How are they similar?

Both are clearly CULTs.

They both have unique, far out doctrines and theology compared to other more traditional religions, but its more about their organizational cult-like control over their membership where the similarity between Mormonism and Scientology becomes clear. They are also a very wealthy church taking in a lot of revenue from its members without disclosing financial statements.

This.

scientology and mormonism are siamese twins joined at the lips.

Jesus can not manage to pull off a second coming,
(in large part due to the fact that He never came the first time)
while L. Ron Hubbard can be viewed as the second coming of PERVERT Joseph Smith.

One's a Hoover and one's a Dyson. It's a commonality of suction.

Neither allow their members to associate with apostates (suppressive people--for Scientology). We wouldn't want you getting any truth now!!

They both demand money from its members in exchange for

special privileges.

They both ostracized and denounced members who leave.

They both teach pure fiction that Smith and Hubbard have

written and it is passed off as true doctrine.

Both Joseph Smith and L. Ron Hubbard were narcissistic

assholes who had a god complex. They both started a "religion"

in order to make money since according to Hubbard "religion

isn't taxed".

Both have celebrities as members, but if you go by that, then Scientology would have to be the truer church.

Both cults harass those trying to leave.

Both require money in order to receive privileges, and neither discloses their financial statements to members.

Both believe in some type of alien, as Mormonism teaches that God is basically an alien from a planet called Kolob.

They shun apostates, or subersives as they're called in Scientology.

Scientology exists to make Mormonism appear slightly more mainstream mainstream by comparison.

Well it appears to me that an obvious difference is the leadership.

Miscavige runs the show from the top down in a way that Brigham Young would envy.

His heavy handed tactics will be ultimately what torpedoes the scam and real soon.

Which is another significant difference. Although the Morg will take increasing fire, it will flounder on for who knows how many decades?

The LDS Church is run by tall half-dead smelly old narcissistic white men.

The COS is run by short hyperactive perfume-phobic** sociopathic white men. (Miscavige and Tom Cruise).

Both churches hate gay people.

They both believe that if they encountered someone on the road who was badly injured in a car crash, that only THEY could help them through some supernatural healing power.

They both believe in a deity called money.

Gay people? That's bad news for Glam Gazingo,er,John Travolta.

LRonHubbard had a gay son who either committed suicide or was murdered.

As an allergy sufferer this is the ONLY thing in Scientology I could agree with.

Do they ever cooperate with each other or band together for their own purposes such as keeping their tax exempt status or opposing gay rights?

Ya mean to suggest the Corolene family hooking up with the Gadianton robbers?

Stan would never allow his minions to cooperate with each other thank God.

Both actively supported California's Prop 8.

Both had truly evil, vindictive, paranoid second leaders (Brigham Young, David Miscavige) after their crazy founders died.

Scientology - Xenu

Mormonism - Elohim

The spirits in our bodies
_________________________

Scientology - Everybody has a spirit in their bodies. Thetans are spirits that came from Xenu's planets, they screw with us and we have to get them out of our bodies so we can be a free soul.

Mormonism - Spirit children of Elohim come from near Kolob, they inhabit our animal bodies that came from evolution and that makes us human instead of animals. We can't let the spirits of Lucifer's followers get into our bodies or we will be possessed.

Eternal progression

Scientology - After death, the spirit keeps getting born again into bodies until you move up the bridge enough that you no longer need a body and have power to control matter, space, time, and energy and can know everything.

Mormonism - We get one chance, this life only, and if we are good enough we can become gods and can contol matter, space, time and energy, we will know everything and will be able to create own planets and become gods.

The fate of the galactic rulers
_______________________________

Scientology - Xenu was overthrown and locked in a mountain on one of the planets

Mormonism - Elohim's people followed the plan of Jesus in the pre-mortal life and overthrew Lucifer's followers who were sent to earth as spirits without bodies so they could screw with us during our mortal lives and prevent us from being good enough to become gods.
