Anyone is free to use their own pens. There are plenty of pens floating around orgs also. It’s not like you actually have to submit a request every time you need a pen, but if you were to submit such a request, it wouldn’t be a CSW. But thank you for helping me to point out the absurdity of the implication that a CSW is needed every time someone needs a pen.

Imagine the absolute horrors of keeping a box of pens in the office, so you can grab one or two when needed…

Unfortunately Geoffrey Lewis passed away in 2015. Another talented actor sucked into the deceit of scientology, and his poor daughter and talented actress and musician Juliet is also a member.

As much as I like some of these people, I can never support their projects while they are members of such a loathsome and despicable organization. If they ever wake up and abandon scientology, I would be their biggest advocate and champion. But for as long as they are still “in”, they are presenting themselves as advocates of a violator of human rights. How could anyone justify supporting them?

I suppose I forgot to clarify something here. I’m always trying to explain how I see how an army looks after its own personal administration and well being of it’s troops, it does have administrative guidelines and internal policy for such things, whether they are followed or not is another thing entirely. Those in charge at the upper levels are indeed capable of changing or influencing everything, often for the worse. I got out the system because my conscience got the better of me. I no longer believed I was really defending anything but was enforcing destructive political/business type agendas. But, if my country was ever threatened, I’d pick up a weapon and say “yes sir” again in an instant.

While I’m okay with fair criticisms of Scientology policy, it irks me when false data is spread around like this. This is why we get Marty Rathbuns popping up to be perfectly honest.

Thetaclear: Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. Long weekend!

Anyway, connecting with you would be great. Ask Mike for my email address.

I wish you all the best on your boycott. By the way, can you organize something against Geoffrey Lewis as well? Another CCInt trained actor whose main credits are playing bad guys in a lot of cheesy 70s cop shows.

Yuck! When you can’t get commonsense applied by those who control something, anything is likely to happen, just like Scientology developed. Don’t you just hate it when vindictiveness and prejudice rears its ugly head at the top of the totem pole!
