What a curious question to ask for someone in Biloxi. There are many sides to Scientology. There are those that are slavishly devoted; there are those that are curious about the doctrine but feel diminished by the organization when they question precepts and then there are many of us who have seen those many sides and may be the true Scientologists.

L. Ron Hubbard believed that as your progressed up the Bridge that you become more and more independent. The problem is that in the early 1980s a small fraction within the Church were centered on controlling the members along with raising revenue. Additionally, these individuals had forgotten or were not aware of their origins: “Before the beginning there was a Cause…” If you would like to correspond or have questions you are welcome to email me at
[mod] sorry. no private e-mails. People may PM you instead [/mod]

Please, if you have no knowledge of the Church of Scientologydo not respond. It is a complex organization and lack of knowledge prohibits an intellectual conversation. Thank you. Mike

Isn't that a cult? Never really heard of it here, thankfully. Heard about it in the news though.

If there are any in Biloxi, they are closet cases.. meaning not open about what they believe. The Mississippi Gulf coast is far more open to other religions, but that is not one that would be well perceived, or welcomed.

I have known people of many religions and beliefs in Mississippi, but I have never met anyone who professes Scientology. I don't think there is a church like that around here.

How can you have an intellectual conversation about beliefs?

I used to drive past that monument to greed on sunset every day. Never did I see those folks do one charitable thing the entire time I lived there - and if they had been I WOULD have heard about it cuz you can't swing a dead cat in LA without hitting a scientologist. I wouldn't say scientologists would be unwelcome in Biloxi, but I sure can't see any reason for them to be there - there's just not enough money.
