It does require a significant measure of self truth and certainly mental-emotional dicipline.

While Hubbard may be less than a model citizen I doubt he's a nutcase.

Weather the organization is truly tyrannical is probably still open to debate, but some pretty unsavory stories has been told by former members.

if you thought hubbard was just a harmless nutcase, read the below link-his own son knew he was insane.

Please write your post as if the next person to read it is a Scientologist who is a member of SF and show some respect for thier beliefs as you would those of any faith that may be different than your own. Difference of opinion, great! Ridicule, not great.

From the Spiritual Forums Rules:

Respect: Please respect other member’s and their beliefs, opinions, and views at all times. Abuse and abusive posts (of any nature) will not be tolerated. Breaches of this ruling will result in posts being removed, warnings and if continued, DA. Mocking, and belittling other members also counts as disrespect.

:::steps off his Moderator Soap Box:::

Now on with the show

then i guess i won't post on this thread anymore, because i'm not just voicing my opinion....i'm voicing my EXPERIENCE with these people.

i lived a little chapter of my life dealing with these people.

i know it's a dangerous organization and i feel others need to at least hear the other side than what a 'harmless' little group it is.

if someone wanted to stick their hand in a fire and you said, 'don't do that, it will hurt', would that be wrong?

so, remove all my posts if you want. but please, to the rest of you-do your research-talk to ex-scientologists before you follow hook, line and sinker.

goodbye.
