Re: Winning Poker beating tilt through Scientology?

scientology is just a bunch of made of crap put together in a book and fed to society,

kinda like every other religion for what its worth but eh, its not brainwashing nor is it a very good way to reduce tilt during sessions, maybe help anger in general but i think most religions can do that, so can yoga, polates(?) or brain/phsyical exercise of any kind really

Re: Winning Poker beating tilt through Scientology?

If you can find peace and happiness in anything, my motto is to pursue it. Who am I to tell you what's best for you?

However, I would suggest that there are probably better avenues for conquering tilt other than a psuedo religion.

This guy dodged a bullet while playing with fire and I'm not sure many of us can do it.
Just seeing these first exercizes can tell you how fooked up this is.
I am sure I am a rational person and I have my things together but if many men fell for mind tricks created by a guy who became rich thanks to it, I can't proclaim "I'm better than all those!".

If you wish to learn skills like that, choose a Martial Art you wish to be good at (try mine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vovinam !). Practice Yoga and/or read good books. If you wish to know more about spirituality, read the founding books of the main religions (Bible, Quran, Torah...), I did and it's very instructive. Forget about pseudo religion and focus on making yourself better.

Re: Winning Poker beating tilt through Scientology?

I took the online scientology test several times, giving vastly different answers each time. Ever time it told me I was depressed, and that I needed scientology to help fix my life.

lol cults

Please do not try scientology out, you may think you're smart enough to be immune to brainwashing but you are not. Their methods are effective, they will psychologically break you down then construct their 'support' to help you up.

Please do not consider trying Scientoology, it is brainwashing!

This.

Stay away, far away. You have already made a huge mistake by even considering something so malign. It is a pure cult that is very subversive and insidious in society.

There will always be a group of people for them to capitalize on.

I'd also be willing to say that no scientology bull**** could brainwash me.

Yea, fresh out of bootcamp I was ambushed at the airport by a chick selling dyanetics. I got laid and the book all for $50 bucks.

Re: Winning Poker beating tilt through Scientology?

When I was younger I had some drug/alcohol/legal problems and my parents sent me to "Narconon" one of the Scientology "rehabs" and it was totally and completely insane. Talk about using the leverage of having people at their most vulnerable to extract ridiculous amounts of money from them and their families. My parents didn't realize what it was and really just wanted to help me. They spent 25k on that crap. I still feel guilty as hell because it didn't really help with my problems and I ended up f***ing up again soon after getting kicked out of there for making fun of L. Ron Hubbard.

Part of the reason I eventually went to law school and became a lawyer was in hopes of eventually suing the crap out of those evil bastards.

Sorry to rant that here but I think people should know what these *******s are about.

true story too.
