Don't think so.

The good thing is that Scientology is getting more acceptance due to our good works, expansion and longevity.

Books by L Ron Hubbard are the best place to find out about Scientology though, followed by your local church and www.scientology.org

In Scientology we stick to the principle that the original source of information is the best place to get it - otherwise you get the chinese whispers effect.

I'm happy to talk about my experiences though.

If starting one's own religion was such a good way to make money then I think a few more people would have done it!

From faq.scientology.org:

Q: Did L. Ron Hubbard state that the way to make money was to start a religion?


A: No.
This is an unfounded rumor. One individual once claimed L. Ron Hubbard made such a comment during a lecture in 1948. The only two people who could be found who attended that very lecture in 1948 denied that Mr. Hubbard ever made this statement. And Mr. Hubbard himself certainly denied it.
Another famous writer from the same era who did make such a statement was George Orwell, who wrote to a friend in 1938 that “there might be a lot of cash in starting a new religion.” His letter was later published as part of a collection of letters which was circulated widely. It seems that Orwell’s comment has been misattributed to Mr. Hubbard. This was recognized by courts in Germany who enjoined those who had attributed such a statement to Mr. Hubbard from repeating it.

Dianetics is very good although care is needed to understand it. It's called Book One in Scientology - the first book which explains what auditing is and why it works. Many different types of auditing were developed from there but they stem from Dianetics.

I recommend "Introduction to Scientology Ethics" - the book I read after Dianetics which is easier going than Dianetics and one of my favourites. It's so useful once you really understand what it says and its applications.
