scientology

If I were to be critical of 'why someone might join scientology' would that mean I am being critical of human beings?

You not only have to pay all that money, you have to deal with the Scientology of programming languages.

Religions like Scientology and Mormonism pretty much proved that certain people will believe anything, there's no limit to gullibility.

It was full bull-goose batshit crazy; basically unreadable psychobabble power-blended with scientology-class buzzwords.

Answering 'no' does not invalidate the statement 'this reads like a scientology ad'.

Would you feel stupid if you were to walk into a Scientology meeting and you didn't know what SP, Xenu, or fair game meant?

I believe that the Church of Scientology did the same thing a long time ago in the early days of the internet.

If you didn't know this was a CEO of a successful corporation, and instead you were told it was an internal Scientology memo, would you doubt it?

Not only that, but it makes it easier for 3rd party groups to try and gain information to silence opponents, Scientology being the first to come to mind.

Glad it helped and you are so enthusiastic, but you are still claiming salvation from an invisible man in the sky, aka: you sound like a Scientology ad.

Under what context would scientology even come up?

Simple and factual statement that scientology is a total sham (this statement can be easily extended towards most organized religions) would put the speaker in violation of the CoC.

You know Scientology, Amway and most other cult-like phenomena say the same thing: It's never the "system" that's wrong, if it's not working it means you're doing something wrong.

Based on the "adapt or get out" tone and unironic use of jargon like "Teal Organization", I picture their emergent culture landing somewhere between Lord of the Flies and Scientology.

It's always funny to see Americans complain about the "lack of free speech" in Germany (Nazism, Scientology), when all those laws and the relevant legal structure around it was not only accepted by the US after WW2, but basically forced upon Germany by the US.

Next thing you know, the brain in a petri dish will be a leading light in the Church of Scientology.

Scientology and some Thelemic orgs use Vipassana and other meditative techniques to ensnare their students.

He claims that TED, the organization, has become a Scientology-like cult.
