My fascination with Scientology is exactly that: a fascination. I have this peculiar interest in studying cults, extremist sects, backwards fundamentalist groups, secretive organizations, ritualistic brotherhoods, the Illuminati Company, Karl Rove types, corrupt political groups, regular political groups, regularly corrupt political groups, masonry, amateur fumigation hobbyists, conspiracy theories that I know to be bullshit but also maybe is for reals, Monsanta, Scientology, the Build-a-Burger group, under-qualified volunteer lifeguards, veganism and many, many other scary subjects.
It may seem bizarre to you, but I am certainly not alone. There are plenty of others who began reading about Scientology as an oddball curiosity and started to hang around ex/critic communities to learn more about it. I've found the more you learn about it, the more that curiosity turns to outrage.
I am very aware that the suffering Scientology has caused is very real. I am also aware that I will never be able to fully understand it, because I have not experienced it on a personal level. I like to mock and "J&D", as it is called, but I am not a fool to dismiss the CoS as a joke. I do understand that it is a ruthless organization that destroys lives and tears apart families as a matter of policy. I have read the stories of the names you've listed. Fair game campaigns are horrifying and morally reprehensible, if not purely evil. Family is very important to me; I can't even imagine what it would feel like to be "disconnected" from someone I love. It breaks my heart to read of it. And I could write how I feel about Narconon or give you my thoughts on indoctrinating children into Scientology, but the language would be profane and this post is already becoming lengthy.
So, no, I am not an OSA agent or an LRH apologist or whatever you would make me out to be. I have nothing but contempt for the Church of Scientology, and I imagine it would be impossible to pass OSA Botcamp with nothing but contempt. If having no personal attachment to Scientology disqualifies me from posting here, I will leave with no hard feelings. But, if not, please stop suggesting that I'm with the OSA or even that I behave like the OSA. That is simply not true.
I hope this has answered your question.
