"BAD" is a highly relative term here. It has got to be "bad" to have these clowns show up in front of ones home.
But - short of out and out in countries racked with suicide bombers - can anyone tell me when a "church" hired 'people' ( i use that term loosely) to stalk and harass former members or media people who wrote/spoke out about church abuses ?
The Catholic Church has had years of very public protest and litigation against pedophile priests - did they hire goon squads to intimidate those bringing chatges?
I can see where cult members under the influence of the cult mindlessly ignore the abuses the cult has a history of against former members ( badly shortsighted!).
What I can not see is how the public at large can continue to ignore the abuses of the cult that are being brought to light. The Marty-lite cheap little show is NOT going to cover up the abuses that continue even today. Who in SP hall got a physical beating today? Who at Int base got slapped around today?
And how many will it be tomorrow?
No, you fail to understand.

Remember, "never fear to harm another in a just cause"!
You think I fail to understand after I have posted ( repeatedly) that OSA operated by and teaches their operatives " There is no such thing as an overt against an SP "
There is a long list of people OSA has behaved BAD towards that has been posted many times. Well, the ops that got discovered instead of ....... buried.
What these clown squirell busters are doing to Marty? How can anybody equate that with what Marty DIRECTED when he ran those ops?
BAD is a relative term and what Marty is getting from the SBs in pure patty cake compared to what Marty dished out to others.
Those who want ( or really need ) to believe the paddle boat in the canal or a golf cart with a mini cam or even idiots interviewing each other in the middle of a public road are todays version of as bad as it can get with " Fair Game " ... so be it.
What I kinda think is that non CofS Scn'ists who consider themselves to be "tech purists' (my wording, not theirs) is that they may not consider that they are deviating from policy (and even tech to an extent) but that they are. Consider the fact that the FZ isn't nearly as picky about illegal pcs as is the cult. I've yet to see anyone in the FZ forced to petition- who would they petition? Yes, auditors in the FZ have the right/ability to reject any pc they want- but (supposedly) so do CofS auditors. And I've seen the former exercise this right, but I don't see petitions flying around.
That's just one example.
The pricing- that's another. They don't charge what Hubbard says.
They don't do the free loader debts, their C/Sing appears to me to be more streamlined...
Hey, these are good things but they aren't what Hubbard wrote.
While it's true that there's a lot of shit in Miscavigology, it's also true that a large number of problems with CofS are inherent in Hubbard's own written and taped words. IOW, "Source".
FZers cull that even when they say they don't. That's nice, that's constructive but it also means they are heretics, squirrels, whatever you call it. Therefore they aren't tech purists even when they try really hard to go by the book, so to speak.

And, maybe I am being too harsh.
"Splurge on it!" is what I say!

Life is rough when over 70 year old men wearing funny T shirts go roaring by in their rented paddle boat GLARING at people !!
Can't answer for Veda.. But I bloody well read about it in Hubturds confidential Advices, PL's and Guardian Orders.
I recall one set of 'instructions' about taking photographs.. Only thing missing was the Humphry Bogart TR, in which you trained to look like Humphey while on a stake out taking photographs... This resulted in Guardian Office flunkies looking like dorks when they did it!

Marty has GOT to be really really hunkered down these days!
Mark isn't that young either, imagine how VIRAL the youtube clip would be if he physically wrestled with Ed Bryan.
Sceintology has already teamed up with The Nation of Islam, now all they need to do is team up with The Westboro Baptist Church and the Three Ring Circus will be complete.
You're so right. Scientology is the most fundamental of Fundamentalisms - they'd understand each other pefectly. They might not get on well, but they'd definitely understand each other.
They don't even get on well in their own group. There are more declared SPs than there are active members by far. And more X SO than there are in the SO.
Continues to be funny stuff as they unravel at an ever increasing pace.
Well Toady, I guess that El Ron's "Breakthrough Discovery" that 2.5% of the population is SP is either invalid (which invalidates a huge section of the "Tech") or Scn is a statistically highly improbable anomaly in that well, well over 2.5% of the folks that were Staff or trained, experienced auditors have turned out to be SP's.
It’d be real interesting to have an accurate figure for the number of folks that have been declared over the last 50 years or so and stratified percentages in categories such as, CL IV and above, CL VI and above, OEC, FEBC, etc.
Face
Face, I suspect that first the whole house of cards will have to fall and then some " interested party" go sift through the files.
These dang unpublished declares make it more than minorly difficult to keep up with the declares.
But, more and more I'm finding people "in" are just paying lip service to the disconnect BS. They tell the MAA they diconnect but then stay connected.
The membership is diluting the disconnects by not playing that game.
Most everybody has figured out how easy it is to " F/N " when needed- LOL !
Disconnect is becoming a joke.
