"I hear a lot of whining and moaning here and there about how bad it is over  here. But I notice it is always from people who are totally incompetent and  who depend for their communication line on their imagination and with as  little recourse to fact as possible."                                         -L. Ron Hubbard, 1955

If a Member Rejects the Group

“If a group member rejects the group, he rejects everything about the group and no further question about that. Certainly there is no question in his or her mind of salvaging or helping the group. Why should the group then seek to extend its protection over him unless it wants to defy its first right: that of survival.

“So, in Scientology, anyone who rejects Scientology also rejects, knowingly or unknowingly, the protection and benefits of Scientology and the companionship of Scientologists. If the person never was a member of the group or if the person had been a member of it, the result is the same.

“A suppressive person, wishing to work more damage, is the first one to cry for the protection of justice.

“Scientologists deserve protection from psychotics and criminals, from suppressive persons and covert or overt acts.

“A person who publicly rejects the group is no longer a member of the group.”

– L. Ron Hubbard
