Many of you have attempted to communicate with scientologists, only to be met with contempt, harassment and what is called bull baiting (accusations of crimes, insults and so on). This can be discouraging, however your efforts have not been entirely in vain. Although not all seeds come to life, they can still be planted, and they cannot be unplanted, and sometimes those seeds will grow. Never forget that it only takes a single spark to ignite a great fire.
It is not the fault of the scientologist, for their inability to communicate; they have been conditioned to act this way. Their acceptance of reality has been rewritten, they believe that one man, L Ron Hubbard, had figured it all out and so any other sources of ideas or information are no longer valid to them. They are required to ignore outside information, and regard ideas competing with Hubbard to be a form of heresy, a good example of this would be psychology and psychiatry. Their acceptance of LRH's words as absolute truth, eliminates the need for addressing or being informed on issues, or requiring tangible evidence. This is why you will often be met by pre-programmed responses, straight from the courses they have taken under scientology, instead of a debate in the truest sense of the word. Scientologists begin to rely on the church for information and facts, as opposed to other sources which in their minds, couldn't possibly be right, for they are not the imperious and definitive words of their churches founder.
Even in the recruitment phase, they are already being manipulated. Potential new scientologists, are not allowed time to think things over, as they are never left alone during their introduction to scientology. What is called a "Routing Form" is used, this form ensures that the new scientologist is always with them through the early processes, including signing up for courses, payment, taking the course and writing a success story. These early courses include TR's (Training Routines) exercises and procedures which make the mind susceptible to suggestion, Hubbard was known in writing circles for being an expert hypnotist. Indoctrination has yet to begin fully, but changes in behavior ensue, these changes are intended to allow the scientologist to live more efficiently in their day-to-day life. As these behaviors are changed, early scientologists will unknowingly adjust thoughts and feelings to accommodate the new behavior. Without even knowing it they are slowly becoming the victims of mind control.
As they progress as scientologists, they achieve a series of "wins" which validates their newfound beliefs for them. This sense of euphoria is the beginning of a form of emotional blackmail, if it is their desire to continue with scientology they must control every aspect of their lives to suit its agendas, even their own private thoughts. Fear of expulsion from scientology, stops them from thinking critically.
LRH wrote:
"You are threatening somebody with oblivion for eternity by expulsion from Scientology."
-- L. Ron Hubbard, Introduction to Scientology Ethics, p.156-7
Scientologists endure L Ron Hubbard's disciplinarian policies known as Ethics, simply to remain with in good standing of the church. They allow themselves to be interrogated through "sec checks" where they use a crude lie detector known as an e-meter, and are asked about overts or crimes they have committed, and other questions such as "have you ever had unkind thoughts about L Ron Hubbard?".
Scientologist dread their form of damnation known as an "SP declare". They dread it to a point where the price they pay can be disconnection from loved ones if they are critical of scientology and are viewed as SP's. They have been stripped of a fundamental right, which we owe to ourselves, critical thinking. Critical thinking, allows us to deliberate and make decisions. It can be comforting to have everything laid out, and to be under the impression that we have all the answers, but it takes courage to ask questions, and to challenge things.
One of the costs of Human intelligence can be insecurity. It is natural for us to second-guess ourselves, or to be torn between our instincts and our thoughts. It is a trait that has developed with in us over the course of thousands of years, and it can at times be discomforting. And so we seek answers, which are definitive, which lay out our course in life. Some of us want this so badly they will allow their feet to leave the ground, and allow others to be their pilot. They unknowingly disempower themselves and empower desperate men, who starve for power and control, who cannot accept any other reality than the one they create, and who know the best way to control people is to keep them in the dark.
This is what we're fighting against. In hopes that one day, seeds will flourish, and that the same frenzied person who wants to silence you, will someday wake up and free their enslaved mind.
