					<description><![CDATA[Wow. Unbelievably, they see no need to provide any explanation as to why they &quot;need&quot; you to donate to a project that has already achieved its stated purpose before this plea for money was written.

What is the &quot;donation&quot; needed for? Don&#039;t ask questions! Just hand over the money!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;d love to see it as a KMart or better yet, a huge,  luxurious,  over-the-top glitzy Hotel and Casino with top entertainers, showgirls, bars, VIP lounges, designer boutiques,  lavish restaurants,  just  the works, attracting tourists from all over,  to rival or surpass anything in Vegas or Atlantic City.  I want Donald Trump to buy the Super Power Building.  Its right up his alley.

Of course, I don&#039;t live in Clearwater so I have no idea how the actual residents would cotton to this usage so please, people -  no insult intended.

 I just think it would be supremely ironic for this building to some day soon be very profitable and well known, for its businesses housed within to be making money hand over fist while at the same time creating a ton of jobs, paying property and business taxes and otherwise supporting and revitalizing the town of Clearwater.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I would be embarrassed to see my name engraved on that useless, monstrous, decadent building. 

Knowing middle-class America, anyone who sees that building will NOT be impressed.  They will see it as phony and superficial, which it is. Of course, DM &quot;could care less&quot; about us regular folks.  He&#039;ll just call us &quot;middle-class PTS&quot; and demand our worship.  Of Him.]]></description>

JTFA, you read my mind.  I&#039;m thinking that surely the placques must be removable. I would also at some point, appreciate someone&#039;s take on the refundability of IAS memberships for those declared, with or without goldenrod who had Lifetime memberships and beyond.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-epitaph-give-us-your-money-now/#comment-23252&quot;&gt;Joe Pendleton&lt;/a&gt;.

Funny and true, Joe.  

As soon as I communicated in writing  in a conservative  tone level that I was completely done with the IAS and done with Ideal Org fundraising, I was dropped, very quietly, without a word.  The silence was deafening!  It was so obvious that they didn&#039;t want me around, yet there was nothing they could grab onto to make me wrong  no nastiness, no entheta, no make wrong; I just said what I had to say clearly, politely and firmly.  It took several detailed emails before the invitations stopped.  In fact, all comm from my org stopped. The silence told me all I needed to know. The equation goes like this:

 No More Ideal Org Donations + No More IAS Donations = NO MORE RCS.

For anyone lurking here who wants to withdraw without making waives, I recommend this strategy.  Just make sure you keep your &quot;refusal to donate&quot; comm in writing with no make-wrong or anything that could be construed as &quot;entheta&quot; in it, no matter how many of your button are pressed, no matter how pissed off, or in grief you are. I found the conservative tone level to be very effective as there was nothing &quot;sticking out&quot; for them to &quot;hang&quot; onto so that they could &quot;handle&quot; me.  

All they got from me was cool, detailed, collected comm wherein I acknowledged full responsibility for all I had donated to date,  with the equally firm decision to do no more of it, with no justifications, no reasons why, no hint of being a victim.

No one ever answered me. Their utter silence told me that regging for Idea Orgs and for the IAS  ARE  the principal activities of orgs today.]]></description>
