Walter Armstrong Source:
The Fix The Scientology-backed rehab promises addicts they can sweat out their demons in sweltering saunas. But critics charge that the organization is the devil itself. L. Ron Hubbard, the prolific science fiction author and founder of the Church of Scientology, may have been judged “a mental case” (according to the F.B.I.) and “a pathological liar” (according to a Los Angeles Supreme Court judge), but to tens of thousands of his eager followers worldwide, the man discovered an approach to recovery that outclasses ...

Michel Jean Source:
TVA L'auteur de science-fiction L. Ron Hubbard a fondé l'Église de Scientologie en 1954. Il s'agit d'un mouvement ésotérique dont les fidèles découvrent les préceptes au fur et à mesure qu'ils y consacrent temps et argent. La Scientologie prétend que nos expériences douloureuses du passé, incluant nos vies antérieures, ont laissé des traces. Ces traces nous minent et nous empêchent d'atteindre notre vrai potentiel. Seule l'application rigoureuse des techniques développées par Hubbard permettent de s'en débarrasser et d'arriver au statut de personne ...
