"Successes" September 8, 2015, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It

One of the craziest things about scientology is the use of "success stories." These things are a strange mixture of self-affirmation, peer pressure and fear.

People write them to accomplish one or all of the following at the completion of a scientology service:

a. To ensure they are allowed to complete and be presented with a certificate, they write what they think they are supposed to say

b. To affirm for themselves that they have in fact gotten something for the time and money they have invested

c. To gain recognition from others for their "wins."
