My first boyfriend who I grew up with and broke off my engagement with to join SO,he adored Triumph sportscars In college he was in The Sports Car Club of the U.S.He had a Triumph GT6 but it had been worked on so it was very fast.I was in it when one time the speed got to 101.Never Again said Miss Ann.Shaking at that speed the car and me is frightening.But it never started in the cold or pouring rain.When I was driving I had a silver Capri72 the club got their paws on.It beat out Beamers at stop lights.Boy those drivers showed HE&R!❤️❤️

Hubbard built a fantasy church out of imagination, claiming to be The Source of higher knowledge.
He captured the imagination of others and dared them to adopt his “beliefs” and his teachings and such that you allude to as accomplishment.
In the process, this “genius” of knowledge ruined and wasted lives and families, doing their best to cover the tracks and aftermath all along the way. Let this cult be remembered for its trademark unwillingness to be transparent about ANY of its activities, inside or out of the multi-layered and fortified walls. Even fellow scn-gists are forced to keep secret, to “not know” what goes on on the so-called Bridge to Total Freedom.
Accomplishment is measured by result.
The Church of Scn. is a monumental disgrace, fallen after years of deception governed by written policy, and corruption mandated by the founder. It is unfair and inaccurate to call Scientology a “mistake”, or even to give it enough creedence to label it as a failed enterprise or some lesser, wayward experiment. It is rather a type of orchestrated and protected chaos.
Let us remember that L. Ron Hubbard, the self-proclaimed originator of knowledge, died in near-total seclusion and in hiding from several global states including his own, along with his family, his former wives all refusing to acknowledge affiliation.
He died a stranger to himself, his body and decaying mind riddled with anti-psychotics. Most noteworthy of all, however, is that he, this leader, died separate from his ailing “church” and its policy refusing to tell you the truth.
So,
Meet the new boss…

Speaking of Farrakhan followers, I’m right now reading a book called’ Message To The Blackman’ by Elijah Muhammad. Reads like the ramblings of a madman but to each his own.

Marildi: We have more than enough evidence to discredit Scientology and its creator. You don’t choose to believe it. That’s on you, not on us.

marildi, I give credit where credit is due. If you have evidence of what scamology DID do, please present it so it can be verified and acknowledged.

If you are just another person who has lost their sanity due to scamology, do something other than present that evidence to be examined.

What did it do?

“If it did NOT do what it was said to do, it DIDN’T WORK!”

Oh, how you wish that was enough to discredit what it did do.

Some excellent posting, Brian.

Aharonfr – Sorry if I jumped on just one word you used. To me all of Scientology is to be conditionally accepted and tested to see if what it describes is there. I see a lot described in Scientology which I have seen for myself, but how to use it or what to make of it is still a challenge. I think far too many somehow come to read “Axioms of Scientology” as “Axioms of Life.” It doesn’t say that. Scientology is a discrete subject, but people lose sight of that and start blaming Hubbard because he didn’t solve all their problems for them.

Hubbard’s sense of humor is vastly underappreciated. In a way, “the joke’s on us” in that each of us has to decipher life for ourselves, and Scientology is just a help, or as Hubbard put it, tapes or marking in a labyrinth, showing the way out. That’s really all that’s possible. I’ve found it works wonders, and makes it possible to actually at least begin to come to terms with life on a very truthful spectrum. One may wish he could make another live, or magically change another, or wish someone could make everything right for oneself, but it’s only the individual himself who can do that.
