The Little Thread Which Grew - the Apollo '73 to Everything But

[SweetnessandLight]

You guys are very good people. I know it's random and may be out of nowhere. Just feel like telling you that Keep it going.

Hiya Stat! Welcome, good to see you here. Feel free to join the conversation, the water's fine!

 

[SweetnessandLight]

I am quoting my own post to add a new insight which I got from "the birdie", a 1940's saying which I remember from my chilhood. It means the thought just popped into ones mind out of thin air.

Candy being blackballed from the CCLA Oldtimers party being hosted by Spanky is really mainly an expression of jealousy. Candy was the "belle of the ball" when CCLA first opened and really during her entire tenure at CCLA which was approximately 2 1/2 to 3 years. The slogan, "Blondes have more fun." was particularly true of the Candy of the early 1970's. She was the most popular staff member and the biggest opinion leader around the Org. I think someone who is involved with the CCLA staff party does not want her to attend because she is still blonde both literally and figuratively and she will steal too much of the limelight. I do not know if Spanky is the culprit or if someone else is responsible.

Its just a hunch but that is what I am picking up from my telepathic antennae, better known as "a little birdie told me". Its a shame she was not allowed to attend because in protest, I too decided not to attend and I told Johnny about the incident and he decided not to attend. What a waste! If the three of us had gone, the party could have been enlivened by a huge amount and everyone would have enjoyed the party vastly more.

Boy, you are sure right about that, Lakey!

Not just blonde Lakey, but GOLDEN! She shines, from the inside outwards!

It's always better, socially, to err on the side of inclusion...some of us just know how to play nicely with others more so than others.

I think fear is really at the root of what happened, but it's probably best just to let it go and move on, not to make it into a bigger thing than it was. Why feed that kind of negativity? It was their loss. Small, fearful people will eventually learn and grow, or not. Have a wonderful life anyway! Don't let their problems become your problems...so it was a big missed opportunity, not one you guys were responsible for, so let it go. Just observe and learn from it...that's what all our life experiences are...just grist for the mill of learning.

Unstoppable at your theater NOW!

My wife and I just saw "Unstoppable." We were grabbing and squeezing each other's hands through the whole movie. It is a grab and hold on movie. Really good.

Watching this situation unfold, I have come to believe that daughter, now grown, is raising good parents.

I just found this. I wrote it a decade ago.



As Mike Myers might say, discuss this among yourselves.


Watching our youngest daughter these days is an especial treat.

She’s twenty-one, and no longer needs a fake ID (to go into bars).

In her second job since finishing college (Cum Laude), she’s doing sales at Loudcloud (a high tech startup). Since she moved back to the (San Francisco) Bay Area from L.A., she has been living with us, her parents.

Most nights she gets home by 2; leaves in the morning by 8. This weekend she joins some friends in New Orleans for a birthday party.

Her connections are such that a CEO visiting her company’s CEO gives her a big hug. She gets tickets to a play that is so sold out (starring Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, Cheech Marin, etc) from the producer because he likes her. She’s on first name basis with the CEO of a company that other sales people, in her company, have never spoken to, even though they are the ones negotiating an agreement. She has instant chat with all sorts of tech wizzes who answer her questions when she talking on the phone to potential clients. At a party, the other night, when no one was dancing, she and a CEO friend took over the DJ’s choices for music, got on the dance floor and got everybody dancing, sweating, and having a good time. She works rooms with no fear and complete success. Talks to William Morris honchos with the same ease as she talks to VC wunderkinds. Has friends all over the globe. She loves her life.

I hope you get the idea. I’m talking about a dynamo. This is being in the zone. Since I had a similar zone experience thirty years ago, I think I know something about the pitfalls to watch out for, hence keep the magic alive. It has taken me thirty years to find my way back to this point.

Since I’ve been her principal auditor and clearing tech terminal for years, I’ve gotten a lot of first class feedback on what it takes to create and maintain the zone.

Purpose, connection, and no case seem to be the key ingredients.

As to purpose, read a very clean and clear understanding of one’s core principles and no charge in restimulation on any of the universes between heaven and the current physical universe.

