"...I have many friends that are members in good standing that have bought paintings from me..."
It appears that Arthur is sincerely wishing to express himself on the topic of Scientology, yet he must be aware that, if he crosses a certain line, he will lose some friends and, perhaps, some patrons.
Before this, the only L. Ron Hubbard offspring to say anything independently, publicly, on the topic of Scientology was L. Ron Hubbard Jr.
Post January 1986, there was a settlement, involving a payment of an undisclosed sum of money, along with the standard gag agreement, to the Hubbard offspring. Are we to assume that Arthur was not gagged?
To indulge in some (perhaps extreme) cynicism, would it be possible that Miscavige has decided it's time to create - or expand - the "I'm not a Scientologist, but..." operation: a collection of people who are former Scientologists and have a (pretty much) positive (yet convincingly independent) or, at least, comfortably neutral, expressed view of the Scientology organization?
Another such person would be the small businessman - Morton Myers - who's currently running for mayor of Clearwater, Florida.
The statements from that aspiring Mayor of Clearwater, and from Arthur, are very different than that of Guy White who is the former husband of Suzette Hubbard.
There's no response (of which I know) to either Morton Myers or Arthur, but there has been a strident response of disapproval from Scientology Inc. to Guy White.
Arthur does seem more authentic than Morton of Clearwater.
I think everyone wishes Arthur well.

By chance, if Arthur sees this, he might enjoy a video/audio of Jung attempting to communicate with his Soul:Arthur quotes Carl Jung in his blog: "One of the main functions of organized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God."

He is certainly welcome to join ESMBR.
