The arival of Ursula in Clearwater

Question answered by barb131 in Scientology

FredricRice asked this question on 7/25/2000:

I got to watch Ursula C. arive in Clearwater, Florida, to give a presentation on the Scientology cult. (The video can be viewed at http://www.xenutv.com/trust/arrival.ram or http://www.xenutv.com/trust/dslarrival.ram by the way, and .rm versions of those are available for download.)

The behavior of the cult followers is _extremely_ insane and I'm curious what experts on Scientology has to say about whether these people were insane going in or whether it happend to them while they were inside.

And if I may, I'd like to web your answers.

Thanks!

Scientology is based on the writings of a sci-fi hack writer. He was a heavy drug abuser, and the FBI noted that he seemed mental. It is quite likely the man was a paranoid sociopath to begin with, and the speed and cocaine he took exacerbated his condition.

Scientology is designed to impose a Hubbardian mindset onto its followers. The introduction into Scientology through Dianetics is designed to work on a person's insecurities by convincing them they have problems that only the cult can fix.

It makes fairly normal people into something really strange.

I imagine that an individual with mental instability would be driven right over the edge after this type of mental processing, sort of like giving cocaine to a lunatic.

As they state on their website, Scientology makes the able more 'abble.'
