“Their “successful action” is apparently to hold “potluck dinners” …

… they proclaim how excited they are to have a VIRTUAL potluck dinner where people share pictures of what they are eating.

Down to crazy solutions now to get stats up and traffic in. When you see Scientologists have rubber ball juggling events along the interstate, know it’s just about game over …

You make a good point in calling it business operations. Since when has it been right to turn the craft of spiritual enlightenment into a for-profit business? It is not, and I am glad that Leah and Mike brought it up on this week’s podcast. It shouldn’t be a for-profit business. It is sad that when I was in the org, they never turned on the HVAC yet were extracting hundreds of thousands of dollars to send up the chains. Like you said, the management pressure to make it goes right ends up with unpaid bills or HVAC and other utilities being shut off (or moving into residential buildings to keep costs down).

Regardless, why are these religious buildings being run as a for-profit business? Why did they get the PPP loans for a few Church affiliated entities? Volunteers are not paying their living expenses from this work. Sea Org get paid a fixed puny amount of peanuts. It comes down to poor management, promoting the least able beings, and favoritism / meritless promotions (most likely). I could go on and on. (I actually agree with the meritless promotions, as jobs shouldn’t be a reward for good behavior as it implies the bulk of employees perform poorly and also introduces subjective bias, but that is a philosophy debate for another day)

LOL, Peggy L!

Thanks. And all good to you as well.

Dear Alcoboy. Peace and blessing to you my friend.
I was just laughing loud when I saw your email. Too much.
I posted something similar also yesterday.
I personally believe DM is starting to be surrounded of many situations that are stuck. Orgs closed, no events, people waking up, Masterson hot potato, and now this damn podcast with these 2 guys well determined to reach a goal.
While he can just reaches the next bottle.
Do well!

Skyler. Okay. Italy is here. Let hope this pandemic disappears. My daughter’s father in law is a real chef that knows how to cook fishes from tradition and he make a pasta with part of fishes that you get addicted. A unique taste.
Hope this can happen. Imagine good wine, toasts and laughs.
Do well.

Ballet Lady. You really made me laugh. Okay but a spoon can be very helpful to help rolling spaghetti with a fork. In Italy many does it. It is publicly approved!

Briget. Sure he will. Otherwise someone will do it for the others.
