Public relations -- What are they thinking?

Question answered by Phobos1 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.

What were they thinking? I imagine it went something like this: "Never defend, always attack. The tech always works. The SP's will cave, and the public will see them for the SPs they are.

<-heh-> Actually that could conceivably be the most insightful answer to this query I've yet received. The individuals were singing Christmas songs when they were harassing the Lisa McPherson Trust. Chanting and singing are thought-stopping methods
