Scientology expert on 'Scientology sounds pretty hateful'

Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

Subject: Scientology sounds pretty hateful
Answered by: alerma
Asked By: FredricRice

FredricRice asked this question on 5/3/2000:

I've asked quite a few questions of the Scientology experts here at AskMe.COM. Out of the good answers I've received from desertphile and honorarykid, I've also received a _lot_ hatred from the Scientologists who are inside of the organization.

What's interesting is that asking Scientologists questions about Scientology results in such hatred, anger, and resentment. But what's more, rather than answer the questions, the Scientologists have attacked me personally, claiming I'm a pedophile and have had sex with dogs. And this is from Scientology's representitive spokespeople, no less.

Is there a policy or something that dictates these hate-filled responses that I've been getting from the Scientologists?

alerma gave this response on 5/4/2000:

The basic tenet is "attack the attacker"

Hubbard says to "Never defend always attack"

Scientologists all follow this tenet.

because they all are told to, they are

also told over and over again to:

"DUPLICATE SOURCE" Source = Hubbard.

Pretty creepy..

But the fact is that I was asking questions that, admittedly, I knew were embarrassing. Still, merely asking questions about Scientology _is_ what this forum is about. These "experts" must have applied this policy you mention because they're told that anyone who asks questions is "attacking" their leader's claims.

Amazing. Thanks. I'll have to web your answer.
