Scientology Breeds Fanaticism

[nexus100]

I wish it would stay that way.

Gadfly did an awesome job of laying out his case and while I wouldn't actually expect any one to refute it I wish those that want to contribute to it would use the confines he lays out as a ground work for further discussion.

You aren't from around here, are you?

Because I want you to have fun so the interest level keeps up.

What I'm not saying I've already said.

I still don't understand.

Is, in your estimation, I am not having fun?

Or, is this an expression of some frustration of yours?

I am trying to verify this because English is my second language, and American English is my third.

"Have fun" is a pleasantry and also expresses my present belief of importances. I use it rather than "Just sayin'" or "Don't let your meatloaf".

I'm not frustrated, I now get your position and expect you get mine. We are hunky-dory.

OK, that's great! Now I don't have any misunderstanding on that point any more.

But now I am confused about "Don't let your meatloaf". Is that English? Shouldn't it be, ""Don't let your meat loaf" meaning "Don't allow your meat to loaf around." I get wild pictures when I think of that.

Getting back to the topic at hand, $ci. is flawed by it's very own definitions as Gadfly posted starting the thread IMO.

[Panda Termint]

The following post applies to you also.

It might help you to review the last few page of that thread.

Vinay, How would you know this?
I am the UNKNOWABLE.
I am NOTHING.
By your own admission you know nothing of me, you only see my footprints and scratching in the dust of ESMB.
Practice what you preach!

I think this is one of the best threads on ESMB ever.

I wish it would stay that way.

Agreed.

This thread is referenced and linked by a poster on Jeff Hawkins' blog. So, for anyone looking in, and wondering what the heck happened to it, it was derailed on page 11.

Here are the first ten pages:

You still don't get it.

You may be unknowable but a lot connected to the identity "Panda Termint" is knowable. All that you have posted on ESMB is knowable.

The earlier similar to Scientology is hard-core Christianity, and prior to that it is hard-core Judaism. Just leaving Scientology does not mean that one is free of the mindset that made one into a hard-core Scientologist.

Many people on this board still carry the same hard-core mindset that exists in the Church of Scientology.

I am off this thread now. As this is what I wanted to really say.
