Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 the Church of Scientology has long had an anti-psychiatric bias - its one of the fundamental tenants of their religion in Clearwater Florida, their spiritual headquarters, they have a scientology front called the "Citizens Commission of Human Rights" near downtown with a sign in an otherwise curtained window, "Have you been abused by a PSYCHIATRIST?" apparently their founder Mr. RL Hubbard, being by most accounts an unstable 3rd rate science fiction writer, had some bad experiences with psychiatry, which inspired him to create his own version of psycho-babble called "auditing" using two tin cans hooked up to an electrical volt meter that supposedly aims to get someone "clear," but only after the poor suckers (or "wogs" as they call them) have invested their life savings and have more or less become indentured servants to the Cof$, and then if they are lucky enough to pass through all the "OT" levels finally discover than in fact their religion is a fantastical extra-terrestrial cult please, lets not use Tom Cruise as a spokesman, or align the honor of ayurveda and alternative medicine with this spiritual "movement" Caldecott www.toddcaldecott.com > Unless you were on Mars this past month, you heard the media bashing > Cruise for suggesting that there are healthier alternatives for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
