You can access numerous ex-Scientist testimonies to that fact that Scientology does not work and is a dangerous scam.
To promote Scientology as valid in any regard whatsoever other than a cautionary tale ignores the preponderance of evidence freely available to anyone who cares to look for it.

Well, trainedobserver, to speak in absolutes, like "complete scam", "very start", "does not work", "valid in any regard whatsoever", is adventurous on the best of days. The truth can usually be found somewhere in the middle.
I'm not going to debate with you, but as a long time former Scientologist myself, I can say that some of the techniques have some workability. I don't in anyway defend Hubbard or the church. I just can't sit by and watch ignorant observations put forth with such absolute conviction, without SOME comment. It's now a scam, but was not always so, even if Hubbard set out to con people from the beginning.
And none of this takes away from the fact that many Scientologists are good, caring people who want to and think they are, helping others.
And yes, Anonymous has taken some of their stuffing out. Which they had coming.
