ChuckU! Who said I was studying Scientology anymore? This thread is about people being embarrassed to have been scientologists. I'm saying why I was and wasn't embarrassed, not that people should study scientology.

BTW, I do study psychology, and am back in school this fall to put that study towards a degree in social work. I already picked out the nuggets, as you put it, and switched my focus of study to metapsychology in 2001. Jung's work was bastardized, as you say, but even moreso was Freud. Freud has a bad name, these days, because many of his theories were stupid by today's lights, but he had some goodies, too.
