I think a Christmas truce will only be fair when org staff and others in
the Church of Scientology are given Christmas Day off. This would
include hired attorneys and suchlike.
From my calendar, I see that Christmas is on a Thursday this year. It's
my understanding that org staff will be working, crunching stats for the
2 pm reporting deadline.
I also recall that Helena K. Kobrin (or her paralegal) sent one of her
legal threat letters regarding www.scientology-kills.com on Thanksgiving
morning last month.
If you expect us to take this request for a truce seriously, then the CoS
needs to really do something. I'd suggest giving people Christmas Day
off.
After all, isn't Scientology supposed to be compatible with all
religions? Or does the whole notion of the R6 implant hold sway?

In the $cientology version of the Christmas story, Joseph and Mary and all the
others were not sent to Bethlem to be taxed,
rather XEMU called them into to be taxed and then shot them up with glygol and
transported them to Teegachi.
Now I say, find out what on what day XEMU was born, was he in waddling clothes
or a space suit, did any wise men show up bearing gifts, which, if any,
galatic star was shining brightly and so forth. Armed with this data I say we
make a proposal to the $cios. We'll call a truce on XEMUMAS if they'll truce
on CHRISTMAS.

Have you noticed the similarity? COS...Saddam Hussein?
The criminal wants a truce with the cops. The terrorist wants a truce with
people of good will.
Don't hold your breath waiting for COS to honor any truce.
It would be downstat for OSA to have a truce. So it's just a ruse. Some
ploy to attract attention. Corrupt, abusive persons always seem to take
advantage of the good nature of others.
Here is Scientology's view of Christmas, part of the Sacred Scriptures,
that Hubbard developed from his "research" on Heaven:

Perhaps the orgs should consider building a Christmas display, based
upon their Sacred Scriptures, and invite the public to celebrate
Christmas with them.

Oh, please, people!!! SCIENTOLOGY DOES NOT WANT A TRUCE. Their very
integrity
is at stake again because of the pending announcement in the McPherson
case, they
fear what Wollersheim & his attorneys are going to do, they respond to
philanthropists
by killing pets and dumping them on doorsteps. And you seriously think
they are offering
you the peace pipe? Even I'm not that stupid.

What I was first suggesting - and still am - was that we all be polite to one
another.
Name calling and making generalizations about "all Scientologists think" or
"all critics think" are not only unproductive but usually wrong anyway.
Setting all of ~this~ crap aside - you have things you want to accomplish in
your life. You have people you care about and love. Me too. That was the
original point - to put our attention on THOSE things for a bit. I can't see
how that would harm anybody.
And it doesn't matter at all who *doesn't want to participate*. There will be
those (on both sides) who just can't bear the idea of being truly nice - if
only for a little while. So what?
This message has reached some already. None here need permission to be decent.

Pffffth.
You've become a raving lunatic, RonsAmigo. Your posts are getting more
and more on the edge.
In fact, I'm now beginning to wonder whether your posts more accurately
reflect what's going on inside Scientology than we know.
And in other matters, when are you going to bring a bunch of OTVIIIs to
picket my house again? It's pretty cold right now, so you'd probably
freeze off your soft tenders, but don't let that stop you.
The address is (although I'm sure OSA could give it to you):
1857 South 500 East, Salt Lake City, UT 84105 phone 801/467-9213
I'd appreciate a phone call first.
I'll be waiting for you and yours. After you get through picketing me,
maybe you can run up to Alta or Snowbird and take in some awfully fine
skiing.

take down this web page?

Restaurants are commercial enterprises; *bad* analogy. :-)
Suppose you could dictate who gets Christmas day off in Scientology.
Suppose you were David Miscavige, and your word was law within
Scientology. Would you have them take the day off?
Must "total freedom" always mean total obedience to command intention
and nose to the grindstone? Can't the poor staffers have one lousy
day off?

How about going to www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/2881 and

It's a good analogy, in a way...
Well, I can show you a policy where Hubbard wrote: "We are a financial
institution not a bank." It's in OEC Vol III - in one of the policies on
credit and the lack of giving credit (it's "out-exchange").
And go ask some good ol' timers (like Ron Skinner, Gary Vigue, Loren
Zanier, Bobby Giles or Ron Yoder) about "galley duty" for the staff. Ask
how many staff they cooked for at the Complex, FOLO WUS, etc. on Christmas
Day.
Was any old time staff member able to get away to Falling Springs
Lodge, north of Azusa with fellow staff for a party? If so, how many
years was this "allowed"?

If you've seen many Co$ gloss pubs and adverts, there are quite a few
of smaller framed male Co$ members who have their hair in similar cut
and color and are starched looking.
The question is, was the person Deana thought was DM wearing his
naval outfit? I doubt DM would come out to the curb without an
entourage.
I have had a Mormon come to the door before (I live near a big mall
and main street to get Mormons and Jehovahs Witnesses more than I
think I should) who even looked a bit like DM in stature and facial
appearance.
You have to give DM credit, he is always quite well groomed and
looks good. Now, if only he would be somewhat nicer :-)

Of course not. Do you get a day off when you're on a ship driving across a
salted up lake? No! Not on LRH's watch, not on LRH's ship, not in LRH's
navy!
In the real Navy, on a ship driving along, they might not make you work
but you do stand your watches though. However, they generally put some
effort into a decent meal. Maybe LRH was on some really bad ships during
his Navy career!

