[The Anabaptist Jacques]

For all the pain and suffering that there has been at the hands of the Church of Scientology, there will never be a reckoning.

Sure, the Church will disappear someday. The organization and the buildings and even the philosophy may all disappear.

But if there is any reckoning it has to be done privately within the souls of those who did the harm, and within the souls who need to heal and move on.

You can never go home again.

Justice can't change the past; it can only help provide a better future.

The Anabaptist Jacques

Both Criticizing AND Bashing $cn are valid. Both are valuable as the steps in the process of healing and freeing one's soul and mind from installed (by $cn training, auditing, advertisements, PR and culture) ways of thinking and reasoning that ex-cult member underwent. Those ways that conditioned one into accepting everything from Hubbard/$cn/Co$/$cn seniors/$cn experts and specialists, and at the same time suppressed own ways of reasoning, common sense and own perceptions and concepts about Reality.

This process is like making and pushing one's way back home (through numerous obstacles and mental barriers and barricades, like reasons why you shouldn't, mustn't, can't) from "home" that was somewhere in Neverland (which you had been convincing yourself and had been convinced was "the only your home", which was a lie, and you now came to see that).
Along the way sometimes you've got to explain yourself and others why you need to move ahead and not return back to that "beautiful home in Neverland". Thus, sometimes bashing and sometimes criticising this Neverland.
Because, there is no place like home.

You can never go home again.

The Anabaptist Jacques

Perhaps if 'home' becomes a better place, fortified with the insight to know a con before getting conned.... things will have taken a turn for the better.

Yet I agree, that for those who gave it their all for far too long... finding 'home' again...

Fuck...

This is a reckoning....

I love this freaking movie . . .

 

[Voltaire's Child]

As far as I'm concerned, if a person wants to intelligently criticize Scn, CofS, Hubbard, the Free Zone- then they should

If a person wants to mindlessly bash in insane purple prose (not a reference to Mystic's lovely purple fonts, I mean the phrase) Scn, CofS, Hubbard, the Free Zone- then they should.
