  Statement from The Church  Scientologist can have trouble making spiritual progress in his auditing or training if he is connected to someone who is suppressive or who is antagonistic to Scientology or its tenets. All spiritual advancement gained from Scientology may well be lost because one is continually invalidated by an antagonistic person who wants nothing more than to do harm to the person. In order to resolve this situation, one either “handles” the other person’s antagonism with true data about Scientology and the Church or, as a last resort, when all attempts to handle have failed, one “disconnects” from or stops communicating with the person.

  For this project I created a publication detailing the dangers and victims of The Church of Scientology. My aim for this publication was to create an editorial piece that warns people of the danger that is Scientology, showing certain things that they do such as spying, blackmail and family separation, ultimately I wanted to show how controlling the 'religion' is, hence the name of my publication being 'Religion of Control'. As well as this I wanted to create reportage pages about some of the victims of Scientology and their stories. Also at the end of my publication I created a spot where I would put my Digital Adventures Zine about the insane story of Xenu that is in Scientology, I did this to show the reader how ridiculous Scientology really is, how it may seem like a do good religion but in reality it has silly stories with a controlling narrative.  I think that my publication is successful in achieving what I wanted it to achieve. I used colours that are staples ...

When arriving I noticed that it was directly next to a Christian Church, and I couldn’t help but think this was done on purpose to try and impose on another religion. Entering the Church we were greeted by an extremely softly spoken quiet young woman who had a European accent, Scandinavian I thought it was. She was extremely shy and made us sign in then wit for a tour guide. While sitting and waiting I noticed the grandeur of the building, it was covered in white marble that gave off a feeling of extreme cleanliness. The whole place was so clean that it almost felt wrong.  A women approached us and led us upstairs, she was loud bubbly and seemed very interested in us. She led us to the first floor where we were told was filled with lots of information points about the history of Scientology and other projects they have.  The videos shown were very dated, looking as if it was made in powerpoint.
