Maybe even better would be &quot;Who&#039;s Overt is it Anyway?&quot;

Where they read an overt out of random, but well known parishioner&#039;s folders.  The overt is read to the audience, to many guffaws and snorts, or perhaps even gasps!!

Then hundreds of thousands or millions that have ever done some sort of confessional somewhere in some religion where they do that, have a brain puckering moment. 

We gotta clean this place up.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How the statement “the fastest growing and most acclaimed religious television network&quot; could actually be true: 

If they went from 17 viewers to 170 viewers in one year, that&#039;s a 1,000% growth rate, which almost certainly would eclipse any other religious broadcaster currently on the air.  But of course, that&#039;s not exactly a ringing endorsement of their success.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[CoS claims Scientology TV is &quot;the fastest growing and most acclaimed religious television network.”  I would bet that that distinction belongs to the Christian network called &quot;Great American Family&quot;.  

In 2023 their viewership increased by 76%, one of the biggest jumps in the entire TV industry.  Here are a couple links about that network.

					<description><![CDATA[So, 17 languages covering 240 nations means viewer numbers have increased by a few dozen is great news. Keep up the good and one day you may even get to say that viewer numbers have increased to 300 or even, gasp, 400. Little Demento will be so excited that he&#039;ll have to wear his plastic raincoat with the strategically cut holes in the pockets while he&#039;s wandering around.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;3 new documentaries from non-scientologist filmmakers wanting an outlet for their shows that they could not get anyone else to pick up.&quot;

While it&#039;s true in some cases, it&#039;s not always the filmmakers choice.

					<description><![CDATA[I kind of wonder how Hubbard would have handled things today.

But he missed so many of his other major Scientology empire flaws, although being the &quot;founder&quot; boss, he could just rip up things he wished ripped up.   

I wonder what the learning curve is on such people like Hubbard, which although he did rip up some of his old rules, he left in place some draconian bad regulations that traumatize  all concerned to this day.

Life isn&#039;t long enough to have society fix nutters in their midst like the Hubbard nutter.  

If he had more time to see things were NOT being grandly solved by his quackery pseudo-therapy/exorcism-soul-freeing techniques, I wonder if he would have changed things more of his empire.  

The KSW Hubbard policy writing is like a cult guru&#039;s service fac (unreasonable unfixable self-righteousness).

I wonder if life for cult gurus was longer, would they admit failure and eat crow about it all.  

I&#039;d read a book which is a compendium of all the final thoughts of the world&#039;s history of gurus and saviors.   Just their final honest self assessments, summarized, that&#039;d be a useful book I&#039;d liked to have read before joining any non-traditional mystical like group.
