The intention behind these quotes is to "prove" that unbelievable and unachievable claims were made by Ron Hubbard. Beyond that, to hold the subject to ridicule, and create the impression that Scientology is a worthless scam.
I think that for nearly everyone on the list, our viewpoints are not likely to be changed one way or the other by either side of the argument.
Smitty, you, dr3k and some others are half preaching to your own choir, and insulting the rest of us. That sh*t you shovel about how you "no longer have ARC breaks" since you left Scientology, and how "Scientologists are programmed" to be offended is intended to offend, as if that made you right, which, apparently is your actual goal.
I'd like to think that there are better purposes for this list than this.
This is no spirited exchange of viewpoints; this is a make-wrong. You apparently feel threatened by the idea that, despite how you feel, there are people who have done well through Scientology, so much that you can't allow another person to have his win and let it go at that.
I'm sorry for how you and many people were mistreated, betrayed, abused and taken advantage of by people who claimed to be practicing, protecting and/or enforcing Scientology. Get in line, its obviously a very long line.
But for Gods sake consider letting it go enough to make the distinction between the actual subject of Scientology and the organization(s).
Love, Dex
