Are they afraid of a good debate? I am willing to listen.
Because we don't agree with them, its a kind of "flunk" imo.
They have their tr's in, so they have to agree to gibberish. They have to
answer to alice in wonderland sentences that don't make sense. So as in any
exercise, the repetition of confusion is passed along. And we can see whats
wrong with the arguments. They are strained to hammer it in.
So they will exhaust themselves until we agree? Shows you how they cannot
carry on a real conversation. They have already learned and have been
totally convinved to stop thinking about the issue.

What would you like to talk about?
Just more about the undying hate of psychiatry. It hits home more for
myself because I am in the medical field. I know its a moot point,
but I would rather defense with stuff I dont agree with then just
blind repetition of so-called evidence followed by infomercial-esque
commentary.
They can "talk to anybody about anything," in theory anyways. In
reality, most of 'em have a hard time even making eye contact.

I keep track of the anti-psych Circlejerk posters, and other noisemarkers
and who they reply to.
http://home.primus.ca/~ronsharp/circlejerk.html
If you look at Angela Gupta, for example, you'll see that she only posts new
messages or replies to Trudy, Bruce or Nina. If you check those posters,
it's exactly the same. They only reply to messages from each other in a
tight little circle.
Maybe they should take the Comm Course eh?

Critical information regarding Scientology:

The sad fact is, they used to have people debate here. Before about the
and of 1995. Each one (at least the screen name) would last a few
months and there would be another. The one called Lee Holzinger was
mostly on broadcast, but others such as the one called Vera Wallace
would really get into the fray. Enough that you could come to
understand the mindset just with this interaction.
Tory, while still "in" caused long threads but at that time I wasn't
paying so much attention. Only after she escaped and did so well in
explaining her experiences both before and after did I pay much
attention again. But now there is no one who is obviously "in" and
doing any discussion. Perhaps a year or so before the first Magoo posts
there was a teenager who came on, who people engaged, but who withdrew
under internal pressure. But if there was more than that in those years
in terms of direct Scn interaction I missed it.

It seems to be the most stable set of posters (at least onscreen
identities) they've ever had. Makes K-filing really very easy. The
replies are another matter, but at least Roger uses different screen
names for that too.

I remember her. Wasn't she from some little town in KY? Catlettsburg, IIRC.

I saw it on web sites after the fact. Someone kept reminding her that
she had said Scn would let her say what she wanted. In ever more
desperate, plaintive tone, as she withdrew. Another case where you
could really feel the sinister nature of the control regime.

Associative memory at it's best. The only reason I remember the town, and not
her name was I was really into Barbeque (contests and all) at the time and that
was one of the few places in the country that has a street named "Barbeque
Road".
Yea, she was sure that her folks (who were public, IIRC) weren't going to do
anything about what she said, and she was going to get into the SeaOrg and
change the world. All the while, she would be free to speak her mind.
I wonder if she ever remembers what she thought of that "freedom of speech"
attitude that the CoS has.
That is pretty messed up that she got suppressed. Looking at other
"responses" on other threads, like Tory's thread on why there were no
spammers on a particular day, there was some viciousness with name
calling. I wonder if they were trained to respond with such vulgarity
or if they were just angry that people were challenging their beliefs?
There was a highly intelligent, extremely humorous young woman who had a
couple of nyms. Emma Goldman was one. She was the daughter of a high
ranking family of Scientologists, going to school in Beijing. This is
long enough ago that presumably she's graduated from that, but she had a
rebellious streak that made her think she could post here if she felt
like it. Her family put the hammer down and made it clear to her that,
if she continued in that direction, they would disconnect and leave her
stranded in China. Fi she complied, they would continue to fund her
schooling.
Alas, she capitulated, yanked all her email accounts, and disappeared. I
hope that rebellious streak she had still lives. I'd love to hear from
her again, we has some extremely entertaining exchanges on the web.
I wish her the best of everything.

Of course we all know by now that Kendra Wiseman now speaks out
freely, it's nice to see you wishes have been granted:
Alright, I should have changed the subject name, I didn't care much
about the original topic of the thread, I just wanted to point out
that Barb's wishes had been granted.
Ray.
Cool! I guess Scientology really does hate the Internet, and specifically,
messages to Sea Org kids.
Yes...I am extremely pleased!

“I think that the protections that we enjoy for freedom of worship exist
so long as we don’t step over the line. When religious worship and
belief cross over into things like fraud, victimization of others and
the disruption of the political arena, that protection is no longer
appropriate.”
