In the second picture, the child can&#039;t be older than 6. They are doing the purif on small children? The parents AND Scientology should be charged with child abuse, child endangerment, assault on a minor younger than 12, and whatever else law enforcement can think of.]]></description>

For what it&#039;s worth, I was on the Flag Internship with Julius in the 1980s. He was on staff at one of the New York orgs. Every once in a while he would do a minor singing performance. He and I were friends for a while. I don&#039;t know how long he stayed on staff, or if he still is on staff. He never was a celebrity, he was just someone who was also a good singer and he would perform for other Scientologists under various circumstances.]]></description>

I think this Sandy Rose person re-joining staff speaks volumes of the true state of Scientology. They are an extremely desperate organisation to stoop low enough to be dredging up past retirement age, prior staff members, recruiting them and then splattering their images in major promotion fliers. The uplines intention creating this scenario is as ruthless as it is inhumane. Her recruitment however, bought a small but fleeting amount of pressure relief for Austin&#039;s staff.
It could be easily suggested she is cannon fodder used as evidence for nefarious legal requirements to justify bodies in the shop for &quot;expansion&quot; purposes and she&#039;s just a statistic to help maintain tax exempt status. 
We&#039;ll all know what the Church will do with her when her body problems due to age deteriorate  and she can no longer function properly. Scientology does not tolerate body conditions getting in the way of so called production. She simply disappear under the bus like the countless others who got too old and sick to keep up with the insanity. With luck she has family or relatives who&#039;ll pick her up from the gutter.
On the other hand, Sandy has past experience as a Scientology executive. If she signed a  contract again she herself is more than likely desperate for someone to talk to her and relive her past &quot;glory days,&quot; where she had power over people. I&#039;ve served under enough exec&#039;s to know not to feel sympathy for her now she&#039;s stupid enough to join them again after her previous Org fell to pieces under her feet or they simply off loaded her. You can probably easily speculate why and imagine the relief Seattle staff must have experienced when she finally left. 
Her 5 minutes of being the center of attention will cost her dearly, but that&#039;s Scientology for you and the people they associate with or attract. There&#039;s no easy term for it - Scientology fucks people up!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Julius Dilligard Jr? If it&#039;s the same Julius Dilligard Jr I found on Discogs - 

https://www.discogs.com/artist/1077533-Julius-Dilligard-Jr

He&#039;s done bugger all since 1974, except for writing, arranging and producing a 12&quot; single in 1999. Since then he&#039;s become just another of the long long line of utter nobodies outside of $camology. 

It appears he was just a minor member for the group Crown Heights Affair on their first album and then resigned not long after. He doesn&#039;t even rate a hyperlink in the biography.

https://www.allmusic.com/artist/crown-heights-affair-mn0000782262/biography. 

I do rather enjoy digging to find information about any of the &quot;super stars and world famous&quot; non-entities that $camology seems to have orgasms about.

As for the rest of the yawn inspiring...yyaawwnn...zzz...cough...zzz...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: &quot;Want to help Ron? You do know he died nearly 30 years ago right?&quot;

L. Ron Hubbard croaked in 1986. That&#039;s more like nearly 40 years ago, isn&#039;t it?

(Math, incidentally, was never my strong point. Cheating got me through 8th grade math, and a tutor guided me through the second time I failed 9th grade&#039;s Algebra. I quit entirely when I failed the following year&#039;s Geometry.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/thursday-funnies-334/#comment-524391&quot;&gt;Miss Dutch&lt;/a&gt;.

Miss Dutch, Columbus was staffed with a lot of Sea Org when it went &quot;ideal&quot;, and many have stayed there attempting all sorts of outreach.  Katherine Olson said she went out to college campuses trying to sell books - something Scientology used to do back when campuses were counter-culture hot spots and thus productive venues for recruiting, but which was mostly given up on as times changed.

I don&#039;t remember the exact numbers Katherine gave, but there were close to 100 sea org in Columbus (about as many as there were &quot;public&quot; members) when there had originally been only about a dozen staff.  And unlike the typical situation where an org is staffed up when it moves into its &quot;ideal&quot; building and then crashes back down to more or less its original size within a year or two as regular short-term contracts run out or people just &quot;blow&quot; when they find out there is no pay, the sea org were mostly left in Columbus.  

The org in your area, as well as in Kansas City which went &quot;ideal&quot; around the same time, seem to have been experiments in trying to make orgs actually &quot;expand&quot; when they go &quot;ideal.&quot;  So it still probably has an unusually large number of people engaged in promotional activities.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: Starting the Cocoon Squad in Austin now

Poor Sandy Rose looks like she should be preparing for, or enjoying, her retirement. Having family around her in Austin won&#039;t necessarily help the dear woman along, especially if scientology starts picking off her family members with forced Disconnection and Suppressive Person declares.

Run, Sandy, run!]]></description>
