Scientology is dangerous only in that it offends Pychiatrists who peddle chemical imbalances everywhere they go.

You really need to do more research before making such statements. This is how Scientologists deal with mental health issues.

On December 5, 1995, Lisa McPherson was dead on arrival at a hospital 45 minutes north of Clearwater Florida. According to the coroner's report, Lisa was underweight, severely dehydrated, and had bruises and bug bites.

Lisa's last address was listed by the police as 210 S. Ft. Harrison in Clearwater Florida, which is the Fort Harrison Hotel, a Scientology property. Lisa had been a Scientologist from the age of 18 to her death at age 36.

Lisa was put on the Introspection Rundown that Scientology uses to handle those who have had a psychotic break.

On November 18, 1995, Lisa was involved in a minor car accident. She was apparently not hurt, but she got out of her car and took all her clothes off and seemed mentally unstable. She was taken to a hospital where she was physically evaluated as being unharmed, but the hospital wanted her to be psychologically cared for. However, some Scientologists arrived and stated that Lisa did not believe in psychiatry, and she checked out after a short evaluation and left with the Scientologists. She went with them to the Ft. Harrison Hotel for "rest and relaxation" according to the church, but church logs from Lisa's stay there from November 18 to her death December 5 show differently. Some logs are missing, and a high ranking ex-Scientologist has written an affidavit in which he claims that the church has in the past destroyed documents that might get the church in trouble.

One death at one Church of Scientology is hardly worthy of indictment, what is worthy are thousands of kids prescribed drugs for a mythical condition called ADHD. I think it should be called BPD (Bad Parenting Disease). Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't support the Church of Scientology but I can't help agreeing with their stance on psychiatry, I wish that mainstream churches would step up to the plate on the issue. It can be helpful in extreme cases but so much of psychiatry has become no better than snakeoil salesmen with degrees and white coats. The dangerous part is how quickly people submit to being diagnosed by questionair where all possible answers led to some degree of disease. We are talking about the same group of people who created the nonexisted condition called Homophobia yet we trust them with our minds and the minds of our children? I have seen the treatment of some of the people in mental wards where even mild cases of disorder are treated with medication and every complaint or resistance to medication becomes further indication of continued disease. Someday we will see the fruit of our blind faith in the witch doctors of the mind.
