There were many who observed this last year.  I am proposing
another truce for Christmas Day this year.

Happy Holidays,
Sassie

================================================

In keeping with Bev's Holiday wishes I would like to extend a
proposal to everyone who posts here.

Could we have a Christmas Day truce on ars?  Part of the
observance of the holiday is the occasion to spend time with
family and friends. I'm sure everyone one us has someone
who would value our companionship for that day.

Seasons Greetings,
Sassie

Hypocrite.
10:45PM Thur night, 12/19.  7 vehicles at the big org, 1 at the little
org.  Next Wed, 12/24, Christmas Eve, 10:45 at night, both orgs will
be open again.  Thursday, 12/25, Christmas Day, both orgs will open
and close at regular business hours.

Luck you, you get to spend time with family and friends.  Staff
members nation wide *must* come in for another day of business.

So what is going to happen Christmas Eve, and Christmas day between
8pm and 11pm?  Why are these orgs open?  They might sell a book?  Is
that it?

Scientology is compatible with Christianity.  Or so it is claimed.
This year, more than any other, scientology will be noticed.

Did you ever think to shut the orgs down on the one big Christian
Holiday that comes each year?  Just shut them down.  Perhaps fool the
Christian Wogs.  Perhaps make them think... something???

But no, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day it will be business as usual
for a scientology org.  Because scientology, except for the hypocrisy
of some hidden people, does not honor Christmas.

There are Stats and there is GI.  And no silly holiday will interrupt
that.  <sigh>

If possible I'll do a vehicle count Christmas Eve.
Or maybe I'll give them a call and ask if now is a good time to come
in and purchase a Comm Course.

Sassie, no truce will stop news stories on Lisa from coming through.  

PS.  10:45pm the little org is *still* open for business in a poor and
dangerous neighborhood.  The only other two stores open anywhere near
the CC are a 7-11 and a Liquor Store.  They are both a block away.
Nothing else is open.  It really is quite sad.
I'd love to know the Stat for merchandise sold between 10-11pm at
night.  You people are sick.

Name one. I don't remember any 'truce' during last years' solstice, or the
one before. Deja News shows 179 articles in ARS dated 25 December 1996. Most
of the usual suspects posted.

If things got quiet during the holidays it was because it was the holidays.
I doubt I'll be on the net on December 25, but that's because I'll be
spending time with my family, and most likely pissed (that's drunk for the
English-challenged). Then again, I might just take the opportunity to
introduce a few relatives to my hobby and show them around a few web sites.
A permanent Internet connection is a Wonderful Thing.

   Count me out. There are too many people, including Lisa McPherson, who are
not around to celebrate Christmas because of $cientology.
   No cease fire until they stop hurting people, no cease fire until they
renounce their psuedo medical claims.
   No cease fire as long as they have the "Isolation Run-Down."

I'll do it, but only if CoS gives org staff the day off.

Otherwise, it doesn't mean jack doodly.

WTF?

If I'm tired of ARS, I just don't read the group for a day or a week.  
Participation here is voluntary[1], you know.

[1]  Unless you're a member of a nut-cult with a billion-year contract and
you're
assigned to write RonsAmigo posts all day.

Is ARS a game of tit for tat?--that we could give it a break?

This is a one-sided effort to expose a Fraud.  That OSA is here directing
their spite at us is their effort at disruption, and does not define ARS as
a two-sided battle.  The Battlefield is Earth, and ARS is the Press.
Exposure of the fraud is to happen whether or not we have hecklers in our
midst.

We have never waited for their tit before we issued a tat.  Your offer is a
distortion of our purpose.  If we have cognitions without publishing them,
then the cognition itself relieves some of our outrage.  Having experienced
this relief, we won't feel the cause to publish it later.  Toss it while it
boils.

Are you doing Liability Condition?--and this is your "blow against the
enemy"?

OSA never considered they were participating here.  They have to make their
feeble jabs so they won't get assigned to the Scientology Penitentiary--the
RPF.

Your offer reduces duty to convenience.  If you want to slack-off, just do
it.  If you're afraid you'll miss something then don't go away.

Show me evidence that the vicious criminal cult of Scientology is allowing
"Christmas truces" under its "disconnect orders."

Fuckin' aye.

Alan makes an excellent point.  There is a huge group of
unseen, unheard victims of the tactics of the CoS.  I, myself,
had the false concept, inculcated early on, of the destructive
nature of anybody who criticized Scientology.  As a result,
I did try to limit my children's exposure to their grandparents.

The practice of "disconnect"ing is *rarely*, *rarely* used
anymore.  These days would see more of a passive
disconnect than an overt, vocal statement of
disconnection.  This passe policy was seen as a real
PR destroyer, as was "Fair Game", sometime in the
late '70's, IIRC.  Both are still used, but are not openly
stated as such when they are.

Fellow Christians can have and have had truces on Christmas Day.  This is
because they see in each other a commonality, and can throw away any political
or idealogical differences for that one day because of the commonality.

Scientologists, however, by order of policy by L. Ron Hubbard, cannot feel that
commonality for their "avowed and knowing enemies", real or imagined.  As a
matter of fact, it anyone is declared "suppressive" by the organization, the
*ONLY* person he/she is allowed to communicate with in Scientology, is the
person holding the post of International Justice Chief in Clearwater, Florida.

Scientologists *should* be able to feel that commonality with _all_ people:
suppressives, wogs, scientologists -- everybody; if they were following their
policy of the Eight Dynamics.  But they would prefer to separate from the rest
of society by continuing the practices of attacking and suing critics,
declaring people, RPF'ing Staff members, liability formulas, etc.; which
*violate* the basic principles upon which all of Scientology was based, such as
the Overt/Motivator Sequence, Eight Dynamics and ARC Triangle.

For this reason, a truce with Scientology would be a one sided truce:  as we
walk across the field of battle to shake hands with them, they'll be walking
toward us from their side with weapons carefully concealed, waiting for the
perfect moment to rid the world of what they consider to be the lowest forms
inhabiting it: the SP's.

No Truce!

NoGoot!

I'll cut ya a deal.  Your part of the truce will be not to
log on and read ARS, thus saving yourself the stress on
'christmas' day (a meaningless holiday to Scientology),
and my part of the truce will be to provide a lot of
postings that you won't have to read.  Happy?
