Typical, Peacemaker. The last thing scientology needs and wants is to be identified as scientology. It was the same 45 years ago when we snuck into Clearwater as “United churches”, an organization that AFAICT had no legal existence before or after. It’s for certain that few or none of us actually were parishioners in any known church.

PRObs, I see that their location in Puerto Rico is listed as Dianetics Center of Puerto Rico, which as far as I know is a rather old fashioned name for a mission franchise, dating back to when they put a lot of effort into the subterfuge of using Dianetics as a seemingly separate lure into Scientology. I can’t readily find any specific information in the database of Scientology corporate information, though.

Bigger missions and older orgs would even have separate entrances with different signage. A few of the laggards that are really behind the times still do.

Bill. The one I saw was probably a ‘ratus norvegicus’. Who knows what it was eating. It was an X-Rat.

I’ve taken charcoal tablets. They help with gas / indigestion. They won’t do anything for food poisoning or diarrhea. Did Hubbard hate Pepto-bismol or something?

Bang on, the perfect explanation of how life is valued in the spiritually bankrupt cherch.

That reminded me of the large foot long rat that ran through the galley while I was washing dishes.

I was HGC Admin in 81 but I started as a Tech Page and Board IC in 79 so we could have met.
