This post was written by a true Scientologist.
NOBODY except a Scientologist calls Hubbrd "LRH".
"Dissemination" is an oft used word in Scientology, almost a battle cry.
Nobody now calls Hubbard's swindling gibberish "philosophy", except Scientologists.
" (two extremes... the truth is somewhere in the middle)." Actually, I know little about Dederich but your comment regarding the truth is lobsided... as there is no truth on Hubbard's side, leaving only one end.
Dederich, by the way, pleaded no contest to charges of being a party to placing a rattlesnake
in the mailbox of a lawyer who had recently sued and won a case against Dederich. Dederich's philosophy you say, is what?
That is a nice response. I approve.
Onto my question:
I've only been on this board a short while. My "cult" experience was very real, but 10 years removed, so I have a much more objective viewpoint of it now, but I have memories and experiences of being what some might call brainwashed.
I like the Rick Ross site a lot, but it does seem to invite a good bit of favorable reviews of scientology, while the reviews of other "cults" is much more universally harsh.
am I wrong about that or is Scientology more warming regarded by Mr. Ross than most of the others?
I'm curious about scientology, but at the same time very wary of it. I did the Landmark training recently and I had a good experience with it, though I fully understand why many view it negatively. I think it has both positive and negative aspects to it. As a rule, I'm open to the good as well as the bad in these so called "trainings". I think, if they didn't have any attractive elements to them, they wouldn't sell and they'd go out of business.
