					<description><![CDATA[I spent 40 years going up the Bridge to Total Freedom and made it to Oat Tea Ate.

&quot;I can hear my shoe laces&quot;.

That surely was worth giving up my kids, my husband/wife, my career, all of my money - every last dime, my home (lost it to foreclosure) and got to experience food stamps due to bankruptcy from donating money to Scientology and all of the faux front groups faking help.

Thanks Ron!]]></description>

Question Scribe. If a cult member were to have a DNA test, like the kind to find out about your ancestors, would they expect to find theirs going back hundreds of thousands of years along with some unknown mystery dna?]]></description>

Yes, Dan Austin was in Atlanta. That is the same Dan Austin. He got caught propositioning what he thought was a minor for sex on the internet. Moved to Florida, went swimming and didn&#039;t make it back.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That &quot;Puerto Rico&quot; mural IS  kinda nice, but it IS a shame that the photoshopper/shooper didn&#039;t notice he&#039;d reversed it. That&#039;s what proofreading is for, guys.  USE it to your advantage.

AND I net Dwarfenführer didn&#039;t even notice it in his whiskey-blurred condition.

SORRY, shoopper! didn&#039;t INTEND to get you on DM&#039;s shit list, but that&#039;s what you get for working for  a psychopath.  Time for you to stop supporting his evil empire….  
RUN! 
NOW!

					<description><![CDATA[The last &#039;forced&#039; job jump landed me in a place that gave us 5 weeks of vacation/sick/&quot;choice&quot; time and managers who WANTED us to take ALL the time off each year so we were all less &quot;edgy&quot;.  SOME of my co-workers had problems with that much &quot;free time&quot;. *I* found a way to cope with it, somehow.   I even took 3 weeks ONCE and sailed with my wife to nowhere in particular and we did nothing in particular while we weren&#039;t really anyplace to speak of. Some of my co-workers were SO jealous. In a good way.
&#039;Twas a mellow place to work for, mostly. Even though these were computers and their related programs  and stuff *OFTEN* &quot;hit the fan&quot;, our being less stressed, more mellow, kept tempers damped, and we worked more sanely than most similar companies. Part of scn&#039;s insanity was that everyone was so RUSHED, always rushing, rushing to do the next thing, not stopping to ask if those next things WERE the right things to do, not stepping back and arranging the workflow so it didn&#039;t take so many steps/actions; eliminating the non-essential, counter-productive steps. Of COURSE we couldn&#039;t do THAT! That&#039;s against POLICY, Don&#039;cha know? 
I DID get away with changing my Hat by discussing it with my Senior and both of us looking for policies I might have violated. The result was the first time in history that Flag&#039;s CF was in complete PT. AFAICT, once I was kicked out of Flag, CF immediately started falling out of PT despite a few more people being assigned to filing. All from letting &quot;reformers&quot; re-interpret policy and giving CF other  things to do.

But WHY am I donating valuable advice to that criminal organization?
Habit, I suppose.  
For the years since Flag kicked me to the curb, I was paid fairly well  as a problem solver. Often, I needed to come up with several disparate solutions before one would get chosen as acceptable to management and the other programmers/analysts.  Describe any any problem to me  and my SUB-conscience will work on finding  solutions even if *I* go do something else.  
I can&#039;t help it, it&#039;s a SICKNESS.
AND, I guess I DO still kinda hope that the real scientology, a real, WORKING system, might somehow rise from the ashes of Miscavige&#039;s destruction. Ever the dreamer, I suppose.]]></description>

&quot;Poor Steven Eickhoff Sr. cant find a home based business to run- why doesn’t he get out and do an actual “wog” job? I guess scientologists aren’t trained for anything but Amway. Iv’e never seen so many people in one group that insist on working from home! Whats up with that?&quot;

Scns are SURE that any &#039;wog&#039; is secretly out to get them; SP or PTS, so can&#039;t work for/with them.  In my experience, the insanity is lower in the real world  due to labor laws no scientologist company would stand for, AND there being similar jobs paying better just &quot;down the street&quot; limiting just how much S**t an employer can dish out before employees leave. I had 2 insane bosses, neither as bad as Flag was, and I could claim unemployment benefits when they discovered I could take more than they could dish out and fired me for no discernible reason. Being fired was a benefit as it &quot;forced&quot; me to get jobs paying better with better benefits and less insanity during work.]]></description>
