L Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition — Attraction in Los Angeles

My friend Troy and I went in there a few years ago because it was free. We were curious what this museum was all about, so we checked it out. It's an in-depth history of Dianetics author, L. Ron Hubbard. Now, first of all, I'm not a Scientologist, just an open minded person that enjoys science fiction. I thought this museum was a little interesting. The Museum features a lot of his sci-fi books and lectures. There're a few alien statues in there from the author's books like Battlefield Earth and Mission Earth. I saw John Travolta's awful film "Battlefield Earth" a few years ago, and the statue in there look nothing like the character in the movie. The Alien didn't have dreadlocks and club kid boots! It's much more scarier and looks like a Giant Reptilian Insect of some sort. The lady that conducted the tour was very nice, though, and so were the young women working there. I asked one of the ladies if they believe in Aliens and she was taken back by surprise that I asked her that question. I wasn't trying to catch her off guard; I'm just a curious person. You know what I'm saying? Besides, who doesn't believe in Extra Terrestrials? I certainly do. I loved the movie E.T. :-) There was a device there for auditing called the E-Meter which reads the stress level of a person. The meter has two cans attached to the machine, and it measures subtle changes in a person's electrical current. You hold the cans in each hand, and they ask you tough questions or questions that make you feel uneasy. My friend and I tried the machine and the meter barely moved. The lady was surprised my stress level was so low. I told her it's because I meditate a lot, laugh a lot and forgive a lot, so I guess that's why it was so low. Nothing stresses me out. The other lady said, Scientologist don't meditate which I thought was interesting. Maybe if they teach meditation, they wouldn't need that machine. I'm not judging, just observing. We liked the tour; we thought it was interesting. They also have some interesting books in there though like how to detoxify your body and other self-improvement books. However, make no mistake, though: the museum is intended as an introduction to their church. It's not for me though since I like to meditate....

A well-made exhibition but with many easy to spot fallacies. This just goes even further to show the truth about scientology. I will agree with the other reviewers that the museum is well-made and the tour is professional and does not pressure anyone to join. But to anyone who actually knows about L. Ron Hubbard's history knows that they pretty much took every chance they could to make him look better and glossed over the worse parts of his life. They focus on his travels to Asia and how he absolutely loved it there. If that is true, why did he make racist comments about China? If he was such a hero in the army, why did he have to lie about his wounds and medals? I tried out their e-meter too, and anyone who knows even basic neuroscience knows that it simply measures electrical signals sent via nerves from chemical neurotransmitters. I tested this out and found that the e-meter is extremely sensitive, perhaps purposely to pick up tiny resistance to look correct. Don't go to this waste of time. You already know that...
