I met many Scientologists at Narconon. All of them had criminal records. I don't believe they gave you a background check.
So... your plan is to follow a dead criminal instead of Jesus (also convicted of a felony btw) and sit dormant. Doesn't sound angelic or like freedom to me man.
I wasn't at narconon.
Does it surprise you that they make room for criminals that help them get money?
They are crapitalusts, after all.
Ron didn't get that big boat and have to live at sea for a decade because he let morals hold him back.
Good luck getting to the inner sanctum with a bad reputation, though.
I don't really follow anybody, nor make concrete plans, so I'd say the future remains fluid for me.
I'll see when I get there.
Do your morals hold you back?
You know it is written that Jesus was of no reputation. Spit on = bad reputation.
Some days.
I don't know why writing things down would increase their reliability.
Does an old lie become the truth for having been on paper?
If you believe your morals are holding you back, than of what concern are lies to you whether new or old?
If your word is no good, you are no good.
Once your intention is truly good, then your word will be good to God and forgivesness and charity will rule.
Baptism is an outward sign of this intention to follow His rules.
But mortals will be will mortals and not everyone chooses this. Without the option to choose, the choice would be meaningless.
Our fruit will be judged as well as our intention and how we interact with others especially those who are poor, tired, addicted, and lack knowledge.
Yes, we can judge a society by how it treats its most vulnerable.
I'm wondering when you will catch on that this religiousosity you revere is a false construct used by tptb to mind control you, though.
I can show you the roots of the ideas you are holding, but only you can stop being a true belieber.
I can't do that for you, only suggest it as a better alternative.
If something is not determined to be true by you, it is not true for you.
We can't know what we don't know, but we can recognize that few things are certain.
Certainly, anything that requires faith, rather than empirical evidence, is not to be trusted 100%, imo.
