Hi Wynski,
They did not have the financial or personnel resources to deal with 2000 lawsuits-ever. Hence, my use of the word ” overwhelm ” in my comment.

Mark I never said they weren’t overwhelmed you idiotic straw-man creator. I said they didn’t lack the FUNDS to carry on with the lawsuits. Now, instead of LYING about what people write, rent an IQ.

The original is not, thou shall not kill. It was not to murder. But, as you have stated, REAL Christians are almost non-existent.

Well said, Wynski! Bravo!, in fact. Frankly, I don’t know ANY “Christian” who follows the teaching of Christ to the letter. Turn the other cheek? You are your brother’s keeper? Love thy neighbor as thyself? Judge not, lest ye be judged? Care not for what ye shall wear or what ye shall eat or drink, the Lord will care for you (paraphrased) Now, Do you know ANYone calling himself or herself a Christian who REGULARLY practices ANY of this? Neither do I. And our whole JUSTICE system is based on the ancient premise “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth”. Of course we don’t practice this literally, instead we imprison and execute criminals, and of course, we judge them beforehand! Oh, and did Jesus Christ say anywhere that “Thou Shalt Not Kill” had 2 exceptions, 1) if your country is at war and 2) in self defense? Does Christ say this anyplace? Look, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think what Christ said is WORKABLE or POSSIBLE all the time anyway. These are things to ASPIRE to, certainly, but in actual life, no, not applicable, mostly. But then, I don’t call myself a Christian either! Or any organized religion. Sorry for the rant 🙂

To Wynski:
The IRS had the budget in the 80’s to handle 2000 separate suits by both the church of scientology and its individual parishoners, both of the government entity and of IRS individual employees, is that what you are saying I missed Wynski? My understanding was that that scientological lawsuit phenomenon was no mere headache AND had persisted for years…But, hey if you have information that contradicts the reality of the IRS being overwhelmed by scientology harassment back then, please share it and I WILL read it. Thanks!

You are a quarter of a century out of date with your statement. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE IRS OF TODAY.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE THREAD.

Wynski,
The IRS budget has been seriously reduced and they are understaffed.
Nonetheless, go to scientologymoneyproject.com to see Jeffrey Augustine’s detailed instructions on how to report the church of scientology’s violations of its 501(c)(3) status.
Also, see the link below for a timeline history of scientoligy’s religious tax exemption status battle…

Acqua,
My understanding is that they don’t dock in any American port because the ship does not meet the requisite safety standards/regulations.

You know, everyone, reading this article and all your posts, a thought just occurred: With regard to his stipulation that OT 9 & 10 be released only if and/or when all Scientology Orgs go Ideal, the OTs presenting Miscavige with a “Done, Sir” would be his worst nightmare! I mean, what if someone, some Whale, or some small group of SuperWhales, actually got together and said,

“Let’s do it! Let’s give him the dough! Let’s give COB EVERYTHING he’ll need to get EVERY org Ideal in 2 years! Land, buildings, renovations, furniture, taxes, everything! Its our ETERNITY at stake. The fate of every last man, woman and child and living organism on Earth is at stake! Lets DO it!”

I mean, can you IMAGINE what a pickle Tiny fists would be in THEN? Holy Moly! Would not that be hilarious? OMG.

And, you know, it could happen. It COULD happen. These Whales give him SO much money, there’s no end of koolaid the won’t drink, and they’re getting older, and older, and older…it could happen…”Done, Sir!” God, I would die laughing!

LOL! I’ll bet those OTs really HATE being responsible for Ideal Morgues. What a mind-fuck for them! The further up the Bridge they go, the more free and self determined they’re SUPPOSED to be. But it isn’t like that for them. Instead, the more “OT” they go, the more they’re pressed to serve without pay to further Miscavige’s scams, the more they must unquestioningly obey Command Intention or suffer the consequences. AND along with this unquestioning obedience they have to convince themselves that they’re NOT obeying, that they’re doing what they actually WANT to do! Like I said, a true mind fuck! Pretty gruesome when you really look at it. Because obeying without question and being fully aware that you are obeying without question is one thing, but obeying and believing that you’re doing exactly what you want to do. like these poor devils are doing is quite another! THIS is spiritual freedom? Thanks, but I’ll pass! End of rant!
