The areas of the cult which have always had the most freedom are the Missions. It has only been in the last 15 years that the missions have come under the iron fisted rule of Miss Cabbage. (aka the poodle) If there is to be reform in the cult it will be demanded by the franchise holders who get sick of all the bad PR being caused by poodleboy and OSA. The org staff and C-orgers are just too used to following orders. They'll go down with the ship. On second thought, the franchise holders probably've got their noses stuck deep in the poodle's orifice, just hoping the asthmatic dwarf won't turn around and bark his ferocious little bark at *them*. >He's shut down dozens - the first major step he took after seizing control >was to destroy what had been a very successful network of missions world- >wide and excommunicate every successful mission holder. That's how it happened, folks. Anybody that might talk back to the rabid little yapping mutt was hounded out of the religion. Oh, poodleboy ... You better stock up on Preparation H. We're comin' to gitcha! Off you go to the barry place. And don't pick up the soap if you drop it in the prison shower. You're gonna make some con a lovely wife, slimeball. +--------------------------------------+ Rev. Dennis L Erlich * * the inFormer * * dennis.l.erlich@support.com + inForm@primenet.com "tar baby"
