PERIOD!!!! ?
Have you tried Tampax and Midol?
yes...
By his own admission CoS was designed by Ron to be a shop for the shearing of sheep
You might never grant any virtue or value to Hubbard's work and welcome both to your judgement and it's expression
But I will never ever dishonor myself by denying a large and deeply felt gratitude to L Ron Hubbard for engineering the tools I used to bring vast relief and profound spiritual epiphany to my lifelong best friend Billy Martin as his wife, son, sister and I gave him 24/7 TLC in the last few weeks of his life
I hope you will show me enough respect to examine a brief account of the happening on page six of "The Verdict" thread.
Thank you.
P.S. Jay-ziss! I'd like to be on a mind altering drug rather than be suffering the mind altering effects of advancing years and seriously declining health
CP.
Yes, you have my respect with regard to Billy Martin. (I did read your post). I've also said a few times in various posts that I have no problem with anyone who wishes to be in scientology. It's their choice.
However, the ABUSES of scientology must stop. This includes the financial fleecing of people, ruining kids lives, disconnection of families, using Sea Org slave labour to effectively line Miscavige's pockets etc.......
Really the whole thing should have a government health warning on it.
My personal verdict on the benefits of scientology is that some basic courses will be of benefit to some people, and others will be of benefit to other people. But the benefits, in my opinion, in comparison with the whole entity, are very small.
When it comes to stuff like the OT levels I think that they will be of benefit to anyone who "believes", rather like most religions work with their believers. And if you don't believe, then it won't work!!
Take care.
PS. Mind altering drugs may not stave off advancing years and declining health, but you may not notice that you have either of these things afterwards! lol
