There is only way to find truth. And that is: for yourself. That is precisely what I am doing. Am I sure that it will work? No. But I can try it and
find out. I'm not just going to base it on the negative criticism that made for a headline across the pages of the local newspaper.
If there is one way that Scientology differs from other religions, its in the fact that it doesn't ask you to believe anything based on blind faith.
In fact, if you look at the main page on their website (4th paragraph) it says
"In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on
faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true". Here is the link if you want to look for yourself.

Furthermore, the utter failure to improve the condition of the individual and of society of so called "benevolent" religions that are based on dogma
and moral absolutes is testament to a spiritually bankrupt system of mind-control, not mind-liberation.
I really don't think you should attack an individual's decisions just because you don't agree. At the end of the day, we all do whatever works for
us. Just because you disagree with something doesn't mean you're right.
