A former Scientologist recently put up a video on youtube that allegedly shows Scientology President Heber Jentsch rambling on KFI Radio about his programs (front groups) that "helps" people (get indoctrinated and brainwashed). When the person in this video is successfully rebutting against the Scientologist claims, the Scientologist then goes off on a tangent telling them that "they are on drugs," drug pushers and any other comment that relates to drug enabling. He even goes off yelling at the person like a madman. He interrupts the person who is giving the rebuttle. This scientologist makes 4th graders look like adults. This sounds like the Westboro Baptist Church. Also it is pure comedy gold that is great for everybody from age 5 to 105.
NarCONon is a scam.. don't not take part in it. Keep hold of your thousands of dollars. Scientology have recently gave off false delimmas saying to others [including Anonymous], who are critical of these programs and any of their front groups including the cult itself, that if you are against - {Insert Program} here - in this case Narconon, then therefore you are against people getting better and getting off of drugs. That tactic is basic rhetoric fallacy known as the false dilemma. [The definition is below]. This two toned thinking leaves out other options: There are better programs out there that doesnt cost that much as narconon and have better results.
The informal fallacy of false dilemma (also called false dichotomy, the either-or fallacy) involves a situation in which only two alternatives are considered, when in fact there are other options. Closely related are failing to consider a range of options and the tendency to think in extremes, called black-and-white thinking. Strictly speaking, the prefix "di" in "dilemma" means "two". When a list of more than two choices are offered, but there are other choices not mentioned, then the fallacy is called the fallacy of false choice.
