Scientology is a fraud, with a sign in front of the store that says 
&quot;We are here to rescue you.&quot;
The whole thing is set up to trap and enslave you for the rest of days, after your pockets have been cleared, AS YOU KNOW. What is right about the families
(equal in number to the number of Scientologists) destroyed by virtue of the policy created and enforced by the founder and his [explicative] church?
Never mind the souls he impoverished financially, which again is very nearly each and every every-day Scientologist.
Give me the list of things this lousy church has done to &quot;make things right&quot;. 
I hope you don&#039;t start with that foresaken Ethics formula, either, because that pile is a tool to keep you knocked down and trapped wherever you happen to be on that baloney &quot;Bridge to Total Freedom&quot;. I think your list is done already, but after you give it some more thought, please answer me this:
Why did Hubbard take such an interest in hypnotism? What do you think happened next, when he discovered he could control a person completely?
I&#039;ll tell you:
he then asked himself how many, how many people could he control and keep under his control. He already figured out how rich he could become, or do you still think the store-front sign was for real? Honest to god means being honest with your self, please, so perhaps there will be a future in which we don&#039;t have to listen to your denials, which would mean you have opened your eyes enough to see what is really there. You may consider me an optimist, sir.]]></description>

What if the Word, in its entirety, of the original supreme creator was:
to be happy. 

That would make Happiness the yardstick by which to measure Ethics.

-being as god&#039;s command and all, which sounds far more plausibe as a workable belief-system than anything i&#039;ve heard so far. I also enjoy the simplicity of it
 - certainly willing to discard the Scn definition, especially since &quot;getting your Ethics [installed]&quot;, as according to that belief-system, typically involves so much misery and/or suffering and self-degradation.
Now, I would like to step down and allow Nick to say something?...]]></description>

O, Ann-
You know its for you, Ann, especially when I post about the [noun, person], I have it dedicated in my mind to you, knowing the satisfaction you must feel seeing the light of truth being shed where darkness has before succeeded in compromising your personal life, as I have learned. It is such an honor, just to know that a person such as you is real and knows of my existence.
 There is a post further down that provokes me to write a word now, as the person attempted to encapsulate all of us who write here, raises the need to express my purpose for myself, if I may:

Early in his adulthood, Hubbard learned he could control people and became fascinated with the phenomenon. He could control their minds, the controlling system of the individual. He recognized the self-empowering result of such knowledge. Fascination became obsession, and immediately took to the idea of keeping it, the things he really learned, secret so as to maintain that advantage over the rest of humanity. As he did this, and worked to continue to fanatically improve the model.

    Until one day, he finally took the advanced step, the day he modified the label of his model from &quot;a technology&quot; to &quot;a religion&quot;, correctly assuming that doing so would give him more persuasive sway, not to mention a great deal of legal protection.

 My reason for being here and saying what I do is simply to expose the truth. I want to point out the absence of critical thought as an indemic quality of the structure of this belief-system, and I want to contrast, in simplest terms available to me, what Scientology offers vs. what they deliver, because doing so starkly reveals the true fallacy that is the Church of Scientology. 
  Whenever, at this late date and forever in the future, you feel threatened or cheated by this so-called religion I ask you to remember that, always, from beginning to end -ALL this thing called Scientology ever was, was a language, a thing of imagination in its entirety. It was and remains a secret. Secrets never outlive the truth. Like a dead language, this thing of imagination is ultimately destined to be forgot, and you are so alive. Love-mm]]></description>
