Thanks, I appreciate your comment. There&#039;s more to be aware of with these religious organisations than I ever first realised. As an ex Scientologist putting up with and then overcoming the mental conditioning of Scientology which helped a lot in integrating back into the real world has been educational in another way. It&#039;s interesting to see the same type of patterns of entrapment are employed elsewhere.
Mike Rinder&#039;s site has evolved over the years and for the most part imo  defused many aspects of religious and cult like brainwashing techniques. Ortega&#039;s site has done wonders too with his many intelligent contributors in debunking not only Scientology but a whole range of fundamentals common with such organisations. 
I too have learnt a lot more than I ever expected. 
I&#039;ve concluded the cult like aspect of many &quot;faith based&quot; organisations evolves along with the popularity and wealth they accumulate. Developing power over people and what they think and will do, does present the distinct possibility that certain cult like consequences for the unwary or duped will develop in due course.
Lest we forget. 
The line Lest we forget, taken from Kipling&#039;s poem &quot;Recessional&quot; (which incidentally has nothing to do with remembering the fallen in war) is relevant here imo,  here&#039;s an interesting stanza of that poem:

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
  Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
  Or lesser breeds without the Law—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Emily Dickinson’s turning in her grave
Poetry just can’t save 
Its place in the arts when a moronic knave
Pens a “poem” calling the EUS brave.

How will it affect poetry’s future?
It will need a large stitch and suture.
Poems would rather go away
Than help the clams pay and pay.

The EUS Eagles poem is actually a hoot, espcially the part about the party store glares.]]></description>

I think it&#039;s a bit the other way. Like, Disney exec&#039;s are more likely to think they&#039;ll always have a few cockroaches about the place, you can never get rid of them all. Scientology&#039;s use of their material in such a manner is more than likely ignored in the hope they&#039;ll go away. Fooling around with them and stirring up Scientology legally regarding copyright infringement, unless it gets really bad isn&#039;t worth dealing with the stench of Scientology in court. Disney doesn&#039;t have to be THAT right! They know their PR and their products are well loved and in today&#039;s media driven world, Scientology is poison.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ripping on Orlando a bit......

I knew the org to be a tiny 3 room office affair sandwiched between other sad little no-hope dumps.  Three part time staff and one other student in the Div 4/6 course room - a hapless new STCC struggler.  

Never was an org less in need of a big shiny new building with talking screens.

Can you imagine?  Poor Clearwater Scios coming to their senses:

&quot;honey, we&#039;&#039;re moving the office location to Orlando, it&#039;ll be good for business, a hundred miles from Flag and we&#039;ll have an &quot;acceptable&quot; excuse to not attend Flag money sucking events&quot;

Three months later the flyers and calls drown them:

&quot;YOU!  The OTs in Orlando Org Field!  YES, it&#039;s ON YOU to make this happen and get Orlando Ideal!  Report in for your OT Committee Posting assignment!  Your stats are due Thursday by 2 and we expect YOU to recruit other OTs in the field to make this happen! Love, Flag MAA&quot;]]></description>
