One story of the origins of Scientology goes as follows.
Ron Hubbard, the founder, was having a drink with the boys and shooting the
breeze about religion and Ron said "Anybody can start a religion. I could
start a religion." "Bet you can't." "Bet I can." Ron won the bet.

I'm a lurker but I thought I'd throw my $0.02 worth in here. While I'm a
manager by trade I have an interest in alternative belief systems and the
organisational culture of cults and fringe sects. From my studies, I would

Chris' information is pertinent. I object to your attempt (IMO) to
discredit his efforts to share relevant and important information. To
use your rhetorical device: Surely you're not attempting to silence
criticism of the Scientologists?
You state that, in your opinion, one should not
Dear Robert and f/w friends, all,
Thanks in abundance for this.
I strongly agree that a 'pre-design' analysis of values is worth doing.
(I've a values-selection list that I could e-send in this vein.)
A complimentary approach that I've played with is to craft a 'Needs-Based'
analysis, which mi
Dear Bill and f/w friends,
Thanks, also, in abundance for this.
Firstly, I *absolutely* agree that we need to move from the concept (legally
enforced!) of 'Ownership' to one of 'Stewardship.'

Secondly, thanks Bill (Bill? William? Will?) for completing the

My guess might be that few of us see capitalism as *the* last word in social
