Alex and DM, about the just cause clause:

just cause?
I mean this in the sense that you believe, have faith, postulate or
know Hubbard meant in his rule "Never fear to hurt another in a just
cause" in your "Code of Honor."
If so, what is the basis -- the data, facts, evidence, proof, that
sort of thing -- of that belief, faith, postulate or knowledge?
Perhaps we whom you Scientologists hurt in your cause, and have good
reason to be concerned for our lives in your cause, could better
understand why you hurt us and threaten us if we really understood
your basis for believing, etc. that Scientology is a just cause. I
don't recall anyone ever explaining how Scientology's cause is just,
and to me it just seems unjust rather than just just.
My thought is that if it was legitimately a just cause I'd fight for
it too, but here virtually every Scientologist on the planet hurts me,
and obviously doesn't fear to, so Scientology can't in my mind be a
just cause.
Perhaps if you all saw that Scientology is an unjust cause you'd stop
hurting others, and you'd stop not fearing to hurt others.
You could still go on doing Scientology, but you'd know it's just an
unjust cause so you'd not hurt people or want to hurt them in your
cause.
Even if a few Scientologists stopped hurting others by understanding
that their cause is unjust, just that is a just enough cause to hurt a
few egos to get the message through.
But first off tell those you're hurting in your cause why you believe,
etc. it's just.
