Well, well, well. What is it we have here? Could it be....a DOUBT ANNOUNCEMENT?
Sure looks like it to me...there *were* enough of these hanging up on the
bulletin board at the Org that they are very recognizable after a while.
Scientology ethics, what a *wonderful* system of controlling people. I take it
Mike McKean, "Senior Scientologist," had a little chat with his EO. Now...was it
that the things he read on ARS disturbed him so greatly that he had to go to the
EO himself and discuss how he was in a *condition of Doubt*? Or did the message
come within the Org, from Mike's DSA?
It seems Mike "could not make up [his] mind as to an individual, group, org, or
project;" and he, therefore "decided on the basis of the 'greatest good for the
greatest number of dynamics' whether or not it should be attacked, harmed,
suppressed, or helped," and at last decided to "join or remain in or befriend
the one which progresses toward the greatest good for the greatest number of
dynamics," and so...."announce[d] that fact publicly *to both sides*."
I wonder what the version of this hanging up in Mike's Org looks like. I imagine
it's much more straightforwardly worded, and isn't so ranty, and doesn't try to
pretend that it isn't a doubt announcement. And I must wonder...did Mike come
here because he wanted to show us some URLs? Or did he really have another
reason? After all, we suppressives shouldn't, theoretically, be at cause over
this Big Being senior Scientologist Mike McKean--unless, of course, Mike was
having his own doubts, and maybe somewhere, in the niggling back portion of his
mind that is still wholly his own beneath all the lies and traps of Scientology,
he was beginning to realize the *truth*...and being a good Scientologist, went
to his EO to handle his condition of Doubt?
In the Doubt formula, as Hubbard wrote it, it's always about two groups dueling
for the Doubter's allegiance. If ARS is one, then the natural other is CoS. Was
Mike given the choice of ARS or the group to which he has given years of his
life and untold sums of money? He was, undoubtedly, given the old "greatest good
for the greatest number of dynamics" runaround that always leads to what Co$
wants...and he came to the preordained conclusion.
He must remain in Scientology. He must leave ARS. It's a demonstration of
Scientology's unethical thought-control "Ethics" in action.
And Mike, if you're reading this, DOUBT IS NOT A CRIME.
