It's well worth your while stopping at one of their stores and doing their "Stress test".
You'll be amazed at how stressed you really are, and you didn't even realise it!
Luckily for you, they have an answer. It's really quite simple and effective:
1. Become aware of your problems (stress)
2. Accept you have problems.
3. Learn how to cope with your acceptance of your problems.
All this for a few pennies! The world is your oister!
Obviously there are some more steps, which will help you to actually solve the causes of your problems.
And once you've seen how effective steps 1 to 3 are, you'll be more than willing to dish out some hard earned cash to clear your slate from the results of your childhood and enironment. Hell, your problems were pushed on you. You didn't have a choice. And now you'll be able to rid yourself of them!
Obviously the people who projected the problems onto you in the first place are guilty specimens of folk who have strayed too far from their core being. They've wandered away from that which enlightens them, unifies them and helps them see the truth.
Hell, if they don't want to see things as they are, they are lost. You can't do anything about it. They're gonna miss the boat! You can only try your best.
But you are redeemed. You have seen the truth. The boat is coming for you.
But while you're waiting, maybe you want to be able to help other people, like you yourself were helped. Yes, it costs an initial donation, but once you're in the highest of echelons and totally knowledgable of all the largest secrets of mankind and the core from which we come, you'll realise it is well worth it. Weren't all the steps before worth it too?
Of course they were! And an added bonus is that once you're in the highest echelons...you start receiving money for your wisdom and kindness too!
Halleluja!

You sound like you actually read Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard.
And I thought I was the only one.
And whoever posted the story of the bet that started Scientology is quite right. L. Ron Hubbard saw that churches were all non-profit organizations and he wanted a way out of paying taxes, so he started his own "religion". I guess this is just about the only case of something being something just because you call it that. Calling a dog a pig doesn't make it a pig. But calling Scientology a religion seems to make it so.

But this is the basic mechanics of most cults (including such icons as Masonry, etc.).
Once could, but I probably won't, suggest that it's the basic premise of all religions as well...

If I ever find a religion that doesn't want money..........(for another thread)

Scientologists don't discuss their beliefs with outsiders because they know how crazy it sounds. They wait until they get you in one of their seminars where they have you surrounded and can gang up on you if you show any sign of independant thought.
