SCIENTOLOGY
A Handbook for Interaction and Study of the Church of L. Ron Hubbard & David Miscaivage: On Dianetics, Auditing, E-Meters, RPF, Operation Snow White, Narcanon, Xenu, and the Free Zone

–-
This book is a simple book of facts concerning the beliefs and operations of Scientology. It is meant for a quick analysis of the new religious movement that can be used as a handbook for interaction and further study. Please be cautious if you are to begin engaging in comprehensive interaction with this new religious movement, but also keep in mind that this is a group of human beings involved in making sense of the incredibly mysterious universe in their own way. There can be a sort of vacuum effect when dealing with new religious movements that can begin to suck you into their centers. If you do not wish to get stuck on the inside, prepare escape routes and develop your own tactics of disengagement before coming close. Getting in and out is a skill that usually must be developed over many years. If you wish to go in and out, best of luck and the grace of the universe to you in your endeavors.
