Some of them have passed away and some of them have left and then there are those  Still Ins who still manage to get physically ill and incapacitated despite their amazing OT Cause Over Mest abilities gained.  One of them I know had a quadruple bypass a few years ago - was this &quot;causitive&quot; on his part?  Was he just sitting around being causitive on all dynamics but maybe a little bored, not enough game going on for him, etc. so he decided, &quot;Hey, let me give myself a huge body problem&quot;...?  

Yeah, righ!

And Kirstie Allie, did she postulate her own colon cancer?  Did Kelly Preston herself decide to &quot;drop her body&quot; right after giving birth to a handsome new baby boy?  

But I&#039;ve gone off topic into a side rant, sorry.  It just burns me up the way the cult explains away Lisa Marie Presley&#039;s fatal illness and untimely death with, &quot;Well, she went off the Bridge, and  had huge overts against Scientology&quot; while at the same time when an OT7 or 8  cult member in good standing gets fatally ill and/or keels over prematurely there is no comment whatsoever from the cult  on the deceased&#039;s Bridge progress or lack of it.

But can&#039;t wait for this 10K target to get reached so that COB can immediately hit the Sheeple with a new 10K target.  It will be fun to hear how he dances his little side step to finesse this with the Sheeple. How they will inwardly groan and protest.  I almost feel sorry for them.  Almost.]]></description>

We&#039;ll be generous and accept that some of the 10,000 have passed away since 1984, or otherwise no longer practice OT entheta to theta conversions. They still need to double their number!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Way back when when &quot;we&quot; went to Canberra for the Henry Tax Inquiry in the Oz Senate, the kult sent a bunch of &quot;OTs&quot; down there to be in the room with us and do whatever they could etc. etc. - which amounted to sitting behind exes who would be witnesses and kicking their chair legs or glowing at us with &quot;Tone 40&quot; or making comments etc - all very adult stuff.

But the thing that stood out most to the staff at Parliament House (and which had lots of pollies&#039; staff pop out to have a look) was the &quot;op shop chic&quot; that the assembled OTs and SO members in mufti sported. It WAS the topic of conversation around the place that day.

What bought back those memories this morning was looking at the on OT VII crowd who obviously can&#039;t afford the Demented Maggot dress of expensive suits, silk ties, etc. 

The poverty level of the Most Ethical Group on the Planet obviously (and sadly) hasn&#039;t changed in the last 15 years, except to get worse. Yet they still can&#039;t see it.

					<description><![CDATA[Ok, I want to explore this premise by writing it out.

As I understand, or rather, as Hubbard stated nearly 40 years ago, 10 thousand Scientologists having completed OTVII would generate sufficient theta power to cancel out pretty much all of  the  entheta being generated by the rest of the poplulation of Earth. 

 Google informs me that  in 1984 Earth&#039;s total population  was 4.767 billion people so that means that according to Hubbard&#039;s calculations, 1 OT7 had enough theta horsepower to convert the entheta of 476,700 people into theta.  Great!

Except that today the population of Earth today is 8,107,131 billion.

  Very soon Earth&#039;s population will be twice what it was 40 years ago.

In turn, this begs the question: With the population what it is NOW,  with each OT7 operating at what  Hubbard stated as full capacity theta-wise,  would it not follow  that 10 thousand More OT7s  as a goal is woefully inadequate?

Because, again, according to Hubbard&#039;s calculations, AT LEAST 20 thousand OT7s are needed RIGHT NOW!

OSA, if you&#039;re reading (and we do hope you are; you&#039;re always welcome, you know that) what&#039;s your opinion on the OT7 theta to entheta ratio thingey with 10K as a goal for present time? Would love to hear it.

Here&#039;s mine, since you didn&#039;t ask:

Just as soon, and I mean immediately upon reaching the goal of 10K, Command Intention will let everyone know that its not enough, and that ANOTHER 10 are needed right away.

And COB will be right!
The time is now!

The population has been steadily growing these past 40 years!
And yet the goal of 10K OT7s has not changed...whoops!

Thank heaven COB is around to bring details like this to everyone&#039;s attention, right?

The Time Is NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description>
