					<description><![CDATA[From the recent FBI release, a letter sent to the St Petersburg Times in 2010. This may have been put on the SP Times website back then, and may not be something new, but I had not seen it before. It&#8217;s a doozie. It is a compilation of lies, nestled in the usual &#8220;other religions [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Someone sent me this recent Facebook post from Mace Kingsley. It highlights one of the more sinister aspects of scientology: the enormous amount of false &#8212; often harmful and sometimes dangerous &#8212; information Hubbard spewed forth about children. The above is just a sampling, and it&#8217;s pretty horrific. Children&#8217;s &#8220;overts&#8221; are the problem [&#8230;]]]></description>

She is so proud of the fact that she was the youngest fundraiser for the &#8220;ideal org&#8221; (something that changed absolutely nothing in Sydney or anywhere else). And she was a fundraiser for the IAS, upset that [&#8230;]]]></description>

As the old saying goes, even if you put lipstick on a pig, it&#8217;s still a pig.  Even if scientology pretends they are totally in compliance with societal norms and expectations (in fact, they exceed them and did [&#8230;]]]></description>

Mirit Hendrickson is a full-on scientologist known for her &#8220;VM videos&#8221; &#8212; donning a yellow t-shirt and heading out to look for photo-ops during hurricanes that she then posts all over social media to prove [&#8230;]]]></description>

Indoctrination into the Hubbard &#8220;study tech&#8221; which teaches you that if something he said doesn&#8217;t make sense, it is simply because there is a word or symbol you have not understood.

And thus it reflects the true attitude of scientology &#8212; not the carefully worded utterances that are put forth these days (scientology.org is the epitome of scientology [&#8230;]]]></description>
