Many falsehoods and inaccurate statements regarding several aspects
of the religion of Scientology have been observed on ars.
The purpose of this message is to give you a sample of the true data
from the book 'What is Scientology?' and show you where you can look
to get the full contents of this book.

                         -------------



The story of Dianetics and Scientology expansion is a simple one.
Having developed the world's first workable technology of the mind
and an applied religious philosophy that struck a vital chord in
so many people, L. Ron Hubbard found that word of his discoveries
began to spread. And as he continued researching, his further milestone
discoveries created greater and greater interest.

In order to make these discoveries available, training centers, missions
and churches were founded; and as more and more people discovered
that Dianetics and Scientology worked, the cycle perpetuated itself.

This is the broad view. For a real sense of the story, however, one
must return to early January 1950, when word of the forthcoming
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health generated so many
advanced orders that the publisher literally had to force his way
past a mound of envelopes that had been dropped through the mail
slot of his office door.
