I won't argue the point. Anyone who cares to make an honest appraisal of Scientology can do so now without spending a fortune in the process. I encourage people do their own research and form their own opinions.
I have known people who lives were ruined by Scientology. A friend of mine was never able to see his grandchild due to Scientologies policies. There is no good thing in Scientology that I have found.

My point, is that there is no such thing as total good, or total bad. Nor complete failure or complete success, either.
My own family was and remains torn apart by Scientology policies of disconnection. But that doesn't change the fact that a touch assist can help relieve a physical pain. Many people get a lot out of the theraputic techniques. I'd never do them myself again, because I've found a much simpler, elegant way to deal with my junk. Fanatic pro is little different than fanatic con. Except for the flavour of the polarization. Balance is what the future demands from us, if we're to shuck off the old ways of living embattled lives of suspicion and conflict.
At any rate, it doesn't look like the church of appliantology will be around much longer anyway.
