I noticed that when I tried to talk to Barbara Schwarz via email.

Barbara claims she needs no friends and she wants no friends. She gets
downright hostile when you say you want to be her friend.

Barbara considers any discussion of problems or fears suppressive.

Psychology is a prime example. Any talk of psychology is downright
suppressive. "Psych" drugs are even more verbotten.
Barbara Schwarz will never admit she likes me because this would be showing
her personal feelings in public and that's strictly against Scientology
where the only thing one is allowed to like is Scientology itself.

I have noticed that Barbara never posts personal thoughts or observations.
She just repeats the Scientology propanda over and over. She claims to be
versed in science but science fiction is what she spews. Like father like
daughter, I suppose.
The average, run-of-the-mill Scientologist has no money of their own so
what's to discuss. The staffers and the celebrities have money but they
don't discuss their ill-gotten gains out of fear of the IRS.
> 7) Love and sex (no, no, no)
Barbara Schwarz seems to go into seizures at the mere mention of sexual
activities. She practically suffered a coronary when I photoshopped a photo
of a lovely, bikini-clad model in the doorway of her little log cabin. She
took down her web page where she posted some entirely clothed photos of
herself just because they showed a little leg. I think Scientology makes
women frigid as evidenced by Claire Swazey's preoccupation with clitoral
vibrators.

This is very true. Blackmail seems to be among their major concerns. Since
they so readily engage in blackmail they think if they had any friends they
would do the same so they run and hide from friends who would like to be on
their side.
