Evil Purposes surround some individuals. Nowhere is this more apparent than in scientology. While nobody disputes the right of adherents to believe and apply the tech, there is often discussion about which tech. Is ethics really part of the tech? What about Black PR, is that part of the tech? Still others believe the tech is dated, and that part of the reason it is so out of date is that those who really created the tech, which was not Hubbard, have long since departed the org. However, all discussions regarding the tech are reduced to insignificance when faced with individuals who are simply employing Evil Purposes.
LRH is proof that the evil that men do lives after they are gone. In his case it continues to thrive. One has only to look at the criminal organization he left behind, and those people whose lives he “improved” to truly understand the implications of evil that endures beyond the grave. Unfortunately, this NG is inhabited by a few of individuals who share this evil. These are the people who believe in LRH, who truly believe in source, and see SPs under every rock. They possess that same glee of insanity that possessed Hubbard.
It has been suggested that sometimes we fail to show compassion on this NG.
Unfortunately, that is likely true. At the same time, newcomers are welcomed enthusiastically and urged to tell their story. I agree with this practice and hope we continue to always remain open to newcomers. However, when it comes to those who would continue to defend Hubbard and push his policies – I am not talking about the tech here – I find it difficult to remain tolerant.
Why? Because we have individuals posting to this NG who have performed egregious wrongs in the name of Hubbard and protecting scientology. While I totally defend their right to post here, I also reserve the right to point out their tactics and beliefs. I have been called the most evil person on ARS, this from someone who is awaiting the return of LRH in order to get his life in order. Hubbard was a strong supporter of “Battle Tactics” in fighting his perceived opponents. Where there were no enemies, Hubbard created them. Look at the persecution of Ida Camburn. I do not believe any parent deserves what has happened to her. The recent trial in Occupied Clearwater is but another Pyrrhic victory. The continued harassment of critics in the courts, their homes and workplaces. The policies of disconnection that sever the ties of families and friends. The cult is a master at these activities. It only takes a moment to see the savagery of individuals and their lives continues. Carefully view Mike’s video. Taking the time to really view the video clearly indicates there is no remorse regarding his activities. Virginia sees and SP in every corner, and is virtually PTS to herself. Mike talks about running a benevolent RPF under his watch. Amazing!
What must be understood is that those who view Hubbard as a god, and his policies as good for society, perpetuate the hate practiced by the church.
These same individuals would have society suffer the same indignities as Hubbard originally initiated. Sten is not being a “bad boy” for taking on Virginia.
Rather, Sten is pointing her out to be exactly what she is -- an evil shrill that would rule over others with an iron heart. One need only really inspect the relationship between Virginia and Mike to see another LRH/MSH combination.
Am I being harsh? Perhaps! I may even be judged harshly for doing so.
However, I would be remiss as a critic of scientology if I failed to indicate the policies and beliefs of these individuals and their followers. When you look closely, you will find there is really little difference from the early beginnings of Hubbard and his initial group of adherents. If we neglect to take action at the beginning of these splinter groups of individuals who are the disciples of LRH – no, I do not mean the Freezone – we will one day find a new monster to be concerned about. I really do not wish to fight this demon twice.
I resent paying for the same real estate twice.
