Rice and beans? Oh wait, they have that covered, right?

I know you’ve answered me before on this topic but I can’t get it out of my mind. David Miscavige took advantage of the eminent domain lawsuit to get into a nicer building as the original Buffalo org was in a red light district and the city wanted to clean up the area and gentrify it.

A short time earlier, a long term parishioner and auditor at the Buffalo org, Ellie Perkins was murdered by her (legally) psychotic son, Jeremy Perkins. Ellie Perkinks daughter also works at the Buffalo org with her husband. There was a lot of investigation by the CoS when this happened, including security checking.

The two events came together perfectly because it always seemed to me that the “entheta” had to be “out created” and this was the perfect opportunity. The news of the homicide and the CoS was all over Western NY. It was horrible PR for the church and the Scn public too.

No doubt there was immense pressure on the Sgroi family to handle it with donations. Their business, Sgroi Financial is still going strong in Buffalo today.

“A good, stable adult with love and tolerance in his heart is about the best therapy a child can have.”

This was always my favorite. Reminds me of El Con kidnapping his own child and threatening to her mother that he would kill her if mom didn’t do what he wanted.

And THEN, ensuring that parents who were his S.O. slaves were very UNSTABLE and impoverished. LMAO!

I recall some of those quotes in which Hubbard uses the word, “love”. Thank you for proving the word was not completely absent from his lexicon. He said we must love our fellow man in spite of a strong inclination to do otherwise. Great advise from Jesus, the Buddha, Aristotle and my Aunt Betty, none of whom (to my knowledge) ever perpetrated an act of savagery equal to what was committed against Paulette Cooper. On the subject of love Hubbard wasn’t preaching revolutionary concepts therefore the only contribution he could have made on that subject would have been to live up to what he preached.

Roger, here are some quotes that mention love:

From the essay “How to Live with Children” –

“A good, stable adult with love and tolerance in his heart is about the best therapy a child can have.”
.

And from “What is Greatness?” –

Seeking to achieve any single desirable quality in life is a noble thing. The one most difficult—and most necessary—to achieve is to love one’s fellows despite all invitations to do otherwise.
[…]

True greatness merely refuses to change in the face of bad actions against one—and a truly great person loves his fellows because he understands them.
[…]

It requires real strength to love Man. And to love him despite all invitations to do otherwise, all provocations and all reasons why one should not.

Happiness and strength endure only in the absence of hate. To hate alone is the road to disaster. To love is the road to strength. To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very well be the greatest secret in this universe.”

Nickname, asked “When someone insists that white is black, that capitalism is the ruination of mankind, that there is 64X… is it not incumbent upon the responsible people to draw lines, responsibly? … Most societies do draw lines at some point, and regardless of the right to freedom. “Everyone cannot speak at once” is taught in grammar schools, but on blogs …? If every heckler is given a voice, reasonable people will leave because the assemblage is non-productive.”

So, What “lines” in society and, how exactly to enforce? Interesting line of “thought”. Equating speech with blowing up bridges… Hmm. DO tell Nickname.

That wasn’t me… And I don’t think this is true, other than the fact he can write anything he wants and proclaim “it was LRH intention as described in a despatch for my eyes only” and nobody will ever challenge him on it.

If somebody refers to the person you hold in high esteem as, “L. Fraud Flunkout”, why not advance an argument explaining why you object to it and why he shouldn’t do it?