Bloody Viking does a good job of putting it back into Hubbard's perspective.
One of his *stated* reasons for going to sea in the Sea Organization (every new
S.O. member is taught this) was that the sea was a difficult environment in
which to live. Being at sea required that the staff member be on his toes
constantly (e.g. if you drop a tool on dry land, you pick it up; if at sea,
it's going to the bottom never to be seen again.). For this reason, the Sea
Org staff member is to act as though he's in an environment as potentially
dangerous as the sea. Maybe that's one of the reasons for all the paranoia.(?)

I agree with you. It is not.
The reason I did not volunteer to take it down for the holidays is I do not
know if I can. I do not do the web page work myself and do not know how to
take it down - or put it back up, either.
The Fishman link was broken for some time, and even that was a problem to get
handled. As I am - in this case - dependant upon others to get the actual work
done, I did not want to promise to have it down by Christmas, as I did not
know if that was a promise I could keep.

If one will consider the LRH writings against being "reasonable" with
critics of Scientology, you can see how big Russell is being in this matter.
LRH wrote very much about many things. There are some things I can identify
as worthwhile, but my research reveals many things about LRH and Scientology
that differ sharply with his followers. One mismatch though, is that
"Former" Scientologists have already taken a stand for "everything" that LRH
wrote--and then took a differing stand. To this extent "Formers" can see
both sides. For a Scientologist to take a look at both sides reflects the
dogged search drive characteristic of "my kind of people"--which includes
disallowing the "Orders" of any religious leader that we discontinue our
quest and settle in for only his findings--especially if his findings
include any contradictions.
I can't help wonder though, how Ethics and OSA personnel will take to
this--although every Scientologist is free to choose for himself.
Yours,
Alec

This is what happened. I was picketing, and being pretty single-minded
about it, since I was being harassed at all times by at least one
Scientologist (and sometimes more). I would look across the street to
the front of the Shrine Auditorium to see what was going on. It was
during one of these looks that I saw the fellow that I believe was DM.
He had a Sea Borg dress blue suit on, with more fruit salad on the front
than you could eat at a sitting, and he was flanked by two *taller* guys,
also in Sea Borg dress blues with tons of fruit salad. These three stood
in the front of the Shrine and proceeded to stare at me. I asked my
handler, "Is that David Miscavige?" but he would not answer me.
Because of the height, the hair, and the excessive amount of fruit salad
on the front of the Sea Borg uniform, as well as the fact that he was
flanked by other guys with tons of fruit salad on their Sea Borg
uniforms, I believe it was DM. I do not understand otherwise why three
high-ranking Sea Borgers would come out on the sidewalk to stare at me,
or why my handler would refuse to answer.
Although I cannot give a definitive answer, I do believe it was DM.

doesn't surprise me, keith. not after 30 critics shut down the

but wait. the lawn ornament apparently isn't in charge. it's
some wog lawyers, who could give a shit less (and frequently
do) about scientology. alll they care about is money. which is
what the critics have said all along. wog lawyers, who drag
the wee lawn ornament by his leash to his very public, very
humiliating, daily buggering at the hands of scamizdat, and
anyone else who wants a piece. step right up, boys!
nay, i say. davey likes it. it's the scientology experience,

aren't scientologists everywhere proud? isn't everyone else
puking their guts out at the depravity, when they're not laughing
them out that the incompetent spectacle of a torpid staggering

what a hypocrite. the materials are under your name and password.
surely even you have the ability to change a filename here and there.
you have several days. are you saying you have not way to
contact someone to do something in that time?
you are disingenuous, russel shaw. as is your proposed 'truce'
and i see you are still lying on your page, even though i pointed out
your lie, and asked you to correct it. the Friends of Dennis Erlich
Club has not, does not, will not pay his child support
payments. The Friends of Dennis Erlich Club will collect monies
to defray attorney fees and other legal expenses to enable him
to defend himself against charges of child abuse, and to defend
himself against abusive scientology practices related to his
family situation.
you are a liar and a hypocrite, russel shaw. i will not participate
in your truce, because it is not a truce, but a ruse to lull critics.
hubbard gave no quarter, neither do scientologists. tell me which
orgs will be closed on christmas, so that their people can attend
mass, can be with family.
i will not participate in your truce, because i am not really at
war, except with injustice and untruth, and the vigilance against
these must be eternal. and i will choose my own time to post
or not. as you may choose your own time to read or not.
not only are you a liar and a hypocrite, russel shaw, so is the
church of scientology. a true whore of babylon, drunk on the
blood of the saints, now seeking only to justify itself with whining
pewling appeals to religion, to a bankrupt and derelict 'religion'
created by a lying, abusive madman. willing to prostitute itself
to the IRS or anything else to gain respectability. inviting
public buggering on the internet, so that it can mewl about how
it is the victim.
and if that's not enough, it's willing to shut itself down so that
itmost indoctrinated and senior members can't hear the truth
from a handful of critics. what a loser this so-called church
