Oh WOW! I never thought of that one, that last sentence is absolute genius, except there are no absolutes. You could start a whole new religion just based on the single truth, well it’s true to me anyway LOL..Carry on…

Considering that they once worked together, I just find the links between them fascinating. Ron, by all reports, was scared witless of Bill, since he actually was most of the things he pretended to be…and he was gay, too!

I don’t know what happened but you have my support on your comment. As a Christian and former Scientologist, I know how mean and thoughless people can be in their attacks on other people’s free choice to believe in what they want. Come back Midwest Mom. Ignore the naysayers and thread derailers.

I just love these reviews by you and Vance. Lots of chuckles and information.

I just finished up reading Vance’s excellent book and will post a review over at Amazon soon.

Wrote earlier to try to convince you to keep posting on Tony’s blog. I know that the web can be uninviting to Catholics. There’s a lot of misinformation that needs to be corrected. You are missed and respected in the community of Tony’s blog. Please consider coming back.

Oh, man, I would pay good money for a copy of that cassette. I hope it has Karen Black singing Thank You For Listening. How awesome would that be?

You’re welcome. Showing that while you’re aware of their feelings, you don’t fear them is a strong message to a kid. It lets them know that they are not you, and vice versa; you’re separate people.

A faith in a scam is a religion as well as a faith in the truth.

Hubbard, the director, made body thetans to the bad guys and preclears to the good guys.

To have body thetans as SUPER STARS exorcising preclears can be an idea as well.

Furthermore, not only are scientific facts irrelevant to the success of Dianetics, they don’t require any scientific evaluation to be considered facts, they just need to be true for Hubbard & perhaps the person receiving Dianetic therapy. So because Dianetic theory never fails to clear the reactive, (which again, may not exist) the possibility that it may be based on incorrect assumptions is irrelevant.
This may sound absolutely absurd to most people, however it assures that even if Hubbard’s ‘research’ is proven to be a bunch of BS, it doesn’t matter because, (once again) it doesn’t have to be proven to be fact, it just has to be true for you, which it is because Hubbard said it was true.
Hubbard could have saved himself & the reader a lot of time by just saying, “trust me, it’s works”.
