Lots of dental offices follow Scientology’s wing of “Dental Practice Management” programs. If you go to a dental office that has a poster of L. Ron Hubbard’s “tone scale” on the wall, RUN! They turn your dental office into a bunch of high pressure sales people.
Amen!!!!!!!!!
This is true. Also veterinarians and chiropractors. A DC I used to work for (who I believe is a scientologist) was my only customer when I had my own business who stiffed me out of payment. Some of my customers took months to pay but he was the only one who ever just blew us off. I had to send a collection agent after him. It took years to get part of the money I was owed.
You know how they got their tax-exempt “religion” designation, right? They stalked and harassed IRS department heads, blackmailed some, had others put in jail. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!) IRS Department head: So, ok, fine: You’re a church now, guys! Please return my wife to me!
Wow, thank you for that. All this is great. The syndrome you’re describing in the first couple of paragraphs is what I think is called “controlled opposition.” (Am I right? Wrong?)
Science Freakland is one of my pet gripes for a variety of reasons, one of which is that I’ve been bilked out of money by more than one of them and I never found out that’s what they were until later. They never tell you! They play up to your fears, wishes, insecurities, whatever, and once they find a weak spot, they go for your money. Like a hooker, a Science Freak won’t stop until s/he gets it all! Conservatives are more likely to fall for it because they trust more easily - in particular, religious conservatives are preyed on by them. And of course, regardless of how conservative or religious you are, you’re always going to have something you don’t want to share with others, or talk about, or - a lot of the time - even think about. With help from their pals the IRS, they will find out whatever that thing you don’t want to talk about is and try to blackmail you into shoveling unearned dollars into their wallets and into “the church’s” bank account.
Of course, people who want to be in entertainment are always a Science Freak’s first choice of meat. I don’t like actors in general, but I don’t like seeing young people whose goals and ethics are still setting in get turned into babbling losers who will do/say anything for attention.
There’s so much Science Freak BS on g4b.ai, that’s one of the reasons I quit.
You would make martyrs out of them. I would rather they all start asking for their money back and filing lawsuits.
Andrés told El Español that although he’s out of the church he continues to keep in touch with Scientologists who, he says, are anti-vaccination, and anti-maskers (something we’ve documented ourselves). In other words, while they’re pretending that they’re concerned with the general welfare by pitching in to remove ash or give first responders bottled water and pamphlets, they’re actually contributing to the lasting effects of another public health disaster, the pandemic.
That's what the coroner said.
Do you know better?
That’s incorrect. I’ve known family members in AA, read the Blue Book, attended meetings of its spin/off Overeaters Anonymous. No affiliation with Scientology. None.
Chauvin was a terrible cop. A good cop would suppress the purp without killing him. It happens zillions of times a day without a death, or footage showing incompetence.
Chauvin brought shame to millions of good cops.
George Floyd brought shame to millions of good fentnyl addicts..
Not one person making a strong objection to Scientology on this thread has read ANYTHING actually published by them. They have read ABOUT Scientology but have not READ Scientology material, not one. What do we call that? Condemnation by hearsay which is a heartbeat away from a lynch mob. Letting others tell you what to think without accessing SOURCE MATERIAL is not only stupid, it is what Democrats do.
Ya didn’t click the link, didja?
Hail Xenu!
*shrug* La Palma is one of the volcanoes explicitly named in the OTIII materials...

I dunno...I find conservatives to be more skeptical and less prone to authority bias than leftists. Dangle a report spouting some nonsense from a doctor or Ivy-educated numbnuts in front of a leftist, and they're all-in, while most of us recoil in horror after assessing the nonsense soberly.
But people ARE prone to confirmation bias, especially if they're 'marginalized.' And armed with that knowledge, predators will go after, say, religious conservatives who eschew modernity and the MSM.
I would hope that religious conservatives would be able to sniff out some slick operative from (as Frank Zappa would say) the L. Ron Hoover and the First Church of Appliantology. But if, say, their child has addition or they're distressed and Mr. Hoover et al promise a cure, I suspect many people will back up their personal Brinks Truck.
LOL good point.
