i don't know all the details, i'm just paraphrasing what i've heard and recognize that it's a concern to some people.. i want to first of all put people's minds at rest: i've been running this site for what will be 13 years next month.
@ Simon - Thanks for all you do and continue to do on the site. It's vitally important to many.

i love this topic.... stole it from a female talk radio host dr. sonia freeman in the chicago area decades ago.
think and post a creative (not damaging, violent, or illegal) action that would piss off those who shun us.
here is an example: many years ago when my hubby was still an elder he collected the mail for the kh.
Is anyone making Sparlock figurines? I'd order one!

i found it a very interesting read.
the article was linked on one of my fav websites digg.
Sorry OldHippie but I feeol you are dead wrong.
I actually spoke to the author of the article she is very nice, and she is the real deal. She authored a longtime podcast on what it's like to go to China, how to survive as a westerner, learning the language, etc.
On what basis do you say the whole thing is made up?
