Public relations -- Don't they care

Question answered by remiel 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.

My personal opinion is that lower levels of OSA simply do exactly what they are told, no matter how dumb (witness the Carpet Dudes), and that upper levels are so disconnected from conventional reality that a lot of the time they simply do not realise the impression they make.

Either that or they are under the impression that it makes them look committed
