That’s for sure Flunk!

I agree with you BTN. a different view fine, but we can ague and it is necessary when you looking at an evil slimey cult who takes advantage of people who are sincere or honest and overthrow, control them with their shit. Respect goes out the door for the Scientology organization where the individuals are duped and lied too. Besides, they don’t recognize any God, so what’s to argue on that. They think they are God!

This fellow Jon A. Tack does not understand Scientology and never will.

It is a fact that all religions enshrine Felonies as Sacraments and we in the Church of Scientology are no different in this respect.

Indeed, Pope Benedict had to quit his post lest his numerous crimes were exposed.

Quite honestly, this would all be so much easier for everyone involved if the Church of Scientology ruled the planet as will happen within months.

When the Church of Scientology rules the planet, there will be sanity and large banquets will be held each night for IAS Patrons in our millions of Ideal Orgs.

It will be an ideal scene:

In the middle he spotted a picture of young Taiwanese floating in the water in life preservers. COB correctly determined that these teenagers were stowaways (as are all Taiwanese on ships anywhere).

COB ordered them to be held in the engine room of The Freewinds where they are being forced to work long hours. Their Scientologist parents have wisely decided that keeping their OT Eligibility is more important than squawking about their children who are now in the Sea Org.

So yes, please send your children to the ship — particularly if you want your OT Eligibility!

Besides, CUT doesn’t believe in Habitat for Humanity stuff, they want Survivalist bunkers. (Gah, the Wikipedia article is full of cites of the usual suspect scholars saying that they’re not so bad.)

Good point, Lady Squash. And Scientology does more than “cross the line.” It was designed to manipulate, control and exploit, from the very beginning … but still, not every person who got into it is evil to the core. But that’s the whole point, isn’t it? It tricks otherwise intelligent people into doing stupid things.

Well, obviously, I think you should be allowed to speak in generalities. Others might disagree…
Seriously, the belief in PTS/SP becomes a problem because of the actions taken. Those who who simply “disconnect” are practising shunning which is unpleasant. Other actions are unacceptable and prove all the atheists right when they blame religions for making good people do evil things. (They’re being narrow-minded, the atheists, IMHO; all extreme beliefs can lead to extreme actions, not only religious extreme views…)

Ironically….the fact that we are sentient beings is what gives us the capability and propensity to argue at all.

After all…what would we all have to talk about if each and every one of us didn’t see things from a slightly different view.

Respect should always have a bi-directional flow.
And as long as there is respect, it is always OK (necessary even) to argue.

Excellent point, Jentsing.
I speaking about belief in more general terms. We all have our beliefs. So, even if I disagreed with someone or their belief system, I would be hesitant to tell to tell that person, “Everything you believe is wrong” … unless I was going for shock-value, but still, the person would have to be ready for that, or they’re just going to get offended and not want to talk to me.
