Cult Front Group Freely Advertised On Aussie Radio

[Fadingtoblack]

Heard an ad on the radio today for Narconon.

For those who don't know, Narconon is a "Drug Awareness" group with known links to and backing from Scientology, though you wouldn't here THAT in the ad.


I tell you what though, it's scary hearing one of the cult's known front groups advertising no questions asked in your home town and country. It's totally different from just reading about it happening in America.

Apparently they'll also be running drug awareness programs in our schools, I think it was in the paper a while back. Thank God I don't have kids yet that could be exposed to these people.


Like I said, scary stuff.

Didn't a women in America die some years back in the Narcanon proram, or was that one of the other wierd Scientology practices? If it wasn't so scary that they will be doing programs in schools, with little, impressionable kiddies around, this would be laughable, just like Scientology as a whole. I've walked past the Scientology centre here in Adelaide and they keep trying to get you in to have a free 'personality' test. I wonder if during the test you get talk about the evil galactic warlord Xenu.

You have to be in Scientolgy for a certain amount of time before you learn about that. God knows what else the cult is about that hasn't even leaked yet. Someone told me there's a doco coming out about Scientology real soon.

I heard that the programme only cures something like 7% of patients, even though they claim it to be like 60%.

[Metallifold]

Scary stuff indeed. I'm not 100% of what it is since I've never heard of it before, but is this program made upon a scientology belief it must be some kind of treatment via No drugs, right?
If so, I am wondering why parents let them tell kids this stuff?

[superman321]

I think they claim this program to be the only 'scientifically verified' detox program or something which is complete crap. Bunch of bloody nutters. I think the funniest thing I read about scientology however was they believe we all evolved from a Giant Clam, or something like that. (not possitive they truly beleiev that, but I read it once in an article about Scientology).

An angry supporter of this group replied to me on the Megadeth forums about why I should be scared of a group that boasts a 75% success rate in getting people off drugs and recovered!!!!

75%!!!!!

My main worry was about this lot being in our schools too, lucky I don't have a family in that situation, I'd be down to the school in an instant to make sure none of those people would be around them.


Hey Supes if this personality test is free (i think the first thing is), you should go for it one day and just report back here, if you can do it with a straight face of course.
It would be interesting, but not so much considering you have to play a hell of a lot to access the growing levels of crazy in the cult

[superman321]

Alrighty, when I'm in town one time with some free time I might just go along and try it.

As for the money thing, now it seems to cost tens of thousands to move up and become 'enlightened'. No wonder most of the supporters are celebrities, only ones with the money who can afford it.

[Metallifold]

Ah, Your talking about those kind of drugs! I thought you talked about Medicine. Makes more sense now.
