    They say that if it loses the ruling it will become a banned organisation =D It is currently classed as a sect. In Germany it has been declared unconstitutional and is under investigation by their secret services.

    Y'know, I always figured something fishy was up with them. I mean, I've looked into it a bit, and it looks like a sci-fi script or a fanfic, not a religion, personally.

    hmm..... good thing i don't do personality tests. She shouldnt have to pay money after being offered a free-personality test.

    The Church said it cannot be responsible for invididuals.

    Yes that's true, but it can cause some of the issues some individuals may have. Who on earth would pay 20,000 euros for a personality test?? Which mind****ed person would honestly do that?

    She paid 20,000 euros for a "cure" of her mental disability. Honestly, she'd have to be a bit mental to do that.

    It's funny when you realize Scientology was founded by a SCIENCE-FICTION writer

    Ha. It was going to happen eventually. The entire basis of Scientology is ****ing insane, and they abuse human rights on so many levels, it's not even funny. Good riddance.

    The creator wrote sci-fi novels.

    Your suspicion is not off at all.

    Well, the entire premise of religion, the way I see it, is that anyone can, supposedly, get a vision or experience and turn it into a religion, but their beliefs just read like a mash-up of all the early sci-fi alien movies I ever watched. It made less sense than anything I had ever encountered.
