Sadly I do not have HBO but after reading a few posts, i decided to YouTube a BBC Documentary on them. Now I investigated this "religion" (cough.. corporation) when I was young (14ish) and left it at that. I couldn't believe what I was seeing on this Doc. by BBC. It was crazy. I further Googled some information on the price plans and wow... its expensive (and I thought the Mormon Church was expensive lol). I would like to make a side note: There view on Mental Health things are very inaccurate of present day medicine. I will admit with my knowledge in this field of study that today's medicine does have some bad effects and the Mental Health System needs to be reformed... but the things they showed about the past reminds me of "possesion of demons" kind of things that Christian's used. If someone who was seriously mentally ill were to just choose one day to take up Scientology and go off there meds and use there teachings... it could be fatal. Scientifically these meds change the brain into a better stable person... some can debate the effects on this and I will in no way deny that side effects of some of the meds can be harmful in the long term... with each new generation of drugs in the mental health field it is getting better... Please do not think I am a "expert" in any way but the forms of treatment I have seen through Google studies is not only extremely dangerous but could be fatal (suicide).
As far as L.Ron.Hubbard. He was a science fiction writer... dude... like for real... the higher operating level's secrets are something I could read about if I picked up a book at the library.
I look forward to obtain somehow through a friend a copy of this HBO version as it is probably more up to date then this BBC Doc. I just watched.
