Anderson Report Beginning: sums up Scientology perfectly
JB Lingerman
PREFATORY NOTE
There are some features of scientology which are so ludicrous
that there may be a tendency to regard scientology as silly
and its practitioners as harmless cranks. To do so would be
gravely to misunderstand the tenor of the Board's conclusions.
This Report should be read, it is submitted, with these
prefatory observations constantly in mind. Scientology is
evil; its techniques evil; its practice a serious threat to
the community, medically, morally and socially; and its
adherents sadly deluded and often mentally ill.

It's awful when you realize just how harmful this cult's been for
decades, no? It hit me like a punch in the stomach.

Buddha statutes are idoltrous, made by idoltorors for idoltry. Buddha statues
are evil, their presence evil and a serious threat to humanity, and those who
worship Buddha statues are sadly deluded and not in harmony with Allah.
Isn't it FUN how many people can play at the game of parading around their
value judgments on fundamental questions as though they are simply facts of
existence everyone is bound to acknowledge, and acknowledge in the fashion most
favorable to the value judgments of the bigot making the pronouncement?
The Church of Scientology's ludicrious smears of the entire psychiatric
industry and the Anderson Reports mean spirited smear of Scientology are mirror
images of opposite sides.
It impresses me how often the opponents of Scientology in fighting it have so
little compunction about using the same underhanded tactics Scientology uses.
Now THAT statement is an excellent summary and introduction to the Anderson
Report.

I am not morally obtuse and I do not understand how absolute evil even exists
except as an article of religious faith, let alone see the job description of a
branch of the Scientology organization embodies it.
Organizations by nature might find themselves in conflict and might find
themselves disunited, so organizations traditionally have a means of acting as
an organization, and maintenance of that capacity if assigned to the Ethics
department in Scientology.
What's the big deal? Shriners would remove a disease proponent or hospital
bombing advocate from their midst (remove counter intention) and discourage
constant yack about which is the best beer during a meeting to plan out
fundraising (remove other intentionness). Subgenii who rent a hall for a
devival would probably oppose a landlord who tries to lock the door to the hall
and exclude all subgenii (counter intention) and exclude livestock merchants
from herding their wares into the hall under the pretext of enrolling all his
stock as ordained ministers of Bob *IF* that interfered with the devival too
much (other intentions). Strictly speaking I know many Subgenii would welcome
additional livestock at devivals, as livestock are not yet AIDS infected and a
condom is not required, but other Subgenii are not completely in accord on this
I understand.
We could list an endless number of organizations that assign the function of
opposition to rivals and maintenance of focus on the groups activities to
someone, just as Ethics has that function in Scientology.

Adhearants to the Buddah don't claim murder, extortion, espionage,
and racketeering as a religious right. Scientology does. The killers
claimed that they had the religious right under the "Religious Freedom
Restoration Act" passed by Florida to kill Lisa McPherson -- even though
the killers continued to deny that they killed her.

Quite correct.
You are morally bankrupt.
Big difference.

these jackals who feed on children and young adults

Wrong. Buddhists don't worship statues.

Wrong. See above.

Oh, boy. I suggest you start with _any_ book on Buddhism.

Not really. For one, the Anderson report contains facts, the cult's
smears of the psychiatrists are lies and distortions.

If Buddhists made a habit of financially ruining their followers, and occasionally
offing one of them in a transformer vault or tied to a bed in the Fort Homicide
Hotel, you might have a point. But they don't, so you you don't.

I defy you to point out any inaccuracy in the Anderson Reports.

Yes. If someone is in my house, and my intention is to work, play, etc. and
they are there to shoot heroin, smoke crack and rob passers-by, ethics would
induce me to remove that intention from my environment. Whether that meant
helping him with a crack or heroin problem, reporting his robberies to the
police, or SOME OTHER SOLUTION, which is where it could be misinterpreted
for evil use, the policy itself does not recommend evil.
