it started out being called the “Six month check” which is short for sec check. Then they thought that was out pr so they changed it to the lighter phrase, “refresher” to make you think that after all the sec checking you’ll come out of there totally refreshed.

The SRD is composed primarily of the “Survival Rundown Series’ in HCOB/PL form and was written up by Melanie per LRH’s instructions. He never cancelled the course but criticized it’s marketing angle.

I’m convinced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well said Odd Thomas.

Lol!

“Why I wonder do any of you continue to comment here at all.”

Sorry…but we don’t know why you wonder. It’s perfectly obvious to us, why comments are made. As-is-ness occurs through exact time-place-form-event, which is precisely why your comments are being ridiculed and why you’ll experience no relief.

“Rinder is no more to be trusted than the snake at the top of his post.”

Hmm, snakes are actually quite predictable and are forever getting a bad rap and being associated with, well, idiots like you Emily. They are quite trustworthy in their actions and can be depended upon to do exactly what they were intended to do – survive well, while being in valence. Something, which you are not.

“Mike is one of nature’s pathological liars,always was and always will be.”

An unfortunate comparison, Emily. I daresay, Nature has never produced a liar, nor will she ever. A Beaver never lies about why it built a dam. A Panther never lies about why it killed the deer, nor make excuses for its actions. It’s simply surviving. Not even a virus lies about its desire to co-opt another organism – it just does it. Only man or woman lies and it’s obvious, you’ve gotten pretty good at it.

“Drop it Mike you’re convincing no one. Not here, not now, and not ever.”

Au contraire, mademoiselle. Mike has effectively “convinced” many people to trust their own instincts, Believe in themselves and have faith in their own observations. Unlike you pet, we have evolved.

“If it can be said you are without a doubt one of the most twisted and prolific users of smoke and mirrors it has ever been my misfortune to come across.”

Interesting choice of words …. smoke and mirrors appears to be defined as follows –
… something that seems good but is not real or effective and that is done especially to take attention away from something else that is embarrassing or unpleasant.

So Dearest Emily, what have you done that is embarrassing or unpleasant that prompted you to wrong target Mike? It’s alright, you can trust us to be discreet, we won’t tell ….Him.

Yes, a “refresher” is the commonly used term for the six month check now and has been for a while.

haha LZ! Nothing is EVER free in Scientology. When I used to do recoveries, I was supposed to route people for a free ARCX session, which of course would end the person with a “tip” for their next auditing. Usually the people had something in their life that they really needed help with and it was always you need $$$ amount of intensives.

TP Yes! I have already heard this is the “why” for people falling off VII. In fact it’s the “why” for everyone everywhere.

And wow, after how many years they’ve finally learned to work an e-meter?! Do they even realize what they are saying? (I know, they don’t.)

You did not mention one specific bad thing he might have Done. Did you?
Now, pick up an ethics book and look up the 12 characteristics of an Anti-Social Personality. Get what I am saying? YOU are the one are behaving like that.
See, it goes like this: If you would want your viewpoint to have any believability for sane and intelligent beings you would have to give a complete report here giving TIME, PLACE, FORM, and EVENT. But you can’t do that, can you? So what does a good-hearted, sane and intelligent person do when they realize that they have made a mistake and have treated someone unjustly? Can you do that?
