How does the cult not realize that this crap just proves how ugly and nasty and abusive the Church of Scientology is?
Zero self-awareness!
They are clueless about how public relations really works.
This!
This is the core dirty little secret of Scientologists.
They look kinda normal.
They eat food, drive cars and go to work kinda like normal people.
You can talk to them, pretty much, and they use words like other people, kinda
But, they are not "duplicating" other people's thoughts and feelings.
It's not that they are not able to do that--it's that they don't give a shit what anybody thinks.
Besides themselves.
They are obsessively building their own little virtual reality world, right inside that head that looks kinda normal.
What they are going for is not empathy or two-way communication. They are going for "WHAT'S REAL TO THEM". They are building their own reality at a mad rate.
When their own "reality" goes sufficiently out of synch with actual reality--and all hell breaks loose in their lives-- they do one of two things:
1. Fully cave in and blow Scientology.
2. Fully cave in and borrow money to handle their case some more.
Each Scientologist has a threshold factor which equates to the NUMBER OF CAVE INS divided by the SEVERITY OF CAVE INS. When that threshold is exceeded they pretty much have no other choice but to blow because by that point their church and fellow parishioners are viciously attacking them for being "disaffected" or "suppressive".
Thank God that the Scientologists that comprise the cult's leadership & management also have "zero self-awareness". Because that ensures that they continue to attack and "suppress" their own members to the point they leave. Nobody does a better job of sabotaging planetary clearing than the planet clearers themselves!
