Yes, but you could have learned them without the pain and abuses of co$. There is already enough pain in growing up without adding more crap. When I read about all you and others went through with scientology, I am surprised that you could ever trust anyone again, much less function in society.

And (drumroll), you coulda kept your beard!

It wasn't all bad. It was fun at times.

And I didn't experience half as much abuse as others. Or, because of how I was raised, I could let it roll off of me more ...

It simply sounds like you grew up and approached spiritual questions, and when you became an adult you were subjected to indoctrination that the rest of society feels illogical and dangerous. Your viewpoints are legitimate, but the foundation of those views is corrupt. Scientology can only destroy lives, they have no way to make them better. There is a way out, it's here on the net, we are all here for those who have been wronged by the cult.

You know .. remember .. this is the Pro-Scientology forum ..

And, it doesn't really matter what viewpoint you have. I have my own. So, good luck with that.

And if I was incapable of seeing the negative .. I wouldn't be an admin here would I?
