How many books written by Hubbard have you read?

What about the tapes? A lot of what I remember having to do in Scn is listen to those taped lectures.

God, could he ramble. Those late night tape plays SO staff were forced to sit through were torture.

I've listened to most of the tape/CD series. I did really like the Help series.

I always had a problem when he just starts shooting out these disjointed sentences. I KNOW they're supposed to be super significant but very hard to follow!!

It's even worse when you have to read transcrpts of the tapes-not very smooth flowing. Also, lack examples where you could really use some. "demoing it out" is not always helpful!

I was a staff courses sup in the HGB when these occurred regularly for all the staff in the building once a week. I was aghast--one hour of tape played to tired students who couldn't care less! There were transcripts, but looking through them I could see many things which looked hard for the average SO member to follow.

I built up a collection of these transcripts because I thought these silly "Source Nights" would crash many students' study. One doesn't stop picking up m/u's just because it is outside the courseroom. Almost all the tapes were about dull admin topics.

Surprisingly (to me), these tape plays rarely came up as a barrier, and needing to be cleared up. I know it wasn't because every word was fully understood. I think it is a case of importance--very few bothered to even try and follow what he was droning on about. In the same way that if someone starts talking in a foreign language you don't get any m/u phenomena once you know it is a foreign language and you don't need to even try to understand.

I borrowed Battlefield Earth recently, and read some part of it. I have to agree with a review about the film. He didn't write good, but he shure wrote Lenghty. Seriously. I gave up after we learn the psychlos didn't have a name,so their masters named them psychlos, that meant mental patients in their languages. Then there's that church that is a paralel to the church of scientology, and the mention of a cult named psychiatry(OMFG WHAT?) before the invasion.
It had a good premisse, but Hubby couldn't develop the plot well. But the book is not as bad as the movie. When the fridge logic hit me, i had to sit down.

IF ONLY the tapes we were made to sit through were only an hour.

I remember getting home at 1:30 in the morning from those things.

Absolute torture.
