Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies.  I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report.  -  Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

>Thought itd be fun to share some of the most embarrassing moments we all
experience. Heres mine:

>When I was 7 years old on the Apollo in 1968 I was holding the post of
Commodores Messenger. Basically, Id run messages from or to Ron from all
over the ship.

>For some reason I was in a condition of Liability, grey rag and all, and
if you are in lowers you arent allowed to eat with the rest of the crew.
It was getting late and I was starving! Dinner was still an hour away.

>I was called to deliver a message to Ron. I had to climb up a long ladder
to the Bridge and as I needed both of my hands I put the message in my
mouth. Somehow by the time I got to the top it was all soggy so I bit off
the edges where it was the worst.

>I guess I bit off too much, because that night over the loudspeaker the
Rocks and Shoals (condition assigments etc..) were read and I heard the
following: <<Mark Pope is hereby assigned a condition of Doubt for eating
the Commodores message>>

>Ugh... :-)))

>Anyone beat that?

>Mark Pope
