All of them, those in power, and those who want the power, would pamper us, if we agreed to overlook their crookedness by wilfully restricting our activities.

Joe "Zinjifar" LynnLong time critic.
2006 was a very bad year for Scientology. It achieved
its highest ever level of general public recognition and is
now exposed from under its rock. Squirming in the sun
and an object of curiosity for the pop culture and media alike.
Xenu is irreversibly tied around its plesisauruslike neck and unshakable, no matter how many 'shore stories' are presented. [...]
First off, Scientology criticism is not like almost any other
form of 'public protest' or social activism. Because of the
huge amounts of defrauded cash available to the 'Church' and
its completely unscrupulous disregard of sane economies of scale,
opposition to Scientology will never be an even playing
field. Scientology has both the will and the means to spend
millions on a $2 attack. The only limiting factor is
the shreds of sanity which keep it from openly murdering any
and all of its perceived 'enemies', because of the potential
'PR Flap' involved.
On Scientology's Training Routines (TRs)
However, in all things Scientology there is a 'subtext' to the
'training'. Yes, one learns to 'control himself', which
can be a valuable and rewarding discipline, but he also
learns to let others control him. To 'follow direction'.
To 'take direction', especially to 'take direction unquestioningly'.
On Scientology's 'Word Clearing'/'Misunderstood Word'
Word
Clearing is a perfect example of the mundane and harmless
and even 'practical' seeming 'Tech'
that is really an integral part of the worst of the hypnotic/compulsive/critical-thinking-destroying
'system' that Ron Built.
