And this is quite an interesting thing. See, this is terribly interesting. Anybody who says he [&#8230;]]]></description>

Ron had really hopped on the crazy train the day he wrote this &#8212; it&#8217;s so out-there that it doesn&#8217;t even appear in the current Tech Volumes. There is little wonder why &#8212; it makes clear [&#8230;]]]></description>

Celebrating Easter is even more hypocritical than celebrating Christmas &#8212; which almost transcends a religious holiday in most Western countries. But Easter, like Passover is truly a religious day, there is no federal holiday designated for these occasions in the US. This is [&#8230;]]]></description>

The idea that you can be a scientologist and a Christian is a lie, yet scientologists claim this all the time to try to appear &#8220;normal&#8221; or &#8220;non-threatening.&#8221; You can see from the official IRS publication above listing the criteria the IRS uses to determine [&#8230;]]]></description>
