I don't have any problem discussing these things. I've been in the organization for a long time and have worked at a Chucrh for over 5 years on the front lines helping people. I've never been instructed to implement some "Fair Game" policy or seen an "enemies" list. The only thing I have seen is a list with pictures of guys who have rabidly attacked Scientology. This was shown to people at the reception area so they might identify someone who came in to "start trouble." People do come in to start trouble and attack us. I have witnessed and handled it several times myself. I understand your point about not having time to check everything out. Everyone is free to believe anything they choose to. My point is, discourse with someone who is actually involved seems to be more the flavor of this forum. If someone else has had negative experiences they want to share, it's an open forum. I'm not trying to debate but relate my own spiritual experience. However, I seem to be the only one here who has had any real experience w/ Scientology or else others who have, have chosen not to speak. I got it that there's a lot of negative stuff floating around out there. No organization is perfect. I'll answer questions and if I perceive that nobody's interested in what I have to say, I'll most likely keep my 2 cents to myself. I have a lot of experience in being attacked (which is not what I feel you are doing). I'm getting a lot better at not taking it personally. :-) Jeff To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
