Large numbers of experienced and qualified staff were expelled in one major purge. The Church has remained implacably hostile to those it expelled in 1982 and those who have supported them. The Church regards itself as entitled to use active harassment tactics in the course of collecting evidence. It made use of private investigators for visible surveillance which also aimed to exert a degree of intimidation. The perceived injustice of this will give a continuing motivation to prove the Church wrong and themselves right. Thus the Church may by its own actions be contributing to the chances of the survival of the Independent Scientologists. The initial enthusiasm generated by those Scientologists who had fallen out with the Church did create a very heady and exciting atmosphere within the Independent movement. Whether this goodwill and cooperation will continue and be able to hold together a loose federation is in some doubt. Already signs of differing views can be detected.
