Didn’t you use to be a Scientologist? Or at least defended them quite a bit many years ago
Yeah, that's me, and yes, I did defend the philosophy - if not the founder and the organization.
I publicly resigned from the organization six years ago, and in that time, my evaluations of the philosophy/practice itself have changed quite a bit. I no longer accept every bit of Scientology theory/practice/belief as being workable or valid.
Devout churchies would consider me to be a 'squirrel' - i.e., someone who alters Scientology practices.
