The same 10% could be said for many organizations, including the management consulting firm where I worked. But I understand. Scientology is much more unstable.
I’ve been by the huge scientology building a few times when I lived in downtown LA. Interesting place! I also stumbled across a spot giving a scientology test one Friday night while in the Marines. I scored pretty high, but was told that their ministry could bring my score up. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what’s going on. They’re probably testing to see who’s likely to respond to which sales approach to suck them in. That’s killing two birds with one stone, but not unique to Scientology.
I agree that what I said about 10% of Scientology could be said of most management consulting firms; the difference between the former and the latter is the remaining 90%. Scientology's core beliefs are antithetical to traditional Jewish and Christian beliefs. To the extent one embraces traditional beliefs about God and the human soul and eternity, one would see Scientology as dangerous. A close friend of mine jettisoned Catholicism for Scientology. I am trying to get him to practice both (because I believe it's futile to try to get him to ditch Scientology right now.) My friend's career in Hollywood has been helped by Scientology, but I keep pestering him, "That's this life; what about the afterlife?" The problem is, Scientology teaches nonsense about the afterlife, so my friend sees no reason to remain Christian.
