Thanks for the info. Makes perfect sense. I am sure they are really good people. As are the individual VM’s. I don’t care what color shirt they wear, anyone that sacrifices their own comfort and well-being to go and help others in times of need (even if that “help” they provide may not be what is needed even if they believe it is) is by definition a good person. It is the hypocrisy of using these people as photo ops and for fundraising and leaving them stranded without support that is so abhorrent.

If you believe the money is going elsewhere, e.g., IAS’s coffers, make a report to the IRS using IRS Form 13909 Complaint Form. You do not have to be a US citizen to do this.

The form is available at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f13909.pdf
.
The IRS info on IAS is:

EIN: 980136012
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCIENTOLOGISTS
% SAINT HILL MANOR
SUSSEX RH194JY ENGLAND

Even though IAS is based in the UK, they have an IRS EIN because they operate in the USofA.

and

EIN: 980136014
FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP SERVICES ADMINISTRATIONS
4751 FOUNTAIN AVE LOS ANGELES CA 90029-1712

Perhaps they’ll scream at it, tone-40 style.

That tire is just MEST. It’ll work just as well as with an ashtray.

Hi Tony-b, Thank you for your post. Yes when I first read about ” magic “& David Miscavige I actually saw the word black before magic when there was no word there.The craziness I saw & went though left their mark. Yet I can still laugh @ myself when I really lived The SO way=Ron’s Way.Thank you always & take care Ann B.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your concern.
Situation here is more critical all hospitals are full of
patients and dead bodies over there, so terrible horrible condition in all Hospitals.Our group have started as a volunteers in different areas.
Not only Katmandu but most part of its neighboring places
are also affected by this earthquake. In news we are hearing
there is not a single houses are remaining in some places.
But we are inside Katmandu valley,so haven’t seen any
conditions in other places than in Katmandu. Katmandu is valley and is capital of Nepal.
Sir as I heard to Secretary of Ministry of Economic,he was
telling only problem we have to face is resources but not
money as being poor country many countries are showing their help towards us. India have sent about 10 helicopters for rescue along with team of 50 doctors and food and tons and tons of Medicine and Pakistan and China along with US AID is probably sending rescue team and food and other help so hope food water problem will not exist if Earthquake will not continue as it is not stopping till now.
Next thing we are doing our best from our sides to serve those who have directly affected by this . Sir as time have cometo serve our humanity, your thoughts will work as a support to my team and as we are trying to get in contact with Binod also to continue our work to Serve our mankind.

Joe: I assume some tongue in cheek here. Got to add the word black as “in black magic” at the end. But yes it is over and over again.

Laughter! When I was pregnant and my water broke, I was living in Glendale and my insurance was at Kaiser hospital across from the A.O. in L.A.. This was a few years after I had left the S.O.. I was running from my car in the parking lot at the hospital, my husband holding on to me, sneaking in the shadows of the parking lot structure beams into the the labor/deliver entrance, in labor with twins, I had only had one contraction and one was heading already, I was literally holding the baby in, and, all could think of was that I did not want someone from the Church to see me.
