I agree. All con men talk a good game, so if there is “something good” in LRH’s “work”, it’s because he stole it, renamed and re-branded it.

This is a known phenomenon.
There are many cases of this. Women being held in basements for many years, kidnapped as children. They are raped, abused, even bear children, and told that the outside world is really bad. They are under “undue influence”. It’s horrific, but it’s real.

I hadn’t thought about the minimum wage implications. I see more legal arguments that CO$ might use if sued for minimum wage stuff. Tax exemption would cost the ‘chirch’ 38% of income (corporate rate). I still just see them flogging the staff to make up income differences, though paying taxes would cut the profit margin a lot.

Great story. Here is a site you may find interesting. It records and plays pronunciation of words from dozens of languages. For English, listen to words such as “route, Missouri”, and words with suffixes like “ing.” I’ve been involved…http://www.forvo.com/ Interesting is how there are pockets of New England who speak some words similarly to those in the Southwest.

Nah, I’m too J&D for over there.
