Will Smith is in the early stages of being converted. In this stage, Scientology is nothing more than a form of psychotherapy or "confessional".

So Will Smith can in deed believe he is a Christian and a Scientologist.

"things that have made this movement so controversial," says S. Scott Bartchy, director of the Center for the Study of Religion at UCLA, "are its claims that its forms of therapy are 'scientific' and that the 'truth' will only be revealed to those who have the money to purchase advancement to the various levels."

In fact, it's not until the upper levels that the "Church" tells you that all other religions, including Judaism, Islam and Christianity are all implants forced upon our souls ( thetan ) by aliens. You are told to believe this and nothing else.

Scientology's affirmation that anything written by L Ron Hubbard is the true and definitive word is at the root of all of this. It can not be altered or disputed. If he says that there was no Jesus Christ... then you must believe him or you'll never get across the Bridge of Total Freedom.

Will Smith won't find this out for some time.

Question authority and question...

* Scientologys harassment and litigious policies against its critics and against free speech.

* Scientologys attempts to force search engines to omit any websites critical of them.

* Scientologys belief that they are the only ones that can help the world ( make the world "clear" ), thus being intolerant of other religions - something they fight for when its their religion being attacked. (most cults believe that they are the only ones that know the "truth")

* Scientologys disconnection policy, which requires members to cut all ties to friends and family considered "antagonistic" towards the religion (a basic practice of all cults). No other religion does this.

* Scientologys affirmation that anything written by L Ron Hubbard is the true and definitive word. It can not be altered or disputed (a single messianic figure, another basic practice of all cults). Is he really that much starter than everyone else in the world? Come on... really? Always question authority!

* Scientologys organizational structure, ethics policies and security checks. No other religion does this.

* Scientologys military uniforms and titles. No other religion does this.

* Scientologys attack on psychiatry solely because psychiatry attacked L Ron Hubbard for practicing medicine without a license and having no scientific proof that his form of psychotherapy worked. (once, after stating that Dianetics improved ones memory, a person declared as "clear" couldnt even remember the color of Hubbards tie). L Ron Hubbard turned Dianetics into Scientology in order to continue to make money and avoid criminal charges. Ask yourself, why psycs? Hmmm.. Do you think that maybe its because they are in direct competition for psychotherapy dollars. Did you know that Hubbard himself requested psychiatric assistance from the V.A.?

* Scientologys contribution scheme which requires you to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to reach the highest level of their "Bridge to Total Freedom". Making money is one of the sole functions of each "org" - organization - aka "mission" ( KSW - Keep Scientology Working is their motto). Christians dont charge for their "secrets". Mormons will send you a copy of "The Book of Mormon" for free. Jehovah Witnesses will come to your house and talk to you freely about their religion. Ask yourself.. why charge if the purpose is to clear the world? Wouldnt the world be clear quicker if was free? Wouldnt people gladly give you money for "saving" them?

* Scientologys misleading images of using the cross (a symbol of Christianity), the words "Mission" and "Minister" to promote their psychotherapy as a religion (Scientologists do not believe in Christ. L Ron Hubbard once said "there was no Christ". He said that religion was created in 600 BC by people "using a piece of R6" implant. L Ron Hubbard also implied that Christ was a pedophile). Scientology is not tolerant of any other religion. It cant be because it goes against everything L Ron Hubbard teaches and he isnt wrong... is he? Ask yourself... why the cross? I know about the 8 points, but why not just 8 lines intersecting each other? Why use something that looks like a Christian cross? It is maybe to mislead people into thinking that Scientologists are in some way Christians?

* Scientologys deceptive marketing strategies used to lure you into the church to take courses intended to help you achieve your "full potential". These include the "Free Personality Test", that always points out problems they can help you with if you paid them, and through frontline organizations such as WISE, ABLE, The Way to Happiness and Applied Scholastics which introduces potential members (including school age children) to the teachings of L Ron Hubbard and his made up terminology (which requires a Scientology dictionary to understand). Ask yourself... why "courses", books and videos and lectures that you have to pay for? Why not just teach the religion for free in churches? Why deceive people?

* The death of a Scientologist Lisa McPherson while in the care of the Church. The Church settled this case out of court. Why?

* The suicide of Noah Lottick who jumped from the roof of a building because he had no more money to give the Church. There have been many others like Noah, including L Ron Hubbards own son, that have taken their own lives because of conflicts the church.

* Criminal activities committed on behalf of the Church and directed by Church officials such as Operation Freakout and Operation Snow White in which L Ron Hubbards wife was sent to prison.

* Conflicting statements about L. Ron Hubbards life, in particular false accounts of Hubbards education (he flunked out of George Washington University and never attended Princeton), credentials (he was never a Civil Engineer nor a Nuclear Scientist), military career (he was never a WWII Hero. In fact, he was decommissioned twice, once for accidentally ordering his ship to fire upon Mexico - It wasnt until he created the Sea Org that he gave himself the title of "Commodore" and made everyone wear naval uniforms that he finally achieved his dream of being a great naval officer) and lastly his great expeditions (2 failed attempts one trying to make a movie and the other searching buried gold). He also abandoned his first wife and children while he went on these "adventures", cheated on his wife, committed bigamy, tried to kidnap his daughter from his second wife and was himself on medication at the time of his death. If the man lied about himself... and is a "great" Science Fiction writer... ask yourself, can you really trust him to tell you the truth? Why did all his explorations and accomplishments stop when he after founding the Church?

All-in-all, Scientology is based on lies and the ego of one man. It is a scam in global proportions.

Question it. Question everything the church tells you. Find your own truth.
