When I was in Scientology, I always had the power to leave. I stayed as long as I did not because I didn't have power of choice, but rather because I still believed (in varying degrees over time) that the church was delivering the state of OT. I constantly observed OTs to try to satisfy myself that they had gotten something akin to the claims for the OT levels. For me, people stay if they believe the information given to them by the church. When you stop believing that, then it's not that hard to leave, if you are the only member of your family in Scientology.I am saying that your own power of choice - that which is inside you to decide to act in your own self-interests OR NOT, is never diminished by any "brainwashing technique." Scientology or otherwise.
This is what brainwashing is supposed to do, isn't it? Diminish or eradicate your own ability to choose or decide things in your own self-interests?
Yeah.
That never goes away.
The proof is when you finally DO decide to leave. If you were brainwashed, and brainwashing worked as advertised, you would never leave.
The power of choice is a very interesting thing to think about with regard to "cults". Much more productive than "I WAS BRAINWASHED!"
And why do you think he chose to do that every day?Mike Rinder was not brainwashed into running all fair game, covering up sex crimes & ruining people utterly as the head of the Office of Special Affairs for David Miscavige for 22yrs.
He chose to do that, every day.
Cause Alanzo said so. He's got more up his butt if you need it.And why do you think he chose to do that every day?
Because he did it every day.And why do you think he chose to do that every day?
Now you're being a troll and creating noise, and those impulsively responding to you are troll enablers.Because he did it every day.
It takes a special kind of person to do that kind of thing every day. And Mike was that special guy.
That's a no answerBecause he did it every day.
It takes a special kind of person to do that kind of thing every day. And Mike was that special guy. Very few people on earth could have done that job.
Aw. But it's fun to play with the little mousey.Now you're being a troll and creating noise, and those impulsively responding to you are troll enablers.
You've repeatedly avoided my questions and my posts because you can't counter them intelligently, and if you were to try to counter them you'd look foolish.
It's time to start ignoring Alanzo before this MB become a junk yard.
For how long?Aw. But it's fun to play with the little mousey.
For how long?
