33 Scientology/Dianetics

Q. What is the Church of Scientology (Dianetics)?

A. The Church of Scientology (originally called Dianetics) was founded
by L. Ron Hubbard. The probable goal of someone in CoS is to
become a "clear". A "clear" is someone who is free of all
"engrams". An engram is a trace left by a traumatic experience
that limits your happiness. The major book on CoS is called
"Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard. For more information about
Dianetics and CoS, check out a separate newsgroup called,
alt.religion.scientology. It should also be mentioned as a word
of caution that many consider Scientology to be a cult and that
a number of ex-members report the Church using intimidation and
control tactics while they were members and after they left the
Church.

There is a Scientology Orientation Seminar which you can sign up
for at your local Church of Scientology (cost $15.00).
You can also call 1-800-334-LIFE for more information.
