What planet are you on?
If you believe that, then you either truly have NO OBSERVATIONAL SKILLS of any sort, or are entirely living in a fantasy land of extreme delusion.
Reform is IMPOSSIBLE within the context of ANY version of ANY Church of Scientology.
If you change anyone's mind, they will LEAVE the Church of Scientology (as so many others have).
Hubbard built in Scientology's own self-destruct mechanism. It is hard-wired into the system, through endless policies and orders. What is the self-destruct mechanism? Scientology CANNOT CHANGE!
"Altering" the tech or the data or ANYTHING at all is forbidden. It is written hard and strong into the subject materials. If you fail to see that, then again, you either truly have NO OBSERVATIONAL SKILLS of any sort, or are entirely living in a fantasy land of extreme delusion. Either way sucks.
Ethics and Qual are setup to detect and handled any ALTERATION of any of the subject or practices of Scientology. This is INSANE. Why?
Because, any intelligent survey of life easily shows that any organism or group that cannot change will eventually wither and die. In REAL LIFE, organisms and groups evolve and develop as they respond to changes in the environment. As living things ADAPT to forces in the environment, they SURVIVE. Creatures and groups do NOT survive by endlessly foisting their will against the environment. Living organism find a NICHE. They find a
balance where they maintain an equilibrium. Hubbard and Scientology NEVER even mention the words "balance", "peace" or "harmony". It is no wonder the Scientology view of all life is WAR and BATTLE.
Scientology is like Wall Street and the stock market where the ideal is "constant growth" - which is impossible. In real life, there are booms and busts. In absurd models of continual expansion (like Scientology), the pressure is always to MOLD the environment to ITS WILL. In fact, the stats never keep going up in Scientology either, and every time they crash - they blame some scapegoat "suppressive person" - that is just another example of the total idiocy of Scientology (the list of idiocies is nearly endless).
Jesus Christ on a Cross Kate - of all the truly worthwhile things to direct attention at, invest energy in, and spend time on, why this minor passing largely insignificant Earth fad called Scientology?
Nobody needs to attack Scientology for it to eventually fail. It will do so because it is hard-wired by Hubbard to
RESIST CHANGE. And, it resists change severely. That which cannot adapt (change) will not survive. Scientology philosophy is built on the ideas of constant expansion and to HANDLE THE ENVIRONMENT in alignment with some purpose or goal. The concept of
adaptation is nowhere to be found in the subject of Scientology.
Scientology cannot change. Your claims/statements/hopes/lies are absurd.
Last, "critical evaluation" is IMPOSSIBLE in Scientology. Critical evaluation is seen as "nattter", "misunderstood words", "overts" or "enemy line". There are so many aspects of Hubbard's "tech" that make any sort of "critical evaluation" entirely impossible in the context of the Church of Scientology.
This is not unlike trying to find unicorns in your backyard - you never will, though you can talk about it all you like. I only see what you say as empty words, or pretense, or distraction, or . . . . (fill in the blank). Maybe you are genuine, yet horrible naïve - that might explain these endless examples of intellectual absurdity. The intellect MUST connect to honest and accurate OBSERVATIONS, or it gets lost in excursions of vague abstract delusions (separate from honest and accurate observations of actual behaviors).
You might be "smart", but you are really not at all - because your observational skills seem to truly suck . . . . :confused2:
