Some still believe that the OT III story is real? Are you kidding me?
It's jaw-droppingly amazing to me that rational people, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, still believe that Laffy 'discovered' the ridiculous Xenu story, and that it is dangerous to hear about before doing the earlier bridge.
I've read on this forum people who seem to believe that because they know a person or two who got sick some time after reading about it for the first time, that Hubbard was neither deranged nor lying about the effects of reading his poor 50ish sci fi story.
Come on, people! Do you really think that it isn't just a coincidence? Even if it's true that you know someone who was sick sometime after reading that drug-induced fantasy, do you think this negates the thousands of people who read it and didn't suffer anything more than sore sides from laughing?
I'm sure that there are plenty of people who got sick after reading 'Catch-22', but the thousands who read it with no ill effects aught to suggest to you that it wasn't Joseph Heller's writing that made them sick.
I suspect that these people are so invested in auditing, and want to believe that it's the answer to all of their problems so badly, that they will overlook glaringly obvious contradictions to their hopes. Like the fact that many people who have had lots of Scientology are pretty nuts.
Some of the most evil, sadistic bully types I've ever met were OT sevens. As far as making you more 'able', 'at cause' have 'case gain' or whatever buzz word you use; did it ever occur to these people that coming up with a quarter of a million dollars or so to hand over to a cult takes a pretty capable person in the first place?
And even then, I've seen first hand some pretty messed-up people who had plenty of auditing.
Come on, spit the cool-aid out! The cult is an evil scam. The evidence for this is more than overwhelming. You could decide that selling Amway is going to enlighten you, and if you really believe it, you could get just as much good out of it that you can get out of auditing.
