    I kind of liked all the literacy one can get from the Key to Life course, clearing the most common, basic words of the English language. Learning some basic grammar was cool. Has always served me well in using the language.

    Uh, Oh yeah, I guess I could have always taken some English classes and even learned grammar in school better.

    Plus it was really nice to really tell your story and have someone really listen in the introductory auditing. Gave me good feelings.

    Uh,…But I get that now when I’m talking with a friend or family or sharing with a counselor or in a group counseling.

    I believe there is some value in those basic things. It’s just a crying shame you have to become a part of an oppressive godless cult and deny any other family and friends to a group of arrogant narcissists.

    There were some real nice people there but in the structure of malignant, oppressive control freaks. I am proud to be free of their crazy making mindset.

    Hope you all have a great Christmas season with lots of joy in family and friends! Plus there is a pretty cool birthday coming up on December 25th.

      Hey Constantine,
      Nope. No value in those “basic things”. Lies? Yes. Things that seem like “listening” or “communicating”? Sure, but they aren’t: it’s indoctrination, non-consensual hypnosis, and cultic programming, all sold as both “science-based therapy” and “spiritual uplift”, whilst being neither.
      Scientology was DESIGNED to confuse, degrade, and subjugate its adherents. And it has done so quite effectively for decades.

    Auditing: Is a Hubbard Scientology word, dodging and euphemistically making it sound more legitimate. Auditing is truly Hubbard’s brand of quackery pseudo-therapy and exorcism, and it’s the core practice of Scientologists who do the Hubbard “path” of spiritual “case” improvement.

    Lower auditing is warmup stuff.
    Middle auditing shoots for a person’s past lives trauma that supposedly is “Cleared” making one a “Clear”, free of the effects of one’s past lives trauma.
    Upper secret Scientology has five long extensive steps of exorcism, to supposedly remove surplus souls (the “body-thetans” pronounced BODY THAY TONS) off of one, and doing so also eliminates all leaking “case” those body-thetans were leaking into our minds, so the exorcism of Scientology also supposedly eliminates all “case” from these surplus souls harming us anymore)

    This is soul quackery, and it is very much similar to soul snipe hunting. Placebo at best, and not worthy of just calling it “auditing” but I think it decent to periodically remind the audience that auditing is soul “case” improvement pseudo-therapy and exorcism.

    Xenu’s the outer space bad guy who dumped the surplus souls who each were messed up with “implants” (the R6 implants) that Xenu caused all these surplus souls to be implanted with.

    The surplus souls’ “cases” leak into our soul minds, thus exorcising them is supposedly a good thing.

    It’s quackery. Remind the audience of this please.

      Chuck sez: ‘Placebo at best…

      Exactly. Anything anyone ever benefitted from in scientology is placebo at best. There is NO research or testing behind any of it. Hubbard pulled it all out of his ass as he grifted along. All he ever created is a world class con that continues to extract millions of dollars every year from gullible marks.
