					<description><![CDATA[I tried to reply under your comment/reply, too difficult. So I reply here. &#039;Never in&#039; doesn&#039;t imply that I&#039;ve no experience, did the personality test (made all of the answers as negative as possible), one free auditing session, which was dull. Other, always only as a wog.

Your comments abt. Pietro, though, indicate to me that you are still half in. 

I found his comments refreshing and funny. 

You imply that he was probably a reject from Scn., which to me implies that you are still half-in mentally, even though you think that you are out. 

Why else would you think being rejected by them to be a negative thing to say of someone (Pietro)?

Really, I had the impression that they never reject anyone as long as they can extract cash or slave labour from the person. 

You probably won&#039;t read this, the site isn&#039;t set up to work like that, intentionally, I suspect, to avoid arguments, but my regards.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/dog-finally-catches-car/#comment-579619&quot;&gt;Non-fatty no thetan&lt;/a&gt;.

First of all, thank you for responding. Really. I understand that you&#039;re a &#039;never in,&#039; and please believe me for what I&#039;m about to say. Firstly, this blog has helped me &#039;detoxify&#039; from all those years there. I&#039;ve been in the Sea Org for almost 15 years. I joined when I was very young and left as an adult. I also did a good period in the RPF. I took many courses in the SO, and on the RPF, I even trained as an auditor and technical terminal (although those are shorter and more essential courses there). So, if I speak about certain things about scn, it&#039;s because I know them. I&#039;ve been out for 20 years now, and after a few years, I started practicing meditation and Eastern spirituality. Which has nothing to do with scn. So not only am I not a devotee (heaven forbid) but I&#039;m aware that scn drives people away from a true spiritual path. 
As for Pietro, honestly, I don&#039;t wish him any harm. I was &#039;testing&#039; him to understand the guy and unfortunately, I&#039;ve concluded that he&#039;s just like that, not someone who pretends a role. In my opinion he was definitely considered unqualified for scn and sent away from scn, or he experienced who knows what that confused him and he remained attached to the past. 
I&#039;m done, if you have any questions, please ask.]]></description>

Sure, on this site it it is difficult to keep track except with memory. 

I am a never in, enjoyed being a pest to Sci&#039;s at times, so don&#039;t, when I see that you spout &#039;you are not LRH aligned&#039;  with Pietro, it seems to me that you are both Scientologists, not having abandoned  it (although I cannot see one word from Pietro to suggest being a continuer). Dear Loosing, it is clear that you still have some devotion to fatty. 

I see the same on any such sites. 

Never posting before, though some anti-Scn comedy over ten years ago on sites with no connection with CoS. 
 
Some may as well be Scn. centres. Perhaps Pietro, too, but doesn&#039;t seem so.]]></description>

Cindy, just a quick info note. Actually, it&#039;s &quot;Loosing&quot; not &quot;Losing.&quot; When I was thinking of a nickname, I had the REM song on the radio, but I opted for &quot;Loosing&quot; because it can also convey the idea of &quot;getting rid of something&quot; (maybe in stretched English, lol). I&#039;m mentioning this only because the other day a commentator indirectly seemed to suggest I was ignorant about it (that I had confused the two words). 
Anyway, call me whatever you like. Hugs.]]></description>

Keep practicing your Oscar Wilde style witticisms and who knows your talent in wit might even increase enough to be equal to Wilde&#039;s left little finger. A bit of advice, don&#039;t take up comedy because you will starve to death.

And thank you for saying that I make Dante look illiterate, it&#039;s a great honour to be considered superior to him.]]></description>

I laughed at how that sounded, as though you laughed when your wife died.  But I knew what you meant.  I was saying to see what they have to say about the poles moving and shifting.  We have had many floods on the track and some have wiped out whole species.  He attributed the floods to the  poles changing position, and  some even caused continents to move and some are under water from the flooding.  I don&#039;t believe every podcast he has ever done, but the flooding on our track can be and has been proven.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wouldn&#039;t 25,000 be more than all the members and staff they&#039;re reduced to at this point - with only further shrinkage in their future?  Even 15,000 would have been a stretch for them to achieve in the next couple of decades of going downhill, though if they can hold on for another half century to a century without vanishing entirely they might make it.
