This thread is to ask a kind of two part question:
Right now how many people are still IN scientology as staff , public and SO ACTIVELY on-lines , and for public I mean going in on course or to do stuff at least once a week , and not just hiding under the radar to avoid a declare and disconnection , fair game etc.
I've got so many conflicting and old pieces of info on this it's hard to sort out.
Second does anyone know real or accurate numbers on a very rough timeline on the growth and decline of cult (scientology) membership , and if possible trends that influenced or created huge growth or decline.
In studying other cults like the KKK and Aum Shinrikyo it appears that these groups often go through periods of massive growth , and then when their CRIMES are revealed broadly through media , and horrible atrocities publicized , they go through MASSIVE shrinkage , sometimes over 90% in a few months!!!
I'm hoping to see this trend continue for scientology as they have DOZENS of ugly court cases now.
I hope these cases DON'T get gag settlements , the pr damage they can cause is worth BILLIONS in lost members , slaves , and accompanying revenue.
