If it does go through, which I doubt, they’d be better off promoting themselves as a coffee house with a church attached, since no one wants to buy anything they sell.

Chicago org has owned their building for eight years and all they have ever done to it is sweep some of the trash out on the first floor, put up brown paper over the windows to block views into the barren, unrehabbed, empty space and place a contact name and phone number in a window so the city inspectors have someone to call when they want to write another summons for the building’s condition.

Much laughter here! Gosh, how could I possibly have overlooked sharing the most important benefit of the Ideal Meal Program? The status, the case gain achievable to all my generous donors. Thank you, Mike 🙂

Hi OSD,No worries for you.A pair of magnificent aqua blue wings the shimmering color of Sea & Sky are on hold until you decide to be more than human.I could learn how to cloud surf if you’ll teach me.Always Ann.

Love it! Bad news for scn, good news for everybody else.

Hey Mike! I want to be super human magnificence! However, at my age, I guess I’ll settle for just being human…for now.

Hi Robin,Yes what you posted is so true.It took me years to recognize fun as just that fun!And oh my I know the heavy hand of Ethics literally & figuratively!I always look for your posts.XO Ann.

Hi alexdevalera,I liked your post.”Rotten at the Top” a keen observation.I knew that too in the end not in the beginning.It was some cognition when I finally figured the rotten part out!My Best Ann.

Thanks for the sweet compliment. Although I was never in the SO, I was on staff and know the hell of heavy ethics coming down for God-know-what. A good laugh between the oppressed, including me, was always a relief. But like you, it wasn’t until I got out (and even then it took years) that I allowed myself the freedom to have fun in all aspects of my life as much as I possibly can. When I was still in, I thought I was having fun most of the time. But reading these promo pieces and emails (thanks to Mike and Tony O) makes me realize how often my fun was interrupted by insane demands. It’s gotten more insane since I left. I really do feel for those who are caught up in it.

“Of you try to be an honest person you will be punished” of course! Listen don’t ever dare to look or you’ll be sec-checked and regged into oblivion. There is a party line and there is command intention and who ever crosses the line is fair gamed according to the importance of the threat. Mike Rinder was a 1st rate threat because he said basta ya enough is enough and walked out of the game every body loses at without signing a ton of legal papers and having a very thorough understanding of the mechanics of the meat grinder. Once upon a time there was Vicky Aznaran, ..robert Vaughn Young, …Jessie Prince, … Marty Rathbun they all woke up one day, but unlike most staff in class V orgs, they knew it was all rotten at the top!
Basta ya! Thank you for you excellent and lengthy comment.
