&quot;...there might be a relation between affinity,reality and communication.&quot; I think there is a relationship between most everything in the universe but that is not relevant to your point that I was responding to, that Pete was &quot;proving Hubbard right.&quot;]]></description>

These are all different things, Free Minds.

No, he wasn&#039;t proving Hubbard right,  He was making fun of Hubbard.  Just because scientologists are bad at communication, out of touch with reality, and not good with friendship/getting along with others doesn&#039;t mean Hubbard is right.  It actually means the tech doesn&#039;t work, or the OTs and Clears would be good at all three.]]></description>

&quot;I have had several people report that they have recently been getting far fewer calls to try to get them to events than in the past.&quot;

I wish this was true for me, John. Since I was on staff and had some trainingauditing in the past, they are after me like white on rice. I must get at least 4 to 6 calls a week. The calls are bizarre. I&#039;m getting calls from Bridge Publications, Flag and California. Bridge never called me before. That&#039;s new. One call was thanking me for buying the Basics, which of course never did. I&#039;ve been out of the cult for 24 years, but they managed to track me down even after I moved. I&#039;m constantly getting letters from Sea Org who have no idea who I am, but think they can use &#039;fair roads, fair weather&#039; tactics to convince me to come back. I receive promo on a weekly basis, including those expensive glossy ones they send out quarterly. What a waste of paper. But the are relentless.

Yesterday, I was feeling frustrated over something personal. I received a call from the cult and decided to take the call instead of ignoring it. I took out my frustration on the cultist and tore him a new asshole. Poor guy. He never knew what hit him. I seriously doubt I&#039;ll receive a call from him again. But then again...they are desperate.]]></description>
