They must be shuttling the few people who they have left from empty org after empty org to do what there are no locals to do...will he just start flat-out hiring actors to fill the roles soon? He&#039;s done it to fill out crowds.]]></description>

Oh, that would be classic...but he&#039;d probably have the local police arrest them for trespassing and wearing stolen uniforms. They&#039;re all bribed to obey him.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We all had to say that events were amazing, back in the day.  I dreaded them and avoided them whenever possible but when I had to attend I lied afterwards.  I put on a pretty good act.  I piled on, as was expected, about how awe-inspiring it all had been,  and how enlightening I was because of what had been shown us, and blah, blah blah.     Sometimes while spouting this bullshit to the survey takers  I&#039;d wonder if I were the only one who loathed Scientology events and was lying thru the teeth to the survey takers.  I&#039;d wonder my fellow Scientologists&#039;  enthusiasm was actually real.  I would feel guilty for being such a liar and a phony and I would feel guilty because I believed I SHOULD like events - indeed, I believed I should LOVE them.  And I didn&#039;t, I dreaded and disliked them.  Today it amuses me to contemplate the likely possibility that I was far from the only one pretending enthusiasm, appreciation and enlightenment from Int Events, and that I was far from the only convincing liar at these things.  This amuses me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The &#039;fast paced and packed with data&#039; quote really hit me in the gut. It brought back memories of what was probably my very first disagreement with scn. I couldn&#039;t stand those events, and frankly slouched in my chair and cat napped. Sometimes I didn&#039;t even stand up every two minutes for the compulsory standing ovation. Fortunately I had small kids at that time and a wife on staff, so I had a good excuse to go &#039;look after&#039; them. The last few years I never really watched more than a quarter of any event - and left early (&quot;Had to get the kids to bed&quot;). I was upbraided badly for leaving early once by some executive prick from LA and I think that was my last event.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey Mike... Wondering if you&#039;ve ever contemplated doing this: What would happen if you and some of your former CoS exec colleagues showed up at one of these events wearing your old Sea Org uniforms? Just walk in like you belong there and interact with folks like nothing is out of the ordinary. Applaud exuberantly - all smiles... High-five each other, woop and yell like you&#039;re so happy to be there. Stay in character until someone throws you out. That would be f*cking awesome and I bet DM would bust a vein in his head. Jokery and degradery at the highest level. Like Bono said, &quot;Mock the devil and he will flee from thee.&quot;

Keep up the good work. Love your blog, the podcast you and Leah did, and of course Aftermath.]]></description>

No, he won&#039;t. He will always be a child. 

A psychopath cannot learn to feel, only mimic emotions as necessary. 

In the same way, Mister Miscavige cannot learn what he cannot become, no matter the circumstances or events that would force any other empathic person to grow up.]]></description>
