Kinda like Ron. Reclusive and in hiding from the piper.

“I think Mike’s blog is about getting some info or “stats”, so you can decide for yourself”.

I’ll raise a glass to that!.

Mike, THANK you for being here and communicating prolifically with your own brand of style and wit.

Happy New Year to you and Christie and the kids.

2015 can’t help but be exciting.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Alanzo,
A quick compliment in this new year seems in order. I like your posts these days 🙂

Well Alanzo, your grace and intelligence shines this morning 🙂

Rabidly frothing Alanzo is easily tamed and corrected by Scientologists who use sound reasoning supported by good quality evidence.

So I stand corrected.

How’s this?

Better?

In answer to 1984’s post, I think the whales think that they are helping mankind and that the acknowledgement they receive is seen by them on the basis of their doing good deeds and making sacrifices to that end and is regarded as such by their peers. If they knew that their money was being spent on bailing out Org utility bills because DM ruined the Tech then I think they would not be best pleased at being lied to and defrauded out of their money. They might even want it back. But if they do, they had better hurry before it is all gone. If that figure of $450m per year to run the entire global organisation is correct, and I am guessing they have about $1b total value real estate, then only those who can kick off their court cases early will get paid.

BFM,
If the IRS revoked the tax-excempt status I wonder if they would ask for BACK TAXES retroactively.
That would make more than a big dent into the still existing reserves. This may be wishful thinking
but if possible would speed up the Co$ demise considerably. Very likely that tax-excempt status was
awarded based on false or incomplete data..

Good analogy I now believe. Reluctantly. You could possibly buy all sorts of add-on water filters, purifying tablets, ad nauseum but why not find sources of pure water.