If one is on track with their core principles, then one can become connected (or reconnected) to one’s spiritual teammates (guardian angels). Waking some up, getting others back in agreement, etc. By getting all your teammates in sync with your (and their) core principles makes for a powerful force for positive motion and interchange.

Once you and your spiritual teammates are acting on the same core principles and vectors, life just starts going extraordinarily for you. Power terminals just naturally appear to smooth your way. Games get bigger. There is plenty of the will to play and win. Energy is effortless. You and your spiritual teammates, knowingly create your future. That is what holographic visioning is really all about.

Dating 101: How to Tell the Duds From the Studs
Take this simple quiz to find your perfect mate

By Dating expert Diana Kirschner, Ph.D.

Updated: Jan 9, 2009

You can find a love match no matter what your circumstance is and/or your relationship needs are. College students, laid-off folks, divorcees, single parents, and recession-proof millionaires are all seeking a mate while dating online, and/or dating offline. Not to mention looking for that soul mate! Especially right now, when the number of online daters are soaring -- and being single, at any age, is becoming more commonplace.

Dating is a numbers game. Absolutely a numbers game.

So you do need to quickly wade through what I call the DUDs (Definitely Unworkable Dudes/Dudesses) from the STUDs (Seriously Terrific, Utterly Devoted).

Use the test below to determine if someone is worth dating by identifying their positive behaviors. This will help you weed out those who are heartbreakers and problematic love matches, or who are unworkable.
Remember, there is no perfect partner -- including you. Like raw diamonds, we are all flawed and require honing and polishing. And as a single searching for the ultimate companion, you can discover that diamond in the rough -- that someone who you can truly thrive with.

As you're getting to know a potential partner, keep in mind these DUD/STUD Quiz questions to determine if he/she is a dating contender for you:

1. Is this person crazy about you?

Shows eagerness to see you
Reveals reluctance to leave your presence
Asks about your life interests
Wants to be helpful
Is verbally and physically affectionate
Desires to be romantic with you
Acts like you are very special; rejects opportunities to date others

Dating Contender = yes on at least four of the above

2. Is this person willing to grow with you?

Accepts suggestions/advice well
Engages in self-reflection
Willing to learn new things with you
Takes courses for personal or career growth
Meditates/prays or is comfortable with one's own spirituality

Dating Contender = yes on at least two of the above

3. Does your date meet the basics?

Exhibits reliability, honesty, and altruism
Wants a real, committed relationship
Agrees with your choice to have, or not have, children
Enjoys or pursues careeer success and/or financial independence
Understands your religious faith -- or your absence of a specific faith
Leaves all past romances with anyone else
Shows love and support of family and friends
Lives close to you

Dating Contender = yes on at least four of the above

Worth a Listen

One of the most soulful musicians you probably never heard of, Willy Deville. I love his ability to take a seemingly worn-out standard then give it a new life: Spanish Harlem, Let It Be Me, and Come A Little Bit Closer to name a few.

But you have likely heard one of his songs, Storybook Love, a collaboration with Mark Knofler.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DboM8xYouqc


From wiki: About his legacy, DeVille told an interviewer, "I have a theory. I know that I'll sell much more records when I'm dead. It isn't very pleasant, but I have to get used to this idea."

Thom Jurek wrote about him after his death, "Willy DeVille is America's loss even if America doesn’t know it yet. The reason is simple: Like the very best rock and roll writers and performers in our history, he’s one of the very few who got it right; he understood what made a three-minute song great, and why it mattered—because it mattered to him. He lived and died with the audience in his shows, and he gave them something to remember when they left the theater, because he meant every single word of every song as he performed it. Europeans like that. In this jingoistic age of American pride, perhaps we can revisit our own true love of rock and roll by discovering Willy DeVille for the first time—or, at the very least, remember him for what he really was: an American original. The mythos and pathos in his songs, his voice, and his performances were born in these streets and cities and then given to the world who appreciated him much more than we did."

Singer Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band said about him, "He had all the roots of music that I love and had this whole street thing of R&B — just the whole gestalt... He was just a tremendous talent; a true artist in the sense that he never compromised. He had a special vision and remained true to it."

[Hatshepsut]

Oh WOW. My favorite Kristofferson song. I remember in 1969 Johnny Cash did his remake with the violins. Sweet.

