True for me.
Oddly enough when I look back at my indoctrinated years I do seem to recall that there were two faces of scientology. The face we saw every day was all of the bullying, indoctrination, mind control and general cult reinforcement that we all knew as "standard policy and tech". Then there was the other face of the polite and pure religious verbage that we all knew was horseshit and propoganda. To even see the word "God" with a capital g was enough to cause a wince or an eyeroll; we knew how anit-God, Christian and Jewish hubbard was. Even so, we somehow rationalized all of it as being necessary to calm the 'wogs' while we got to the 'sp's' so we could 'clear the planet'.
Scientology was nuts.
Scientology is nuts.
Scientology will always be nuts.
Firstly, the "Creed" was and is PR; it's not policy of any kind (not even PR display "policy" such as the faux "Reform Code of 1968"), and appeared along with Hubbard's applying what he called the "religion angle" and starting a "Church."
Secondly, "raw meat" (novice) Scientologists quickly learn that the "Creed" does not apply to "SPs" or to "Anti-Scientologists" - who have "no rights of any kind."
I never met anyone in Scientology who took the "Creed" seriously. It was PR fluff used to impress the "Wogs" and give Scientology standing as a 'Church'.
