Alcoboy – You duplicated my comm and I’m “ack’ing” you. 🙂

Richard, I duplicate your comm(damn, I sound like a Scientologist!) and I agree that some, in fact, a good deal of the comments on this blog borders on hate speech, pro or con. Many times I have stated my viewpoint that I have benefited from certain parts of the tech but there are things in the church I disagree with. And out come the fangs and claws!”How dare you say anything good about that fraudster LRH and his tech!” And you’re right about the kids on the bouncy slide and the art class. If that is what this org wants to do as a children’s activity then that is their right. There may be issues in the church that need to be addressed but attacking a kids’ activity is not how to go about it.
Did I get that right?

Alcoboy – I’m aware that you’re LDS from previous comments you’ve made on the blog. I’m not making the tired argument that scientology is just another wacky minority religion, but that some of the criticism borders on hate speech. It doesn’t exactly fit, but look at this topic. What’s the big deal about a bouncy castle kids party with a Way To Happiness seminar as they call it or a kids art class?

My mother put me in Sunday school when I was seven or eight years old but I got kicked out for being too rambunctious or something. They should have had a bouncy castle to let me work off some energy before they sat me down for an hour of lessons about baby Jesus.

Well, Richard, I, um,er, happen to be Mormon myself. I understand that you wrote the song in all good fun not being aware of my LDS membership but, in all due respect I find it offensive. Again I understand that there was no intent on your part to offend.
And as for our good ‘friend’ Mr. Howarth, he is the Scio version of some rabid anti-Mormon showing up on an LDS website and spewing venom. I still feel that he is one of those Kool-aid guzzlers who thinks that David Miscavige had the answer to everything.

Alcoboy – I think Ron H. makes a couple of valid counter points to the scn criticism here but he’s too hostile. I was thinking of a rough analogy to a devout Mormon showing up on an anti Mormon site and presenting some counter points to the criticism. It’s unlikely that he or she would go into threats about Hell and damnation.

Since we’re composing, how about this?

One quiet night when the evening sky was red,
Brigham Young with one of his many wives snuggled into bed.
Fornication commenced with great abandon
Conception occurred! The Lord’s Will commended!

Ammo Alamo – I liked the reference which I just read.

[The bulk of humankind, today and in history, has been far too busy struggling for survival to engage in lengthy philosophical analyses. So if an examined life is one in which more than just a little investigation takes place, by implication, huge swathes of humanity are ignorant beasts.]

Even if people have adequate food, clothing and shelter I think most people concern themselves with getting ahead however they define it. Before Mark Rathbun went on his anti scn cult crusade his topics stayed up for at least a few days allowing for more back and forth conversation and debate. This is a daily blog and mostly reiterates lies and stupidities coming from the COS so I’m posting on yesterday’s news but thanks for the reference.

Thanks Bixntram! Good decision! And MIke thank you for your awesome decision! You’re right that people don’t come here to be abused.

Thanks, Mike, for unmasking Ron and telling us his history. Whacko! I say ignore till he goes away.

Thumbs up!

Mark, you forgot to indicate his stuck needle.
