					<description><![CDATA[The cult loves to compare itself to legitimate churches. So imagine the Catholic church responding to the pedophilia scandal with a list of its priceless buildings and irreplaceable works of art. Along with a claim that therefore, there&#039;s no way that any priest ever did any wrong. What a firestorm that would have caused! The only reason the cult is not causing such a backlash with this tone-deaf letter is that very few notice and even fewer care. Which makes education about them, such as the one they&#039;re attacking, all the more important.

The Catholic church endured a merciless onslaught of criticism for its scandals (as well it should have). But no informed non-Catholic doubts that this church has engaged in countless works of charity and social betterment. But despite millions of this and square feet of that most people, even in the US where most of the cult is located, will have never met a single person who has been helped by the cult or witnessed them pitching in at a disaster site or perform any charitable efforts whatsoever. So good luck trying to get mileage out of the charity and community-mindedness that they so utterly lack!]]></description>

Ammo Alamo, nothing could be more true. I remember back then New era occasionally started some fundraising among the public for a &#039;campaign to send hubbard&#039;s tech to third world countries or places where no one had heard of it. In reality, they were trying ti clear out the basements of all those unsold extra copies or old editions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Bridge Publications is capable of publishing up to 500,000 books and 925,000 of L. Ron Hubbard’s recorded lectures on CD each week...&quot;  That&#039;s between 52 and 91 TONS of useless CDs clogging up shelves, basements and land fills EVERY YEAR, depending on how fancy the wrapper.   But CDs are the smallest piece of the discarded waste from Hubbards bloviating - add in another 500-750 TONS of wasted paper and cover materials every year from book publishing, and we get a waste stream of truly Hubbardian proportions, about 550 to 850 TONS of waste paper and plastic run through Bridge Pubs each and every year.  Yecch.  I&#039;ll bet it smells, too.

Of course, Bridge Publications can not yet enter the current century and make Hubbs trivial written and spoken garbage available in e-book digital Cloud format, with easy streaming access - because Miscavige can&#039;t figure out how to make sure the rubes all pay full price for everything they might read or download, and double price when two copies are demanded to be purchased.  

Though Hubbard once said something to the effect &quot;The work is free - keep it so&quot; there is no indication anything in Scientology is free other than boxes and boxes of unwanted &quot;Way to Happiness&quot; wastepaper.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear David Miscavige...oops, I mean Karin Pouw:

Growth is not an indicator of how much good an organization does, and yet here you are harping on it far more than any of your alleged good works. Perhaps because you have actual buildings to show people (albeit empty ones) and you have had zero concrete, demonstrable positive effect anywhere in the world?]]></description>
