Don’t ya hate it when you’re trying to be sarcastic and somebody takes you seriously? “Just own it” – I’m still laughing about that one. Sounds like something from that chapter of whatever book it was entitled Responsibility. I tried selling my memories, but I guess I’m forced to own them! 🙂

Yep, I’ve moved on. I’m pretty proud of my new custom house on 2 acres with a 5-car garage full of Mopar Muscle. I guess my pile is growing…and I feel pretty damn ok. Cheers.

In reply to Cindy. I know it's kinda hard to apply in solitary but perhaps when he gets out. ;-)

In reply to MJ. It's a good CS, MJ. But I think it is lost on DM. He can't laugh at anything and especially at himself. But the others of us could apply your CS and have some fun with it too.

In reply to SirRalliart. Just own it and move on SirRalliart. We all have scars and unpleasant history. Live now with integrity, and do now, what will make you proud of yourself. That pile will grow and you'll be ok.

Detroit already was in a big bank building downtown. It was made out of stone, cement, marble, steel and glass, with high ceilings. In the winter the heating bills were outrageous so of course there often was no heat. Staff gathered in the sauna for a bit to warm up. Wonderful PR. Looks like the same thing will be happening here too.

The org was moved ten miles north into a nice suburb, right downtown Royal Oak, because Detroit closed up at 5pm and no one in their right mind would walk the streets of downtown after dark. Foundation org did not have a fun time of it.

Not sure what the downtown area is like now. It’s supposedly improving? That’s good, but out of the small amount of people still willing to do the RC$-style Scn in that area I bet they do NOT live near downtown. They live in the suburbs so will have to drive a long way. More of the same…saying you’re watching out for the public’s welfare when it’s the exact opposite. The staff and the die-hard public must be feeling awful.

Actually, this is what a tax shelter looks like. The owner obviously is not trying to make money off this property (or it would say “welcome”). Instead, it makes it easier to say “this is church property” when you buy non-income producing property and thus are not subject to taxation.

In reply to DodoTheLaser.

It’s called poaching. We had to get them before Flag got there. Of course being Snr C/S Cincinnati, I made several trips up there to “reg” them with an e-meter. I was on orders that everyone who had my “metered assessment” needed a higher level action that amazingly we could provide – typical Scilon regging. Somehow I made the meter read on what I wanted (out-Int, PTS Rundown, blah, blah). I always wore cowboy boots for all BS I was slingin’. To add salt to the wound, the “org” left me hanging with over $2,000 of un-reimbursed expenses before we got ordered to stay away. Thanks for stirring up those crappy memories! 🙂

I just can’t get over this! Mike and Special Correspondent, what a FIND! The cult will never live this down. I’ll bet its all over the net by now. I’m gonna go check. Oh, and one more thing: to that wonderful Detroit CICS staff or pubic who posted that sign – THANK YOU. Soon enough you’ll end up lurking and hopefully one day posting on this blog. You’ve got friends here.
