On the subject of the Trump Taj Mahal, have you read the book by Chris Hedges; “America: The Farewell Tour”? It is a great book, well worth the read.

Cheers mate. Took a while but there’s just so much you’ll put up with and just so much you can keep ignoring or explaining away. Everyone seems to have their own tipping point. After that it’s just a question of how honest you want to be with yourself and how much humble pie you’re willing to consume!

Bill wow that’s dramatic description indeed. And I understand. But you are here. Now, what about being whom is gonna piss on their grave?
In my opinion they are well beyond the no return point. Our comments can help silently many persons. .

“It is a great honor to commit financial suicide if you donate all the proceeds to the scam.”

You’re being amusing and sarcastic, Loosing but this happens to be spot on true. I knew Scientologists who were very proud of incurring onerous debts they had not a chance in hell of paying off, so they could donate all of it to the cult. I listened to them BRAGGING about NOT having paid bills like credit cards and taxes and instead shunting that money to Scientology. And I heard them lauded by the staff, praised to the skies by the staff for this extreme financial irresponsibility. Yes, these people got praise for not paying their bills and giving the Church of Scientology the money instead! PRAISE! For this deplorable behavior! It blew my mind then and it still blows it now! Thank God I was never THAT craven for approval. I craved approval from them, yes, but not to that extent.

Yeah, those were the days, Bill. No more beer!

Yes, the TRs film we had to watch over and over again on the Pro TRs Course, starring Dan Koon and Dan’s and my mutual good friend doing their TRs.

That isn’t that far fetched in the current scene. There have been many ideal org fundraisers described as “Casino Nights”, in spite of what LRH wrote about gambling. Anything goes, as long as an activity raises a lot of money and doesn’t break too many laws…

When I was 16 I drank almost an entire bottle of pre-mixed screwdriver. I didn’t like to drink. I hated the taste of everything including wine and beer. But I was alone in my then teetotalling tastes and it was not cool. This bottled screwdriver went down very easily like it was just orange juice or soda…glug glug glug…nothing to it. I was so proud of myself…wow was I cool, chug a lugging nearly the whole bottle like that. Everyone thought so. I was quite impressed with myself. That night, at home, I was so sick, so violently ill the entire night, throwing up until I thought I’d puke my stomach out. I couldn’t stop throwing up even thought there was nothing left in me to throw. To this day, many decades later, I still cannot think about vodka in combination with orange juice without feeling mildly nauseous. Just thinking about it is all it takes. I’m feeling it now, just writing this,and it was so long ago. Vodka? Ok occasionally. Orange juice? Love it. Together? OMG! AHHHH!

Now you’re talking, Matt! I’ve long had this picture of Donald Trump buying the Super Power building. Not with his own money of course, but as one of his licensing/managing/ branding deals. Some Russian oligarch or Saudi prince etc could put up the money.
The SP building is YUGE and its in his home state of Florida..Clearwater could be another Atlantic City for him…perfect. Precisely the kind of building he’d want to own and turn into a huge, lavish, over the top hotel/casino etc. with his name in gold emblazoned on it. He could call it The Trump Super Power Building. And probably would. Seriously, I’ve had this mental picture of this happening for years now, even before he ran for President! I’m not being political; I’m just sharing that I’ve long had this picture for some reason!

I’ve got a few pub questions for these idiots:

In the past 5 years,
How many auditors did Scientology train?
How many Clears did Scientology produce?
How many OTs did Scientology make?
And last but not least,
How many new, never in Scientology before raw public started on entry level basic courses in the past 5 years?

I’ll bet these questions, asked by a Still In today, could get them written up, and ultimately, declared. Seriously.
