I want to point out something for underground folks that have family or friends still in.
This letter from Hubbard to Dean Wilbur is on the Church website. The BIC linked it.
So one is free to talk about it, it's safe. And one can use Rhetoric to ones advantage once one gets there wits around it a bit, and I don't necessarily mean using it, but educating in it and maybe a crack in the bubble will form.
I did a little survey of folks in my neighborhood and none really knew of rhetoric and ethos, pathos & logos. And I'll bet lots of folks in do not know either, especially the young crowd.
Here's what I did to good effect to get out of going on course or be bothered with. I'd get questions like why aren't you on course? And I say I'm studying some philosophy like Aristotle Rhetoric. And I say Hubbard learned it, so I decided to learn it. You know, Ron did say to always look to source writing. And also Tone 4 is expansion of viewpoint. And I'm having wins, this stuff is cool.
For that matter, any book on philosophy would be safe. One couldn't bring home a book on psychology or psychiatry, or Steve Hassan book, or NLP, etc. Those would raise eyebrows and possibly lead to a KR.
One just has to be creative.
