					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Dan Sherman conjured up a verbal orgasm of gushing babble to hype the sheeple at the scientology New Year&#8217;s Celebration. No need to attend the event, you can read all about it at scientology.org in 10 minutes and spare yourself the pain of  &#8220;Standing O&#8221; calisthenics every time Dear Leader actually completes a run-on [&#8230;]]]></description>

Perhaps the Pythons will have something to say about this? &#160; Well, not sure about best&#8230; But certainly poorest. &#160; How sad&#8230; His life was a mess.

					<description><![CDATA[Tony Ortega recently posted an article Has Scientology&#8217;s leader David Miscavige gone underground in the face of a legal onslaught? It prompted a few thoughts. I have long said that I thought Miscavige&#8217;s inevitable trajectory would be to follow in the footsteps of Hubbard. Despite all the ONE thing he must continue to do is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Since Miscavige announced the &#8220;Golden Age of Tech&#8221; way back in 1997 (?) it seems that scientology has been in anything BUT a golden age. While they have purchased plenty of buildings, the number of orgs and missions has DECREASED in this time. The number of active scientologists continues to plummet. The amount of [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The OT VIII success stories circulated by the Freewinds are really lame. No wonder it&#8217;s a ghost ship. Two of them were sent to me recently. And they are notable for what they DON&#8217;T say. They repeat, mantra-like, that OT VIII is &#8220;the first actual OT level&#8221; (funny, all those other ones used to be &#8220;actual&#8221; OT levels too) and [&#8230;]]]></description>

But then again, there are a lot of &#8220;success&#8221; stories about every scientology service (Student Hat, Purif, Objectives, Grades, Dianetics, PTS RD, Word Clearing and on and on ad nauseum) where the person proclaims it [&#8230;]]]></description>

But it would seem even the most enlightened beings at the top of the bridge aren&#8217;t able to perceive even the most obvious of them.

Could not do that these days, as there is no Briefing Course. Of course, like most [&#8230;]]]></description>
