Since this is a fairly long article, you can use the Table of Contents below to navigate the segments easier.ġ. ![]() ** To keep things as brief as possible, my comments follow specific claims of pieces of information retrieved from the COS website. I will address the content of each of these written materials and try to understand the main message through which the Church of Scientology hopes to increase the number of believers and members. ![]() There is also an intro for the entire section. The “What is Scientology” texts cover 7 segments of theory: Background and Origins, Scientology Principles, Scientology Practices, Scientology Ceremonies, Scientology Ministry, Scientology Creeds and Codes, and Scientology in Society. Part II is an analysis of the accompanying text. *Since the materials are rather dense, Part I of this SKEPTIC’s REVIEW only addressed the Videos. Mostly grounded in critical thinking techniques and abilities (hopefully), but an opinion. The article is not meant as a comprehensive commentary on the religion of Scientology or its techniques.Commentary and criticism would most likely constitute fair use, but that can only be established after you go to court and win. I will not post screenshots since the last kind of discussion I would be willing to have regarding this type of content is copyright-related.The review applies exclusively to the content that was live on the website and on the connected online platforms at the date of writing this article.Since the COS website provides an extremely large amount of content on various aspects related to the theory and practice of Scientology, the present analysis only refers to the “ What is Scientology” segment.The material used for this analysis is part of the Church of Scientology official website.Ron Hubbard (science-fiction and fantasy writer) in the 1950s.

I believe all of our activities could, in theory, be deconstructed and less than perfect characteristics may be revealed in the process, so nitpicking is not my aim. We are all entitled to our own beliefs, however foolish they may be considered by others, and we are also entitled to practice them, the only limit being, in my opinion, causing any type of harm to another being or to our common environment. By no means do I intend to trigger through my content any type of aggressive (re)actions toward them, their collaborators or supporters. Note: This analysis is not meant as a personal attack on the individuals whose content or craft make the subject of the series. Scientific facts may not influence a believer’s choice to support a certain unscientific claim, but alternative interpretations may find their way into non-radical minds and who knows, maybe a different conclusion will follow. The underlying reason is not only to expose the deception, where it exists, but mainly to provide an alternative interpretation of the message being analyzed. My goal for this website segment is to critically analyze the message of some of the people, businesses, and organizations that deal with controversial or pseudo-scientific content and claims and try to figure out the level of deception (if any), the type of manipulation involved (if any), the methods in which the manipulative tactics are being employed (if the case) and the level of potential harm the specific content poses for the target audience, in particular, and society as a whole, in general.
