Foremost, thanks. 35 years later, same group of diehards – that’s got to be the story of a lot of the small and failing orgs.

The names on the regboard for Vancouver are ALL the same as those of 35 years ago.

The name “Pat Stojak” on the board is that of a convicted unregistered investment conman, but he made it to OT VII anyway. He’s the Reed Slatkin of Vancouver.

No new names.

Regfest In Seattle … the image where it says “…go Vancouver” … is in Seattle. The Vancouver Clan got conned to go there under the false pretense of a social meet-up, which is only the usual underhanded fare to get them regged.

Saves the reges some traveling expenses by getting them all in one place.

Good point Robert King. Yes, per the Verbal Tech Checklist and KSW, you aren’t supposed to be interpreting the writings of LRH, and yet nowadays they are all doing this with every speaker or seminar they host.

LOL!

Just I used to love (not) being mandated to dress up in my best cocktail attire for New Year’s Eve and the Birthday Event (out of “respect” for LRH) only to sit for 3 hours listening to a video and then stand on line to eat pasty lasagna and salad with throat-constricting vinaigrette dressing. Oh, and to top it off, there would always be those who showed up at the last minute in jeans (scruffy) and sneakers (beat up) AND THEY’D BE LET IN. So much for “respecting” LRH… These were the “I only wear jeans and never wear anything else” people. Well!

Yo Cult!
For the record, I had NO problem per se with ANYONE wearing jeans to an Int Event. That said, if you MUST stress the importance of proper dress and you MUST insist that ONLY black tie is sufficiently respectful to LRH: in brief, if your dress code is so almighty important, then how about enforcing it? Turn people away at the door if they’re not “respectfully” dressed! Or, more sanely, how about getting real, ditching the dress code and allowing ALL of us be comfortable while watching your endless, booming, boring thing and eating piles of poorly cooked pasta?
Much love,

I’m sure. For many members is a honor to be in promotional materials. Fools.

They are making it too easy for us SPs.
