					<description><![CDATA[First, I LOVE that advice for CaPtAiN Miscavige. But let&#039;s remember, he&#039;s involved in a deadly serious activity. Our next trillions of years depend on it. Or something. 

But that&#039;s yet another example of Scientology duplicity - yes, lighten up, until you&#039;re IN. Then, if you&#039;re just a tad too &quot;light&quot; it&#039;s off to the comm ev for you, you C-S-ing joker and degrader!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The ad for Narconon jobs is telling. For starters, they are not looking for degrees, certificates, professional experience, a track record or any of the things legitimate employers would. They are content to consider candidates that &quot;are knowledgable in&quot; a variety of fields. So pull up a few youtube videos on prefessions that sound intriguing, and off to your narconon job you go.

It&#039;s even more curious that they list 12 different general professional areas where they wish to hire. Out of these, a whopping ten have absolutely nothing to do with providing services to addicts and their families. &quot;Interventions&quot; are generally considered a valid service. However, in this case this serves as a funnel to a specific &quot;treatment&quot; facility. As it stands, it is nothing but a high-pressure sales job that will only &quot;intervene&quot; between desperate customers and their bank accounts. 

The only token recovery services job that narconon is even interested in hiring for is in &quot;detoxification.&quot; And that is frightening! Detoxification requires legitimate medical skills for preparation of an appropriate regimen, its administration and its monitoring. This is the phase of recovery where lives are at stake. Which is why there are three words that no serious detox expert would ever utter: Niacin, sauna and LRH.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Narconon ad is telling. They&#039;re crowing about transforming people &quot;suddenly&quot; into &quot;happy, healthy members of society.&quot; This claim has all the sincerety and belieavability of a weight loss miracle or get-rich-quick fraud. Legitimate therapists will consider a person&#039;s sobriety stable after about 5 years of &quot;one day at a time.&quot; And that&#039;s not even the most of it: Drug addiction results in a bewildering maze of related problems: professional, family, marriage, reputational, legal and health. (It&#039;s a lot like CoS membership in that respect). Absolutely, NONE of this is resolved &quot;suddenly.&quot; And many addicts have to moderate their expectations of &quot;happy and healthy&quot;, let alone full acceptance into society, in order to function as well as they can and not return straight to their addictions.

With claims such as this one as well as recovery rates that they pull straight out of their you-know-where, is it any wonder that Narconon enjoys about as much respect among recovery professionals as scientology gets among late-night talk show hosts.]]></description>
