			<description><![CDATA[They still live in that world where they think sitting down in private with someone and telling them stories will be enough to convince them that they are right, you were mistaken. Welcome to the information age. Sadly, this works quite effectively for people who have been convinced that the wog world is full of crimes and lies, those that truly believe that criticism against the church is always false and must have been invented by criminal minds, and therefore never read it. With fast and easy access to people who have first hand knowledge of the matter, such lies can be quickly dispelled. And it even seems incredible to those of us who truly are free that they spend their time inventing and presenting such clearly false pictures of reality. The Internet is certainly not truth, but it is an anvil on which the truth can be hammered out, and where lies cannot survive for long. Between all the haters, extremists, trolls, paid agents, apostates, rejects, humanitarians, true believers and people trying to do the right thing, the truth can indeed be found if one looks for it. But within the limited worldview of the CoS, where free speech is a PR slogan at best, lies can not be countered and the truths that may be found suffer for it. When people are faced with the facts, they naturally find it hard to believe that anything so bad can have any good in it, they become bitter or disenchanted or reject it entirely before even experiencing it for themselves. This is why openness, transparency and honesty becomes not only the right thing but even a practical necessity for any organisation seeking to survive this age.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Spot on, Steve. I've had the whole program run on me and all it did was reconfirm my opinion that OSA is peopled by idiots! Here's the clincher, the old (haven't seen you for 10 years) "friend" that just happened to be passing by was the former DSA who seemed to have forgotten that we'd worked together on DSA cycles in the 80s! The coincidental appearance of a Recovery Auditor on my doorstep the following week seemed just "too coincidental". :-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I got an unknown person today contacted me via yahoo IM. Said he is an independent but I have no idea who it is. I edited the Nancy Many video yesterday and today I got a contact. 2nd time this year an unknown contacted me this way. I have no idea how to classify this and the timing is what is making me wonder about it as I was the video editor. Barb]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you. I've never seen anything so perfectly written to those still stuck inside. I was in Scn for 27 years. I left 9 years ago when I realized I had become afraid of the very thing I loved. Scientology. Being afraid of Scn was such a huge and glaring outpoint to me, I decided to use my data series tech and ruthlessly started following the outpoints. I forced myself to have the courage to follow the string till I found the truth. Thank you again thoughtful. VWD! P]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another great article,Steve! :-) Re OSA, LRH´s expression."namby-pamby bunch of panty-waist dilettantes comes to mind." Not only are we winning by our own actions but also by OSA´s stupidity when exposed like in this excellent essay!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's these weak handlings you've listed out above which mean no real handlings or dead agenting is coming up anytime soon. The best dead agenting Miscavige could muster has already occurred, and that is these theetie weetie generalities you've listed out above. No answer to the downstats, GAT slowing auditor training with out tech drills and no read it drill it do it, basics revamping the bridge with a huge new runway before auditor's can sit in the chair, lecture deletions, unusual financial solutions of IAS, Ideal orgs etc, F/N redefined, 75 million dollar RTC building etc etc, can't summarize the whole argument in one post. NO SUBSTANCE! Only "read the freedom mag" which doesn't tackle any of this stuff. OSA get real, we want substance.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As always Thoughtful Steve. You da man!!!!! Yeah the main reason I've been sitting on this expose on the "Life Styles on the Rich and Famous IAS" or "Miscavige's Elite Deviants" is cause I'm waiting for the Paul Haggis nuke to die down but it looks like the radioactive fall out continues so much so that instead of calling it the Church of Scientology or more accurately Miscavigology we should just call it the Bikini Atoll. Too bad Tommy never grew up learning "duck and cover" he could sure use it right now :-) Yeah OSA or as I like to call 'em GO Lite "no taste and less fulfilling" is really a joke. I mean now I'm gonna have to now clean the coffee off the computer screen. You should put a warning label on some of your articles like "Do not read with a mouth full of hot liquid" or "tie your ass securely on so you don't laugh it off" :-) Keep up the good work Ace.
