Re: Let's get this back on track
Ha, in that I personally think of any and all things scientological as pure torture, I also think those who have lots of altitude in the cult are sadly deluded. At this point in my life I don't even like words associated with the cult. When someone posts "MEST" or "ARCx" or any word or concept in the scn dictionary I automatically suspect the person. I have a friend with a glancing knowledge of Scn who to this day spouts things like "intention" or (and I detest THIS one "validation." Go fuck your validation please. BUT this is just me; I am sure there are many in this forum who happily speak fluent cultese.
So in a word, I do not play the game, Claire
I think this thread has been derailed enough.
So I would like to ask readers if any of them think that those who've spent more time in the cult, done more training/OT levels, wrote books, etc- if they deserve a special status as opposed to being open to what they say, reading what they say and considering what they say on an individual basis per utterance/video/book/interview/whatever?
What do you guys think of altitude? Do you grant it to some critics? Why or why not?
And if the answer's yes, how did you feel when the cult made you do it?
