Hi OSD,The Rats are messing with the order of postings were you referring to a book by me? I was inserted into one of the early books on Ron without my knowledge or permission and my story was all changed ,I did not write half of it at all.So yes,I got burned.I may yet organize my poems and memories into some type of order but for now I love just reading and posting here.Speaking of books,you have such a bright beautiful soul,you could write a Surfers Guide to Life Without Scientology and tell your story.Wait what if everyone out wrote what happened to them.That would be one amazing trove of info on this Cult.Always Ann B.]]></description>

That&#039;s was really a very excellent analysis,  Statpush ; LRH&#039;s Qual system start from the assumption that Tech is infallible and always works , a VERY self-righteous attitude all by itself.

Having said that , and to be fair and balanced about this topic,  there were a lot of us (and I do mean a LOT of us) who willingly and w/out anybody even asking for it,  wrote many success stories while we were in. We did it because we DID experienced what we considered good results at whatever that we were doing at the time. We were honest about it.

 I have never ever written any S.S. out of coercion from any damn terminal,  and so have done many , many  others as well which were directly under my care. Attempting to generalize this practice,  which is more related to DM&#039;s reign  and not LRH&#039;s,  and attempting to evaluate the wins that others claim to had had with Scn or any other practice for that matter,   is not proper form from my perspectice ; it is even evaluative even if those wins are the result of a cult(ish) fixation in Scn.

It chooses the wrong target to &quot;attack&quot; ; the parishioners themselves.  I think that we must be careful no to fall into that trap. Wins are highly a subjective issue, and invalidating the good parts that many of us DID got from Scn , even if we got many loses as well,  is not going to do anything possitive for anybody. 

One thing is the advertized exaggerated claims (and even totally false claims) that the CofS and specially LRH put out , and another entirely different thing is the wins that parishioners advertize they had,  whether those wins are actual or not,  real or not for others. I mean,  who are we to judge others at their attempts to improve their lives,  even if misguidely so ?

Let&#039;s just focus on the real target here , DM , LRH,   and the philosophy itself , and leave parishioners alone. 

My humble opinion.

Best regards,  

Peter]]></description>
