Blacks have largely escaped modern slavery because scientology never appealed to them, much.  I knew of exactly two blacks on staff in NY Org back in the &#039;70s.  Most of scientology advertising appeals much more to whites.  Then, when you read the man&#039;s racist opinions, it&#039;s no wonder there have only been a few blacks in the organization, world-wide. My perception, it could be wrong, is that South Africa&#039;s org was lily-white. NY Org was certainly almost all white. Thinking a bit more, my one visit to DC, FCDC, I don&#039;t believe I saw a single black even though the city is mostly black.]]></description>

True that!  Most are &quot;aging out&quot; in the world of today&#039;s up to date more popular &#038; well knowns among the younger generations who are willing to pay $10+ a head to go to a recently released movie. 

Cruise, Travolta, Alley, Bell have had their day &#038; aren&#039;t relevant nowadays. After all how many Mission Impossible movies can one make. Or how many more &quot;Good Witch&quot; TV series are being viewed.  MOST are &quot;legends in their own mind&quot;.

As long as those celebs keep &quot;funding the cause&quot; to &quot;Clear the Planet&quot;...&#038; until the oldsters are dead &#038; buried....it goes on.]]></description>

Thanks Skyler.

Telling them a shore story about returning is simply playing their game and their reality.  You did good.

In the 70&#039;s I got away with the reply of &#039;NO&#039;.  Early 90&#039;s I did have to tell a SO scheduler : What part of NO don&#039;t you understand?  Then I faded out of their view, forever.]]></description>

Jim - Those implants are a bitch, ain&#039;t they?

A scn auditor with his trusty e-meter at hand could easily unearth those nasty unconscious biases and micro aggressions. &quot;What&#039;s that . . . that . . . ?&quot; etc. Lol

The human mind works on classification. Male/female, tall/short, heavy/thin, black/white etc. Pre judging based on classification would be the &quot;item&quot; in my opinion.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[They might get a few curiosity seekers to show up from the typical self improvement advertising promising new abilities to be gained. In the 1980&#039;s some years after I left scn I got some advertising promo and curiosity got the best of me and I ordered the groups book which was quite expensive. The front cover reads:

The
Neo-Tech Discovery

Manuscript

Neo-Tech Power
and the 

Neo-Tech Advantage
for unlimited

Prosperity. Happiness. and Romantic Love

Frank R. Wallace
......................................

It turns out it was an Objectivism type philosophy (what&#039;s real is real, existence is self evident, etc.) and the guy had some interesting ideas and it was an interesting contrast to the it&#039;s only real if it&#039;s real to you premise suggested (but not followed) by Hubbard/Scn.

from wiki: 

The name &quot;Objectivism&quot; derives from the idea that human knowledge and values are objective: they exist and are determined by the nature of reality, to be discovered by one&#039;s mind, and are not created by the thoughts one has.[10] Rand stated that she chose the name because her preferred term for a philosophy based on the primacy of existence—&quot;existentialism&quot;—had already been taken.[11]

Rand characterized Objectivism as &quot;a philosophy for living on earth&quot;, based on reality, and intended as a method of defining human nature and the nature of the world in which we live.[9]]]></description>

&quot;&lt;b&gt;...... for continuing to expose the shanty behind the facade. Recruiting is indeed the rub.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

I say:
Hello Jim. You sure do have a nice way with words. The above sentence has a way of just rolling off the tongue. I have always admired the talent it takes to write in such a way that people can say these kinds of things in this way.

But I&#039;d like to tell everyone about an experience I had shortly after I first told the clunks in charge that I was no longer interested in returning for any more courses or anything else. I told them the whole thing really didn&#039;t make any sense to me and I wished them &quot;good luck and goodbye&quot;. I was so naive.

As most of you know, that was when the phone calls started. The first phone call I got was from some guy who I had met once or twice before while doing TR0 &quot;on course&quot;. He sounded extremely concerned for my future health and welfare. He said to me:

&quot;Oh Skyer, you may not realize this. But when you start in on these courses, it&#039;s like a brain surgeon has opened up your brain (actually your mind) and it would be extremely dangerous for you to just stop now. It would be like opening up a serious wound and never closing it again.&quot;

I thought about that for a sec and decided I wanted to tell him that had to be the most ridiculous load of shit I had ever heard and he could take his courses and his bullshit and he could just ram them straight up his ass. But then I realized that I had told these bastards all kinds of things about myself that would be extremely embarrassing should they ever come to light and so I agreed to return to the course the following day but I just never came back. 

The only lingering effect that could be considered harmful was that I carried the memory of this creep in my mind and forever after considered him and the whole rest of this awful cult to be complete A-Holes and I would never have anything more to do with them. Never again.

Whenever I think back to this incident, I contemplate that what he told me may have sounded like something unique for me. But I betcha that most everyone who ever made some negative noise was told the exact same thing.

What a bunch of lying, thieving &lt;b&gt;BASTARDS!!!&lt;/b&gt;]]></description>
