					<description><![CDATA[Here are some question I would submit in writing to Professional Postulate Maker Mr. Michael Chan:

Dear Mr. Chan, 
As the postulate expert in these here parts, I have some survey questions for you to answer if you don&#039;t mind as follows:
 
1) What are YOUR postulates for Scientology in general and Scientology orgs in  particular?   Please list them out.
2)  Would one of your OT postulates be for our  Org to go Ideal by _______(date)?
3)  If so, have you postulated this  yet?
4)  And if you have postulated us going Ideal - what&#039;s the problem?  We&#039;re far from Ideal yet.  And yet you postulated this, and you&#039;re here to teach US how to make our postulates &quot;stick&quot;.

5)  Any clue as to why YOUR  postulates  don&#039;t stick?

6) Any clue as to why, if you can&#039;t make your own postulates stick, you&#039;re here charging us to teach us something you don&#039;t yourself know how to do?

Please send me your responses and feel free to write up any wins and cognitions you may have had  by responding to  this informal survey, Mr. Chan.

Much love,
Aqua]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/thursday-funnies-271/#comment-449682&quot;&gt;Scott H&lt;/a&gt;.

Hey Scott,
When I was living in L.A. and taking courses at ASHO, I figured out pretty quickly that ANY scientology event would be A) too long and B) a money grab, and worked insane hours at my various jobs in order to avoid the events and stick to taking courses on Saturdays and Sundays, which I believed at the time to be the most efficient use of my time(ah, the cult kool-aid years...).
Later, as a staff member in DC, after working, mandatorily, at a few events, I purposely scheduled gigs and other kinds of work on the weekends so that I didn&#039;t have to work them anymore. If anyone pressured me to do so, I would remind him or her that my weekly staff pay barely covered my weekly cigarette-and-Starbucks-coffee habit...

I was in L.A. from 1999 to 2002 and the course rooms then were packed and the events were generally well-attended. L. Ron Hubbard Way was full of people and on course breaks there was a long line at the canteen.  When I moved to Washington, DC in 2002, the org was smaller and significantly less busy. When the &quot;Ideal Org&quot; opened there a few years later(2009) and the initial hoopla died down, the place was even quieter and more empty than the old org(which, in terms of foot traffic, was actually a MUCH better location). The whole &quot;ideal org&quot; scam pushed a lot of folks away...The focus on collecting money, as opposed to auditing and training people(and, yes that was a scam, too, but not to a Hubbard Kool Aid drinker), caused the more casual members to quietly drift off, and the more ardent champions of the dreck to venture off to Indie Land...
As others have done, I say, &quot; Very Well Done, Captain Knob&quot; for being an ignorant, bitch-slapping, slave-abusing, Macallan-swilling Gobshite who has causatively and thetanically fucked the cult into an accelerated decline !
Hip, hip, shit spray!]]></description>

scientology seems to have a logic UNTIL you understand the underlying LIES. Then it still has a recognizable &quot;logic&quot; to it, just not the one they would have you believe. Ya&#039; gotta go through a lot of alternate/obscure definitions of the words used to make it seem to make sense.]]></description>
