Near the bottom of the page for that posting, there's a video with a picture of the Scientology grade chart that has had the border and heading colored.Don Carlo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 26, 2018 2:09 pmDid a little sunlight send Scientologists scattering for cover?

This reminds me of the time a few of us were taken off post (gonna be downstats) and sent to man a Scientology booth at a psychic fair. This was not a successful action it turns out. Other cults had booths there, too. Hare Krishna, and another back-to-nature cult had ones. The Process Church and Ekankar, two off shoots and enemies of Scientology also had booths there. I didn't know anything much about Ekankar at the time, or that it was very much based on Scientology and considered a squirrel group. (It still exists, and there are a two Ekankar locations where I am, where Scientology has a small one.
Grade chart. Ekankar also has a grade chart. They had it on display at the psychic fair. I never got close enough to it to read it and compare it with the Scientology one but it was very much laid out like the Scientology grade chart. The difference was that the Ekankar grade chart was many colored, instead of Scientology's plain old red on white. I call it the Ekankar grade chart because I don't know what it's called in Ekankar and I lack a better term for it.
Now I'm going to see if Ross and Carrie have done an investigation into Ekankar so I can find out more about it and how it compares to Scientology. I kind of doubt that they have because they never mentioned it when they did their exploration into Scientology. If they haven't looked into it. I hope they do. If you're reading this and you have Ross and Carrie's ear, please suggest they investigate Ekankar.
Postscript
Steven Hassan pointed out that when discussing a cult, cult members have defenses and barriers built in to block criticism of their own cult. But when a cult that isn't their own is discussed they have no defense and no filter for that. The information goes in and comparisons with their cult and the one they're not a part of are unavoidable. For that reason, discussing other cults, such as and including Ekankar is a good method to reach cult members to get them to see how they are being exploited to their detriment.
