…because in my case, the upper orgs already got their percentage when the income first went into the account. Then, when I agreed to use to balance to donate books and ASHO cut a check for the full balance, they literally got that percentage again, and ASHO lost money in the transaction.

Miracles For Breakfast – I remember that one. It was by Ruth Minshull. It was banned as being “non-Source” or some such bullshit many years ago. “How to Choose Your People” was another book by Minshull. They were much easier to read than Hubbard’s stuff and thus were very popular in their time (early 1970s).

Hell, who wants to run around with an entire library when they fly to Flag to study? eBooks, mp3 anyone? Oh, I just remembered… teh Internet is a baaad, baaad place.

And you do get asked on A-J if you illegally downloaded anything or looked at anti-Scientology sites. Sorry, guys.

“what else are they lying about?”

Second Coming… there is a really cool scifi saga by Kevin J. Andersen, called “Saga of Seven Suns”. In it, the Chairman of the Hanseatic League (who runs Earth and colonies) operates in the background and has a fake puppet king as “representative” and “spokesperson”. I know, DM would loathe to give up the limelight, he enjoys it more than power. But wouldn’t it be funny if he actually presented some guy as “LRH in his new body”? It would take a lot of training to come across as a credible LRH 2.0, of course, but if it could be accomplished, the scam could go on forever…

Completely off the wall, but it’s almost as much fun as speculating when and how the final hour will strike.

Fantastic Doug! I’m in LA too and my whole family has done 5 L’s, a clear attest, 3 reviews, and a life repair. I’ll never go back to the straight jacket called the corp. church. Flourish and prosper!