The Johnny Cash Show featured a lot of budding talent sorta like Ed Sullivan used to do. I sat in on a taping once down at the Ryman auditorium in Nashville. In 1969 around the time of this duet Kristofferson had already written Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through The Night, For The Good Times...and he liked to tell the story of how he presented the song in the above video to Johnny Cash. Apparently, without notice in a moment of enthusiasm and inspiration he flew his helicopter onto the roof of Johnny's house in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He rushed his song downstairs for an impromptu jam sessiion in the livingroom. Kristofferson had graduated from West Point and had flown for the military.
I have a spectacular recording of Russell Crowe doing a duet with Kristofferson for PBS on Soundstage. I have around five of Russell's albums with Thirty Odd Foot Of Grunts. This number he did on Soundstage beats any of his earlier work on those albums. I have to find this to share. You will be surprised at just how good they were.

my Rant re party

Dear Gary,

By Tory's speaking out and holding a position of strength, and welcoming all these great people as they leave the insane asylum [CoS] she and you have inspired me to add my two sense here.

sorry i couldn't make it to the party last night and you chose not to go without me, even when I said to please take Johnny Raf and go and give them all my aloha!

being as i was Yvonne's first celeb auditor and never really on staff, but worked for CC for nearly 3 years, and was the first to help her at the very beginning of CC [ask Hana] etc...

I guess that's why I got uninvited at the last minute...

I wasn't true staff?!&$%#!

I've been told that possibly Hector and Spanky and even Tory herself may think I'm a plant for CoS!!!

*********I think it's possible that CoS would like to plant this idea in all their minds because they're so f-ked-up and play these nasty games with all the wonderful out-of-the-church folks... **********

I was never officially 'in' the church - just ask my x husband Ira Chaleff...

I was forced under extreme duress by Baron Barez to sign the ONE BILLION YEAR Sea Org contract: ask Neville Chamberlain about that one; and I've NEVER considered myself a Sea Org member.

in the past, I've been terribly out-spoken about how I think the CoS is messing up. [Remember, I excelled as a QUALITY CONTROL person within the Church itself! [ask Phil Spickler and check out his 7 U-tube videos excellently filmed by Tatianna herself, Goddess of Mercy.]

My in-your-face outspokenness ended and went underground when, for example: Having just returned from the Flagship, where I worked directly Ron, Ira turned me into the AOLA ethics officer in 1970 for saying something against the way the Church was running things [for instance, turning Alan Walters over to the IRS], with the resulting effect that I went storming out of the AO reception, and the rest is herstory. In other words, I made a planned escape and slowly and discretely made my way OUT.

You guys all were still involved when I SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL and no one wanted to hear the truth, so I gracefully extricated myself from the lot of you true believers and moved home to Hawaii in 1977 [for the next 28 years] to get away from all the insanity.

My only Scn friends were Alan Walter [who visited me in Hawaii regularly over the years; wined and dined me in his very lovely fashion] and kept me apprised of all the goings on over the phone, as it all occurred,point by point, and you all got declared,[ including big pin Alan, May he rest in peace] etc ... ... [other names I won’t mention since they’re still alive and well, still surviving the mockery that has befallen Scientology.]

TO THE SCIENTOLOGY WORLD, BOTH IN AND OUT AND INDIE and someplace in between:

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO SIT BY AND SEE IT ALL HAPPENING BEFORE MY VERY EYES AND NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST WON'T LISTEN AND WILL TURN A BLIND EYE?

i AM NOT THE F--KING PLANT! i AM THE CHURCH'S WORST NIGHTMARE.

I AM A SOOTHSAYER FROM WAY BACK AND I SPEAK THE TRUTH AS I SEE IT...

SO, YOU ALL CAN EXCLUDE ME, AND BE JUST LIKE THE COS, AND DISCONNECT FROM ME, BECAUSE, SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS.

BUT, HOW DO WE CHANGE THE EXISTING SITUATION IF WE ARE ALL JUST SWEETLY STICKING OUR HEADS IN THE SAND?

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! I AM NOT THE ENEMY. DO YOU GET IT YET?

