If you havn't already read the entire article perhaps you should, and then ask yourself just what Scientology actually is [in the present context],
what is its purpose, and most importantly just how much of what we are told is Scientology resembles the genuine article.
The article your have cited is from a website whose author is Andreas Grosz; Andreas is still a Scientologist and is promoting the beliefs and
conspiracy theories of the Freezone sect; the Freezoners consider themselves to be the true Scientologists and that the David Miscavage cult is "False
Scientology."
The Freezoners still revere L. Ron Hubbard; thus I would suggest that you raise this issue on the Anonymous (Project Chanology) discussion board on
forums.whyweprotest.net... There are numerous long term ex Scientologists there who will fill you in on L. Ron
Hubbard, whom they universally consider to be a psychopathic charlatan; there are ample biographical books and essays on L.Ron by ex-cultists who knew
him personally, including L.Ron's biography which was co-written by his son; you can read excerpts from this on
www.davidicke.com...
I still have a profile on the Anonymous discussion board but I do not post there as my posts which were critical of both "Anonymous" and "Scientology"
have been removed. The Anonymous movement are "not" anti-cultists and anti-religionists; on the contrary they concentrate on anti-Scientology, and
that is not a main concern of mine.
The following is part of my analysis of Scientology's method of psycho-therapy which appears in the above article.
Pseudo-Psychotherapy: Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health
Scientology atracts victims with the Freuduan psychotherapy technique of regression. This is a very powerful and effective technique which virtually
all professional psychotherapists use, and I don't in any way mean to suggest that Freud's technique was or is innefective or malevolent; on the
contrary. The professional psychotherapist essentially is a "listener" who explores the thoughts, mind, dreams, fantasies, beliefs, behaviour,
relationships and sexual behaviour (etc.) of the client. It can be very liberating to have someone whom you can trust and express yourself to in such
a way; it is the secular equivalent of the Catholic confessional, and often a "cure" for the effects of religious hypnosis and indoctrination.
In Scientology however, the purpose seems to be to create a mind controlled slave of the cult, who either pays large sums of money to the cult over
many years and who eventually becomes a recruiter of others, or who joins their elite inner core as an economic slave; it is essentially a cult of
"obedience."
Cultists are taught that sex is essentially "degenerate." This is a position which no genuine Freudian psychologist would take, since Freud took the
opposite view; that it was sexual repression which was one of the main causes of psychosis. Scientologists on the other hand are taught to repress
their sexual nature. Recruits to the elite Gestapo style inner core of Scientology (the Sea Org.) are expected to be celibate even if married.
Exorcism
Scientology claims to be both a "science" and an alternative form of therapy to the modern psychotherapy and psychiatry professions, however one needs
to consider what their methods of "therapy" are. Essentially Scientologists believe in "exorcism;" that the human soul is possessed by myriads of evil
spirits (Thetans); the purpose of therapy being the exorcism of such spirits, which in the Scientology cult often occurs through verbal and physical
abuse, slave labour and forced imprisionment. Since this is a reincarnation cult, cultists who join the elite Sea Org are expected to sign a billion
year contract; thus their slogan "We come back."
I mean if I decorate a pile of dog crap to look like a chocolate cake are you going to assume that all chocolate cake tastes like crap? How would you
know unless you'd had the real cake first? Would you then go around telling everyone not to have cake because it tastes foul? On one hand it would be
perfectly understandble if you did but then on the other your opinion on chocolate cake would be based on lies and ignorance would it not?
Since Scientology auditing is essentially based on "Freudian psychotheraphy" I would not suggest that psychotherapy has no value; on the contrary it
can be incredibly liberating, however this is not unique to Scientology.
I (and indeed, I would assume, "all" Freudian psychotherapists) would consider it to be a general truthism that that we have what Scientologists refer
to as a "reactive mind" where all our memories are stored including many traumatic memories, and by exploring these and discussing them with a
sympathetic, intelligent and psychologically literate person, that we can come to deal with many psychological issues which are unresolved and reach a
state of what Scientologists consider "clear;" I doubt if any secular psychologist would dispute the value of such a process, if it were separated
from the Scientology cult and L. Ron's "spiritual possession" beliefs.
Every time in your life when you have ever felt unloved, depressed (unhappy), rejected, bullied, taunted, persecuted or in some way "put down" or
devalued, there is a stored memory in your consiousness of that event; psychotherapy explores this and can to some degree assist a person to
understand who they are and why they think and act as they do, and assist their psychological "reconstruction" through a better understanding of of
themselves..
Psychotherapy will also try to concentrate on your past and present erotic and personal relationships and your erotic desires and fanatasies, and
attempt to release all guilt, fear and insecurities; this can be a very liberating process, but it can also be exploited, as in the case with the
Scientology cults (there are two main cults, the Church of Scientology and Freezone) which combine psychotherapy with cult mind control.

. But seriously, the parallels in tactics between the xenuphiles and the israeliphiles, well it's almost as if
they are all reading the same handbook. Or are they?
