Well, I did say in my post that he spent a lot of time on Scn and Dn. I do realize he put a lot of effort into it. I think he was emotionally invested in it. I think he did think that auditing and...

It took me quite a while to get out of the LRH as insightful founder mindset. I did start criticizing him very early on in my internet activities, but to really go fult tilt boogie with being well, I...

Didn't he think it lodged in the body fat or something?

Kinda hard to sue a new age cult for saying that some nebulous state could be achieved. Don't get me wrong- I think it's great to challenge them on this- and point to the fact (could even give...

I've always been very fond of Marta.

Getting back to what Cats' said-- I do think that people receive and encounter spiritual phenomena and run it through their cultural and other internal filters. I wouldn't be surprised if, say, the...

The non CofS Scn'ists here are ex members of CofS. Some of them have been expelled. Some have suffered disconnection and fair game by CofS.

So this forum is probably valuable to them in that...

To the extent that any unlicensed pop psych or New Age practitioner (and we have lots of them in the US) has that right, then so does anyone else.

To the extent that they don't, then so it goes...

Well, I dunno that I would consider BlackRob to be my opposite in viewpoint or in any other way. I don't agree with him on everything, but nobody agrees with others on everything.

We're all...

Well, wait a minute. I don't think it's just respecting the forum, though one certainly should do so. Must do so, really, right?

But you can respect others without agreeing with them.

An...

An observation I made in a phone conversation with my Mom once--

IMO, the leading and main cause of cessation of friendship or any amiable relationship between people is when one of the people is...

Nothing personal, B.

Here's the reason I disagree. I know it'st just pixels on a screen and that a bit of argumentation can be interesting and all that. But consider this- there are things a...

That is a shame. I would very much like to meet you. :) Perhaps things may change or we'll see you at a future one.

When I was in CofS, as we all know, there were the prohibitions against "Other practices". While some of it was obvious, it did seem open to varying interpretations. I bet if you asked 5 staff...

It's always been a great party. And I was an Indie when I went to a couple of them and there never was a problem or any discord whatsoever.

It's a fantastic SP-a-palooza! For a bunch of...

The posts about wins and stuff are no longer allowed here and have not been being posted here since that rule was implemented. (this is not a poke at or disagreement of this, either and I hope my...

I love my friends here. I've made a lot of friends in the critic's scene and so has J. When friends of ours left the cult, they immediately got in touch with us and we'd not heard from them in - OMG,...

I really like GoFundMe. It's a nice clean site, it seems so very user friendly.

Thanks to TrevAnon for mentioning the site and to Sautez for all her hard work.

The support and love here are...

I can totally understand someone wanting to boycott for that reason. I've boycotted products and stuff, myself.

For my part, I tend to think most celebs are probably people of whom I'm not likely...

I'm quite proud of John and his retirement, yes. We often talk about what an asshat Hubbard was in many respects. J is a true skeptic, though an independent Scn'ist. I don't think of him as a koolaid...

Contractor promises kitchen will be done next week. I'm sure it will take longer- but progress has been made.

I will be posting pix of the kitchen on Facebook and Flickr, and not here.

Probably. Wouldn't be the first time I misunderstood something. If so, sorry about that.

Considering how you feel about FZ stuff, that's a really nice thing for you to say. (I am not being sarcastic).

I think Terril's not the only one around here with a big heart. :)

FB, I wanted to click like and thank but J's computer's acting weird and I can't do it. It is letting me reply, though. Lovely lovely post.

Kutta was a very sweet nice person. Just being around her made things seem lighter and better somehow. I'll never forget her.
