Good post.
I've taken the liberty of snipping the top and bottom link to focus on the middle link. Even those of us who became involved with Scientology, before the Internet, had access to a large amount of information - which we discounted or ignored.
This can still happen, even today, much the same as it did then, usually resulting from the person having meet someone whom he likes and respects who happens to be a member of Scientology, or the person. one way or another, having had a positive experience with some aspect of Scientology. Thereafter the person regards it as unthinkable that Scientology could be anything other than as advertised.

On item in the above thread from original ESMB no longer functions, so here it is:
Contains many interviews with high level Scientologists
who worked with L. Ron Hubbard
The Incredible String Band created five albums before becoming involved with Scientology.
This song was from the time before Scientology.
Scientology prohibits "mixing practices" and regards almost anything not Scientology as "reactive bank" or "squirreling."
This inhibition on creating took a toll on the ISB.
