No, the contradictions never stop coming as it takes TIME to review the heaping BIGsteaming mass of his verbal diarrhea while comparing it to what results-based SCIENTIFIC investigation has discovered.

Foolproof,

Read Psalm 26 ( Text below }



Psalm 26

Of David.

1Vindicate me, Lord,

for I have led a blameless life;

I have trusted in the Lord

and have not faltered.

2Test me, Lord, and try me,

examine my heart and my mind;

3for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love

and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.

4I do not sit with the deceitful,

nor do I associate with hypocrites.

5I abhor the assembly of evildoers

and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6I wash my hands in innocence,

and go about your altar, Lord,

7proclaiming aloud your praise

and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

8Lord, I love the house where you live,

the place where your glory dwells.

9Do not take away my soul along with sinners,

my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

10in whose hands are wicked schemes,

whose right hands are full of bribes.

11I lead a blameless life;

deliver me and be merciful to me.

12My feet stand on level ground;

in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.

A few years ago I attended a small psychic fair. The lead speaker was a fellow named Christopher DiCesare who had experienced a well documented haunting. It&#039;s unlikely that he could be convinced that his experience was hallucinatory.

All transcendental experiences might be the result of chemicals or chemicals being released in the brain - might be.

Why LSD and it&#039;s effects disqualifies everyone from joining the sea org might be an interesting topic.]]></description>

How Christian of you Dave! You&#039;re a real devil eh? But surely you should be wearing a hair shirt and whipping yourself for your uncharitable transgression here!

Foolproof,

As a PROUD, EXTREMELY-CONSERVATIVE SOUTHERN  BAPTIST &quot;Never-In&quot;, who wants to see nothing less than the TOTAL DESTRUCTION of Scientology ( the CULT that it is ), I have a suggestion for you . . .

Take the &quot;cans&quot; off your E-Meter, tie a string between them, pull the string tight, and have a &quot;meaningful conversation&quot;, maybe your first one ever .

The &quot;Clear Cognition&quot; is the point when you finally realize how badly you have been SCREWED by Scientology !

Got a question for you . . . So, where is Shelly Miscavige ?

‘…whether or not you agree with or like Scientology or L Ron Hubbard, both have Indisputably contributed to social dialogue by generating important discussions on  psychiatry, authoritarianism, holistic medicine, spiritual mythology, consciousness, unconsciousness, modernity, post-modernity, knowledge, beingness, reality, and (most importantly) what truly differentiates a cult from a religion and how social norms, biases, tribalism and fears of the UNKNOWN and the DIFFERENT contribute to how we make that determination.”

That’s a quote from the About page of the website “Critical Neo-Hubbardian Studies -- Sociology + Scientology,” hosted by a Sociology student at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. I would agree with what was stated. Here’s the context:
----------------------------------------

“I thought...why not do something different for once and approach the subject of Scientology and Dianetics from a sociological perspective? I wanted to challenge myself to look through the sensationalism and to consider Scientology&#039;s unique place in our discourse on minority religions and social phenomena as well as LRH&#039;s role as an abstract philosopher and key American intellectual.
