I'm amazed that so many so called intelligent people are taken in by scientology, Hubbard was a charlatan who was exposed a long time ago.

Maybe they're reading his actual material instead of the exposés, Eric. I imagine Jesus Christ himself would have a hard time starting a religion if he had to contend with the muckrakers. People will adopt all kinds of philosophical frameworks that look strange to others. I'd have thought you would know that by now.

BTW, how was he exposed, long ago?

But all that aside, Deering has no business putting philosophical or moral advice in a banjo case. Silly.

Did the booklet say anything, really, that seemd like bad advice? The examples you mention look pretty commendable, but I haven't read the booklet.
