MAX IS REALLY A SVELT, WELL ADUSTED LATVIAN FARMER
Well,how do we know "he's" not.

A lot of people show up to Scientology 'services' and swear that it 'works'. Doesn't make it true or make them any less a cult.
Just because something is popular or has captured the attention of pop-culture (Dr. Drew, "Dr." Phil, "Dr." Laura etc), doesn't mean it "works".

Well it obviously works for the people attending, otherwise they wouldn't show up. It's not up to you, or me, to decide what works for other people, that's their choice. People have different needs and seek them out in different ways. Organizations like AA and even Scientology must offer something to the people who attend, otherwise why would they go? Mass brainwashing? Different strokes for different folks. If people can get off drugs or alcohol with religion, or whatever, good for them. Whatever works.
Botched Programming:
AA says "Rarely have we seen a person fail who have thouroughly followed our path" All they would need would be Billy May to plug this sales pitch and they could save the world...
If you look closely that is part of their sales pitch, just a few steps away from being like scientology... just a lower for of dogmatic belief... just not extorting money.

On the reverse there are few people who have stated that programs didnt work for them, but that doesnt mean that programs are ineffective. It just means that their individual experience was great.
