Church of Scientology of Tampa

"Scientology is formed in the tradition of ten thousand years of religious philosophy and considers itself a culmination of the searches which begun with the Veda, the Tao, Buddhism, Christianity, and other religions. Scientology is a gnostic faith in that it knows it knows. This is its distinguishing characteristic from most of its predecessors. Scientology can demonstrate that it can attain the goals set for Man by all religions, which are wisdom, good health and immortality."

Written by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion. This quote is from the book, "Scientology: A New Slant on Life".

My friend told me about scientology. She knew I was going through some things and thought this would help me. I took her advice. She went through couple of courses, auditing, and purif. She signed me up for a course and some auditing. When they were going over my medical history they said that auditing will not help me b/c of my past medical condition. That was strange b/c my friend did auditing session with me before I started my course. So that did not make sense for me. I gave them more information than what they required thinking that I could trust them and get the most benefit for my auditing session and course work. I asked the lady why I was denied for auditing she could not give me an exact answer, she said it was complicated to explain which is also kind of strange b/c when I took a course there, if you don’t understand a word or a phrase they make you look it up and find out the exact meaning of the word. They will not let you move forward with your course until you understood the word and the paragraph. So it seems strange that they would give me an answer as to why I was denied. After getting the bad news, I stormed out of the room and left, said that this is not for me. The lady told me before I left that I should continue taking courses and have my friend do the auditing. They can't help me. The course supervisor called me and a few other people at the place called me to try to help me. I ignored there calls. Come to find out that the information was over looked and in fact that was approved for auditing. By that time it was too late, my trust was broken. They agreed to give a free auditing session before this happened. At that point since my trust is broken I did not feel that the auditing might not help me until the trust is rebuilt. I requested 2 free auditing session for their mess up and an apology letter from the person who messed up. Never received an apology letter nor did I get my second free auditing session. They said that it is not there fault for giving me the wrong info. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY AND THEY MAKE YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE GIVING A DONATION WHICH IS NOT. DONATIONS ARE FREE WILL. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE THEY SAY THEY LIKE TO HELP PEOPLE BUT THEY ARE A BUNCH IF PRICKS.
