For whatever reason I don't feel faith. I liken it to 'Blind Sight' where someone doesn't consciously visually perceive objects in their environment, yet can navigate a crowded room with ease. Or as in the case of one FReeper (I wish I could remember who) who lacks the sense of smell, yet can tell when, and enjoy, food that is properly spiced.
I had a situation at a counter protest in San Fransisco, right before the most recent Iraq war, where a cute little Pali protester got in my face and said, "And do you know what they called Israel in the Bible?" obviously trolling for me to say 'Palestine'. I heard these words come out of my mouth: "Yes, they called it the land that God Himself gave His chosen people, the Jews." She blanched, turned on her heel and left.
It would be very reasonable for me to say that the spirit of the Lord moved me to say those words, or even that He spoke through my mouth. That may even be the case. But I didn't feel it.
Do you know how many people in the world are really Scientologists? I hear that the number is highly exaggerated.
Of those, how many are actually taught the 'Xenu' story?
How many of those people believe the story, and how many don't? -At some point, do the non-believers then try to leave the cult?
What do high-level members tell low-level members if they accidentally find out about Xenu 'too soon' or from outside sources? There must be some sort of damage control procedure if a low-level starts having doubts and asking questions. Any insight you can share?
Thank you!!!!!!!
Did you come to the conclusion on your own that Hubbard is/was God, or had you reached that level? Isn't that one of the big insights? One person I know thinks he travels on the astral plane, and since it's high Satanism, probably does experience some occult hapenings.
