To say anything else would be a lie? 🙂 Thanks.

“All my life I have wanted to be an ethical being, nothing more.”

Lawrence, if it took dianetics and scientology to achieve your sole goal of being an ethical person then congratulations on utilizing the means at hand on achieving it. I have wanted other things for myself than just being ethical. Things that are a little more difficult in my opinion: a forgiving and compassionate nature for instance. That’s just me. I have achieved some of that with the help of many things like having good parents, the extraordinary people I’ve met who influenced me by their example but first and foremost, by having my intrinsic human nature which makes me, like everybody else, discontent with anything less than full and complete peace of mind. That could also be called “a clear conscience”. I can honestly say I gained next to nothing from scientology and dianetics and I don’t consider the largely false information advanced under those labels to be a “technology”, and certainly not one that needs to be preserved for future generations. Again, that’s just me, and again, congratulations on achieving your goal in life.

Do you remember a novel by Harper Lee called “To Kill A Mockingbird”.?

Here is a piece of the book: “The summer that had begun so long ago had ended, and another summer had taken its place. And a fall. And Boo Radley had come out. I was to think of these days many times, of Jem and Dill… and Boo Radley and Tom Robinson”.

The Church of Scientology may die but a new one will take its place, of more honest, experienced, seasoned individuals.

One thing I have never ever desired is to CASH IN on my misfortunes within the Church of Scientology. I don’t write books about it. I don’t give interviews about it, not even on You Tube. As knowledgeable as I am of these things. To do so is to give a bad name to Dianetics and Scientology, the tech. This is why some people are declared and others are not. Just because I am not declared does not mean that I can’t learn something as well from these experiences.

What did you do ASIDE from talking about the crimes of the Church of Scientology today to insure that this technology will be available to your children’s children and mine as well? Having superb TR’s is just not enough alone. Thank you LRH. And thank you CST for making sure this tech will always be here on Earth at least for other people less fortunate than ourselves to one day themselves stumble upon and come to learn the miracle of.

All my life I have wanted to be an ethical being, nothing more. Dianetics and Scientology helped me to not only achieve this but learn to maintain it as well. The Church of Scientology did not help me do this. The tech the church makes believe it offers people aided me in this task. So who do I thank other than myself? Who would you thank? What would you have done in a situation similar to mine?

Not giving credit where credit is due is practically an overt these days! 🙂

Hi Aquamarine, I think your post is very important. I am very fortunate to not have to worry about what will happen to me when I get really elderly. However my heart breaks for those SO members still in over 60, Where and what will be their circumstances? I love your posts from the beginning. You are real and that resonates with me. Love, Ann.

I sold it. It was 15 years old and I wanted to get something newer. One of my best friends has it now.

The IRS is dying to show Miscavige what REAL “Auditing” feels like!

Should the plug ever be pulled by the IRS, it would be interesting if the penalties were applied from the very first time they refused to pay a refund. That would bankrupt them instantly. Freeze the accounts and the attorneys quit. Heh heh heh!

What I feel is missing in all this discussion is the names of individuals. The “IRS” is pretty meaningless. A gigantic “Bureau”, faceless to any of us. Who made the decisions? Who is (not) making them now? Which members of Congress have been approached and failed to respond? Pointing fingers at “the IRS” is an indictment of vapor. And why, why, why as their decision immediately made secret?

On the topic of time not being friendly, I am reminded of a conversation that Tony Manero (John Travolta) has with his boss at the hardware store in “Saturday Night Fever.” It’s a Friday, and Tony is asking for an advance on his paycheck. Boss says, no, he can’t have it. He pays his people on Monday so they’ll have money all week, and perhaps they can put something away for the future. Tony says, “fuck the future.” Boss says, “you don’t fuck the future; the future fucks you.”
