Flourish and Prosper

One of the better LRH doctrines is that of 'flourish and prosper'. This is the idea that the best revenge upon an SP is to live well because this will upset them more than anything else.

Scientology would not be the public menace that it is if it followed this doctrine itself. This would mean that the cult world answer bad publicity by giving staff a weeks free holiday on the grounds that this would wind up everyone who wished them ill.

Instead we see bizarre sites such as this one http://www.markrathbunisasquirrel.com/. Notice that scientologists are behaving exactly as you would expect an SP to do. They wish every form of failure upon 'Rat and Rin' (the rather childish names they have for Marty Rathburn and Mike Rinder). They wish everything from mental illness to destitution upon this pair.

I then visited Martys own site http://markrathbun.wordpress.com/ and find the exact opposite. There is no personal hate here and the guys seem a great deal more fun. Right now they are on a fishing trip/ barbecue while 'international management' remain behind razor wire taking turns to beat one another.

What effect do you suppose this has upon the scientologists still in the cult? It drives them quite literally mad!
