Beckham Defends Cruise Message Board and Comments

Good for Victoria, supporting her friends. I think the lesson media reporters should occassionally make for reader's benefit is that people can be inherently good and decent despite their temporary unwitting adoption of wacky ideas. My 27 years experience as a lifetime staffer in the Scientology movement has been precisely that. I can attest that the Scientology movement followers have some particularly offensive and bad ideas that I hope they rise up and eventually evolve as a group and hopefully will retire. But the people at heart in Scientology I found overwhelmingly good people. Chuck Beatty Pittsburgh, USA ex lifetime staffer Scientology movement (1975-2003)
