Is the 2.5% figure derived from Scientology teachings?”

Almost certainly so. Official Scientology teaching used to be that 2.5% of the human race were the Suppressive Persons who were absolutely incurable, who could only be rounded up and sequestered away from the rest of the world or “disposed of quietly and without sorrow”. (I say “used to be” because they seem to have changed the percentage, without explanation of course, to 2%.)

Of course, this particular representative of Scientology is showing idiocy by claiming that this 2.5% applies to any group. Textbook fallacy of division: “2.5% of the human race is incurably suppressive therefore 2.5% of the people showing an interest in Scientology are incurably suppressive despite the fact that we tell everyone we’re doing more to help society than any other group and Suppressives are purportedly opposed to any effective self-betterment activity and therefore no Suppressive would want to join our group.” FAIL CULT IS FAIL.

FLUNK, go back and clear your M/U.

Sound, machine. Speak Yoda-like.

2.5% is a lot of people, and a lot of broken families. And I disagree that so many people are not worth communicating with.

I’m not sure that this is what you wanted to say, Terryeo. You could use brushing up on basic punctuation. Not only that, but in one sentence you say that disconnection happens and in the next sentence you say it’s just rumours. Happy rumours, at that…..?? Take a bit more time with your posts. Read them over once or twice, maybe get someone to read them for you….

The Disconnection policy shows a pattern the COS uses to assert control over it’s followers, and control who members of the church can associate with. to break from this, and try to contact or talk with someone that is an SP or Disconnected from is to be threatened with being kicked from the church, Disconnected, declared an SP, or stuck in the RPF.
Oh, and speaking of the RPF:

I have been in telepathic communication with Galactic Overlord Xenu who is being held by magnetic rays in the interior of a mountain. He has contacted his loyal officers and told them to stop the rain, using anti-rain diffusers which also look exactly like DC-8’s. The problem is that the OT’s are particularly powerful, what with thousands of new grads every year. They are maintaining the rain and even managing a few bolts of lightning here and there expected to go on into Saturday.

In spite of the OT’s and their control knowingly and at will over matter, energy, space, time, life and thought, I will be at the cult office on Saturday at 11:00, laminated picket sign in hand, rain slicker over my body making my knowledge known, and I will continue to do so until real change occurs.

Children separated from their parents, parents physically denied access to their children, spouses ripped from spouses… when it comes to the CoS, if you don’t bow to the Church, you’re out too- if you still believe in the “tech,” you’re essentially denied their version of heaven if you chose the SP in your life rather than the Church. I can’t imagine a worse situation to be in- the choice between your tangible loved one in front of you or your own personal salvation.

Wouldn’t it be better for the Church to allow people to make up their own minds? Oh yeah, if you’re a member you have limitations on what you read and experience so you’re not fully equipped to make that decision in the first place…

So keep on posting Dawn and K.

The truth WILL set them free. Isn’t that why the fight exists in the first place?
