					<description><![CDATA[“How to remove effort from your life.” 

By receiving “services” in a vacant org and being made to pretend that you achieved results to people who exhibit such results no more than you do?

By receiving costly “repairs” to these wildly successful services or enduring repeats when demanded?

By worrying about the dwindling spiral and putting your eternity into the hands of merchants who can grant or deny it based on their own agenda?

By living under the burden of knowing that your family life and your circle of friends and businesses associates are contingent on your doing what’s expected and demanded of you?

By allowing yourself to be stalked and harassed by regges at any time and place?

By knowing that your deepest and darkest secrets are now written record?

By drowning in a sea of debt for your troubles?

Curious?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As pointed out already “kind and decent” are clearly not priorities or preferred practices in the cult. However, even the examples given are telling. So you practice “kindness” NOT for its own sake but because someone will brighten your day by thanking you profusely and repeatedly or because it brings you closer to making a sale? 

THAT is not what anyone would recognize as “kindness.” It’s simply a selfish and strategic interaction with others for what they can do for you. It’s all about their utility and not at all about their humanity. This is the “kindness” practiced commonly by malignant narcissists, sociopaths and con persons.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Genuine question: do these people pictured in these flyers wear those lapel pins all the time or are they worn only in the photos? Or are they supposed to be worn all the time and if not, someone gets sent to Ethics?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[They must be desperately recruiting staff for Chicago from all over, to try to meet the standard for opening their new &quot;ideal&quot; facility.  They&#039;re apparently casting about as far away as California, and the Columbus event maybe just a covert attempt at it as well -- hence the the Chicago phone number.

The Chicago building was apparently completed a year or two ago, It&#039;s strange that they&#039;ve been unable to &quot;open&quot; it by now; there must be some combination of ongoing organizational paralysis in the wake of the pandemic, along with problems getting enough people to come back and get involved again.]]></description>

And &quot;affrodable living&quot; at the SA AO?  Does that have to do with Frodo, or just inability to proofread?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I remember Dan York when he was on staff at CCNashville (briefly). He was a self promoter who used to say that he and his brother couldn&#039;t read Scientology-A History of Man because the Mormon church wouldn&#039;t allow it(not true). He quit staff and went into some small business ventures. Not sure if he&#039;s still there or not.
And speaking of Chicago Org, where are the Eddingtons? Where&#039;s Steve? Carole? Lane? Dan? Last I heard they were living in Nashville but Chicago Org is their home org so why aren&#039;t they up there promoting it?]]></description>
