Yes and no. There is such a thing as a dangerous cult, and there's also such a thing as a totally harmless new and/or tiny religious group. Many researchers have done work on how to tell the difference, and created tools like this questionnaire to tell the difference (Disclaimer: The author of that questionnaire, the late Isaac Bonewits, was a close friend of many people I'm acquainted with). And yes, the official Church of Scientology rates very badly in nearly all of those measurements.

Step one, outsource everything

Several things explain an 18 yr old in leadership position quite adequately.

1. "Broken oath of office." (FIOS Splitters, Failure to regulate the monetary sys, Torture, Spying, data hacking, fucking bs, hell on earth pain weapons, and abuse of electronics and physics, or training young minds with unconstitutional bullshit)

2. "Brainwashed Propaganda Replacing the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights" (MIAC REPORT, UN, UNEP, IMF, IPCC, TC, PNAC, AIPAC, CFR, CARBON TAX/POPULATION CONTROL (un/unep/ipcc/imf), FLORIDE(local), VACCINES(cdc/who/local), AND A ZILLION OTHER CORPORATIONS YOU'D BEST MAKE SURE YOUR FUCKIN CANDIDATE ISN'T AFFILIATED WITH, ALONG WITH THE DANGEROUS CORPORATE MEDIA CULT OWNING 90% OF THE FUCKING PUBLIC SPECTRUM-SHITTING ON YOUR INTELLIGENCE)

3. "Corruption protected by State Secrets" catch 22, and "No Expedited, Clearly Written Procedures, for taking out a Oath Breaker" (not to be confused with this never-ending-unconstitutional-undeclared-fucking-invisible-war-on-terror)

If your a Commercial Broadcast Station, your part of the largest most dangerous cult on Earth and all you spew is fascist propaganda, and "psyop fluff noise" to keep the public from being informed about the real shit that fuckin matters.

If your a Representative, your an OATH BREAKER
(an exception for Ron Paul and Kucinich - except what does it matter? In an age of electronic vote tabulation devices which have broken the chain of custody, elections are now whatever bullshit officials say they are)

If your a Corporation, your the new Mafia, except you use soft weapons to kill now.

Which brings us to HOW do they do this?

BANKS.

How do they get away with it?

Senators broke their OATH OF OFFICE
Senators of BOTH "(R) and (D)"

You have NO representation.
Your Senator doesn't give a fuck what you say.
You can't vote em out cause the media makes them be the only one on your ballot, and the electronic vote tabulation devices do the rest.

Our family uses the disposable swabs. Both the allergy and the cold swabs, not the spray for several years now. Nobody has this problem. But it has shortened colds. And helped with allergies. (None of us use any nose sprays by any brand)

Before we all go off the deep end and get's yet another "alternative cure" (regardless if you agree or disagree it's a cure) banned in lieu of big pharmacist, expensive drugs, big hospital bills, questionable safety in our vaccinations, all while having no health care, and a government which has welfare for banksters, warfare and surveillance.

Ever think this might be purposely targeted so you'll have no cure to specially crafted bugs which accidentally escape super labs?
I don't know that it is, or isn't and I ain't trying to be paranoid, I am just throwing the idea out there, cause I'm fucking sick and tired of the lies that come from my government, to the point where I don't trust anything they fucking say anymore. Which leaves me with validating facts on my own. The media has literally become a dangerous cult.

I don't know about you, but I am not willing to give up a product which frankly worked fine for my family several years now, in exchange for a Goebbels Media pushing a fucking "Prescription for America" when no opposing views including Single Payer were allowed in discussions.

The debate about if it's homeopathy or not, I don't care. It's a political narco profit motivated fascist argument. You go ahead and waste several million or billion on such nonsense and it's research, legal fights, and bureaucracy.
Keep in mind they are already trying to fuck with the codex.

I am much more simple.
I go by if the fucking thing works or not.

In OUR family's case zicam swabs (Cold and Allergy) works just fine, no loss of smell. We also followed the instructions carefully.

I can't speak to the spray.

We also use oil of oregano, and many other food supplements.

Of course all this is my opinion, and as it should be implied. Ask your friends and neighbors if they have problems. Not what they hear on the tv, you want to know first hand experience and use and results. There lay the answer, we don't need all this FDA, DHS, ATF crap, it's already too fucking big and too expensive!

Turn the tv off.

Be that as it may, I suggest take an honest assessment of your chosen religion's (or any other religion's) practices by evaluating it against the Advanced Bonewits Cult Danger Evaluation Frame> . I think you'll be surprised as to how high many 'mainstream' religious organizations score against this particular evaluation, which is founded in sound, modern psychological theories about mental health and personal growth.

that said, there are some say there are some dangers to be found in the "church" .. theres a good essay by Issac Bonewits (founder of the largest neo-druid orginization in america) at http://www.neopagan.net/SatanicAdventure.html

Anyway .. I'm not actually supporting Satanism .. just supporting knowledge

Namaste, Blessings from somewhere... Peace out,

Pagan Meetup Group...All I can say is WTF?

Uhhh...

• this,
• this,
• this, and
• this

Next is a vegan meetup group with a whole 3 members. I see no interest in meeting with people based on what I eat. What's next? A steak eaters group?

I like to meet other vegans: swap recipies, talk about retaurants, where to find good non-leather shoes, etcetera. But more importantly, I prefer to date vegetarian women. :-)

I'd rather just hang with normal people, TY.

How boring. I prefer the company of interesting people, stimulates the brain.

Go check out the link from my previous post on this thread. Or try going here, and jumping to the website ratings and warnings section. I like the idea of filters like RSACi or SafeSurf, which have the ability to differentiate between a chicken breast recipe, a breastfeeding mother, naked breasts in a work of art, naked breasts in Playboy, and a man with a breast fetish doing X-rated things to them. :)

I don't know as much about CyberPatrol, but I do know that CyberSitter has done a lot of very stupid things: blocking an entire site for hosting a gay square dance page, making "mistress" a not-allowed word (webmistresses and listmistresses take note!), blocking any use of the phrase "Don't Buy CyberSitter," messing with TCP streams at a level that makes it possible for programs to break, and threatening/e-mailbombing folks who disagree with any of the above. Lovely way to run a business, folks. :P

When my new page is up (I'm moving off of GeoCities as soon as I have the time, energy, and a decent computer to get everything restructured), I'm rating with RSACi, SafeSurf, and VCR. I *know* I've got a lot of at-least-PG13 stuff on my pages, and forewarned is forearmed and all that, but by the same token, any kid old enough to read the original Chronicles of Amber is probably old enough to deal with the contents of my web site. :)
