronder uiteraard de technologie van Scientology en het effect dat zij heeft op alles waarmee ze in contact komt. Om inzicht te geven in Scientology als fenomeen, bevat dir boek een volledige beschrijving van haar religieuze filosofie, hoe zij in praktijk gebracht wordt, haar organisatiestructuur, haar activiteiten en haar toenemende invloed op de samenleving.

Extractions: Ontstaan en ontwikkeling Dianetics: The modern science of mental health en in verkorte vorm in het sf-tijdschrift Astounding Science Fiction , waarin in de voorafgaande jaren verschillende verhalen van zijn hand waren verschenen. De psychotherapeutische methode, in het boek ontwikkeld en aangeduid met de term dianetics , bevatte reeds belangrijke elementen van wat enige tijd later als scientology zou worden gepresenteerd. Zij was gegrond op de opvatting, dat elke mens een zuivere, analytische geest bezit die zijn persoonlijkheidskern vormt. Alle indrukken van de zintuigen worden door deze geest geregistreerd en benut voor het geven van de juiste prikkels. Uitgerust met een dergelijke feilloze computer is de mens in staat zelfstandig de goede beslissingen te nemen en gegeven zijn omstandigheden met een minimum aan geestelijke en lichamelijke klachten optimaal te leven. Zo gaat het echter in de praktijk niet, omdat in het evolutieproces van de mens een mechanisme is ontstaan dat de werking van de analytische geest ernstig verstoort. Dit mechanisme, de reactieve geest , heeft zich ontwikkeld als bliksemafleider voor pijn, die werd opgevat als een bedreiging voor het voortbestaan. De reactieve geest reageert op prikkels van buitenaf en legt indrukken vast van momenten van geestelijke of lichamelijke pijn, zogenaamde

Extractions: What's new : see what has been added since your last visit Scientology claims to be "the world's largest mental health organization". What it really is however, is the world's largest organization of unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous techniques which masquerade as mental therapy. Scientology is evil; its techniques evil; its practice a serious threat to the community, medically, morally and socially; and its adherents are sadly deluded and often mentally ill. (Quotes from the Report of the Board of Enquiry into Scientology of the Parliament of the state of Victoria, Australia Scientology is a form of pseudo-science invented by the mediocre late science-fiction writer Lafayette Ron Hubbard (here is his picture ). Scientology claims to make people more able to communicate; but after taking their courses, you'll find out that it will only help you to communicate inside Scientology. It claims to be compatible with other religions; but as you progress, you will have to accept that Elron Hubbard

http://www.uni-marburg.de/religionswissenschaft/journal/mjr/kent2.html

Extractions: This article critically examines the allegations of religious intolerance that United States officials and governmental staff have leveled against France and Germany (along with other European countries) for their policies on, and actions toward, Scientology and other controversial groups. It argues that American officials appear to be poorly informed about the bases for the Europeans' critical positions, and that those officials have been the recipients of selective information provided by Scientology itself along with Scientology's supporters. It concludes by offering a preliminary analysis of this Euro-American debate in the context of 'international social movements' theory within the social sciences.

Social Control In Scientology

Extractions: Bob Penny , one of the founders of FACTNet (Fight Against Coercive Tactics Network), gives this account of how his book was originally published in a dual edition with Margery Wakefield's book, The Road to Xenu Margery wrote the first part of the book ( The Road to Xenu ), and I wrote the second part ( Social Control in Scientology ). We decided that the two parts complemented each other, so we published them together in one volume which we first released at the 1991 Cult Awareness Network conference in Oklahoma City. The printing was done in response to demand at the nearest Kinko's or other quick printer. The volumes were bound in a thermal binding machine of mine. Both Margery's work and mine were released to the public domain in 1993, when they were offered for download on the (non-internet) FACTNet BBS. Neither are on file with the Library of Congress unless someone else put them there. The text has been available (with no remuneration to either Margery or me) on the FACTNet BBS and on countless Web and ftp sites for I know not how long.

Born and raised in New Zealand, I now live in Los Angeles, where I work as the Media Relations Director for the Church of Scientology International, the mother church of the Scientology religion. In the last sixteen years, I have worked in public relations for the Church, first in New Zealand, then internationally. Although I am based in Los Angeles , I travel widely, both within and outside the United States. Recently, I have found from talking to people and reading what appears on the Internet that a strong desire exists on the Net for information about Scientology. That is why I have erected this home page. What is Scientology? Briefly, it is a religion founded by author, philosopher and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. But until you check it out for yourself, you won't really know. The easiest way to do this is online at the official Scientology Internet Site Further information is available at Churches of Scientology which exist in most major cities in the United States and in many cities and towns in Europe, Africa, Great Britain, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Extractions: Suggestions for Further Study here once the family was the stable foundation upon which all else was built, today its shattered remnants are the source of much of what troubles society. And while marriages still outnumber divorces, the gap is rapidly closing. Marriage is well on the way to becoming a failed institution. L. Ron Hubbard wrote extensively on interpersonal relationships and much of it is applicable to this most personal of relationships. In this section you will discover methods to make a marriage work, why many marriages fail, how to discover if partners are well suited to each other, and how to save a failing marriage.
