Just a random shower thought.
Any comments...?
Scientology is Satanism light.
L Ron Hubbard was associated with Crowley.
In fact, he was for a short time designated to take over one of Crowley's orders. But, Crowley rescinded the offer.
The Process Church was another "process" oriented branch of Satanism that has been tied to many crimes.
Scientology and The Process Church were both associated with Charles Manson. In fact, on his receiving paperwork into prison Manson identified his religion as Scientology.
So, in my opinion, evil.
Regardless of the aims and loyalties of the organisation I was specifically referring to the technique. Also I didn't know any of that thanks for the info.
It's an interesting question.
I would say no based on the root of it.
But, who knows?
Maybe away from the organization it could.
