1. You're not a frog, frogs and humans have very different bodies.
2. It's not plausible because over millions of years humans evolved using what techniques and methods were most beneficial to survive and reproduce.
3. If we didn't have sexual reproduction, genetic variation would be incredibly limited. Evolution would take much, much, MUCH longer--because there is no need to stimulate natural selection through a tendency of breeding with the most fertile. [That's why certain aspects of the human body seem more attractive to most people]
4. I don't know for sure THE SPECIFICS for why asexual reproduction is plausible on a larger scale, but if I had to take a stab in the dark I'd guess something that has to do with development time, delicacy of the offspring during development, and the amount of resources [food and water] youd have to consume in order to sustain the offspring as it is attached.

Sorry, but unless you're a namekian, nothing humanoid is going to be producing asexually any time soon.

I'm forg-kin! Stop triggering me you kinphobic cis dick!!!

im eat your legs omnomnomnoimnfrnb

my legs are a delicacy, imperials. Can you say the same?

Because asexual reproduction does not lead to genetic variation, something complex organisms desperately need to survive as a species.

Lots of bias here though. You have to remember that it is a very small minority of people that buy into it so all of your "should be common sense" arguments don't matter. They only need to trick a super small amount of the population to buy it and they're set, which they succeeded. This is all assuming that it actually works like this, the lie detector machine and the story with a friend/interrogation room were just an example of how it's possible for a few people to slip up.

How about they don't make it look like an interrogation room and they don't make it look like a lie detector?

It's so far fetched that any movie on the same level would also have super powers or aliens in it.

Pretty easy to do considering how crazy it seems that a blackmailing organization exists and it's hiding behind being a fake religion organization. Even after reading all this, I'm not convinced that the church of scientology is keeping important members because they have blackmail on it, it's such a bold claim and I haven't seen enough proof.

An easy way for an organization like this to work is this: everyone has stupid friends that they still trust, stupid friends buy into scientology and reveal important secrets, scientology tells your stupid friend to convince you to join, your stupid friend tells you it's legit, you go to the church to check it out, everything seems amazing and appealing to you, everything they talk about makes sense because they've prepared a script of appealing information that only lasts about an hour and if you try to talk to them about it after the hour they're ruse is over, so you're comfortable with it after 30 minutes, they leave you alone with a lie detector in a room and tell you to talk to it and it will test you blah blah, everyone was so nice and blackmail is so outrageous that it doesn't even enter your thoughts when you tell the machine and a hidden recording device that you committed a federal crime a few months ago, and boom they got you.

Or that stupid friend could've told them about your crime and they force you to join through just that. You can refuse and spend your life in prison and lose all your money, or you can just go alone with it and lose like 30% (or whatever) of your total fortune which still leaves you with over a hundred million dollars to retire comfortably.

They typically aren't holding on to their celebrity members through blackmail, although I don't know what happened with Isaac Hayes between the time the Scientology episode aired and the time he quit. Usually the treat celebrities like they are royalty and often much different than they treat regular members. They do this because they know having people like Tom Cruz and John Travolta will attract more paying membership. They figure they will make a lot more money from the publicity these celebrities bring to their "religion" than they would make from charging the celebrities for the "services" they offer. However, they will blackmail, torture and just all around abuse normal members if they think they can benefit from it. They are also sue happy and will create frivolous lawsuits as retaliation for what they view as attacks on the church which get held up in court for months or years with the purpose of financially destroying a person, family or business because they know most people and small businesses can not afford such a suit for such a long period of time. They are just a cult that is run like a corrupt corporation with way to much money and an insatiable hunger for even more money.

Would admit those things during an initiation for a religion?

Because calling someone out on blackmailing you will make them reveal the information you wanted kept secret. So instead of being a slave to the blackmailer, you call him out on it, he gets in a bit of trouble but he also reveals to the world that you raped a little boy and hid the body in X location 10 years ago or maybe that you committed fraud and stole millions and got away with it.
