Thanks Mick. RVY made that observation famous, but he may not have been the originator. Nice to see you here.

Thanks for commenting 🙂

As a born in (second generation), I am both thrilled and fascinated to hear never-ins’ stories of how they came to learn about and get interested in scientology. It’s truly heart warming to know how many people in the real world care.

Excellent analysis, Les. This really IS the “why” for the cherch’s failure.
Most Scientologists don’t practice Scientology and can’t truly communicate face to face with the human beings who are their neighbors. Many tend to display a contrived haughty aloofness, do not feel a natural kinship with other people and so never really connect with anyone. This is not just a matter of “PR”, it is a basic of practicing Scientology which has to be there before any “tech” is applied to help someone in the first place. When someone is truly able to and is interested in communicating with another person face to face, this is something that people can sense. People also sense when this is missing.

From the ludicrous RMGroup attempt to the “MyScientologyPage” juvenile crap the internet has proven to just be a large inter connected tangle of freedom of speech that Scientology has NEVER understood because to understand and embrace free speech means abandoning scientology.
