Where the hell did January go? I think it might have been buried in snow and I missed it.
Or it decided you were a bad little boy and skipped your house this year. @=)

Sadly that is the most likely explanation.
Time for the last 3 or 4 months has been flying by and dragging at the same time.

Funny. I always thought that Hubbard had written Scientology related books. Looks like this one is focused on other topics.I read that as: he wasn't always a nut..
He was never a nut, he was a fraud. Scientology was invented as a bet between two SF authors.
Do I smell a religious discrimination here on the Thread? It's not my religion but there are people who believe that stuff.
I've heard the story from people who were there when the bet was made, it is a widely known story. If Steve asks me to delete the comment, I will.
Until Mr. Hubbard complains, the comment can stand.

That reminds me. I enjoyed Mission Earth. Should turn my son onto that one.

Don't worry about religious discrimination on the subject. We're used to it.

The main reason I offer to delete it is that the Church of Scientology can be quite litigious and I don't want to endanger this forum.

The bet was supposedly made between Hubbard and Heinlein (they were friends). Both denied it ever happened. Time magazine swears it did. That's the most common version I've heard.

Well, Joe still has his rhetoric, but it seems to have been toned down quite a bit. Almost an attempt to be humorous about it.

He really seems to be making an effort. Good to see!

I was already wondering why my mail inbox was suddenly spammed with "the thread notifications". 😀

Is that a religion now? 😛 😀

I guess I'll appologize for being too sensitive. Again, Scientology isn't my religion but I do belong to a religion that does get bashed a lot. I spent 6 months in a job listening to everyone around me bash on that religion. None of my coworkers knew that I belonged to that religion. Most of what they said was based on stereo types and misinformation, some of it was probably right on. For the most part they just had problems with religion in general not just my specific religion. Overtime they figured out what religion I belonged to and the bashing stopped because of who I was.
After that time I made a decision that whenever I heard someone criticising religion I'd atleast step up and say something. I've studied many different religions and have come to realize that any religion has it's nuts (fanatical people), funky beliefs and things that are hard to except for people that don't hold the same value/belief system.

I usually don't have a problem with religions.
It's their fanclubs I can't stand 😀 (what you refer to as fanatic people)
But in my opinion: religion <> sects
