YesIt gets quite a lot of criticism, especially recently, since Leah Remini has been talking about it lately and receiving a lot of attention for it.
Why do people not like Scientology? Is it really as bad as people make it out to be?
And why do you think that?
I don't have any use for it, personally. There are dozens and dozens of better spiritual paths and most don't charge you a fortune to follow them.

To exist a church has to have some way to get money, and Scientology is unique among religions in that it is applied and requires technology and church staff to administer counselling, training, etc. Scientology is a pay for what you want system. When you want the stuff, you pay for it, and when you don't, you don't. and I personally think this is much better than being required to pay a flat tithe regardless of whether you're taking anything from the Church, as it is with some religions.
Are you here to proselytize?
No, I'm here to dispel myths. I'm not even a Scientologist

Is it a myth that Scientologists will refuse to provide their services unless payment for them can be expected?
If that is true I take no issue with it. They are "services" after all, and they cannot be carried out for free.

When we bought our second house, a previous tenant had been a Scientologist, and we kept getting Scientology mail for him, though he had left no forwarding address with the realtor or the post office and never came back to enquire.Why do people not like Scientology?
