laugh as well Stan, not going to make much difference to my life at all , I have one sister left I doubt we'd be very close even if we were never Dubs, my life has been devoid of having to lead a life that includes petty stupid small mindedness that encompasses what I was a member of for over 20 years and I've done OK

why did you and your old buddy have to include us poor mere mortals in your dick waving competition? couldn't you have done it in some far flung corner of the universe and let your creation just get on with their lives without having to endure for 1000's of years of utter desperate hardships? and how much longer is this pointless, childish,selfish and utterly ridiculous dick waving competition going to go on for? dont you think we've suffered long enough FFS? -

Almost three months since Crisis of Conscience Cease and Desist
by ILoveTTATT2 ini am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.
march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.
i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.

Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?
by stephanie61092 inthis is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

no not at all, they went on for too long, the content was usually boring and not intellectually stimulating, the standard of speaking from the platform was usually dreadful sometimes interspersed with a decent entertaining speaker, but as The Great Teacher said they certainly make you deal with periods of boredom in the most imaginative way, I wonder why it took the dipshits at HQ decades to suddenly wonder that huge indifference, missing them,dwindling participation in FS etc was the cue that it might be time to do something radical eg removing the CBS, reducing the content, reducing pioneer hour rates etc? their stupid so called schedule of worshipping model remained unchanged for decades, surely more changes are to come. -

I had the same scenario when I faded I hadn't attended any meetings/FS whatsoever for some time I believe the CO was called Anthony Kendall, never met the guy before, my wife spoke to him and he had agreed to want to meet with me, I had heard he was a decent one not like to two jumped up idiots before him, I declined. -

Chelmsford is an Asbestos Dump
by Slidin Fast inthe dubsters in the uk are being taken for such a ride.. on one side they have prime land and property to sell in north london worth many millions of uk pounds.. on the other they have bought a contaminated site used for years of illegal dumping.
one of the main contaminants is asbestos.
it will take volunteer labour months simply to remove the toxic material.
