Pioneering a new thing can bring many incredible adventures, dark hours, many searchings of the soul. If the attacks were so violent, the things said and done so bitterly done, one could begin to wonder if perhaps he might not be doing wrongs he knew nothing about. But in the end, having done one’s own best to be decent and to help, one could ask, “Why feel guilty?”
The very extremity of these attacks eventually started the public to ask, “What is this Scientology? Who are these Scientologists?”
They found in general that Scientology organizations and Scientologists run at a level of sincerity and decency considerably above the average. Tried and tempered in the continual fire of reactionary resistance, the Scientologist was forced to develop organizational technology far in excess of ordinary organizations, just to stay alive.
