Absolutely....2nd season!!!!.  The 1st season is what got me hooked on the subject.  Having never been in, I find it hard to understand why anyone would join something like this ....it all seems so EVIL....and that little weinie...whats his name?  &#039;Missed cabbage&#039;...can&#039;t wait &#039;til they lock him away. Final point.....they call themselves a &#039;church&#039;   never heard GOD mentioned.....hmmmmmmm.......PS....Always liked Leah Remini.  I find her very believable.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I entered into the cult of Scientology in 1972 in New York, the chief male Ethics Officer was trading &quot;check sheet&quot; elimination for sex from the female mission members.  I will never forget how it all started.  They found a homeless drifter on the New York streets.  He got a shower and a haircut and some new clothes.  They gave him a course and made him Ethics Officer.  At first I wondered why the women were spending so much time in the Ethics Office.  After about six months, this drifter took about $2,000 in back rent that he was supposed to be holding in escrow.  He bought auditing and then blew when his &quot;gig&#039; was discovered.  How do I know all of this?  A few years later I ran into one of the ladies.  She said that she had verified stories with other &quot;victims&quot;.  He would place his hand on the shoulder of the woman and say something like, &quot;We can make this checksheet go away.&quot;  
  I never had any respect whatsoever for Scientology Ethics.  I quickly learned how to get myself out of any infraction. Money worked best.  You got a &quot;Reg&quot; on the hook telling him you would donate if you could get clearance.  80% of the time I was free.   I did A-E in one afternoon.  Hubbard had zero respect for any law or any Ethics.  I sensed that if Hubbard got away with everything,  I would be a better Scientologist and he would congratulate me in getting past all the &quot;dummies&quot; that were stuck in Ethics. 
   Hubbard spent his time having tantrums after reading the 19th century occult base.  He could not even get that right. Scientology Ethics is a total joke.]]></description>

Here&#039;s a true 2D story about a Scientology 2D that never got off the ground. 

Back when I was a very new Div 6 public in my little org doing courses like &quot;Ups and Downs In Life&quot; and &quot;Personal Integrity&quot; and so forth, a tall, handsome dark haired guy, a public, not a staff person,  introduced himself to me, asked me some questions about myself. We chatted for a bit and I asked him what course he was doing he told me he was &quot;interning on Class IV&quot;.  I had a vague idea what an auditor was but otherwise had no idea what that meant. I thought he was cute and I like his manner. 

After that night he continued to make a non-obvious point of always smiling at me and saying hello and noticing what I was wearing and complimenting me in non offensive ways...I liked his style and I thought to myself, &quot;Hmmm, at some point, maybe he&#039;s going to ask me out, and if he does, I&#039;ll go out with him&quot;. 

The next time we encountered one another at the org, it was just before evening class, shortly before 7PM and I saw him running upstairs to the academy and I waived to him, but when he saw me he raced back down and said, &quot;Hi, how are you, that&#039;s a very pretty summer dress...&quot; and then from upstairs the Academy Sup  bellowed out, &quot;ONE MINUTE!&quot; and we both laughed and I went into my courseroom and he raced back up the stairs to the Academy.

So now, I was crushing on this guy a little bit.  

But I had a question that needed answering: would I be ALLOWED to go on a date with him?  Because I was Div 6, and he was a Class iV auditor which sounded very exalted to me.  If he did ask me out, which I was pretty sure he was going to do (conceited me) would this be permitted?

So the next time I was at the org, I (ever so casually, I thought) asked a female staff member, &quot;Are public Scientologists allowed to date auditors?&quot;

People, I will NEVER forget the HORRIFIED look on her face at that question of mine!

&quot;WHAT auditors?&quot; she asked.  

I mean, she was looking at me as if I were asking if it were OK to be taken in adultery or something.  Like I was Scientology&#039;s version of Hester Prynne, a kind of Auditor Seducer, or something.

Very uncomfortable now, and realizing that I had totally blundered , I attempted to back and fill: &quot;Oh!  Ha ha!  No one in particular!  I was just curious!&quot;

She was having none of this, of course, and  I was so embarrassed that I didn&#039;t hear what else she said, so I can&#039;t tell you now.

But from that time on this staff member watched me like a hawk.  Which wasn&#039;t hard to do because it was a small org.  And when once more, my crush sought me out again, chatting me up pleasantly, asking me about work, how I was doing on  course, telling me he liked my hairdo, blah blah blah, all this brief encounter meet cute stuff was now occurring right under her baleful gaze.

While talking with him laughing at a little joke he told, with a pang,, I thought,  &quot;This is so over, she&#039;s not going to let us like each other&quot;.  That was my exact thought. And I had no idea why, but I knew it.

Well, not only did he stop &quot;liking&quot; me, he even stopped saying &quot;hello&quot;! 

 Instead, immediately after that,  when we would encounter one another in this tiny org he would avert his eyes and walk past me. This hurt me but I wouldn&#039;t let him see that. Instead, I kept my head up with a little smile and looked right thru him.  

From time to time I would wonder, &quot;What did she tell him about me that made him not want to even say &#039;hello&quot; anymore?&quot;

True.]]></description>
