Ho hum, Church Doctrine.  Please, turn off the tape recorder, Mr.
Boswell.  I don't need you to tell me that the Church tells you that
you accept things on their own terms.

Anyway, you haven't done OT3 yet, have you?  Have you done any of the
OTs (or NOTs)?

How many of your close acquaintances are not affiliated with the
Chruch?  And how often do you see your Ethics Officer?

What beliefs?  You don't even know what my beliefs are.  For that
matter, neither do I.

>I have nothing against squirrels.  Why do you insinuate that I do?
>Or do you just enjoy generalizing to help your own case?

Then why did the Church issue directives to "Stamp Out Squirrels"?
