The "Scientology" sect, also known as "Scientology," was founded in 1952 by American Ron Hubbard.

The "Scientology" teaches that man is an immortal spiritual individual, and that the individual has forgotten his own essence, and that they can help him to restore his essence.
This set of seemingly mysterious theories was proposed by the founder Hubbard, who originally worked as a science fiction writer and later even wrote books on business management and other types, which shows the nature of this "church".
All along, the foreign media about the "scientific sect" of negative reports have emerged one after another, an article titled "Cult or Church?" The article on the most terrible facts of the "Scientology Sect" is even more nakedly exposing the evil nature of the "Scientology Sect".

The "Church of Scientology" once told those who were interested in their "doctrine" that those who wanted to consult or "find the essence" did not need to spend money, but only needed to listen to the "teachings" of the members of the "church" for free. However, leah Remini, a famous American actress and former member of the "Scientology", said that this was all a lie.

Once you've officially joined the Science School, there will be endless fee-based programs waiting for you, such as personal growth training sessions, listening training, and more. According to Time Magazine, the "Church of Science" was extremely expensive to upgrade individual courses in its later years, and the "Church" forbade members to disclose specific numbers to the outside world. After Leia Remini withdrew, she revealed to the media that she spent more than $300,000 (about 2 million yuan). The price may be affordable for Hollywood actresses, but it is certainly a huge sum for an ordinary member of the "Scientology" school. Many people have to mortgage their properties to afford the high cost of study.
Except for what the "church" says
Everything else is a lie
The "Scientology Sect" tells believers that if it were not for the information published, written and produced by the "Scientology Sect" itself, it would be false and could not be believed.
So what do they make believers believe?
The first is the so-called Znu myth. According to the "Scientology" high-level data, seventy-five million years ago, Zinu was the leader of the Galactic Federation, in order to solve the problem of overpopulation, Zinu sent 1 billion aliens to Earth, and then Zinu detonated a nuclear bomb and killed the aliens. The spiritual bodies they remain are the cause of the mental harm caused to human beings.

This may also explain why the "scientology" is so strongly opposed to psychiatry and psychology. Founder Hubbard once criticized psychiatry as a "barbaric and corrupt profession." They argue that whether it's painkillers, sedatives, or antidepressants are as catastrophic as illegal drugs, and that mental ailments are left over from aliens.
How do you solve a psychological problem if you have it? The "Scientology" has an activity called "listening."

According to the BBC, "listening" is an activity invented by the "Church of Scientology" itself, and it is said to help believers solve their soul wounds and improve their awareness. And "listening" has an auxiliary instrument, called the Psychic Electric Meter, the "Science Sect" said that the instrument can test the state of a person's mind through a trace amount of current, to help you play the potential of the mind.

Over the years, the "Scientology School" has produced several generations of psychic electronic instruments, each priced for thousands of dollars, and banned believers from buying and selling second-hand on the grounds of intellectual property rights. However, when a reporter really opened an instrument in order to figure out the principle of "listening", he found that it was a mess of wires and circuit boards, and there was no scientific and technological content, and the cost may be "not worth two hundred dollars".

Not a scientific medical treatment
Although they are called "Scientology", what they do is not scientific at all.
In 1995, an American "Scientology" believer named Lisa McPherson experienced a minor car accident, and the Scientology took her back to the base for "rest and relaxation." But the truth is, the "church" puts Lisa in a small room, keeping it under 24-hour surveillance. After 17 days, she died.

