Public relations -- Don't they care
Question answered by bunnyann 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 in advance for your insights into this.

Unfortunately, the scinos belive this display is necessary.
After all, Source (Hubbard) believed in attack. If you
criticize scientology, you are a criminal, thus you can be
deprived of property, liberty and whatever else by any
scientologist and you will not be held accountable for your
actions -- at least not by the church.
What is worse is that they truly become so deluded as to
belive their religious freedom is being deprived. They are
not being denied freedom of religion. It is actually quite
simple. Germany has a constitution which prohibits
totaliarian groups. It views scientology as such a group.
They recognize it for what it is, a for profit cult seeking
non-profit status and recognition as a legitimate religion.
The German's recognize that; the American Congress does
not.

Thanks. What's interesting is that it didn't work for the mad
messiah when he was alive. He fled from every government he
docked his boat at ad spent much of his life on the lam from
one law enforcement agency to the next.
Hubbard seemed willing to run away and hiding to protect
himself yet at the same time he orders his cult followers to do
the insane -- which just makes it worse for them.
Talk about insane!
