A friend who is still “in” who disconnected from me, right before I got out of the church told me that the Student Hat had been changed to make it easier for our kids to get through the course. They took out that tape that had all the technical camera and photography terms. This is how they get a new an improved course, by deleting tons of LRH stuff which is directly against the KSW that we were forced to read on every course and then some.

TJ I was writing you a big long validation and it got erased accidentally, so I’ll start again, but abreviated. This is the one of the best explanations of the con perpetrated by Hanan and Rizza Islam so far. I like that you explain how this hurts us all, as we pay taxes and tax money doesn’t go to where it needs to help people if you rip off Medi-Cal or Medicaide. That guy who thought it was nice to “stick it to the man” doesn’t know that that “man” includes him as a tax payer, or him as a person who gets robbed when poor can’t pay for meds or a place to live. It affects us all. Please publish your post in all the newspaper editorials and include that they are Scns who gave stolen money to the IAS, which doesn’t give actual help to anyone other than themselves. Great post.

The glass might be half full regarding banners. If someone were interested in a front group being promoted and did some investigation and found out it was aligned with scientology they might investigate scientology. Oops

Clarification – The course had four or five tapes. Before listening to each tape all of the words in the tape were looked up in the dictionary.

“Fish fly, clams swim and birds shut up” is something new.

Will clams ever fly?

The same thing could be done with a a page or two from a children’s book. Educators could determine a good age to do so. It would possibly be difficult but so is learning math.

Banners will cause few if any people to become Scientologists. It’s more like a feel good activity. “Look! We’re promoting!” pfft
