Well, as a former Mormon and a former Scientologist, let me make a few corrections to your comment. First, while Mormonism has splintered into sects(most notable schisms in 1844 and 1890), the Salt Lake church insists on an absolute blind obedience to its teachings. And Scientology has splinter movements most notably the one called the Freezone.

Actually, Scientology has its own dating system used only in rare instances. Years are suffixed AD meaning ‘After Dianetics’ . So 2022 would be ’72AD’ meaning seventy-two years after Dianetics was published.

Ye Hubbared loved speed but also loved to condemn it’s usage in medicine. (ADHD)

BTW what does David Miscavige think about giving Amphetamines after an dianetics session? Was Hubbard wrong according to DM?

He went on to ask him what specific ills but he was one step ahead and didn’t specify and assertively said he cannot give health advise.

I wonder what if any benefit this book has – some swear by it and say without it they would be lost but most don’t talk highly of it.

Hubbard wasn’t the only writer to be powered by cigarettes and bennies. Ayn Rand did the same thing. Hubbard had no problem with stimulants as this didn’t threaten his racket. LSD on the other hand …

With vacuous words he did bellow
Weighed down by his blubber
The great L. Ron Hubbard
Preached doctrines as shaky as jello

Yes, good assessment of the beast. Once caught up in that self perpetuating maelstrom of the mind, life itself goes out of focus and a crystal clear insanity takes its place. Truly, nothing good comes of Scientology. Just look at the people in it, especially the long term staff or SO beating that drum. Heart wrenching to see lives wasted like that.

Ha ha ha. Yes first they blame low stats on Covid and then say they had highest evers despite Covid. I wish someone would ask them, which statement is the lie? Surprise! It’s both statements.
