(As a note, the byline is credited to Kristie Plantinga who appears to be in charge of Natalie&#8217;s website marketing). No matter who wrote it, the piece contains helpful advice (and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is quite surreal. Here is a scientologist, conducting a &#8220;seminar&#8221; in a scientology org, to attract interest in his services of &#8220;keeping people out of the hands of psychiatry.&#8221;  Like Lisa McPherson was kept out of the hands of psychiatry? There are two things about this that boggle the mind: First, every scientologist is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have written a few pieces here about the general inclination of scientologists to vote Republican. Hubbard&#8217;s disdain for government and welfare are important reasons why scientologists tend not to be liberal/Democrats. But the biggest reason has to do with psychiatry. In this, scientologists are single-issue voters and virtually every one of them would never [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am often asked this question, and my answer is usually that while there is no hard and fast rule, scientologists tend to lean Republican because of Hubbard&#8217;s words: He opposed &#8220;big government&#8221; (pretty much ALL government &#8212; it&#8217;s &#8220;group bank&#8221;) He opposed welfare &#8212; that is &#8220;rewarding downstats.&#8221; He opposed taxes. He believed homosexuality [&#8230;]]]></description>

This is the sort of thing that scientologists LOVE to latch onto.

They grab onto &#8220;group insanities&#8221; and toss off a few examples, starting with &#8220;refusal to employ someone or allow them to belong&#8221; &#8212; in the face of scientology&#8217;s disconnection policy?

					<description><![CDATA[CCHR people are amazing. They churn out an apparently endless stream of accusations about psychiatry that complain about the psychs doing exactly what they do every day- and utterly devoid of irony. Forced labor? How about being on staff in a scientology org? Or even more, in the Sea Org? &#160; &#160; Money motivation? &#160; [&#8230;]]]></description>
