Well I don&#039;t know about the other states but they&#039;re definitely staying out of Wyoming and Idaho because of the slumbering (well okay, already yawning) Supervulcano there. They can&#039;t handle all that restimulation. Besides, what sense would it make to establish a pretty Idle Org there only to see it being blown straight up and vertical in 3, 2, 1...? I think COB&#039;s foresight is underestimated.

Ok, sorry, that probably wasn&#039;t all too witty. But it&#039;s my favorite apocalypse. If only...]]></description>

I agree that hosting a Mother&#039;s Day brunch at PAC is a little offensive and hypocritical.  Will the Sea Org members at PAC be able to eat with their mothers who show up for the brunch?  Can you imagine all the S.O. at PAC stopping to eat with their Moms?  The ones who are not Disconnected that is.  Let&#039;s see that happen.]]></description>

I think it&#039;s a &quot;White Party.&quot;  A hip thing to do these days.  White Party has several definitions in the Urban Dictionary.  Here&#039;s the top definition from the Urban Dictionary:

A party in which all participants wear white. I used to think that a white party was meant only for white people but i learned that the &quot;white&quot; means that only white apparel and clothes are to be worn.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rafferty Pendery (did I spell it right?) is not the only second, or third generation Scientologist to have his complete Bridge paid for by his parents or grandparents.  This is a growing trend and one I&#039;ve seen many times in L.A.  I know three young people auditing on OT VII, that have had all of their services paid for by their parents.  Not a good sign for the future of the church, in my opinion.  New people are not joining in sufficient numbers to support the church into the future and parents are paying for their kids services. I&#039;m not seeing these particular kids super motivated to go out there, work hard and earn money either.  Why should they have to struggle to pay for The Bridge when Mom and Dad will step in because it&#039;s so important to them that the whole family be Clear/OT?  But hey, whatever people do with their money is their own business and I really don&#039;t care.  It just doesn&#039;t bode well for the church.  Maybe that&#039;s a good thing.]]></description>

Joe you make an excellent point and well put. If we understand the SO member, fairly untrained, putting up with all the internal nuttiness, we cannot do so for trained Cses and administrators.

They know. They do understand, and to continue, they must forgoe integrity, and revert to some kind of robotic obedience.

Or as you say, their understanding of their basics and their lack of integrity.

If anyone in that structure could say &quot;no&quot; you would think it would be the CS.

Just say no. Then leave.

PS, I assume you are back home and not in Europe? (Based on previous comments of your interesting travels)]]></description>

And why would he do the cause resurgence three times in a NINE MONTH PERIOD? (and WHILE he was on all those other auditing actions?)  Makes no sense.

 Having been an org CS for eleven years, I guess the biggest shock to me about the Miscavige years is how stupendously bad and degraded the case supervisors have gotten in this time.  Their understanding of their basics and the lack of integrity they display has truly hit rock bottom. In an era of the CoS where KSW is quoted continously, those involved in the actual tech of auditing have pretty much betrayed all of the points in this policy as well as Tech Degrades, Safeguarding Technology and Hidden Data Line.  And Scientologists keep promoting their great wins on facebook.  Well, I guess if you&#039;re enjoying yourselves, knock yourseves out folks (because EVENTUALLY you will NOT be enjoying yourselves).]]></description>
