					<description><![CDATA[&#160; The first blog post on mikerindersblog.org was on 5 November 2009. It&#8217;s been 10 years but it sure doesn&#8217;t seem that long! It&#8217;s been a lot of fun along the way. I have met many wonderful people here (and quite a number subsequently IRL which has been especially gratifying).  Hopefully I have opened a [&#8230;]]]></description>

Anybody who’s ever been affiliated with a religion has experienced cognitive dissonance in spades.

					<description><![CDATA[Terra Cognita is back with some more thought provoking words. &#160; Infinity and Beyond! Scientology isn’t surviving. It won’t survive. It can’t survive. For the time being, the only thing keeping it afloat is getting members to pay for the next this-is-gonna-change-everything, planet-busting project. Over the last few decades, the church has launched one after [&#8230;]]]></description>

According to founder, L. Ron Hubbard, all our problems since the Big Bang stem from our inability to confront. From the physical to the spiritual, seeing [&#8230;]]]></description>

Sadly, I imagine many readers here can relate to these observations.  I stopped writing regularly about Scientology after I’d said everything I thought I needed to say. I’d climbed out of the rabbit hole. Exorcised my demons. Laughed at the hypocrisy. And finally capped my [&#8230;]]]></description>