HOLLY, ETC, ETC, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND, BLESS HER SOUL, CATHY CARIOTAKI, MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.. .... [LUCKILY SHE AND I WERE ABLE TO CLEAN UP THAT UPSET AT SYLVIA CALHOUN'S PARTY JUST BEFORE CATHY PASSED]...

have I got your attention? That rumor that I was the plant from CoS, 4 years ago, nearly did me in...

I was ready to go back to Hawaii and hide out again, home on the North Shore, and hope you guys all advanced someday to the stage where we could all be bigger than that little pipsqueak and his farce of a church you all appear so afraid of,

AND GET ONTO A FAR BIGGER GAME. THE CURRENT ONE CANNOT BE REPAIRED…LRH BEGAN IT ON A PACK OF LIES AND THAT WHOLE HUGE GAME OF CARDS NEEDS TO ALL FALL DOWN…

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, IT CANNOT BE RESURRECTED…

THE GAME I’M INTERESTED IN HAS THE ELEMENTS OF TRUTH, HONESTY, FREE COMMUNICATION, RESPONSIBILITY, ETC ETC..

I believe this is where we all entered the current GAME I mention:
with love in our hearts and hope in our minds...

to poorly quote : the only fear we need to face and overcome, is the fear of fear itself.

love you all!

PEACE AND HARMONY TO ALL

No offense purple - but just gotta love scientologists and their endless including, excluding and paranoia.

I am not american

really? you came to the US from north America (mexico is part of the Americas). You live in a fabulous house in LA. You are a part of the woof and warp of the US (American) culture.

the only thing that sets you apart from real americans is that you speak two languages. No real american can even speak good English.

nuts, not squirells

Well I'm certainly not disconnecting from you!

What nutcase started a rumour that you were a COS plant?

No idea, Terrill.

Would like to out them, so the third party/gossip line could stop.

But hey, what the f..k, it is getting the word out of my mouth and to God's ear...

I am HEAVEN SENT [MANY HAVE TOLD ME SO, AND MANY MORE HAVE CALLED ME AN ANGEL...BUT I CAN BE, OH, SO VERY VERY BAD AND SOMETIMES I DO DESERVE A SPANKIE! LOL]

HEY, BB, YOU'RE OUR BEST INVESTI-GATOR AND I LOVE YOU DEARLY. PRETTY PLEASE, WOULD YOU FIND OUT FOR LITTLE OLE' ME?

AMEN! TO THAT

hopefully you'll visit us again soooon, bb. we need some of your brilliance over here. YAY!

Homer,

This is an article I have been unwilling to write up until this point. I
have been unwilling to write it because the data herein might give
certain individuals hidden standards which then might impede their case
gain. Having reviewed some of what has been written about
exteriorization, I thought it best that I share some of my personal
experience on the subject.

As an aside, I was assigned the task of cleaning up Old Dianeticists at
ASHO back in 1968, because apparently, I had a rapport with "Old Timers"
that many newer auditors didn't have.

"Drug" and "sex" experiences and 'experiments' "on the meter" or "in
session" were pretty much a common practice among many of the old-time
dianeticists, so I had the opportunity to clean up many "trained"
dianeticists, session and auditor ARC breaks, rehabs, and overt-withhold
phenomena.

They were all quite happy with the auditing and the out-come. I had
better than a 96% signup ratio, having handled more than fifty of these
guys, in 1968.

VARIOUS TYPES OF EXTERIORIZATION

1. OUT OF BODY - this is a state wherein the individual appears to self
as a collected spheric center of knowingness-awareness at a distance
from the body, looking at the body from across a distance in the
physical universe. Also known as "Spirit Travel" (but this state has
nothing to do with an 'astral plane'. This state is happening in the
"Physical Universe Now").

2. MULTIPLE OOB VIEWPOINTS - this state is similar to 1. above, however,
the individual appears to be viewing one or more spheric centers, each
with images of the physical universe in them, and each operating in a
slightly different time frame (shutter effect or strobe effect). My
experience with this state is that it has to do with other sentient
identities in and around the body, and self's 'telepathic' connection to
them.

