To Know, Will and Dare: Being Neutral About Scientology

To Know, Will and Dare: Being Neutral About Scientology
My long comment if it gets deleted:

I admire your being able to remain neutral while your mother's friend is still in witness protection from a criminal organization.

But I find your reasoning confusing. Knowing fully that the "church" is controlled by criminal elements, will you advice people not to join it, regardless of the religion?

As a legitimate movement, the mission statement of the anti-Scientology camp is of course not against the religion itself, but against the criminal elements that controls the "church". The Free Zone, various factions practicing Scientology outside of the "church" is an ally, often protesting along side others.

We can't stop people from expressing their opinions, protesters or not, that some believes in Scientology are crazy. The media isn't helping. But the bottom line is that, if people protest just because Scientology is a crazy religion, you will not find thousands of people in over a hundred cities in the world risking to go into witness protection.

I find it alarming that you find the CoS publications helpful. I hope you are aware of the fact that the "church" excels in silencing critics. So naturally they can get away with anything in their publications.

Wikipedia is a reasonable because they have a neutral point of view to maintain by a collective, and yet you can still remain anonymous to some extend. It's really hard to find somebody willing to reveal their identity while criticizing Scientology. Witness protection my dear.

Even better is Wikileaks. They have all the documents that the "church" don't want you to see, verified by the "church's" take down notices claiming copy right.

You totally misunderstand Xenu. We can't stop the media from making fun about Xenu. But South Park is fair as they do it to everybody, Christians and Muslims. The real point about Xenu is that the "church" have to deny that Xenu doesn't exist in the scriptures. Because believers only get to read the scriptures after paying level by level. Only believers reaching OT III level get to know the story, after spending well over a hundred thousand dollars.

While everybody knows about it, "church" officials still have to deny it in public. Scientologists who is below OT III, most of them, have to stop harassing protesters and hide when Xenu is brought up. Even if you are just mentioning Xenu as a matter of fact, you risk going into witness protection if they go after you, and leave criminal evidence.
