Time For An End To Ghostly Intolerance

According to Jim Meskimen, son of Marian Ross of Happy Days fame, people are prejudiced against ghosts. Stop grinning like that. This is serious. In fact, antipathy towards the disembodied is so egregious that “It’s a planet-wide epidemic against anyone who happens to have committed the crime of being alive.” Meskimen states “Antipathy, fear or […]

Ron Hubbard would one day return, pick the reins back up and continue to lead them ad infinitum. For Scientologists, all the words […]
