EJ, your observations very understandably, would be totally real for someone who has never been in. But the complete answer can be totally summed up in this maxim: “When one is under suppression from other(s), they will act in a manner that looks either nonsensical or irrational”, and most importantly “THEY THEMSELVES WILL TEND TO NOT EVEN REALIZE the person(s) are suppressive”, in so many words, until they get away from them. This is priceless words of wisdom for not only scientologists BUT FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON FROM ANY WALK OF LIFE OR ACTIVITY. Check out the million and one examples out there to see that this is true. Now couple this with the mega ginormous power and freedom of abilities that scientology gives one, and, additionally the very true maxim also, that one needs to judge person(s) by not only how much bad they do, but how much good, to make up your mind about them. And, in this case, since scientology actually DOES GIVE priceless, immeasurable good to people, THAT is all that makes such a case SO HARD to judge.

You’re pretty judgemental and invalidative, EJ. I’d like to see what YOUR stats are, for real what products you get and how your stats are and whether you help people or harm them.

Mike – that was a great explanation for hiatus57. Yes, we can skim over / not read the comments that we don’t want to, or necessarily agree with. It is healthy to be open to what others have to say because life is a journey of evolving and learning. Blogs exist for the purpose of exchanging thoughts, ideas, beliefs and information. No-one is forced to read them or communicate through them. They can freely opt out whenever they wish.

h57,

Could you explain what LOL means other than Lots of Laughs without getting into anything confidential?

I dont take offence.

I have stated a number of times that I don’t think it is healthy to cut out discourse and viewpoints. So long as the person is civil and sincere I tend to let them say what they want.

Honestly, the idea that any other perspective is just wrong and should not be allowed reeks of how the RCS seeks to keep the sheeple under control. After all, they would tell the sheeple that YOUR comments are unacceptable and must not be read.

You don’t have to read what people write. You can skip right over those comments if you wish.

But I think it is healthy to see what everyone has to say and confront the reality of it. It’s not going away because you it is censored.

The most disturbing thing is the amount of Solo NOTS cases picking up cancer.

Squirrel Tech really does you no good at all.

Beware the Freezone Techie’s who have no Certs to show you before they take up your case!!!

I know of at least three in the EU who have no Tranaing NOTs certs but deliver LOL their version of NOTS.
God help the PRe OT’s they get hold of.
