Scientology can become a kind of psychotherapy religion, but it got lost, and it encountered a domineering and violent leader, which made many people discover that the joy and fanaticism they once had, and the happiness brought to them by religion, was finally lost. Pain, abuse and disappointment replaced. These witnesses, in any case, they were once addicted to it, and they cannot deny their spiritual pursuit.
To say that it is not a religion would be wrong. After all, it has its own missionary organization. To say that it buys real estate everywhere, its internal finances are chaotic, and this is also a question of good or bad management. You must know that Catholicism was once very degenerate, but there must be people inside who can save it. So in the final analysis, this is a matter of religious organization management.
What interests me is the propaganda strategy he uses with Hollywood stars, which is really powerful. Tom Cruise, Travolta, they're all stars, they're priceless propaganda, and it doesn't matter if the church treats them well. Also, they have so much money. This strategy has been successful.
To say that the leader abuses the believers, the believers accept all kinds of inhuman accusations, all of which they want, and the FBI can't control them. It has nothing to do with whether it is illegal or not. As long as there are no dead people, things like personal freedom are second. The most fearful thing is that the church has political ambitions and tries to change the law. That is the most dangerous.
