Way to Happiness? They try to latch on to anything. One of the WTH precepts is Support a Government Designed For All the People.... Don't read anything in there about protests or blocking traffic? A Mini Folder This is to record the mini-BTs? Looney Lewis Is his first question projecting himself onto his audience? Drugged BTs How getting rid of druggie BTs accomplishes this is anyone's guess.

This accompanies the new chapters of the story by Lili Ryder which are being serialized here. Down the Rabbit Hole - Opinionated Glossary of Lingo by Lili Ryder Auditing – Auditing in Scientology consists of a tightly controlled system of techniques to find items/subjects that disturb the parishioner.

What is the Political Affiliation of Scientologists?
Over the years, many people have asked about the political views and affiliations of scientologists. Every time I ask for questions for a listener Q and A episode of the Fair Game Podcast, this question comes up. Of course, while there can be no blanket generalization about the politics of a group composed of individuals, individualism is not encouraged in scientology. One is expected to toe the party line. So you tend to see a lot of people subscribing to the same views about everything. Thanks to Aaron Smith-Levin taking the time to count voters registered at scientology buildings in … [Read more...]

Usually it is these "Drug Free World Booklets" and also Way To Happiness. And you know neither of them make mention of scientology. There is absolutely NO evidence at all that handing out their booklets "results in less crime and less drug use." These fools really believe that a pamphlet is going to stop a criminal from committing a crime or anyone from using drugs? The only PROVEN result of … [Read more...]
