Much like 'modern' medicine. The intent of nearly all practitioners is the elimination of disease, yet the practice of medicine is one of Man's deadlier activities.
Lethal treatments, horrid side effects, and hospital born and bred superbugs are part and parcel of treatment.
Yet we still go to doctors. Why is that?
It is because medicine offers hope and some successful treatments.
So does scientology.
There are some techniques that do work well and have genuinely beneficial effects. The biggest problem with them (IMHO) is that they serve to mask some truly pernicious stuff.
And here’s to your health!
And here's to yours! May we both reap the benefits and avoid the burdens in whatever we experience!
Was Hubbard’s intent the elimination of disease?
Was his development of Scientology’s technology based on valid science? Is the Personality Test valid science? Is the E-meter? Is auditing?
