Scientology, at ANY TIME, is INSANE. A decent person might try to input some decency, kindness and sanity into THAT equation, at any time, but that doesn't change the fact that there isn't ANY VERSION of organized Scientology that is anything but batshit crazy.
I think that might have been Veda's point.

Not exactly.
For starters, it's the Scientology Doctrine, a.k.a. the Scientology Philosophy, that is problematic, not just "policy" or the "organization."
And it's "problematic," not because it's "all bad," but because it's a mix of bad and good.
Right now, a lot of still psychologically "zapped" people have found their way into Independent Scientology and the Scientology FreeZone, and the more ambitious amongst them are working hard to "salvage" the "image" of the "Scientology Philosophy."
I'm in the awkward position of saying that Scientology isn't "all bad," and that there is some "good" in it, and, yet, also, saying that it, as a doctrine or "philosophy" - over-all - is deceptive, manipulative, and ultimately toxic.
