Voltaire's Child
Fool on the Hill
I don't know about all of you readers and contributors, but the more I read critical fora, the more I find my beliefs and ideas challenged. Not just, oh, ok, she still likes some Scn ideas and it's time to look at those- but also with respect to all things Scientology. Events that have occurred. Events that will occur in the future that we don't know about yet. What conclusions will we draw?
Ever see a thread where everyone has the same take on a given issue re CofS, Scn, Hubbard? Even if every single person in the thread is not in any way involved with Scn as an ideology? (much less if you have a mix of contributors posting there as you often do)
I don't even see that every critic agrees on signing the petitioin.
I don't think all of us have the same ideas on what should be done and how to do it, or the same ideas on why the cult went wrong, why Hubbard went wrong. There is a lot of commonality here, yes. But same ideas, no.
Do we all have all our personal feelings, issues, traumas, heartbreak, etc resolved? Have we all completed drawing all the conclusions we need to draw?
I know I haven't. But I am learning.
Shit, I don't even have everything resolved about grade school yet...
