					<description><![CDATA[It is stupendously ironic that after fighting hard from the start against public characterizations of Hubbard as a science fiction writer that one of the Church&#039;s main activities today is promoting Hubbard&#039;s science fiction. 

I&#039;m one of those who enjoyed Battlefield Earth as an entertaining read, though the movie sucked (my barometer on bad movies is when I fall asleep during them, and I did during Battlefield Earth). 

I also remember the tremendous cognitive dissonance I experienced when Battlefield Earth came out. On the one hand, the whole agonized future of the planet and every man, woman, and child on it depended on what we do here and now in Scientology. And there you had staff working horrendous hours with little or no pay at breakneck speed to respond to that urgent need, and cutting virtually everything non-Scientology out of their lives to be focused like a laser on that urgent goal. And on the other hand, there was Hubbard ... somehow setting aside his grueling work and awesome &quot;researches&quot; to take time to write volumes of science fiction!? Huh?!?]]></description>

Marie,  Your story made my day, week, year.  Yes, when a baby is born, we want our mom and dad right there with us.  You&#039;re right that that baby saved you from disconnection.  Thank God you went to the hospital anyway and ignored the disconnection thing.  Maybe blood really is thicker than water.  Enjoy your entire family!]]></description>

Welcome Dylan.  I would be willing to bet OSD cried.  Right?  I remember the birth of my first granddaughter like it was yesterday.  Her dad walked up to her and said &quot;hi, I&#039;m your daddy&quot; and her little hand closed around his finger.  It was just awesome.]]></description>

And THAT is an argument that a *old-school* Scientologists, staff and public... keep silently tucked away in the back of their minds ... Miscarriage *knows* that others know as well. It&#039;s a big circle jerk and group psychosis to perpetuate that lie, that the &quot;Ideal Orgs&quot; SCAM is working for the individual Scientologist by making the 3rd and 4th dynamic &quot;game&quot; more important than their own enhancement. It makes me sick to my stomach that these other determined people have the task of enforcing the same lies onto others that have bought themselves. It&#039;s a sad tragic picture of wasted lives and potential solely for the aggrandizement of one individual, David Miscavige.]]></description>
