Has this changed? The article previously posted here about CAN's "deprogramming" activities [and the unsavory personal record of its founder] came from a Scientology magazine. Scientology was/is apparently one of CAN's favorite targets, so you can take the magazine's comments with that in mind. Nevertheless every time I have seen CAN in the media, it is so solidly promote the "Satanic/occult crime" fraud. Thus my impression of it is that it is a deliberately predatory institution dedicated to promoting bigotry and intolerance. To me, "exit counseling" sounds like a polite term for "deprogramming". 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Lady Byron Area: Base of Set To: Michael Aquino 26 Aug 94 12:06:00 Subject: Re: CAN UpdReq MA> Scientology was/is apparently one of CAN's favorite MA> targets, so you can take MA> the magazine's comments with that in mind. Curious: I would be interested in hearing your evaluation of Scientology. I was involved with it for a time long ago, but found that if any organization fitted the titled of "cult," that was it. Not only did they literally worship Elron, but there was *marked* intolerance of thinking outside of their realm of "logic." If you dared to do so, you were then ostracized and termed "out ethics." You basically had to lick someone's butt to be accepted by your peers again. Needless to say, one accusation of "out ethics" in my direction and I was out of there. (And it didn't take me long, as you might guess.) Lady Byron :)= 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
