Speaking for myself many wins were permanent and life affirming. I know very many people who have had similar results. That CO$ often overstates claims of good results I have no issue with.
To claim the good results of myself and others are false is made from a position of willful ignorance. Deciding beforehand that such results are not possible is as blinkered a viewpoint as saying a critic of Scn is an SP.
Your statement that claiming good and permanent results is fraud and evil tarnishes yourself not others.
I do not think or state that someones benefits from mainstream therapy is a delusion on their part. I have family members who are psychologists one of which has a doctorate in the subject, worked for the NHS as a psychologist and has now established her own thriving practice.
OK, I have to admit that I may have been a tad extreme. There
may have been some "results" from Scientology that have been longer-lasting-ish. I have no evidence one way or the other. I am aware that some people believe the Scientology helped them "feel better". ish.
However, the truth is that such "results" are
indistinguishable from "gains" from self-reflection, meditation, learning, growing and just living. There is no "Release", "Clear" or "OT" which
would be noticeable in the world. The alleged "results" are
only "I feel better", "I'm more aware" (whatever that means) and the like. No
homo novis, no superior being, no supermen.
So, if the "results" from all of Scientology are indistinguishable from "results" from a good, contemplative walk (and I've had those), then can we give any weight to Scientology's claims of being a
unique path to something special? I don't think so.
The fraud of Scientology is "Release", "Clear", "OT",
homo novis and all the rest of Hubbard's (and True Believers) claims. I stand by that. I also stand by my statement that Scientology does nothing unique or special. Throw it all out and we would lose nothing (not that I necessarily support throwing it out).
You are a True Believer. That's fine. You believe you "got gains". Also fine. But I know hundreds of ex-Scientologists who say they did not get anything significant -- and often were greatly harmed. The majority have voted with their feet and don't do
any Scientology any more. That pretty much says everything one needs to know about any "value" from Scientology.
