Yeap, that sounds very familiar indeed.
Now this may have been changed in the meantime under DM&#039;s regime to NOT dropping the name if no
response after 3 mailings.
One could savely assume that David Miscavage has NO INTENTION of actually getting to an Ideal Scene!

Hey Sam -- according to mathematical studies performed by professors from Oxford, when the church claims &quot;over 1500&quot; that really means 147. The secret sauce formula appears to be, round up the number, multiply by ten and add &quot;over.&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[Following has mankind 0,15% scientologists .. means in any 10.000 people are 15 scientologists .. but per new data there is 47X expansion .. there must be now 705 scientologists in any 10.000 people .. but I have neither seen 15 nor 705 .. in my environment I was always the only one .. no other .. 

Have never read that Axiom 38 speaks about as-isness .. sorry .. have read lately that it would do, but was not sure what the people did mean .. Axiom 11 (a) speaks about as-isness .. 

Axiom 38: Anything which persists must avoid as-isness. Thus, anything, to persist, must contain a lie .. it is what is said from LRH .. but it belongs to stupidity and truth and not to as-issness (but you can as-is surely stupidity with truth) .. so comes out, if David Miscavige will have scientology persist, he has to make up lies about .. it is included in Axiom 38 .. 

Long time ago I thought about marriages. You say: I am yours. This is a lie .. but if you stay for it and hold on it as a truth, your marriage will persist .. unfortunately not really true, because every member of the family has to hold on the same lie .. if not, it will wreck .. and this is what is going on in scientology today .. 

Some take the stupidity of lies and others want the truth .. nothing to do with as-isness .. the highest goal in it is to erase the lies .. but that is simply a game ..  LRH did play better with that than David Miscavige ..]]></description>

Actually according to the cult&#039;s published statistics there were &#039;over 1500&#039; people  at the event. I guess that means 1501 clams showed up. Was that another &#039;uncoordinated&#039; press release? Grahame has also published an open invitation to the next event. What an eejit - just asking for it :D]]></description>

A friend of mine told me that in his local Org the people who donated large amounts were feted as if they were highly trained auditors or as &quot;celebrities&quot; and would &quot;strut around&quot; as if they were the bee&#039;s knees. Others would whisper &quot;there is Joe Blow, he&#039;s a this or that Patron Meritorious&quot; in awe of these fools. Some of them had even made NO Bridge advancement in years but were top donators. So as well as all these diversionary tactics from the Bridge, the public attracted to the Church were the wrong types as well - not interested in case or training advancement. So - no wonder the real stats are down.]]></description>

And not only once, but every time you are &quot;queuing up for a burger&quot; someone is hovering around in a threatening manner and asking you again and again for more money for more furniture, other buildings, local policing, fuel for the ships that they bring the burgers over on (Freewinds), the building itself, other buildings, auditoriums etc. ad nauseum ad infinitum. I think you would go to Burger King pretty soon or - stop eating burgers.]]></description>
