Colin, next time one of these things comes through your email box, try simply Googling the
name attached and
"scientology." Baughman is well-known in the US as a scientology spokesperson, having long
been a "medical
expert" with their anti-psychiatry arm, the Citizens Committee on Human Rights.
That doesn't mean that everything he has to say is wrong or inaccurate, but one needs to
follow the money to WHY
it is being said. Scientology makes huge amounts of cash in the US by providing its own
"services" for people with
mental illness (Dianetics courses, the "“National Mental Health Assistance” group and so on)
and drug addiction
(Narconon). Unfortunately for people who have had experience of these "services," they are
themselves
outrageously abusive, money-sucking enterprises that have even resulted in death of
vulnerable people. It's a
rather polemical site, but you might want to have a look at http://www.scientology-kills.org/
dead/dead.htm
Just an FYI.
