When you get down to it, is there much of a difference between these 2 organizations?

[picture of Scientology Org] [picture of Amway logo] For the past ten years this man [picture of Dave Touretzky] has perhaps been the Church of Scientology's most vocal critic.

From approx 5:00 - 5:25pm (PST) David Touretzky is a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He has studied and criticized Scientology along with other worldwide organizations that are cultish in nature; including some that masquerade as "Management Training Seminars." We'll take a long hard look at how even those who think they're less prone to gullability soon find themselves eliminating old friends, believing themselves to be on a higher plane than everyone else, and buying in to a set of beliefs that have more emotional rather than intellectual or true spiritual value.

Then, from 5:30 to 5:55: We'll also meet a lady named Tory Christman, who used to be part of Scientology. She'll tell us about the tactics used to suck her in, what they appealed to, plus what we need to watch out for. She also explains how it came to pass that she is no longer a member of this "Church."

Just added ... Steven Alan Hassan. From approx 6:00-6:25pm (PST) Steven Hassan has been involved in educating the public about mind control and destructive cults since 1976. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). He holds a Masters degree in counseling psychology from Cambridge College. Combatting Cult Mind Control: The #1 Best-selling Guide to Protection, Rescue, and Recovery from Destructive Cults (1988) and Releasing the Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves (2000). Both books has been praised by former cult members, families of former members, clergy, and psychologists; people from all walks of life interested in the problems that destructive cults pose for the world today. For endorsement of Combatting Cult Mind Control, please visit here. For a sampling of the praise Releasing the Bonds has received, please visit here.

Then starting at 6:30pm (P.S.T.) we'll meet a group of guys who bring their own sense of "church" to the streets, and, they let you go home afterwards to think about what you heard. If you don't want to come back anymore, that's O.K. More often than not, people usually do come back to hear their music. They are Alejo, Darren, Justin and Alex. The talent behind ACENTRIC. Having recently toured Russia, they'll be here to play some cuts from their live concert performed there over the summer. We'll see what they have that makes young people turn out to thier performances in high numbers. For more info on where they'll be playing next, go to thier website, www.rockacentric.com
