Intolerance to criticism and
the immediat identification of critics with the enemy is a cultic
characteristic. See how this works out in ARS.
It is easy to see through
Google that Christine Bailey is more a devot Christian
than anything else, and thus unlikely to be a Scientologist.
But, because she makes a critical observation about the
alt.religion,scientology newsgroup (ARS), she is promply "identified"
as an agent for Scientology (OSA or member of the Office of Special
Affaires). The possibility of her making a
genuine
observation that has some
basis in truth (in fact, in this case, a lot of basis) is of course ruled
out.

I have been lurking around here for about a 18 months
and I have a question. Do you people ever do anything
constructive like inform and educate or do you just like
to see who can bitch the loudest and longest?
And here are the "critical"
reaction of some critics (accusations of being OSA, a
Scientologist, or a troll are in red)

There
are thousands of newgroups out there, millions of Web
Pages, lots of mailing lists, IRC etc etc. And here
you are reading a newsgroup you don't like for 18
months? And after that time all you can do is come out
with a silly comment?
Nope.
You are a troll most likely,
employed by
the CoS.
What crimes have you comitted?

You
would also have noticed many differing viewpoints
conglomerating here, and would not have piled them all
together with "you people" which
even
according to tech you follow,
is an indication that you are a suppressive person.
And in 2 years, if you havent noticed the scores of
"informative and constructive" posts in
abundance, that I have, in a few short weeks, then you
may as well not look, for your closed mind will not
see them. On the other hand,
if
you aren't allowed to read any,
coz they might enturbulate you, and wish to TRY to
cause the miscelaneous people who follow this group,
to fight among themselves, My GOD man!! I coulda done
a better job than your pathetic attempt.
Don't
they teach you anything effective in the cult anymore?
*cackle* Oh that's right it is based on 1 isane drugg
addicted paranoid fellow you think is a god.

This web site is
NOT created by a Scientologist. It is created by a Scientology EX-MEMBER
who is critical of Scientology. However, this ex-member is ALSO critical
of the anti-Scientology movement. This does not make him a
Scientologist, nor a defender of Scientology.
