I guess by now I’ve done enough explaining (on another thread) as to why I choose to turn a deaf ear to certain topics. I can do more explaining, later, if I believe someone wants to listen to more detail. My decision to ignore these certain is quite deliberate, and I did it only after considering, for a large number of years, the same types of things that GS discusses. I’m not trying to pull any rank, it’s just an accident of history that I had to deal with all this ten years before all you did. In addition, I have had the opportunity, more than most, to review not only all the usual GS info, but I’ve also had the opportunity to ponder in great detail the positive side, the tape/print record of Dr’s. I have no wife nor children, and my job usually allows me tons of free time.

After weighing more data than most of you, and after having more time to sift through it all than most of you, I feel confident in rejecting your unanimity on all these negative subjects regarding VPW. This is not a glassy eyed hero worshiper type of a decision. It’s a decision that I knew was very unpopular and that I’d loose friends over. I even lost a wife over it. How many of you stand up to disapproval like this? How many of you really stood up to the abuses as you saw your fellow believers getting trounced by the Corps Gestapo? Or did you wait until you, yourself were a victim before you got angry? Did you speak up before they kicked you out, or did you only speak up at a time and place where you were safe, like far from of TWI and in the approving arms of GSers?

I was a very lone and lonely voice against the problems in the ministry and I learned to ignore the disapproval of corrupt minded leadership. Well corrupt minded leadership rises up in any and every human organization, so if you don’t start learning to go against the stream here in GS, then you’ll get bit in the butt again.

So, here are the topics I deliberately ignore now that I’ve made my decision based on careful consideration of the facts and the truths: sex scandals, plagiarism, weather reports.... the list goes on, but these are the items that most GSers seem to get hung up on. With that said, I’m going to continue making the data available to those who want it.

This may seem strange, but Dr. Wierwille's very last teaching was lost. In the non-Corps grad population about 99% of the people are entirely unaware of Dr's final instructions to us all. I've done a poll. In the Corps and clergy population, many more know about it, but they dismissed it as unimportant and hid it from all the rest of us, and then went on to forget about it.

Most grads think Dr's very last teaching was "The Hope" but this is not true. In the coming days more details will be forthcoming, but you can talk amongst yourselves until I have time to get back to my computer. Some of you already know about the loss of this teaching. Talk it up. I'll return soon with what I've found out after five years of researching it.