3. "FLICKERING UNIVERSE" - this state has the individual out of the body
and experiencing time and motion in a jerky, 'frame-by-frame' manner. It
is simply out-of-body-but-not-really-tracking-with-the-physical
universe.

4. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE - this state has great numbers of phenomena
connected to it. It's ok but I prefer the standard OOB exteriorization
for day to day living, personally.

5. REDUCED TO AN ATOM - this exteriorization finds the individual
perceiving the universe from a minute viewpoint. Molecules take on the
size of planets, and this is definitely an inverted state, but can be
fun if you're into that kind of thing.

6. MAGNIFICENT GODHOOD - this exteriorization finds the entirety of the
physical universe encompassed by one and within one, such that this
galaxy appears as if it were a spot on the pinky nail of the hand. In
this state one perceives "all that is" as Self, knowingly and at cause.
The very best, almost.

7. GRAY VOID - this exteriorization appears as if all is but a gray,
darkling void. Viewpoints appears as shiny silver dots. Communication is
rapid and all pervasive. It is a benign state, but kind of "eh, so
what".

8. PUSHED OUT BY COGNITION - this state appears at the end of a major,
stable win (at least it has for me, on many occasions). One appears to
assume a size of about 12-15 feet, and the physical unverse takes on the
appearance of a doll house in proportion to self. Sort of "Alice In
Wonderland" big. It's ok, and kind of exhilarating.

9. RED SHIFT EXTERIORIZATION - this state finds one passing through
something which appears like a red laser beam. In so doing, one travels
across parallel universes. Once adept at this type of exteriorization,
one can "shift" from one universe, to a slightly "different" universe,
with contingent "changes" apparent. Sort of like small changes which
offer other alternatives.

10. THEY ARE ALL DEAD - I would assume that this state is what some
might call a "bad trip". In this state, one is out of the body and
perceives that all other bodies are simply automatons, with no beingness
attached, no beings in sight, and just these zombie bodies roaming
around. The upshot is that one comes to grips with the mortality of the
body. It could also be exteriorized into an implant. Good learning
experience.

11. CONNECTED TO ALL LIFE - In this state one can perceive the crying of
children in Somalia, the clicks, snorts and whistles of whales, your
next door neighbors making love, individuals dying in the Alsace,
rodents scrambling around in the basement, microbes and elephants, and
one "hears" all of it at the same time - quite distinctly, as if one had
a thousand pairs of ears, all hearing uniquely and specifically at the
same time. Requires confront and responsibility.

12. FLYING AROUND THE PLANET - in this state, one "moves" from one
location in the physical universe to another simply by will, intention,
postulate or whatever. Happened during Power, for me. And since then it
has been a fun thing, except once while outside, I slid my car into a
tree which was somehow in the middle of a city block. Not bad - caught
it in time, no blood, no harm, no foul - just a dented beak on a '68
Mustang, is all. Lesson learned was do this one, when in a stationary
location, not while driving a car.

I am not going to list them all out. I have experienced PERSONALLY, all
the above many times, except 10. which I only experienced once, and that
was at the end of doing a specific objective process for 8 hours. I
decided the process was either unflat or overrun, so we rehabbed it, and
I have not experienced that exteriorization again.

When I speak of exteriorization, I speak of being outside or away from
the body, perceiving it at a distance, and knowingly doing so.

You may add this to your archives if you desire.

I have stated what I am interested in stating within the confines of
this memo. I have nothing further to add.

Love,

LaMont Johnson

Yes, thanks for this. I had the pleasure of meeting LaMont shortly after I left the church around '82-83. To those who did not know, LaMont was not only a highly regarded "techie", he was an even more highly regarded jazz musician.

As I recall this one of his ....

Dear Gary,

By Tory's speaking out and holding a position of strength, and welcoming all these great people as they leave the insane asylum [CoS] she and you have inspired me to add my two sense here.

sorry i couldn't make it to the party last night and you chose not to go without me, even when I said to please take Johnny Raf and go and give them all my aloha!

being as i was Yvonne's first celeb auditor and never really on staff, but worked for CC for nearly 3 years, and was the first to help her at the very beginning of CC [ask Hana] etc...

I guess that's why I got uninvited at the last minute...

I wasn't true staff?!&$%#!

