::::so others cannot read it. that will cause a best-seller blip
Does not make sense. The publisher will just print more.:::they we accused of buying and reselling Ron's books on a massive scale to get on the best-seller lists
That is true and old news. Old story was that Barnes and Noble bought Dianetics. When the books arrived, it had the B&N sales sticker on them already.
What happened? Church members would go and buy the books to boost the sales.
For this book, that logic does not work, or make sense.
Great idea...but this won't work.
A new battery would require some redesign. All of this would need FAA & EU (forget the agency name) approval.
That would take at least 8-12 months.
Boeing wants the 787 flying in weeks.
Take a peek at the Amazon.com page for this book, as of the morning of 29 JAN 13, there are 53 customer reviews, categorised as:
5 star - 42 4 star - 5 3 star - 1 2 star - 1 1 star – 4
In the ‘old days’, Scientology would have had all their people write 1-star reviews of this book.
I think this does show that the power of Scientology, the same organization that brought the IRS to its knees, is waning.
Maybe there are not that many blokes left there.
::One thing this review does give me is more appreciation for the skill and effort needed for writing book reviews. It's difficult to do well, and perhaps not everyone can do it.
Agreed.
But this is Slashdot, not the Economist, New Yorker...you know what I mean.
::It just seems like he didn't bother to proofread the review.
He made a comment that it was rushed.
But do agree that it is more important to focus on the message then the grammar, syntax, etc.

I think a major difference is that if you do not have money to pay for auditing, which is a fundamental part of Scientology, then you can go nowhere.
Go to a church/mosque/synagogue/temple without money, and you can still be part of the prayers.
Slashdot Mirror
Check out the youtube video of the Church and how they destroyed the Cult Awareness Network (CAN). The litigated CAN to bankruptcy.
If this occurs in China, not sure it is malware.
The Devil can answer...
thank you.
Interesting tool. I am planning to write a script for an online version. Do you know if anyone already did that?
Very easy...just add Alka Selzer. Plop plop fizz fizz...there goes my data!~
The church keeps Miscavige out of sight. If he were on Nighline or 60 Minutes; they would make minced meat out of him.

FAA approval is very specific. Very time consuming. Very costly. VERY SLOW :(
:) Perl will be around for decades...just like Cobol.

Yes! Person w/ 10 years experience vs. the person w/ no experience but a Phd...which is better? No question, the one with real world experience.
Hearing about those wild things would require even MORE auditing :)
A pure win/win for them, more profits Commodore!
But of the movement is on the way down, like others have said, there will be no CoS in 200-500 years.

Interesting...thank you.
Great point! I hate these 'cyber' this and cyber that terms... Silly and confusing.
:::Does anybody still care about Scientology? They do not reveal their membership. But if real estate is an indicator, then they are the kings.
Sorry, but what or who is 'Jains'?

No one would say that ALL religions have not done bad things. But with Scientology, it seems like it is much more pervasive.
What's your problem w/ the review?
