Well, of course I agree completely.
I was "in the Church", though quite on the fringes for many years, and the degree of self-deceit was quite astonishing to me.
One of the HUGE contradictions that became early apparent to me was this:
1. Scientology claims to make more aware and able people who can better confront what is.
2. These same people were entirely
unable and blind to the many obvious flaws, faults, lies and deceptions of Scientology itself.
I don't know for sure that they each "know deep down". I mean, I suppose if Hubbard was correct about, "the thetan always knows", then maybe. The notion that we are each some fundamental
knowingness, who each "knows" at some "deep level", to me, is possibly partly or largely a make-believe IDEA.
But, sure, I never could get how some people could continue to be so FLAMINGLY STUPID! :confused2:
Scientology - where the stupid
never takes a day off.
Shoulder-to-shoulder stupidity.
Tone 40 idiocy.
Total dedicated lunacy.
Unreasonably stupid.
Making it go right to be stupid.
The sun never sets on Scientology stupidness.
Or, as HH might say, "hey, of course it's nuts, it's Scientology".
