Lynn. Welcome and thank you.
IAS often remembers me the mafia. They ask money from the shops for protection. But there is anything to be protected from. If the shop’s owner doesn’t pay then he gets some good motivation to do it.

I haven’t read Mike’s column for a few days. (sorry Mike) Loosing my Religion this made me laugh because I actually had to Google it to see if it was a real or made up word! Much to my surprise it is a word as previously pointed out. Not convinced if its a word in English or just in India?? I also had never heard donator used in a sentence. Yes, I looked that up too. Thanks for giving me a chuckle.

There is absolutely no doubt Hubbard was a con man. He was a totally committed follower of a spiritual being Christ Jesus the Lord from heaven called; the Liar and the “father of lies”.. For nearly 38 years I’ve tried to warn people of the evil that is Scientology. There is truth found in one person. He’s the Son of God. He said; I am the way the truth and the life. He and his Apostles after him in the New Testament warned about men like Hubbard. Charles Russell, Jehovah’s Whiteness, Joseph Smith, Mormons false prophet. Muhammad that maniac from Medina. And you could list hundreds more. Read the Gospel of St John, the Acts of the apostles and St Paul’s letter to the Romans if you’d like spiritual truth.

Thanks, Newcomer. And I understand; the reality for one area can differ widely from the actual scene of another. I’ll check out this blog, thanks. Straight unbiased info is certainly needed.

And, yeah, Dave! PAY ATTENTION to the defrocked types advising you here! While you’re getting your hair streaked Minneapolis might be calming down on its own for GAWDS SAKE 🙂

I think it is charitable – congratulations.

Take Em Down. I got it. Based on your description my idea is that hubbard mind wasn’t so above the “bank”.
Magic and other similar stuff mixed to a dark side of the life or of the mind isn’t an example of real sanity. And it will never bring sanity to anyone.

Stats. Thank you. I have been in the SO for about 15 years and I have seen several things happening.
I know that many people hit this blog everyday. Many haven’t been in the cult. So in my comments time to time I try to give a easier way to unerstand a topic. They must know. Do great.

Looking again at the promo,Is it just me being charitable (for once), or is it possible that those are magickal horses getting set to launch themselves up to the stars?

That’s my point, it appears to be religious, but in reality, it is a Black Magic symbol with L Ron spin on it.. I got the idea from the Babylon symbol that was used by Crowley. I figured that L Ron would want to call the cross his own. He put his hidden “signature” into the cross. Definitely not religious. Teegeeack spelling was invented to create a hidden meaning in L Ron’s mind. The symbol gives reverence to Teegeeack and XEMUU, Ron’s best friends. Without Teegeeack and XEMUU, Ron would have nothing to sell. Ron loved XEMUU , and Scientologist feared XEMUU….

I feel your pain!
