As long as we are on the subject of Hubbard ordering the faithful to buy their own copy of the "confidential" KEY TO LIFE comic book, let's consider the question:
"JUST HOW GULLIBLE ARE SCIENTOLOGISTS ANYWAYS?"
There are many answers to that question. Here's one. . .
ANSWER: Gullible enough to spend tens of thousands of hours "clearing words" in their Scientology studies, to "keep Scientology working" at all costs. Gullible enough to believe that not clearing ONE (1) word can "crash" a person's entire life and deny them their "eternity". Scientologists believe with all their hearts & minds (and charge cards) that a simple word like "and" or "the" or "to" can destroy their life, if not properly, fully and standardly "cleared". They have no doubts or reservations about the "scientific" fact that a misunderstood word is the SOLE SOURCE & CAUSE OF:
Failure to learn/understand anything
Failure to be able to do anything.
Failure to complete any cycle of action.
Failure to keep one's ethics in resulting in committing overts.
Failure to commit overts resulting in criticism and natter against anyone/anything.
Failure to stop committing overts resulting in withholds.
Failure to stop overts/withholds resulting in abandonment of one's goals and "blowing".
Failure to prevent all of the above resulting in "no case gain" and the loss of one's eternity.
SUMMARY: Scientology are the true "word nazis" on this planet, lol. You can be investigated, Com-Ev'd and declared an SP for not looking up words properly or insisting others do so (see HCOPL "Ethics & Word Clearing" for full list of "crimes" and "suppressive acts" associated with not using a dictionary the way Dr. Hubbard's sacred scripture mandates). Yet, in spite of their sheer fanaticism on the subject of "misunderstood words" and their chest pounding, decades-long braggadocio about their Christ-like purity on the sacred subject of clearing words, no Scientologist in the world has ever even cleared the
4th word in Scientology.
