“So, in Scientology, anyone who rejects Scientology also rejects, knowingly or unknowingly, the protection and benefits of Scientology and the companionship of Scientologists. If the person never was a member of the group or if the person had been a member of it, the result is the same.
“A suppressive person, wishing to work more damage, is the first one to cry for the protection of justice.
“Scientologists deserve protection from psychotics and criminals, from suppressive persons and covert or overt acts.
“A person who publicly rejects the group is no longer a member of the group.”
– L. Ron Hubbard
