What this case argues
- Advancing through Scientology’s levels costs a great deal of money, with independent estimates for reaching the top level running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- Scientology’s highest teachings, including the story of Xenu, are kept confidential and revealed only after a member has advanced far up the system.
- Scientology presents itself as compatible with Christianity, yet Hubbard’s confidential upper-level teaching says “there was no Christ” and calls Christianity an implant.
- The E-meter, the device at the center of Scientology counseling, has no proven medical or scientific value, a point reflected in a federal ruling and in Scientology’s own disclaimer.
- L. Ron Hubbard’s life as documented in the record differs sharply from the account Scientology presents, and the founder’s credibility bears on the claims.
- Scientology’s disconnection policy, written into Hubbard’s own policy letters, has members cut off family and friends labelled “Suppressive”, and it has broken up families.
