Excellent question cat's paw!
Nothing worse that making assumptions.
I'd say I'm on all sides. Just some sides more than others.
What I mean is that I try to look at all sides, and at times,
taking a particular "viewpoint" is more meaningful or interesting
in a discussion.
But its not all just "devils advocate" or fun and games.
I do have personal leanings and opinions too. Its not always so
cut and dried in the Scientology world.
For the most part, I am thrilled NOT to be on lines and that my long-standing
suspicions about the church were vindicated. But I was involved off-and-on
for many years. I can also understand many of the points of view of those either totally trapped inside, or who find Scientology fills a need that
could not be filled elswhere.
I also appreciate many aspects of the Freezone, or those who found something useful that could be done quite well outside the church, or even improved upon. The church is lousy at discarding innefective techniques or
developing newer and simpler ones.
Additionally, or morover, I do understand that many just feel the whole thing is codswallup, and so much of it is, then why bother
with any of it.
And then there is the whole camaraderie thing of those who find joy in the common target of the church.
