"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I have to point out that it's seen as well. . . a load of bollocks.

It's a story basically, and now celebrities are giving huge amounts to it? It's just wierd, and I think that should be answer enough.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

The bible said the Earth was flat

Bvllsh!t. You read that on the Internet and just assumed it to be true. That snide little dinner-party quip derives from the King James translation using the phrase "four corners of the Earth." My NIV says "four quarters." The KJV is simply a badly-worded translation. But the Bible never said that the Earth was flat, or the center of the universe. Plenty of incredulous claims are made, but not those.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

The BBC conducted an exceptionally brave documentary on Scientology, demonstrating the cult is still very much the sinister organization critics have always claimed. “For some reason I can’t imagine the Church of England behaving like this.”

I guess the question I am trying to ask is whether Scientology is hated so much because it shows the hypocrisy and ironic nature behind religion? Scientologists do not impose themselves on others, yet we have Wikipedia doing negative articles about them and youtube'd rallies against them, etc etc. I mean, sure they have some crazy stuff that they believe, but what religion doesn't?
Aside from the fact Scientology is not a religion (but if only to be tax exempt), the organization does not need to impose itself onto others to be dangerous and worthy of spite. Think about the Heaven’s Gate cult, for example; they may not imposed themselves onto other people but they were certainly of themselves. However, in the case of Scientology they DO impose themselves on other by evading taxes, separating members from their families, destroying the lives of critics, and now they want recognition from Europe so that they can spread the excellence of their destruction. A word better than religion or cult to describe Scientology is mafiaso. People commit suicide when separating from the organization—how’s that for not harming people?

I took a Sci Fi literature class in college, and we spent an entire unit learning about Ron L. Hubbard and Scientology. Hubbard was only interested in exploiting people. The whole religion of Scientology is based only on pseudo-science, mythological stories and brainwashing techniques. And like Bible Belt said, it is legally classified as a religion and earning tax-exempt status, when it shouldn't be.

I wouldn't have a problem with Scientology if it didn't repress free speech, exploit innocent people and misuse taxpayers' dollars. Normally, I'm the kind of person who is extremely respective of other peoples' religious beliefs, but that isn't the case at all with Scientology, which is more of a cult or a corporation than a religion.

It's flat-out ridiculous for you to compare Scientology to Christianity. People are allowed to leave Christianity freely, and the central beliefs of Christianity are a little bit more founded than Scientology's. There are plenty of historical accounts of Jesus, not to mention the group of people who followed Him. It's understandable that someone wouldn't believe in the acts of water-walking and turning water into wine, but the ideas of Body Thetans and the story of Xenu and his Galactic Confederacy are a lot more far-fetched than anything Christianity has ever produced. Sure, the Old Testament has many stories that are comparable, but the majority of Christian-based religions don't literally interpret the Old Testament. It's understandable for someone to have a hard time believing in miracles, but at least the story of Jesus has some sort of historical context and proof to it.

The nutty thing is, it took a group of Internet nerds to bring all of Scientology's exploitations to the public's eye.

I could go through and summarize the "Controversies" section of the Scientology Wikipedia page, but I'm going to save myself the time because I have a feeling the OP is a Scientologist himself who is only going to respond by saying things like "Naaah" "Nooo" "Christianity killed people too".

Sorry, but this thread sucks :down:

In my opinion. I think a large part of it is because big pharma is a growing part of
economy. Aproxmiately 16-20 percent.


Scientology has always been anti-drug.


To say that there is this altruistic movement to save us from the evil face of Scientology is absurd.

Christianity has caused much more hardship on mankind than Scientology ever could.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
