					<description><![CDATA[I love how scientologists cry foul whenever their cult is criticized and couch it under the umbrella of &quot;religious intolerance.&quot;  Yet I never seem to hear them cry foul when any other religions are criticized. The true test of defending religious intolerance is to come to the defense when it happens to religions other than your own. I don&#039;t currently have HBO, but plan on subscribing so I can see this documentary. I can&#039;t wait.]]></description>

Not to rain on your parade --  but if you think David Miscavige is going to resign because some anonymous, unnamed people ask him to, I have a Bridge to Freedom to sell you. He will be left with nothing when people no longer listen to him or trust him. Those people have to be reached. Think back to when you were in the bubble and if some anonymous person on the internet had been saying that Miscavige needs to resign what you would have thought. Sorry, but anonymous people, no matter how well intentioned, arent going to accomplish reaching people and getting them to open their minds. If anything, anonymity causes them to close up further and reject.]]></description>

YES !  That&#039;s exactly where I saw a lot of stuff too, Aquamarine. THAT&#039;S why I&#039;m saying that this is a PR WAR, not a war that we can win in court. 

There is no way to trace what a Scientologist looks at with his/her eyes while they are waiting in line. Not yet anyway. So, if enough public know about what Miscavige is actually doing, there will be an uprising, not only from the Scientologists, but among the never ins who care about their family/friends in Scientology, and from the people who just don&#039;t like people bullying and cheating and lying to others.

&quot;WE DEMAND that Miscavige resign from the Corporation of Scientology.&quot;

If you agree, please pass this simple idea of what we need and want on to other EX&#039;s, other blogs and message boards and the media. 

If we go in there with a clear statement of purpose, I believe we&#039;ll get more help achieving that objective.

LRH definition of &quot;REASONABLENESS&quot; (one of my favorite definitions ever)

4.
an objective can always be achieved. Most
usually, when it is not being achieved, the
person is finding counter
-intention in the
environment which coincides with his own
(this is
reasonableness),
and his attention
becomes directed to his own counter-
intention rather than to his objective, i.e. he
has interiorized into
the situation. (FO 2116) 

http://www.stss.nl/stss-materials/English%20Books/EN_BO_Modern_Management_Technology_Defined_BIG_7.8mb.pdf

Soooo, what I&#039;m saying is, let&#039;s not let the world, media, general population, Scientologists (still in) or Scientologists (out) be REASONABLE about this. Miscavige is a virus in the machine which must be extracted, one way or the other. I would call him a vampire, sucking the lifeblood out of people, but he&#039;s too short. Let&#039;s call him a bed bug instead. And we know what we do with bugs. 

AN OBJECTIVE CAN ALWAYS BE ACHIEVED.

WE DEMAND that David Miscavige resign from the Corporation of Scientology. Now.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Caller: Hello HBO?  I want to cancel my service.

HBO: Certainly.  May I ask why you are canceling?

Caller: Because HBO is attacking my Church.

HBO: You have a Church?

Caller: No, I don&#039;t have a Church but the Church to which I belong is being attacked.

HBO: Thank you.  I understand and am happy to touch assist you.  So can you give me your account number so I can get the process rolling?

Caller: Well I don&#039;t technically have an account.  I was definitely thinking of getting one someday, but until HBO apologizes I can&#039;t imagine having an account. Wait, did you say &quot;touch assist&quot;?

HBO: I don&#039;t know what you mean, but I am having trouble duplicating what you are saying.

Caller: I don&#039;t want HBO to broadcast this show - I am very upset - and am using my would-be account to leverage this outcome.

HBO: I understand.  We at HBO are concerned that you have become so enturbulated over our upcoming broadcast.  Recall any earlier broadcasts that have created a similar response?

Caller: Well, uh I think if --

HBO: That, right there, what is that?

Caller: I was thinking about the time when you broadcast that profile of Bob Minton.

HBO: That wasn&#039;t us, that was NBC, another channel.

Caller: OK.

HBO: Recall any earlier broadcasts that have created a similar response?

Caller: No.

HBO: Your needle is floating.  

Caller: Wait, what?  Are you auditing me?

HBO: I am not auditing you.  Have you ever enslaved a planet?  Just kidding.

Caller:  That&#039;s not funny.

HBO: OK, let&#039;s move on then.  In order for me to process your request to cancel the account you were hoping to have, I&#039;m going to need a credit card number and charge you $250, but with your would-be subscriber discount it will only be $225.

Caller: What?  I don&#039;t have a credit card.  And why do I have to pay you?

HBO: I understand.  We can help you get a credit card, or do you have any other sources you might be able borrow some money from?  Seriously, the eternity of premium cable programming is at stake here…now is not the time to let us down.  Besides, if you pay the fee this week we will make you an HBO Patron Meritorius.

Caller: OK, I&#039;ll do it.  I guess I could borrow something from my mother.  When do you need it by?

HBO: Wednesday afternoon would be the latest in order to make sure we process everything by Thursday at 2.

Caller: OK. But then you will cancel my would-be subscription in time for March 29?

HBO: Yes, not a problem. Is there anything you care to say or ask before I end the call?

Caller: No.

HBO: End of call.  You may put down the phone.]]></description>
