Good to see you back and swinging (and connecting) again, Aaron.
I have a slightly different take on the M & M show to you but I’m certainly in agreement with what you say about the non-recovery of intelligence due to false beliefs and self-delusion.
The only thing I take exception to is this:
“Even Scientology’s biggest critics in Australia still sit there working out how they will go OT and working out how to find another path to eternal memory and life.”
From where I sit, the majority of us here DON’T. Nor will we ever. Period.
Just because I and others don’t run a full-frontal attack on every aspect of the toxic cult, that doesn’t mean we agree with it in any way. I personally find the whole package a vicious trap.
But it took me at least a year “out” before I could begin to see that.
For some (as you detail above), they will probably go their graves never really looking at the trap, nor its components.
So I tend to be gentle with them. As you said, if they had to look at how wrong they’ve been, it’d kill them.
And so the need for “baby-steps” when handling them.
Because, for me at least, they are still human beings and deserve some attempt at rescue. Because we were where they’re at once too, remember?
Keep up the fight, mate. I’ve missed your imput.
