Thanks, and yes, that’s always the case, because fluid though helpful spiritual philosophies get crystalized into rigid rites and rituals which must be obeyed – or else (name your dire consequence). Men create religions out of philosophies, and with religion the individual’s freedom of thought goes out the window.

My thoughts exactly. Where is Scientology the organization on Hubbard’s Tone Scale?
Definitely below Body Death, that’s for sure! I’d say “social tone” would be Covert Hostility (pretend help, pretend caring, lying about Fair Game, lying about Disconnection, fake promises about huge spiritual gains as a result of large donations) but the actual tone is WAY down there. In fact it amuses me to consider Scientology as an organization at “Being Other Bodies” because of the empty Ideal Morgues (refusing to be itself, denial of its actual beingness) but then its very possible that (along with Miscavige) the organization is actually in “Hiding”. Strong evidence exists for this, and not only due to the Dwarf’s ducking subpoenas.

Well said. Sadly, the victim story of Christianity, and mankind in general, often takes the spotlight away from the bigger story. The path to redemption.

I kept it as short as I thought was possible. I forgot to say that COB bravely ran away on the second line.

You forgot, paraphrased:

“Sir Miscreant, who had personally wet himself when the subpoenas started appearing.”

In a way though , Aqua, Scientology is kinda proving LRH right , as it plunges down the Tone Scale towards death … ok, maybe it’s chronic tone is even lower …

COB sounds like a Victim.

Mike, you look good! Healthy! Like you used to. Just saying 🙂

Victimization (along with outright dishonest denial) comprise the totality of their responses to any criticisms. They NEVER address the points – never. Obviously because they can’t. And so they have only outright denials which are lies, liberally pepper with : they’re so mean, they hate us, waaah, waaah, waaah”.