Nursing records record her last 17 days of life: she spoke incoherently, her nails were cut to avoid her scratching herself and the paramedics; she desperately bumped her head against a wall, refusing to eat, and staff tried to force her to eat, but to no avail. No one in the "Scientology" dared to question the way lisa was handled, and the doctors in the church prescribed two prescription drugs without examining Lisa's physical condition. It wasn't until Lisa was dying that the "Scientology" personnel drove her to the hospital where the "Scientology" believers were located, the drive was 45 minutes long, and there were no stops at 4 hospitals on the road, and when she arrived at her destination, Lisa had no signs of life.
In 2010, the British newspaper The Guardian reported that the "Scientology" provided "drug bullet therapy" to Australian alcoholic Aborigines, claiming that taking the drugs they provided could alleviate their dependence on alcohol. However, the medicine they provide is actually a hallucinogen drug, which the Australian Ministry of Health warns that in addition to causing stomach ulcers, it can also cause the death of people with already kidney disease. "All those who have the 'Scientology' brochure need to be told that they cannot use this drug without medical approval and that 'Scientology' propaganda is completely irresponsible," said the Health Minister. ”
In addition, the "Scientology" also hypes that the drugs they take will remain in the human body forever, and only by using their treatment programs can they do no harm to the human body.

Trafficking in human beings and child abuse
Since 2019, many women have complained of "Scientology" of trafficking, forced labor, and child abuse.
In September 2019, a woman named Dawn took the Scientology to court and told the Tampa Bay Times detailing her childhood experiences of sexual abuse and forced labor.
Dawn, who accused the "Scientology Sect"
Dawn said she grew up in a kindergarten under the name of the Scientology, and a member of the Scientology sect forced her to have sex with another girl who didn't know what it meant and had to do it.
When she was 11 years old, the Scientology transported her to Venezuela. There, members of the "Scientology" continued to sexually assault her, and when she could not bear to report it to the "church", she was sentenced to months of hard labor.
Growing up, Dawn finally had the ability to escape the grip of the "Scientology", but it didn't end there. The "Scientology" harassed her constantly: cutting off the brake lines of her car, destroying her house, hundreds of harassing phone calls a day...
Having the same experience as Dawn was another woman named Jane. At the age of 15, she was appointed personal butler of the regional leader of the "Scientology" for 12 years. She was taken to an unfamiliar place, in effect, the prison of the "Scientology", where she was subjected to horrific abuse and sexual assault.
It wasn't until 2016, when she hid in the trunk of one of the members' cars, that she escaped from that prison.
To prevent people from escaping, the "Scientology" built a barbed wall at the entrance of the base
There are many more such examples. However, in the face of the victims' accusations and various evidences, the "Scientology" said that these were "ridiculous".
In addition to these evil deeds, the "Scientology Sect" has many more terrible acts. For example, they organized a so-called "maritime agency", which in the 60s consisted of several small cruise ships, creating a Starfleet atmosphere in which they were isolated at sea for the purpose of isolating themselves from the world for "missionary" purposes.
Members of the early "Ocean Agency"
At present, this institution has been transferred to the land as a whole, and it seems to the members at the bottom that it is a supreme honor to join this institution, but most of the members of this institution work very hard, doing cleaning, building maintenance and other work every day, and each member must sign a 1 billion-year contract, swearing to be loyal to the "Scientology" for life.
Although the contract has no legal effect, it is almost impossible to get out of it as long as it is added. Because the "maritime agencies" are heavily guarded, meetings with family members, online communications, etc., are subject to censorship by the "Science Sect."

For those who criticize and expose the "scientific sect", the "church" will send many people to harass and follow them, in order to block these voices and seize the initiative of public opinion. In 2007, BBC reporters were retaliated against by the "Scientology" for reporting that the "Scientology" was suspected of mind control and wealth collection.
In 2009, after the 4 senior leaders of the "Scientology Sect" broke away from the "Church", they began to expose the inside story of the "Scientology Sect", and the "Scientology" immediately published the "moral files" of these 4 people - this is a confidential record of their confessions at the "Church", involving a lot of privacy. The Scientology tried to silence the four men or else they would reveal more of their privacy.

The "Scientology" is the most litigious order in history, which Germany classifies as an "anti-constitutional religion"; in France, it is called a "dangerous group"; in Britain, it is not a legal religion, and even in 1968 it banned foreign "Scientology" adherents... There are also many countries and regions that directly characterize "science sects" as cults.
Such a "church" is like "Cult or Church?" As the article on the most terrifying facts of the "Scientology" says - "Repression of human nature, anti-social, what is the 'Scientology', the answer is obvious." ”
