You make a good point, Ax.
Thetagal, I think that the piece you quote would be a very good one to send to anyone you know who is still in. Though some will berate you for showing them LRH that contradicts Miscavige. Anything like that, that could nudge their personal integrity, pose a question in their minds, or in any way encourage them to pull their head out of the sand and LOOK has got to be good.
I don't think you're going to get the greatest response to it here, though. Many of the people on this board have rejected Scientology 100%.
It's not about rejecting Scientology 100%.
And, yes, selected "theta" quotes from "LRH" can be presented to Scientologists to convince them that something is contrary to what LRH would have wanted. If that motivates someone to leave corporate Scientology then, of course, that's good.
One can find similar "theta" quotes throughout Hubbard's writings and lectures - seemingly enlightened statements.
Any of them could be quoted.
Usually those doing the quoting are starry-eyed Scientologists demonstrating how wise, kind, compassionate, and enlightened was their spiritual leader, LRH. Nowadays, there's even a villain, Miscavige, and he's depicted as Scientology's number one "squirrel," the "anti-LRH."
And perhaps that's as far as it can go for some. After all, Scientology's founder spent decades building a subject loaded with a beguiling mixture of truth and tricks, ensuring that most Scientologists would likely never really understand it.
What's sad about that is that, somehow, it's almost as though a chance at evolution is being missed. It becomes notable when those missing that chance gather into groups and reinforce their collective un-awareness.
Nonetheless, change, of a kind, is occurring, and that always opens the door to possibilities - hope springs eternal, as the saying goes.
