The bible says in John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Revelations 20:15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." There is a Scientologist headquarters in Clearwater Fl. I am not sure how much they charge to train you, but the Word of God says if we put our faith in anything other than Jesus will cost us our eternal place with Him. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life." This says eternal life is a free gift. In the book of 2 Opinions it says "Save your money and take the free gift".LOL I am sorry scripture offends you. I use it because 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

The Church of Scientology itself actually refrains from saying how much it costs, but it does note that, "The training delivered by Churches of Scientology could be compared to taking a course in a school or similar facility ... four years at a top university would run between $80,000 and $90,000 or even more. And those figures do not include additional costs such as books and supplies. Presumably CoS considers itself a top university, so in excess of that amount. Also from the CoS's website: "Furthermore, Scientology’s donation system is fair. Unlike some religions which tithe the incomes of all parishioners, regardless of how much they participate in religious activities, the Church of Scientology receives donations from those parishioners who avail themselves of the services it offers and in proportion to services actually received." In 1995, http://www.xenu.net estimated that the cost of rising to the highest level in the church could be as much as $365,000 – $380,000.

If you have to ask, you cannot afford it!

it cost you your free will, your life and possibly your soul

Former Scientologists report that it can cost between $350,000 and $500,000 to reach the higher levels when one becomes an "Operating Thetan", or OT. Co$ claims that they are here to share their "tech" in order to save the world from itself. That is very interesting. If the tech actually worked, and they were truly interested in saving the world, then they would give it away freely for the greater good. But the tech doesn't work and they aren't interested in saving the world. They are interested only in taking your money.