I've been told that possibly Hector and Spanky and even Tory herself may think I'm a plant for CoS!!!

*********I think it's possible that CoS would like to plant this idea in all their minds because they're so f-ked-up and play these nasty games with all the wonderful out-of-the-church folks... **********

I was never officially 'in' the church - just ask my x husband Ira Chaleff...

I was forced under extreme duress by Baron Barez to sign the ONE BILLION YEAR Sea Org contract: ask Neville Chamberlain about that one; and I've NEVER considered myself a Sea Org member.

in the past, I've been terribly out-spoken about how I think the CoS is messing up. [Remember, I excelled as a QUALITY CONTROL person within the Church itself! [ask Phil Spickler and check out his 7 U-tube videos excellently filmed by Tatianna herself, Goddess of Mercy.]

My in-your-face outspokenness ended and went underground when, for example: Having just returned from the Flagship, where I worked directly Ron, Ira turned me into the AOLA ethics officer in 1970 for saying something against the way the Church was running things [for instance, turning Alan Walters over to the IRS], with the resulting effect that I went storming out of the AO reception, and the rest is herstory. In other words, I made a planned escape and slowly and discretely made my way OUT.

You guys all were still involved when I SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL and no one wanted to hear the truth, so I gracefully extricated myself from the lot of you true believers and moved home to Hawaii in 1977 [for the next 28 years] to get away from all the insanity.

My only Scn friends were Alan Walter [who visited me in Hawaii regularly over the years; wined and dined me in his very lovely fashion] and kept me apprised of all the goings on over the phone, as it all occurred,point by point, and you all got declared,[ including big pin Alan, May he rest in peace] etc ... ... [other names I won’t mention since they’re still alive and well, still surviving the mockery that has befallen Scientology.]

TO THE SCIENTOLOGY WORLD, BOTH IN AND OUT AND INDIE and someplace in between:

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO SIT BY AND SEE IT ALL HAPPENING BEFORE MY VERY EYES AND NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST WON'T LISTEN AND WILL TURN A BLIND EYE?

i AM NOT THE F--KING PLANT! i AM THE CHURCH'S WORST NIGHTMARE.

I AM A SOOTHSAYER FROM WAY BACK AND I SPEAK THE TRUTH AS I SEE IT...

SO, YOU ALL CAN EXCLUDE ME, AND BE JUST LIKE THE COS, AND DISCONNECT FROM ME, BECAUSE, SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS.

BUT, HOW DO WE CHANGE THE EXISTING SITUATION IF WE ARE ALL JUST SWEETLY STICKING OUR HEADS IN THE SAND?

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! I AM NOT THE ENEMY. DO YOU GET IT YET?

HOLLY, ETC, ETC, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND, BLESS HER SOUL, CATHY CARIOTAKI, MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.. .... [LUCKILY SHE AND I WERE ABLE TO CLEAN UP THAT UPSET AT SYLVIA CALHOUN'S PARTY JUST BEFORE CATHY PASSED]...

have I got your attention? That rumor that I was the plant from CoS, 4 years ago, nearly did me in...

I was ready to go back to Hawaii and hide out again, home on the North Shore, and hope you guys all advanced someday to the stage where we could all be bigger than that little pipsqueak and his farce of a church you all appear so afraid of,

AND GET ONTO A FAR BIGGER GAME. THE CURRENT ONE CANNOT BE REPAIRED…LRH BEGAN IT ON A PACK OF LIES AND THAT WHOLE HUGE GAME OF CARDS NEEDS TO ALL FALL DOWN…

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, IT CANNOT BE RESURRECTED…

THE GAME I’M INTERESTED IN HAS THE ELEMENTS OF TRUTH, HONESTY, FREE COMMUNICATION, RESPONSIBILITY, ETC ETC..

I believe this is where we all entered the current GAME I mention:
with love in our hearts and hope in our minds...

to poorly quote : the only fear we need to face and overcome, is the fear of fear itself.

love you all!

PEACE AND HARMONY TO ALL

YOU, my dear, and others like you such as Alan, Kemps, etc., were what was GOOD about the scientology organization. The official church organization was & remains largely for "wankers".
