Ahahahaha, NO. The Nazi party conducted experiments for the sake of conducting experiments, as the perfect test subjects(there was no one to oppose human experimentation). Psychiatry is not a “mind game”, but instead a therapeutic system of diagnosis and treatment, just like, say, pediatrics. Psychiatrists are doctors that specialize in the field of the human brain and mind. There’s no control anywhere, despite what LRH(who previously sought psychiatric treatment himself) would have you believe.

Bin Laden? Psychiatry? You best be joking. He uses radical Islam as his banner. Or did you miss the part where al Qaeda is made up of Muslims? He’s every bit the psychiatrist that Jim Jones was. Oh, that’s right, Jim Jones was just a cult leader.

GEE, I GUESS THAT STRIKES BOTH OF THEM OFF THE LIST.

Its sordid history of lobotomies actually started right after WWII in 1946 and lasted 20 years to be replaced by a more sophisticated “psychosurgery” which is to be less “damaging”.

Actually, lobotomies began in the late 1800’s, and were put into use around 1935– World War II didn’t break out until 1937(Asia) and 1939(Europe). Maybe Miscavige should fix the CoS history books.

Psychosurgery died out by the 60’s. It was actually just severing of nerves. Also, it’s been illegal in most places since ‘77. It was less damaging(because it doesn’t involve slicing off a chunk of the brain), but was considered inhumane nonetheless(and few psychiatrists would ever say differently).

In response LRH developed the purification rundown, a detoxification program specifically targeted to removing street drugs including LSD and PCP.

Neither of those drugs are stored in fat tissue. Saunas have no effect– Narcanon only works by the basic act of cutting off cold turkey, as well as promotion of healthier food. However, Niacin is incredibly dangerous in high amounts.

Psychotropics are in fact often perceived as the biggest problem for the Church of Scientology and why I am upset when psychotropics are promoted by Anonymous regardless of the whatever the intention may be

Very few of us promote them. As a psychologist myself, I actually strive to remove the drugs as much as possible. It is no different than using aspirin if you injure yourself. No touch assist can heal, say, third-degree burns. Need proof? Douse yourself in gasoline, and light a match.

Note also that psychotropics often have warnings which include death and suicide.

Key word: WARNINGS. Yes, drugs affect people differently. Oh, remember Niacin? Niacin kills.

Doses above 2 g per day have been associated with liver damage, particularly with slow-release formulations.[18]

Niacin at extremely high doses can have life-threatening acute toxic reactions. One patient suffered vomiting after taking eleven 500-milligram niacin tablets over 36 hours, and another was unresponsive for several minutes after taking five 500-milligram tablets over two days.[21][22] Extremely high doses of niacin can also cause niacin maculopathy, a thickening of the macula and retina which leads to blurred vision and blindness.

Not only is this a real problem but your family cannot sue because there was a warning on the label. Deaths even occur with the use of ritalin as you can learn by googling “psychiatry ritalin death”.

That’s why proper testing needs to be done. Unfortunately, everything(and I do mean EVERYTHING, be it drug or food) has a gamble of messing with the human body. The FDA constantly reprimands drug companies when they hide side-effect data. None of the SciPlants ever seem to respond to my notes about how I strive to focus on analytical psychology, virtually eliminating the drugs.

I mean, I know someone has to approve what you say, but why does the CoS never have a response against that? Why do they only bring up the archaic days of lobotomies and Nazi-era experimentation, all of which the APA(American Psychiatric Association) have condemned?

Even the Catholic Church admitted that Galileo was right(Pope John Paul II actually pardoned him and said that he was indeed correct, apologizing). Psychiatry is more than drug prescription.

They don’t believe in formal education beyond what is required by law (which I believe is 20 hours a week) because we are all millions of years old and already know everything there is to know from past life experiences. However, backing up to what’s required by law, from the stories I’ve read from ex-members, do they (the kids) even go the required amount? Doesn’t the law state that the school(ing) has to be accredited? All questions that need to be answered.

I would like to know just how much the kids in Hollywood (and other locations) are not getting in terms of neighborhood school funding and other services (such as the police and fire protection for which their modest neighbors pick up the tab), and how their bogus schools stay in business. Indeed, just how much in property taxes are they managing to ditch, burning our kids?

Catholicism’s excesses, as well as those of the other “organized” religions aside, why does this so-called church (SCC) have such a bias against education? Why so many HS dropouts? Why distrust of knowledge and critical thinking skills? Books. Real books.

It would be good to know which religions consider Scientology a religion, starting with the big guys, and then moving toward the National and the World Council of Churches.

Scientology is a training and counseling business, pure and simple, paranoid to boot.

Thanks again for your attention to this topic. They SUCK up resources from tax-payers and their victims.

These are sneaky peets not looking for real bright members, IMHO (of course, as always, exceptions).

You were almost doing well. Maybe you didn’t copy and paste this correctly. Anon doesn’t promote the pills. Most Anons believe that some meds are over-prescribed. It’s all about balance and balance isn’t something the Co$ seems to understand. “You’re with us, or you’re against us” Does that quote ring a bell? If not, that’s from Mr Cruise. That’s not balance. That’s Annakin vs. Obi Wan.

Now back on topic.

More and more light is shed on the beliefs and practices of the true CoS every day. You can throw the “it’s been tampered with” “that’s a highly edited version” whatever… Seems with the new site that you’ve added to the distancing your faith with your founder. But, all in all, I give the videos a score of 3 out of 10 for poor production and lack of content.

DM spent a lot of money on his new video interface, I wonder why they didn’t remaster any of those LRH videos? A photo montage? Anything?

I have 28 years of experience as an active Scientolgist. “Every negative “fact” I have ever seen thrown around in criticism of the Church was twisted, slanted distorted, exagerated, or fabricated.”

Wow, Steve. That’s just, frankly, pretty darn amazing. In 28 years, THERE’S NEVER BEEN EVEN ONE VALID CRITICISM OF SCIENTOLOGY? It’s nice to know your organization is just freakin’ PERFECT and that EVERYONE WHO DARES CRITICIZE IT IS LYING OR DISTORTING THE TRUTH.

Keep on thinking that way, buddy. It’s that sort of brainwashed, “everything is just so perfect!” zealotry that will be the downfall of Scientology.

If Scientologists aren’t willing to step up to the plate and take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for the abuses of their church… it is doomed.

28 years without a single valid criticism? Riiiight. Is it hard to breathe with your head so firmly buried in the dirt?

They aren’t off the site. Scientology.org is their new video channel. If you click the link in the upper right hand corner, you’re taken to the same old Scientology website we all know and love.

Paragraphs are your friend. Scientology also can’t make medical claims that it can cure anything, didn’t you get the memo?
