Windhorse,  to add to your post about LD, his ex who joined the SO has been an IAS reg there for a long long time.  She knows how to suck the money right out of you.  I think her name is Michelle in the IAS.  He has been on OT VII an all money is gone and he now tries to make money by renting rooms out in his house, an by selling gadgets on his web site and advertises to get ghost writing jobs.   Another casualty of the C of $.  He is about as Kool Aide as they come.]]></description>

This is very true, Doug Parent. When I read this quote from LRH I thought, &quot;But what is the group?&quot; Now the group activities and ideals are what Miscavige says they are. And this flyer was used to promote donations to the Ideal Orgs which are not what LRH described in his policy on ideal orgs. That flyer on the Christmas Bazaar too -- LRH said to solve it with Scientology. What a novel idea for a supposed church of Scientology.]]></description>

Excellent summation, Doug!  The church doesn&#039;t know who it is.  It is Confusion or lower if there is one lower.  And now society is putting ethics in on the very group who says they are putting ethics in on the planet.  How ironic is that?]]></description>

Back in the day in Brooklyn, I knew men who made sure their children went to church (Catholic) every Sunday; participated in Holy Communion and Confirmation when they were old enough, and took time out from their workaday world to go to an old friend&#039;s funeral. They also sold stolen goods out of the trunk of their cars, ran book and used their fists to &quot;enforce&quot; their own sense of group ethics.

Everyone has a belief system. Everyone can find some good in something and if they do, will hold onto it, sometimes long after the &quot;goodness&quot; has actually faded.

People&#039;s wins are personal and reflect where they are at, at that moment in time. They are neither good, bad or silly, they just are. 

And yet .... I despise made up wins and feel that they are deceptive and do damage to the poor soul who feels compelled to deceive others and themselves.  

What category these fall under, I don&#039;t know. I&#039;d rather err on letting them have their win, their moment of reflection. Even when insincere, they may yet nudge them to their senses.

RB -- not so much an &quot;opening&quot; as a large theta-sucking hole. Best to whistle and walk briskly past.

Ah, Jenny, as articulate as ever. Good to see, after all your years as a sycophant, you have not lost your skill at mindless repetition. Good on you.
