Why Scientology Wasn't For Me - Part 2/3

[DoctorKandosii]

This sums it up for most people. Great video.

Great vid! I met some Scientologists yesterday. And they tried with the same crap as you described in your video. They even did the thing with the cat.

[Sombomombo]

holy shit, and to think I almost fell for their bullshit belie--

Wait up a sec... Quick! Someone send this idea to Penn & Teller (Bullshit). Its gunna be great!

Very good video & analogies. What u felt was RELIEF, NOT euphoria. Although, when u add the e-meter to the equation (which u probably didn't in the beginning auditing steps) u can also experience a sort of euphoria or "good feeling" from the small dose of electricity the e-meter passes thru you, inducing the system to release endorphins into the body which has been proven to alleviate pain & make one "feel good." This, accompanied by a thought like, "I feel better" = a WIN to a $cientologist.

I read Dianetics and visited my local Scientology Church to check it out for myself. I am not gay, but the experience I had is almost identical to what this video series describes. It just felt off. The people were nice enough, but most of them seemed kind of coaxed or unaware. The rest of them just wanted to sell me something. It was disappointing, but also a very good lesson about not following anything just because it has "Church" in it's name.

Good stuff, thank you

Scientologist hate psychiatrist, because if you put one of each in a room for an hour the psychiatrist would come out and say "yup, this mofo is nuts."

[arby22207]

Any religion that rejects Psychology is almost always a cult. That's because psychiatrist can bring people back to their senses.(bad for cult business)

Psychology is the "antidote" for brainwashing and fanaticism.

[bigrobnz]

Do you really believe that? I would of thought comon sense was a antidote for brainwashing and fanaticiism

[arby22207]

The whole point of brainwashing is to control people's perspective which includes common sense.

They make sense out of something that does't make sense for normal people like us.

The only way to get people out of that state of mind is to make them realize the non-sense that they believed in through therapy.

Good thing you got out of Scientology, niacin overdose can cause cardiac arrhythmia. Not fun at all.

A good example of the memories changing over time (that I will use if I ever do one of these things(while sneaking in a camera)) would be that of a soldier ordered to be part of a firing squad to execute someone. What they do is have one gun with an empty shell, and over time, they might remember less of a reaction from the gun, less recoil, so that they may convince themselves that they had nothing to do will the killing, which is what the people setting this up try to do, to help them cope.

I like what you said " scientology is a trap...stay free" - truth!

[80Perkele]

Great information.....pretty funny analogies thank you....!

[Ravenhound7]

thanks for posting, this was interesting.

[HelioIgnus]

I love your accent, but I really love your analogies! "It was not so much euphoria, as it was relief; like taking off shoes that have bothered you for a while."

[TAHESER]

Is it an accent or computerized voice so that LRon and the boys can't figure out who it is?? Just a thought??

[alms001]

No it's really an dutch accent, heard it the first seconds.. haha really good dutchenglish :)

[jeridflush]

Period.

[MrFyde]

This is a GREAT vid. I am having a hard time writting how great I think it was. I can not tell you how impressed I am with it.

[dutchfagadam]

This series is SO good.

It's the same thing I've seen at the NCRM (dutch CCHR).

Your video's are wonderful..

Read " A short history of nearly everything" bi Bill Bryson

[magicdosh]

Yep- the "reactive mind" and "analytical mind" concepts are over simplified and plain wrong. Ironically, their view of psychiatry is deeply paranoid! The bottle and book thing- is entirely to do with inducing trance and suggestibility. You did indeed- THINK FOR YOURSELF!
