Hi Skyler,
Right back at you, my friend.  Yes, I&#039;m fine. Ridiculously healthy if you want the truth.  I&#039;ve always been lucky that way.  Amazingly unlucky in some other ways but quite lucky with my health.  Now insofar as God acting on our behalf to bring down the cult, well, I&#039;m out of my depth opining on that.  I guess it would depend on how one defines &quot;God&quot;.  What is God?  I don&#039;t know.  I believe there is God somehow, and I believe in justice, and that when there is great INjustice, it can go on for a long time, but then something - SOMEthing - occurs and the wrong is righted - just like that!  I&#039;m not saying I&#039;m right.  This is all STRICTLY my own woo.  But its real for me, that injustices, flagrant wrongs, man&#039;s inhumanities to man, etc., get &quot;righted&quot; somehow, in totally unexpected ways.  Is this God, is it Karma?  I don&#039;t know.  But as far as Miscavige going to jail, I don&#039;t think so.  You see, as crooked as he is, he&#039;s not doing anything illegal in the USA.  His punishment - well, I don&#039;t know what it will be or when it will be, but I do know that I wouldn&#039;t be him for anything, because when his punishment comes it will be - I don&#039;t have the work, actually, so I&#039;ll just say it will be very bad.]]></description>

Hello Aqua. Very nice to see you again. I hope you are in good health and spirits and will remain so throughout this thing.

Here is a thought exercise:

Imagine there really is a God. God would have been watching the happenings on this planet for the past 50 years or so. It&#039;s highly presumptuous to ask what people might think God is thinking or is feeling. But I don&#039;t think it is a terrible sin to wonder about that.

I would think that God (being careful to stay gender neutral) would have seen the tub come and gone. Then God would have seen the rat take over and during all that time, God would have been watching as many good people tried to right this evil wrong and failed because they were not suficiently evil to just snuff the rat.

Ultimately, I&#039;m guessing God just may have decided that enough is enough and come 2020, it was time for God to intervene directly and now we just may all see the power of God in action.

It&#039;s just a hope and a prayer. But here&#039;s hoping.

P.S. Should we get prepared to send the rat letters in the penitentiary?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If past incidents serve as a guide, Scientology is apparently  exempt from many of the laws that govern Clearwater. Most politicians are politicians first. Defending the common good is a distant second. Most elected officials do not want to upset anyone and are terrified of any possible litigation. Scientology will continue to flout the law and nothing will be done. Perhaps Mark Bunker can remind the mayor and city council of the laws they swear to uphold.]]></description>

DM&#039;s primary concern is profitability of the corporation. No doubt he has accountants who can do a cost benefit analysis to determine whether or not temporarily changing the living arrangements of the employees is profitable. He&#039;s been running the business at a profit for almost forty years so he&#039;s probably able to do the analysis himself.

He better act fast before a massive outbreak of Covid-19 in the Sea Org becomes a huge public relations flap.]]></description>

The biggest problem with any SO member getting ill, is that the infection will spread to other SO members and on and on.  And while no one will be taken to the hospital unless they are near death, they will swamp Mortan Plant Hospital down the street if the infection spreads throughout FLAG and more and more of their members get have to go to that hospital.  

I can only imagine what it&#039;s like to be a SO member and get the sniffles.  What to do?  Tell someone?  How dangerous would that be?  

Some ex SO member should tell what&#039;s it&#039;s like to end up in Isolation.  I&#039;d be curious because I got the sense that it&#039;s a fate worse than death.]]></description>
