					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Somehow this message doesn&#8217;t seem to have much impact on the world of scientologists. How bizarre is this posting on Facebook? A non-Sea Org member is trying to find someone to &#8220;replace&#8221; the prospective SO member as an attendant at a car impound lot, earning $535/week. In the real world, you give your notice [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Another new wrinkle in the scientology world generated by outside pressure. It is a PR exercise of course, and will be of no comfort to the broken families around the world who have members who have been declared. But it is an indication that scientology is feeling the heat about breaking up families and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This recent article  appears to spell trouble for scientology&#8217;s Sea Org recruitment efforts. For decades, scientology has exploited the immigration laws to bring foreigners into the country under the guise of them being &#8220;religious workers.&#8221; In fact, the vast majority of those so brought in ended up doing menial jobs (housekeepers, gardeners, filers etc etc) [&#8230;]]]></description>

It is just how things are done. But let us take their hype figures at face value. Even they admit that every SO member is going [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Christi Gordon sent me copies of these pages which were created at Flag, Christmas 1976. They are the lyrics for a musical performance that was part of the annual Bosun&#8217;s party (I wrote about the infamous first Bosun&#8217;s Party at Flag in 1975 in my book). The lyrics would be considered horrendous &#8220;J&#38;D&#8221; now &#8212; [&#8230;]]]></description>

The &#8220;job&#8221; they are referring to is attaining a &#8220;Cleared Planet.&#8221; It&#8217;s what every scientologist has in their mind as the ultimate objective of their efforts. &#8220;Correct estimation of effort&#8221; and [&#8230;]]]></description>

This one is a fascinating glimpse into the mindset of the Sea Org with respect to children. The basic gist of this issue from 1982 is this. Sea Org members are supposed to produce 5X what it [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; This promotional item claims there are 6,600 Sea Org members. That is the absolute best case scenario &#8212; any figures ever put out by scientology are exaggerated, if not completely made up. It&#8217;s probably a thousand or more less than that, but we will take them at their word. 1,200,000 people for each SO [&#8230;]]]></description>
