They can use the name when they've finally figured out that "scientology" has a negative impact on their cash flow.

There's a legal definition too.

Excerpted from Depraved Indifference Law & Legal Definition at http://definitions.uslegal.com/d/depraved-indifference/:

To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be 'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting. . . .​

Hey Paul,

Are you bunking with RolandRB?

I like "The Church of Better Science" or CofBS.


But if it were to be called the Church of Depraved Indifference, then I vote for all AO auditors to be called 'exorcists' and the MAA to be called "The DB eliminator"

Dang Paul you got me hallucinating. All I can see now is David Miscavige in action.

Yep, and the evidence is stacking up against COS management.

Some recent stories brought this to mind again.

I love it! I wish I'd remembered this when I wrote my Senate submission!

Such colorful language . . . so much of their conduct is an exercise of depraved indifference!
