My latest blog post (http://isene.me/2013/10/29/scientology-bait-switch/):
The first part of Scientology’s Bridge to Total Freedom helps the person take responsibility for his own mind and his own issues.
From the bottom of the Bridge to OT 2, the person exercises his ability to take responsibility over his own mind matters.
From OT 3 and up to OT 8, the Bridge is all about blaming others for one’s issues. The person works on shifting blame to imaginary entities that he is told is stuck to his body. Hubbard calls these entities Body Thetans (BTs), remnants from a sci-fi catastrophe 75 million years ago. And every person on Earth presumably has thousands if not millions of these spiritual flees stuck to and around his body and pestering him. They are supposedly the source of odd sensations, pain and discomfort and can make him behave irrationally. Whatever mental issue the person has, it is the fault of these BTs.
The first part of the Bridge is the Bait. The second part is the Switch.
Could it be that their responsibility is driven down to the level of a lemming?
Could this also explain why Hubbard found so many enemies to blame – from the CIA, KGB, APA, psychologists, psychiatrists, the media, the bankers, SPs, anti-scientologists, Xenu, the Marcabians and BTs – lots and lots of BTs?
I have hardly seen a group with that many perceived enemies and where the blame-game is on such a high gear. The International Executives blames the lower rank Sea Org members (the super-clergy), the Sea Org blames the outer Organization Staff and the those Staff blames each other and the public. And everybody blames the Suppressive Persons (the SPs). The shifting of responsibilities is massive.
Personal freedom and harmony is possible, but the road to tranquility is certainly not paved with blame, but rather with love, forgiveness, giving, care and fun.

- Why do OTs blindly follow the commands of the mad dictator, the pope of the Church of Scientology, David Miscavige?
- Why are there few if any OTs that make real positive impact in the world today? Or even in their own neighborhood?
- Why can’t the OTs in the church stop their religion from sinking faster than the Titanic?
