					<description><![CDATA[I feel sorry for staff who thinks that &quot;management&quot; (COB) cares whether or not anyone goes up the Bridge.  The offered &quot;Bridge&quot; is just an excuse to make asking for IAS donations, Ideal Org donations, Library donations, etc. appear to be justified and O.K., in order to support &quot;The Bridge&quot;.  That is the only reason a semblance of any &quot;Bridge&quot; exists at all.  it has been made impossible to travel on, but it is kept there to keep up the pretense that there is still an org there.  I quit donating to the IAS in 1995 when I learned from Sea Org members that only four or five per cent of the donations collected went to the areas for which they were collected.  It is beyond me how the staff and public can&#039;t see the obvious.  But I guess the coercion of disconnection has them cowed.

The biggest case gain of your life can come from being &quot;disconnected&quot;.  It disconnects you from the physical (for some), mental, spiritual, and financial abuse one undergoes while in the Church.  I started blowing charge when this happened to me and it took me years, and lots of internet searching to find out why.  When I realized what I really was being disconnected from, I understood why every day I would wake up feeling like more charge had left my case.  They did me a HUGE FAVOR, and I feel lucky that it happened to me when it did.  Of course, it was very bad in terms of my son, whom I did eventually get back, but in the long run, it was a good and necessary thing.

Those of you who are &quot;under the radar&quot;, don&#039;t be afraid; all that can happen is you get &quot;de-PTS&#039;ed!!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I had a quiet moment reading the recent posts and noticed a common theme running though everything in $cientology.
There&#039;s really no difference between command intention and God&#039;s will.
Miscavige&#039;s $cientology is a dichotomy of itself. That&#039;s about as big a lie as they come.
I think I need an antacid.]]></description>

There is nothing anyone can do to turn it around. In order to get any sort of future you need new members coming in with money and buying what the &quot;Church&quot; is selling. But they are selling auditing and training and nobody wants to buy that anymore. Not even the current membership. So there will be no new members spending money so the dwindling current membership will have to make up the lack of income, that the &quot;Church&quot; needs to keep running, with ever-increasing donos until they can give no more and the scheme collapses, which will be very soon.]]></description>
