"Going Clear" is premiering in Sydney at the Dendy in Newtown this Thursday night. It has already been shown as part of the Sydney Film Festival but this is the commercial release of it.:happydance:

There will be a Q & A after the showing hosted by the incomparable Bryan Seymour and featuring Sen. Nic Xenophon along with ESMB's own Feral and Scooter. This will run for an hour or so.

If you live in Sydney and I haven't already contacted you privately about this, my apologies. I believe some tickets are still available and apparently seating is on a "first in, best dressed" basis.

Should be a hoot, especially if OSAspawn show up.:woohoo:

Thanks Scooter,

Perhaps the remaining seats will be scooped up by the Charity Commission for the purpose of 'professional education' Anyone contact them yet?

Heard the intro/ promo for the talk back on Scientology by Kim Hill on National Radio Program(NZ) on Saturday, I though this would be interesting, but ended up missing it,
I thought this would be entertaining as she's, a very tough, take no prisoner kinda interviewer and has ruined many a person on Talkback radio. We joke about her as Cleaning her teeth in the mornings, with a nail file, , but very good at tackling the hard questions,
Did anybody else listen to it,? the guest was someone called Jeff who had taken to different Personality test in Ideal orgs in America, that's all I got,
Granitt.

My favourite quote from this interview:

"so much perfidy, so little time."

Alex Gibney, when asked why he left so much stuff out of the movie.

:roflmao:

Yeah it is a very sweet quote. :)

Great word perfidy.

Mike (the OSA lad here in NZ) will be having a really shit week dealing with regular telex machine paper-jams, scrambling to get the orders from the OSA lads in Aust. because of this radio interview. Oh the chaos of cult life! :melodramatic:

Gratitude to Alex Gibney and team. Very very nice that your film is making its way around the world, causing numerous paper-jams in the cults telex machines. Going Clear: Scientology and the prison of belief is unstoppable!

I'm off to hit the volume button on the The The, Uncertain Smile. Love that piano!

I told you I was trouble said:

Well, look what the cat dragged in!

It's lovely to see you again Glenda, you've been quiet and you were missed.

Thank you. Been dealing with a few things. Boring the hell out of myself in the process. :eyeroll: I broke the non-creative-sludge spell last night by finding my fountain pens, dragging out the ink and writing and writing and writing...

There is nothing quite like writing, in ink, with a good fountain pen. Bliss.

Recently I met a doctor who signs his documents with a fountain pen. We fell in love (over the prescription pad and the blood pressure taking equipment) and plan to marry in the summer. :wink2:

(Note: the last sentence is not true however we did waste far too much consultation time talking about the virtues of a good nib and what colour inks we both liked.)

I have a collection of fountain pens (mainly vintage) ... and I love them but some have a very bad attitude and deliberately run out of ink so that when I produce one (with a glorious flourish) to sign something ... I look a right dick!

Good to see some other proper pen users here. I used to collect fountain pens but have sold off most of them and now just have a couple of Parker 51s and a Waterman Gentleman (which was a good pen in its day).

I think people really appreciate getting a hand written letter nowadays and I probably should do it more, the trouble is that e-mail is so easy :shrug:

I predict you would most definitely not appreciate receiving a hand-written letter from me.

Standard comment my beloved Math, French and Latin teacher left under each and every single one of my tests and homework assignments: "Gallina scripsit", which, for the non-Latin speakers out there translates to: "Chicken scribbled". :biggrin: :biggrin: :coolwink:

I'm a leftie, so I find it difficult not to smudge the ink as I write.

It is just a little harder to smudge the keyboard.

I can't locate my old Parker - it has been misplaced the past few years with all the moving around I've done. I've put it somewhere "safe" - so safe I can't find it. Duh!

I have 5x bottles of ink sitting on my table as I write this. Gorgeous bottles. Oh no...my pen/ink fetish is being publicly revealed. :p

Hand-writing is a very different experience to using a keyboard - it's more organic or something. I can't think of the words to describe it (tired) - there is nothing quite like a fresh notebook and a fountain pen - that first moment when the ink flows onto the paper. I never ever tire of that moment. :)

Congratulations for being a leftie! :thumbsup:

I was born a leftie, but forcefully re-trained to become rightie in kindergarten and elementary school. Later, when it had become more acceptable to be a leftie, I was too lazy to re-re-train myself and remained a fake rightie. I blame my bad handwriting on that. :shrug:

:hysterical: Sorry, man, while I might be able to hold up reasonably well in discussions about HiFi/Stereo, stereo chemistry (German Wiki link) is not my thing. :biggrin::coolwink:

Ich spreche kein Deutsch, but the stereoisomers are known by the isomers' chirality (cis or trans) or handedness. So you hit that nail on the head :) :clap: :coolwink:
