You bring up a good point---that Scientologists are quite often oblivious about the darker practices of Scientology; to wit fair game, lying, black ops, framing innocent people, trying to drive people insane or to suicide, breaking up families, bankrupting anyone they could squeeze another ten thousand bucks from, disconnecting people from their friends/relatives/business network and much worse.
Scientology is an avariciously fanatic and brutal cult and by and large the Scientologists PAY FOR THAT, SUPPORT THAT, ENABLE THAT & RECRUIT OTHERS TO LIKEWISE SLAVISHLY SERVE THAT. Of course you're right that Scientologists often only catch a glimpse or have a notion of really goes on behind closed doors---but they do typically know about doctrines of "always attack" and "fair game" and "acceptable truths"(lying) and "dead agenting" and "greatest good" and the "religion angle" (to game the IRS) and pathological lying to the media about disconnection, Xenu, the cost of doing Scientology's "bridge" and the 100% failure of Scientology "technology" to generate even one (1) Clear or OT with the promised paranormal powers and miracles.
Scientologists, despite doing everything possible to avoid "knowing how to know" what Scientology is doing (to defraud, demonize & destroy others) do detect a daily deluge of diabolical depravity. They just choose to ignore it, much like a German train engineer in the early 1940s who is stunningly aware that all those millions of train passengers crammed into boxcars only have one-way tickets to their remote camp destinations. They know it but just don't want to ask anyone why those passengers never make the return trip back to their homes.
Bottom line---Scientologists are by default enlisted in the cult's military and follow orders or do whatever they can to ensure "victory" over Scientology's enemies. They aren't always the ones squeezing the trigger of a sniper rifle, but they toil for decades in the ideal bullet factories.
