| Introduction
Scientology
grew out of the self-help book "Dianetics: The Modern
Science of Mental Health" written by L. Ron Hubbard,
a prolific writer of science fiction, fantasy and westerns
for pulp magazines. In fact, Dianetics premiered in an abbreviated
form in the magazine, "Astounding Science Fiction."

The
History Of Scientology
From
its inception in 1950 as Dianetics, organized Scientology has been
shrouded in mystery and surrounded by controversy. In the 60's,
the Food and Drug Administration raided Scientology's headquarters
and charged them with practicing medicine without a license. In
the 70's, the FBI conducted more raids, sending top Scientology
leaders to prison for infiltrating the US Government.
