Scientology is often criticized by those who claim it practices medicine without a license. They protest this heavily, claiming they do NOT treat or cure illnesses. Of course, in the scientology world, mental illness is NOT an illness. It is just a bunch of false labels used to persuade people to buy drugs (kind of like scientology is a bunch of false information used to get people to buy scientology)... In scientology, being prescribed a "psych drug" makes you an "illegal pc" ineligible for auditing (though plenty of illegal pc's have been persuaded to hand over money, only to later be … [Read more...]
Unnamed Sources
What are they afraid of by never including anyone's name? I'll tell you: Either the person does not really exist, and this is just made up copy like testimonials for the local greasy spoon written by the owner, his wife and family members, or They are scientologists who happen to be "a police officer" or a "crime documentary producer" (who makes videos for CCHR...), or The people who write these have NO IDEA they have anything to do with scientology, or that their statements are going to be used to promote scientology. If their name was included someone might contact them and ask … [Read more...]

For many years, though Hubbard railed repeatedly against psychiatry, and called for psychiatrists to be shut down as a profession -- he had one caveat. The insane should be left to the institutions. They were barred from participating in scientology auditing. It was one of the many contradictions that can be found in Hubbard's writings - while he claimed all psychs were maiming people, he didn't want scientology to be involved in dealing with the … [Read more...]
Mission Impossible
Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if someone did this with the church of scientology? Put together a form to file complaints with different agencies (consumer affairs, justice department) and ran a campaign to get people to file them each month? Would there be more complaints filed about the church of scientology or about psychiatrists? I would put my money on scientology. Maybe Ken Kramer should start a campaign to clean up the field of mental healing in the church of scientology? Now that is a true Mission: Impossible.
