The Doctrine of Exchange is a central tenet〔(''Hernandez v. Commissioner'', U.S. Supreme Court )〕 of Scientology, which dictates that for spiritual well-being, "anytime a person receives something, he must pay something back"〔http://www.usdoj.gov/osg/briefs/1988/sg880419.txt〕 and balance "inflow" with "outflow".〔 The Church of Scientology has presented this as the reason some of its services, such as auditing, its central practice of Scientology,〔(Scientology Counselling - The Practice of Scientology )〕 must never be given away, but must be paid for. Quid pro quo transactions are prohibited in tax-exempt organizations, and the Church of Scientology has argued in its requests for tax exemption that Scientology courses must have fixed fees because of this religious doctrine. ==Exceptions== Not all services fall under the Doctrine. The Church has identified some services as examples of services where "no donation is expected from members":〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Scientology Today : ''How are Churches of Scientology supported financially?'' )〕 * Listening to lectures, whether from fellow parishioners or playing L. Ron Hubbard’s lectures on tape * Reading Scientology scripture in the Church library * Meeting with fellow parishioners * Receiving counseling (but not auditing) from a Scientology chaplain * Attending Sunday services, sermons, weddings, christenings or funerals 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doctrine of Exchange」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
