Public relations -- Don't they care

Question answered by HBeer in Scientology

FredricRice asked this question on 7/25/2000:

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 :-))

Good grief, I think you may be right. And that's all the more horrible.

Thanks. I'd like to web your answer.
