minus-squarefoggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up41·2 months agoI love this, but Scientology is NOT unhappy. They will keep pretending to be though. This is the exact PR they strive for. “We’re doing nothing but minding our business and people are attacking us for our religious beliefs.” That’s the spin. They earn victimhood. That results in more new members than them being persecuted. It’s funny. It’s awesome. Don’t wanna be a damper, but it’s doing more harm than good.
