How to Be a Scientologist
The Church of Scientology is a religion founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. It has been made popular by several celebrities, including Tom Cruise and John Travolta. It has also caused controversy due to its unorthodox beliefs, as well as its intense secrecy. Regardless, the religion still continues to expand, and draw in new recruits. If you're interested in joining the Church of Scientology, you can begin by taking a free personality test.

Purchase the books and take the courses that your counselor advises you to take. If you can't afford the books and classes, your local Church of Scientology may be able to let you work to pay them off, but this requires long hours away from your family, and you'll need to recruit a lot of new members. If you can't do this, you may be rejected from the church.

Tips & Warnings
Scientology costs a lot of money, and isn't founded on anything other than L. Ron Hubbard's own thoughts and writing. The official Scientology website even states that ". . . Dianetics and Scientology were founded by L. Ron Hubbard, and all the scriptures are solely comprised of his writings and recorded lectures . . ."
