This seems like an excellent idea.
It focuses entirely on the "positives."
The "negatives" - necessary for a complete picture of the background and doctrine of Scientology - are ignored.
Elsewhere, in other sites, the "negatives" are the area of focus and the "positives" ignored.
And ESMB seems to be the only place where both "positive" and "negative" are examined. It's very unusual and very valuable in that regard.
I don't share Old Auditor's notion that Scientology was not a cult until Miscavige came along. I think that's extremely naive.
IMO, Scientology was a cult - a "destructive cult" - by the 1960s.
Nonetheless, this site has much potential, and I wish it well.
