What makes ANY of you think Mike is actually reachable? He's been deflecting the same arguments for 20 years. There's never any indication of genuine rational discourse. NEVER.
-
Now, that's not very nice of you. I wouldn't wish him on anyone. Clearly he does have potentially cultic religious views.
-
Sigh... PLEASE don't feed the troll. Those are NOT questions that Mike could possibly answer in any coherent or concise manner.
-
Or any other entity, including (natural or artificial) humans.
-
Kinda like a rhetorical question... answers itself.
-
Obvious signs of cults, indeed.

As you have been with pretty much everything you've posted on GSC over the last two decades.

Genuinely expert people don't need to tell anyone they are experts.
-
Or, TROLL (singular), but yes, I agree with you on the matter.

Plenty of other news reports about Scientology have documented such smearing, including Leah Remini's documentary aired on the A&E network in installments. -
And in team sports. Baseball? It's all about the pitcher deceiving the hitter and what happens when the batter is not deceived. Football? It revolves around misdirection. Basketball? Plenty of tricks the team with the ball do to deceive the defenders. And in nature, survival depends largely on deception, both for predator and prey. However, at least theoretically, civilization depends on cooperation more than competition.

How many of the 24 pages (so far) of this thread have revolved around Mike? Has he REALLY not taken over/dominated/changed the topic of discussion on the thread?
-
Is this too blunt or rude? It IS what the games with Mike on useless threads seems to have become. Honestly, it's not Mike alone.
-
One way to prove you (Nathan, et.al) have free will is to consciously decide to no longer feed the troll and let threads like this die of neglect.
-
Bravo, Mike. Perhaps thinking you had outsmarted me by answering a question with a question, you (nevertheless) demonstrated how utterly without purpose your posts are, despite your claims to the contrary.
-
How is this anything which MIGHT motivate anyone to return to TWI and PFLAP? Or is it just an exercise in self-aggrandizement?
-
Yes.
-
-
Seriously? You admit you're a parasite here at GSC?
-
Unless a news story or opinion column were to hedge and say something to the effect that "critics call it a cult..." However, to get a more specific and current opinion on the matter, ask Raf.
-
Mainstream (such as The NewYorker) news media would be loathe to call The Way a cult. It's a matter of journalistic ethics. We who have been involved with TWI understand the cultic nature. People come here to learn about it, perhaps. But there ARE legal concerns for a corporate entity to characterize an organization as a cult prior to either the organization itself proclaiming itself as one, or having been adjudicated as such by a court of law according to a standard of law. I didn't see Oldiesman's comment but it seems not likely to be a reasonable item for comparison to a news enterprise responsible for compliance with accepted journalistic standards.
-
Hassan is also in several current videos, including one documenting the rise of #Untruth.
-
At its ROOT, Mike's problem is lack of self-awareness and lack of awareness of the impact (or lack thereof) on others. He might not be the only one.

Mike your "messaging" is antithetical to changing anyone's mind in the direction you say you want to. First thing to do, for successful messaging, is to get people to like you. Clearly, that is not something you seem to know or if you do know, you don't care about. You are wasting your time here, Mike. You've done so, off and on, for roughly 20 years. Is this really what you want your life to have meant when it's all over?
