I, on the other hand am an evolved being, who deals solely with the source of life, which exists in all of our hearts.

The first is a cynicism about human nature, especially as found in group dynamics and especially in elitist or closed groups. This cynicism manifests as an immediate assumption of greed as a main and common underlying motive for all behavior, especially when there is any money being charged in any way that can be seen to be unfair or exorbitant.

The second is an assumption that a victim must be somewhat complicit to be a victim. This is a common attitude in wife battering and rape scenarios — she must be stupid, she must be willing in some way, she must really mean yes when she says no, she must have done something to have such bad karma, etc. This is heavily compounded in Scientology by the way truth is described as being handled at various tone level bands. Apathy is the biggest liar, enthusiastic people don’t lie at all. People who are crying are always prone to wild exaggeration. Any response that is less than bored is treated as false testimony.

The third is the remarkable and constant onslaught of lies, exaggerations and propaganda in mainstream media that has been going on for at least a century. Its hard to know what to believe, and worse yet in this day and age of video and audio spoofing. This is especially true of elitist organizations, political organizations, Churches that have hidden atrocities, and so on. It is very difficult to believe cries of vicious behavior in your own organization even when it is right in front of you. In my case, NO SUCH BEHAVIOR EVER HAPPENED where I did my Scientology services, day in and day out for YEARS. This was not denial, this was observation. What it took to shift that was reviewing numerous reports, not just one or two and seeing the videos on Marty Rathbun’s blog showing the behavior. It also took watching Tommy Davis POINT BLANK lie on national television. Unbelievable but true. Also, the concept of low toned people lie comes into play when one visits one of the Church created websites that are vitriolic pits of sensationalism.

In fact most ex sea-org members are proud of their accomplishments whilst inside Scientology. You know an apology would be more appropriate.

The true “victims” of the cult are those who have been affected by it but did nothing to promote it.
