No.
In, my experience, becoming an anti-Scientologist after Scientology can feel good for a while but then starts to become quite damaging to you.
Your war against Scientology soon becomes a war against your self.
You wall-off and deny some of the best parts of yourself. You begin to believe that you are delusional, that you make poor decisions, and that you can no longer trust yourself to live your own life.
You accept false narratives for your life and you become buried in vengeance and resentment.
This comes from making sense of the world with the anti-cult/anti-Scientology ideology.
You Can Become a Sucker in Reverse, too, Ya Know
You can get sucked into over-the-top, nightmare scenarios that never happened, but which you tell yourself, and your fellow Anti-Scientologists, over and over.
This happens to a lot of Exes who leave cults and adopt the “cult brainwashing’ scam to reframe their previous life experience in the worst possible ways.
It happened to me.
That would all have been fine if we scammed Exes were facing the ‘hard truth’, but we weren’t. There’s no such thing as cult brainwashing. It’s false. And sucking this up and painting your world with it was extremely destructive, adding incredible injury to our previous insult.
So you should watch out for anticult scammers who try to suck you in to these kinds of superstitious lies, too. They’ll use you as a pawn to sell people their lies in the AntiCult Industry. You saw them use the women in ‘Seduced’ for this.
You’ll willingly go along with them, too, with the best of intentions, thinking you’re creating ‘freedom of mind’ for people, helping to ‘release the bonds’ of cult brainwashing.
But if you’ll just step back and see the extremely cartoonish negativity and hysteria in anticult circles, review the science, and examine all the magical thinking where no one makes a decision or choice in their lives except the cult leader, you’ll see what I mean.
So don’t be a sucker, or a pawn, Ex. There is a sensible middle ground, where objective and non-distorted language is used to describe real, fragile and imperfect human beings on both sides, rather than horrific and hallucinated scary monsters everywhere.
The best way to avoid being scammed by anticult conmen, Ex, is to cool out, calm down, and have a cream soda.
