I think that the anti-educationist stance is necessary to the cult for lots of reasons.

1.) Why spend money on college when you could be moving up the bridge/ enriching the cult?

2.) Don't let the suckers learn what _real_ standards of evidence are. There's no way they'd buy El Ron's bullshit after a real education.

3.) It just wouldn't do to have subordinates who were better educated than people like Miscavige. He'd start feeling insecure.

4.) They might start to apply standard scientific method to the cult practices -- and that would show how bereft the tech actually is.

On the other hand, they might be able to come up with a couple of sensible defenders of the cult for ARS. At the moment, the lack of any real education makes arguing with the culties about as much fun as arguing in a home for the retarded. I mean, just how does one have a real argument with somebody like Woody, who can't actually follow your arguments long enough to attempt to rebut them, so he resorts to chanting magical incantations in the hope that they will make the bad guys go away.

Poor Woody. Poor Andrew. Poor little clams. I hope that one day, the cult will let them read a _real_ book.
