I too have had experience of people whose lives have been damaged by Scientology.

For example a woman who was an alcoholic, but had managed to overcome her addiction and had left drink behind.

As with most alcoholics, she went on to say the usual "I am an alcoholic and I haven't had a drink since ... x ... "

Great - positive!

Then she got involved with scientology...

They "cured" her of her alcoholism and told her it was ok to start drinking again and that she'd be fine to enjoy it without risk of her addiction taking over her life again.


Any real scientist knows that addiction is not a state of mind but a chemical fact.


So Guess what happened ...



... no ... Guess ....



Ok - I'll tell you ... she redeveloped her drink problem.




The fact is that these guys are crackpot loonies with far too much money who present themselves as scientific in their methodology and FILL PEOPLES HEADS WITH LIES.


Amos - however you look at it, if a guy says that the best way to make a million is to start a religion, then starts a religion and makes a million from it, that it consistent with the idea of wanting to start a religion to make a million.

I think that logic is fairly clear.
