Scientology…The Designer Cult
Over the last 45 days I have been being the primary care giver for a friend that is recovering from Major Surgery.
During that time, my friend’s 89 year old father (WWII, US Army Air Corps Vet, South Pacific—P38, Lightning’s, P61, Black Widow’s) took a turn for the worse in the Retirement Home he was in. He suffers from dementia, Alzheimer’s and has had several, moderate strokes.
Long story short, we brought him home to my friend’s house for 6 days and spent exhaustive hours caring for him and finding a Geropsychiatrist to evaluate, treat him and “tune” his Meds.
The Doctor we found was brilliant, very informative and caring. We checked my friend’s father (let’s call him “Bob”) into a Geropsychiatry Hospital under the Doctor's care and, 12 days later, my friend’s father was like a “new man”…He still had dementia, Alzheimer’s and stroke related neural dysfunction but, he was more lucid, tranquil and “awake”. The Doctor recommended another facility for us to relocate Bob to. We subsequently toured that facility…It was remarkable and, honestly, brought tears to my eyes.
Bob was released from the Geropsychiatry Hospital today and we took him to his new “Home”. When I say home I mean “Home”. The physical appearance of his new home is not a palace…it is functional and designed for folks with Bob’s needs. What is most important is that Bob’s new home is staffed by an abundance of licensed, trained, professional and caring staff regarding Bob’s diagnosis, prognosis and needs—currently and into his future. It is well equipped, and quite sensibly and thoughtfully put together.
The Cof$ does not give flying F about Bob and his Brothers in Arms and seeks to glorify (lie) about El Ron’s “Bravado in Combat”. Scn figuratively kisses El Ron’s sacred ass and bathe Hisself's memory in glory but would never stoop so low into the “MEST Universe” as to physically wipe Bob’s more than deserving backside and bathe his withered, frail but still vibrant body.
After the War Bob came home, married and raised a family. He bought WWII surplus airplanes, rebuilt them with his own hands and flew them with his child (my friend). He worked split shifts for over 30 years as a Shop Steward/Foreman for a major manufacturing company (Fortune 500) and started/ran—in his “spare time”—two businesses, built his house with his own hands and was one helluva fine woodsman/fisherman/sailor.
So, what’s all this got to do with this “Shooting Stars” Thread?
Scn is a “Designer Cult” and over the next month or so I’m gonna try and explain just what I mean by that statement.
We all can buy “Designer” britches. Bob wore them britches before they were “Vogue”. H-U-G-E deference.
I’ve had much “pause for thought” and I’ve got a few things more I want to say.
Peace.
