Public relations -- Don't they care
Question answered by HBeer in Scientology

Another question that's mostly for current Scientologists
however I'd like to web everyone's answers.
After viewing the Scientology cult's insane attacks against
Ursula in Clearwater -- screaming Nazi and other absolutely
insane nonsense -- the public address system in the airport
informed travelers that what they just witnessed was the
Scientology cult.
I'm curious whether Scientologists think that such exposure is
beneficial to their cult's revenues and continued existance.
Surely the cult's management wouldn't be so stupid as to
assume that such public exposures of cult followerss' insanity
helps their bank accounts.
Thanks i advance for your insights into this.

I am no longer a Scientologist, but here is my answer
anyway:
Yes, I believe this is beneficial to the church, as it tells
them about the general populations reactions towards their
activities.
One of the most basic principles in Scientology is the
application of "Ethics Conditions", which boil down to an
ongoing evaluation of successful actions versus
unsuccessful actions.
Any feedback which helps to determine whether an action
is successful or unsuccessful is, in the long run, beneficial
- as it helps them to sort out what to do in the future.
I very much doubt though that the current management
perceives the airport's announcements as positive in the
way I perceive it :-))

horrible.
