I agree. Terril is a nice guy. I like him, too. He's really sweet, has a huge heart and sincerely likes to help people. He was one of the first people here who was friendly to me (as well as RogerB, Panda,and a few others. Later, HH and some of the Anons and really exy exes). Terril remained friends with me ever since, even though he knows I want nothing to do with Scientology and even though I usually disagree with him.
That says a lot about Terril's character. (Others, too.) Gosh, he's a nice guy.
Terril isn't going to change his mind about scn, just like Commander Birdsong won't. They had their happy moments or wins over the years and decided to keep or apply what they like and toss out the rest. There's this sort of running tension line or disagreement where Terril and other FZers like him feel they have to keep repeating that they had wins and others keep writing back to warn others not to believe the hype and that Scn is a dangerous trap.
Some things never change.
Yeh, Scn is a dangerous trap, no doubt,and Terril will gladly promote it for the FZ, but he is truly one of the nicest people anyone could know, anyway. It's a conundrum, but people are complicated.
