I remember him at Int.  He was very patient and kind with me personally.  I thought he was a nice person.

Billy&#039;s decency and qualities are exactly how Sea Org and Scientology are kept going.

Scientology goes on due to the decency and skill of the staffs, and not from the merit of Hubbard&#039;s crackpot ideas and the downsides to the Hubbard prejudices and draconian abusive rules that ruin the members&#039; lives.  

Some people lodge themselves, perch themselves, balanced, just &quot;right&quot;, and help hold the fort in Scientology land, despite the baked in abusive rules and ludicrous quackery being sold by the whole Scientology scam.

Scientology &quot;works&quot; on the backs of decent very capable dupes who can&#039;t see Scientology&#039;s quackery and abusive control system outweigh any merit Scientology has.

-------------------------

This is probably true of all abusive groups in human history.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Watched the Michael Chan video and all I got out of it was that the Chan Man(oops! Not supposed to call him that!) has a lisp. I mean, the dude talks like a mama&#039;s boy! No kidding! And he&#039;s supposed to be inspiring people?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[ANZO is a f***ing joke. Adelaide is particularly laughable. That outfit couldn’t pay their rent for months and months, and CLO started bailing them out. Brisbane, the city, is an important population centre in Australia, but the org was always Hicksville and underperforming. Perth got away with low stats by being conveniently far away from CLO. Sydney boomed for a while, because of the line into Taiwan. They weren’t servicing New South Wales. Melbourne unfortunately lost their ban on Scientology in the ‘60s.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: How viable are scientology missions?

It&#039;s inexcusable for Rusty Florentz Hodgkin, Admin, of Scientologists: Entrepreneurial and Business Networking, to submit an ICSW ( incomplete Completed Staff Work).

How do we know that the $3,000.00 will be used to ship books to the Scientology Mission of Batumi, Georgia?

What&#039;s the name of the freight company?

Where are your three price quotes?

Did you submit a Purchase Order to the Financial Planning Committee for this? It sounds like you&#039;ll need to submit an Estimated Purchase Order; once approved, you can submit Purchase Orders off the approved Estimated Purchase Order.

Or would you rather submit a Rush Purchase Order midweek and incur the usual 125%?

Scientology does not make it easy for Scientologists to waste money. Hubbard wrote that some people think that an Org is nothing more than something to bleed.

How do we know that you won&#039;t be buying donuts and coffee (or...?) with that $3,000.00?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Has it been mentioned that this cache of Battlefield Earth 1st edition might have been a bulk purchase to jack up the NYT bestseller list standing of that first edition?

I&#039;ll bet that&#039;s just a huge buy done at the release of Battlefield Earth, and now whoever the buyer(s) of the big trove was, is now doing a late in the game sell off.

Stat pushing blast from the past, leftovers for resale.]]></description>
