					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Masterson: “[At 15] I finally was old enough to read Dianetics, which is an unbelievably not-easy book to read because it was written by somebody with a much bigger vocabulary than most of us, in 1950. It just blew my mind…It would be hard for me to explain to you, having not read that book.”&lt;/i&gt; 


So Danny, you &lt;i&gt;haven&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; read the book? I&#039;m confused.


I have not read the book, but I have read one paragraph from the introduction. Like that tiny crumb of dried rotten fermented shark I tried in Iceland many years ago, the sheer awfulness of it has stuck with me. Since, based on this interview, Danny seems to have a much smaller vocabulary than most of us, I have no trouble believing that he found Dianetics to be a &quot;not-easy&quot; book to read. I hope he didn&#039;t get into any trouble for calling it that, though, since Hubbard went to weirdly florid lengths to express how not-not-easy the book is:

&lt;blockquote&gt;This volume has made no effort to use resounding or thunderous phrases, frowning
polysyllables or professorial detachment. When one is delivering answers which are simple, he
need not make the communication any more difficult than is necessary to convey the ideas.
“Basic language” has been used, much of the nomenclature is colloquial; the pedantic has not
only not been employed, it has also been ignored. This volume communicates to several strata
of life and professions; the favorite nomenclatures of none have been observed since such a
usage would impede the understanding of others. And so bear with us, psychiatrist, when
your structure is not used, for we have no need for structure here, and bear with us, doctor,
when we call a cold a cold and not a catarrhal disorder of the respiratory tract. For this is,
essentially, engineering and these engineers are liable to say anything. And “scholar,” you
would not enjoy being burdened with the summation signs and the Lorentz-Fitzgerald-Einstein
equations, so we shall not burden the less puristic reader with scientifically impossible
Hegelian grammar which insists that absolutes exist in fact.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

WTF, LRH? WTF?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Talking snakes, burning bushes, walking on water, virgin mothers, etc..etc..etc.. I dont want to hear how weird their beliefs are. All religion has unbelievable stories that for some odd reason millions upon millions of people believe, but I digress. Years ago, I had interest in scientology, still do, and what I saw was teachings on how to logically and productively live life. In short, Dont put all of your Eggs in the God basket. Don&#039;t pray for things, go get them. So, sign me up! ]]></description>

Hey thank you, Alex! I really appreciate your kind words.
Isn&#039;t it ironic that I joined Scientology to help people. I really
never got to when &quot;in&quot;.
Once I woke up and escaped out....daily I have had the privilege, joy

All of this is why one keeps drinking  Kool-aid. Is there an earlier similar incident? And there you go fighting on WWII against the red army of losing your head In the French Révolution of being burned as a witch in the middle ages untill you end up blowing a planet from a space ship. The outer world ceases to exist. You don&#039;t need to go to the movies. You are an Inmortal being discovering all these past lives and on your way to OT. Operating Thetan extererior to the body and acting in this material universe by postulates: Let there be light! The only trouble is that there has never been an OT as described by L Ron. So the truth is more likely that his science became a religion because it couldn&#039;t prove its claims and because being a religion in the US is very useful to avoid taxes and get away with slave labour. Scientology is the most expensive bridge to no where. You lose your wallet, your mental health your family and your friends in the process, but the organisation is never liable never Responsible for anything unless it is decreasing the crime rate in Colombia or sending volunteer ministers all over the world. Which is obscene. ]]></description>

Tory you are a declared sp (special person) and so are 90% of the staff Hubbard appointed hisself at Saint Hill and so are over 90% of the crew of the Apollo and the other ships. Does that sound right? The end product of Scientology if it worked should be a being able to communicate, trust worthy, ethical, brave and willing to stand against oppression and that is what you are Tory. High fives to you and thank you for speaking out and telling the truth. ]]></description>
