Good question to ask!  Actually, I think they have paid for placement of Dianetics in bookstores from time to time, since the public lost any real interest in it decades ago.  There were recent reports of Dianetics being seen in airport bookstores, and I assume that must involve paid placements.]]></description>

When I sold books I asked a few staff why Dianetics wasn&#039;t being sold in the major book stores.  Another not OK question but it seemed reasonable and logical to me.  None of them could answer.  I also asked why DMSMH and other books ween&#039;t being advertised on TV.  I&#039;ll let you know if they ever answer me :)]]></description>

Ok, I&#039;m back because I just thought of something ELSE.  Pursuant to people whose abilities and inabilities to confront can differ widely in every way, when someone who&#039;s been in Scientology for decades is unable to confront what is the obvious,  steady shrinkage of their org, what is not being confronted is not just a mere ISSUE but the keystone, the linchpin, stable datum, whatever, of the person&#039;s life.  THIS is why we think they&#039;re looney because denial of org shrinkage carries SO much significance, there is SO much attached, that, effectively, it EQUATES to a repudiation of  ALL  of Scientology and L ROn Hubbard himself.  

Of course, in actually, it DOES NOT, but they don&#039;t see it that way.

WE saw and see it that way.  WE made and can still make the distinction between org shrinkage and the actual subject.  But they cannot, or, will not, possibly because they don&#039;t have what it takes INSIDE, notwithstanding their intelligence, to stand up and say, &quot;This is what I SEE&quot;.  Declaring the truth possibly about what they plainly see has been severe org shrinkage is tantamount in their minds to renunciation of Scientology, their group, and their entire adult lives.  

This is A = A = A reactive mind thinking ON THIS ISSUE which unfortunately for them is the linchpin of their lives.  So, to be nutty and blind on THIS issue causes them to be nutty and blind on everything that has to do with Scientology.  Its all LIINKED, for them.

Whew!  I THINK I&#039;m getting closer.]]></description>

Yes, I understand YOU, Visitor. Its them who puzzle me.

SORRY to be a bore and hold on to this like a dog with a bone  but what I still struggle to understand is how SOME of us koolaid drinkers could observe the obvious and others (some otherwise highly intelligent people) could NOT, and CAN NOT observe the obvious concerning what is manifestly apparent to ANYONE who isn&#039;t blind, deaf and/or mentally impaired!  Why/How could WE do it and not they? 

Intelligence per se doesn&#039;t appear to be a factor.  What IS the factor?

 I&#039;m still struggling to isolate what it is.  Maybe I&#039;m being myself obtuse and dumb in my inability to isolate what it is. 

 Maybe its just the willingness to confront THIS issue.

  Perhaps their willingness to confront OTHER issues is high.  

They DO, after all,  know VERY well what &quot;confront&quot; is, and how the inability to confront causes all KINDS of life complications.  

So it could be just as simple as their unwillingness to confront THIS issue, whilst having NO problems at all confronting and handling (speedily and well) other issues.  

Visitor, you needn&#039;t respond at this point if you don&#039;t need/want to; I&#039;m thinking out loud right now. 

Perhaps its simply the fact that each of us can all shrink from confronting certain things and these things can be different from person to person.  Ok, I think I&#039;m getting it....I think...:)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The problem with all cults like Scientology is they can&#039;t keep up the pretenses forever. Eventually, they&#039;ll implode from a lack of converts, money, falsehoods, scandals, investigation, etc. All of these are true in the case of Scientology. They are now in desperation mode and trying what never works. It&#039;s a lose-lose proposition for Scientology as they bleed money and participants through every orifice.
