this may sound like a very dumb question, but as more and more people have come out with their various testimonies, and the clear (no pun intended) information and actual evidence about various Ops - Snow White, Freakout et. al. why the hell is this crap still being allowed to claim it's a religion?? much less as a legitimate organization that is allowed to go along its merry way?
Money. There hasn't been enough emphasis on cutting off their revenue streams and draining their reserves.
i hear you wolfbane BUT if they are not getting new meat the way they used to, and they have all the property they have.....that's not gonna help them. ask any company, having assets on the balance sheet that are not generating income is a drain plus there is upkeep. RPF'ers aside sooner or later, you're gonna have to start selling stuff off. is there any indication about Scientology selling property or other assets? or other indications of financial problems?
Plus they have ways to trick people into thinking they are hapless victims just trying to help everyone. So now and then you have some suckers that defend them out of ignorance. The same kind of thing happened with peoples temple.
Not to mention keeping people hostage with their confessions, holding their "salvation" in front of them, as well as keeping them quiet with threats of disconnection from their families.
Empty orgs don't account for captive raw meat being indoctrinated via WISE Businesses. That's an entire network of whales getting their employees on the bridge that has been ignored for far too long. Which is why we need some disgruntled fence sitter who works for one of these companies, and is biding their time until they can GTFO, to phish a current WISE membership list from the members-only website before they leave. Then leak that shit like there is no tomorrow once their safely out of cult's grasp.
1. Celebrities. If Cruise, Travolta, Alley, etc. belong then the cult can't be that bad, right? That kind of thinking works for naive people who have heard some of the horror stories and for those who have not. 2. Foreigners---especially those who don't understand English. Love bombing someone who doesn't understand English and promising them a great life in America is an excellent way to gather slaves for the Sea Org. 3. Disconnection and fair game. Don't want to stay in Scientology, but everyone you love and care about is still in? That's pretty big incentive to fake at still being a Scientologist. Staying in also insures that the cult won't screw with everything in your life. 4. WISE business ventures. I agree with wolfbane---it will be a wonderful day when that kettle of pigshit is opened up for the world to smell...
Shittology applies many mind-money-power control tools such: threats, isolation, drug's influence, family pressures, and lost your "logical conclusion" with a complicate logical thinks. Since the logic is not the "tool" to solve any problem, you should know that "more logic is inside a discussion or a debate, more higher is the % that who is talking (in this chase shittology) is liaring" the logic thinks, and the logic theories are excellent instruments to cover the truth.
Here are three of the recent threads that shed some light on this: Tony Ortega: Secretly taped briefing uncovers precarious state of Scientology Tony Ortega: How to make the IRS re-examine Scientology’s tax exempt status Tony Ortega: The wealthy donors keeping Scientology afloat
It is slowly and painfully dying, its losing members and the only ones it has left are extremely wealthy and apparently really stupid.
That's simply untrue. There are only a handful who are wealthy. According to cult experts such as Steve Hassan most cult members have above average intelligence, which surprisingly makes them more susceptible to indoctrination.
Rome was not built in a day, nor did it fall in one either. Just wait, it will take time for them to implode, but it is happening, it will just take time and effort.
There are already visible results. I know for fact that all scientologist buildings and churches have been permanently closed in my country, which was really amazing news, they didn't last very long, we often mock scientology as a friendship group as well, so not many people I know take it seriously, mostly because most of my friends don't like science fiction. As long as scientology continues getting it's funding and continues tax evasion, it may continue running. Throw enough money at something and it can do as it pleases. That unfortunately is how society works. Eventually people will hear more word of the cult and its insane teachings and hopefully they will steer clear or boycott or whatever they plan to do. It is slowly dying out but as long as people are contributing time, money and thought to the subject then it can continue being "alive"
Come on, folks. Connect the dots! * For Scientologists, being protested by >9000 Internet basementians was traumatic (see "curtain tech"). * People get engrams during traumatic events. * Engrams can get restimulated later, producing aftereffects. * What song did we keep playing? "Still Alive" Voila.
