In the end, I think it&#039;s just as you say. There are now so many &quot;ideals&quot; that have become failures that he doesn&#039;t even bother to look back anymore. He only thinks about the next one to give the forced impression that everything is fine. 

Golden ages of various kinds, ideal morgues, he becoming the scn &quot;I&#039;ll clear the planet by myself&quot;  one-man show, etc., all failures, one after the other. In my opinion, people are now aware of it and no longer participate. Veda wrote that there were few hundred people, an embarrassing misery considering they&#039;re in the US.]]></description>

They are only &quot;holy days&quot; for a minority of people. For most, Christmas and Easter are &lt;i&gt;cultural&lt;/i&gt; festivities - not religious. I&#039;ve never understood why some folk have such beef with the CoS for hosting an Xmas feast or an Easter egg hunt. Christianity has no monopoly over these dates - or their significance - especially considering their origins.]]></description>

Hi 

Yeah, practically speaking light, and darkness, warm, and cold Weather, plus nature, became pagan holidays. The fact is that scandinavians, fx, are pagans, who use the church, for weddings, and funerals, just like scientology uses holidays, to connect Hubbard with wog worlds holy days. We all know that COS finds Jesus, fx, to be a joke.  Kind regards Kim]]></description>

I am a Christian and Easter for us has nothing to do with bunnies, eggs etc.. We just do that for the children to have fun. Easter is about the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is the truth of what we celebrate. Lots of love and many blessings. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

This was so very well said. It seems like now the &quot;Cult&quot; of Scientology is comprised of families that have been in for many years. The youth of Scientology are the up and coming generations. 
I completely agree with what you said about people who join now obviously have no idea what they&#039;re getting into.  If they did they would surely know to stay clear! I have some stories I wish I could share with you right now but, I would rather not do that publicly. I myself am a Christian and it is so hard for me to wrap my head around such an abusive, corrupt, and manipulative organization calling themselves a religion. Unbelievable. 
Anyways, I do pray that this cult goes down and I pray families can reunite and heal. 
Hope you have a blessed day Kim and all who are enjoying Mike&#039;s blog.]]></description>

&quot;... because DM is watching...&quot;

Yes, that&#039;s what I would have thought too. Watching how Chicago is doing would be the logical thing to do - for you and me.  But having read Mike&#039;s series on Sociopathy I now think that Miscavige doesn&#039;t give a hoot of what&#039;s happening next in this new morgue. His goal was to collect as many $&#039;s as possible, spend some of it on the purchase and renovation of the building and that&#039;s it. End of cycle. What&#039;s happening next is up to others. That they won&#039;t succeed does not bother him one bit. In his mind he&#039;s got other better and bigger things to do. Like when and how to fly to Paris and with who.]]></description>
