Excellent article, Mike. You know, when I was in – and I’m embarrassed to admit this, by the way, but when I was in, and I got promo like this that had amazing stats like this, on crime and so forth, whether it was the Way To Happiness booklets having been given out someplace, or some major good effects the IAS caused in some area or another, when I was in (hangs head in shame) I just believed it. I really did! I never questioned it, never!.

It never occurred to me that the people who wrote this promo would be lying, that they were even capable of lying about such things. Talk about being gullible.

(Don’t worry, I’m ok. I’m laughing at myself now, and its fine.)

To continue: it was only when I started reading Marty’s blog that the truth began to dawn on me that, wow, it was ALL lies, no truth in ANY of this stuff! They just wanted more money!
And it took a while for this truth to really sink in. Its not that I refused to believe it but I resisted it, I processed it slowly because I wanted to believe that the money I had donated had at least done some good.

Oh, well, we live and learn, and as someone in politics said, “Trust, but verify”. Well, that’s exactly what I, in UTR mode, began to do, back in the day, and as you can guess, the cult was fine with “trust”, but “verify”? Not so much.

No, they didn’t t seem to appreciate being asked to verify their claimed statistics. In fact, they were downright suspicious of me for asking! For, in their collective “mind”, for lack of a better term, there had to be some reason why I would even ASK. Like, something wrong with ME. Not with THEM! Oh, no! Something wrong with me, that I just didn’t accept whatever they said as absolute fact.

And so, here I am today; disaffected, undoubtedly overt & withold ridden, out-ethics, undoubtedly miserable, failing in life, bitter, defrocked – actually, I never had a frock, but never mind, defrocked, apostatic, and last but not least, thrilled that all it took to get me out of a ruthless cult was a series of on-point questions, so that now here I am with y’all on the friendly fringes of the internet.

So, any of you out there who are lurking and UTR, if you want out, if you’re ready, just ask good question, and insist on being answered. With high ARC of course. Do that, and watch what happens.

Got to hand it to them. The old-timey patent medicine men would sell you coloured water full of laxatives to get your money. IAS is saving on the water bill by just selling you blatant lies.

it’s a nonsense! I am sure that if you ask to anyone on the street in Amsterdam if he has ever read a booklet Way to H, he would just say no.
They go to IAS event to be reassured that it’s not true those rumours that scientology is failling.
They are happy again, They give money and maybe can sleep happily. Their bubble universe is still there.
