The effort of Miscavige to normalize his shitty cult by co-mingling with the easiest targets in &quot;main-stream&quot; religion is child-like in its simpleton strategy.

Aw well, you have to give him an A for effort with his thick mind.  It must be tough for him to struggle through rational thought and logical conclusions.  It is cute really, watching Miscavige stumble from one boner to another.]]></description>

I&#039;ve never been into drugs and I&#039;m only an occasional drinker, but knowing what I know now, if I had to attend these events today I&#039;d be drunk or stoned, definitely. There&#039;s no way I&#039;d be able to sit thru one of these things again straight.]]></description>

Of course, Yawn. I&#039;ll write one up for you.  What are your crimes?  Quoting LRH policy?  Asking for the LRH reference before executing an order?  Or (gasp) REFUSING an order because you knew it was off policy?  Just let me know, Yawn.  The good, the bad and the ugly, and I&#039;ll write up an SP Declare for you which gives full credit to your awesome Suppressiveness.

Now, OSD, I&#039;m JEALOUS.  What about MY macrame frame?  Something made by your precious hands  - for Yawn?   Apparently there&#039;s someone else in your life is simply more suppressive than I am and its one of my BEST blog buddies!  A KNIFE in my heart!   And here, all along, I thought you loved me...and to think I had to find out this way...Oh, I could cry...]]></description>

WAYC, thanks for the &quot;ack&quot;!  I often don&#039;t get much response to these sorts of comments, not that I would necessarily expect to since I intentionally make them kind of dryly analytical and factual.  I hope that some people, maybe particularly lurkers new to the subject, will find something useful in them, so it&#039;s good to hear that my writing isn&#039;t going unread.

It actually find it an interesting exercise to look into some of the claims a bit more deeply, to parse their PR and particularly to learn to identify how they tend to lie by misdirection and omission.  I&#039;m also finding it useful to try to look into Hubbard&#039;s and Scientology&#039;s underlying philosophy (that, among other things, justifies deception and lying as fundamental approaches to the world, not just aberrations), and practice how to clearly explain my views on that - I hope eventually to put that to use in helping to dissuade some of the Christians and others who Scientology has so far managed to co-opt into treating them as normal, when they are in fact a cunningly deceptive group on a deviant path.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My Thursday Funny - got a card in the mail advertising the next Flag World Tour event and there 4 bullet points as reasons to attend.  The fourth one:

&quot;Food and refreshments before and after the event&quot;

Haha!  .... the food was always used as a &quot;draw&quot;, but now... we gotta promise food BEFORE as well?  Not just the regular dunkin donuts/safeway veggie tray at the end?]]></description>
