Good stuff, things seem to be really moving against this sham 'Religion'. Wonder if the article mentions how Hubbard's autopsy revealed he was full of the psychiatric drug Vispiral ? Scientologists are mainly hypocrites of the highest order. Crowley

"Of course, if it's true that Mr. Hubbard was never injured during the war, then he never did heal himself using Dianetics principles, then Dianetics is based on a lie, and then Scientology is based on a lie." Tommy Davis
Did anyone else notice that this could be a chink in the cult's brainwashing of Tommy? He made the statement "Scientology is wrong if X" which in itself is an extremely gutsy statement for a victim of Scientology brainwashing to make, especially to a reporter. X was shown to him. His response was to invoke some great imaginary conspiracy to deny X, but I think that the damage to his brainwashing armor has been done.
This was on NPR tonight. I had to pull over, cheer loudly and celebrate. This is to be celebrated! http://www.npr.org/2011/02/08/133561256/the-church-of-scientology-fact-checked
It's strange that he refers to scientology as a 'religion' that people are 'drawn to because of faith'. Thought he might have a better understanding considering his previous work. Scientology is a fundamentalist group that uses thought reform and training routines to radicalise people it recruits.
I got the impression he was being meticulously respectful. Maybe even ironic. His fact-checking speaks for itself and is a lot more devastating than generalized accusations of brainwashing, etc., which can sound paranoid even if true. He's a superb example of how to do it right in my opinion.
I still say the proper meaning of "Interrobang" can be adduced if you overstrike the letter 't' onto the 'n' that precedes it.
Yeah, the message is stronger in this condensed form. As long as it stays visible, most people will draw the obvious conclusions.
Good one. Too much on Hubbard's phony naval exploits and not enough meat about how there's no such thing as a God damn engram, but it'll do.
in compliance with teh tech it's being done on a gradient, like the frog who didn't jump out of the heating pot soon enough.
. Because of LRHs feeble mind and concepts of learning, he created the flawed concept of gradients. The unfortunate adherents have their intellect and vocabulary stunted, not to mention free will.
Look, I don't care for the metric system any more than you do, but that's no reason to stick your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist! An engram is about two-thirds of an emgram. That's how gram-negative bacteria are differentiated from the gram-positive. And this is not even mentioning the well-known Continental equivalent of pound cake, the gram cracker.
