Looks like quite the thread. Thanks for the insights from an insider. Every cult and false faith is an admixture of truths along falsehoods, from fundamental to frivolous, and while Scientology is not even close to mimicking the saving gospel of Christ, yet confession to others is a valid Scriptural principal Which of course $cientology uses to take advantage of souls who do not want the risen Lord Jesus (some of whom are ignorant), and thus swallow a perverse and poor substitute. And the negative experiences of Scientology (which used to be even worse) can be used by the author of it to turn souls off from the true proven gospel. May God peradventure grant them . “repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” (2 Timothy 2:25)
