I just saw on Jeff Hawkins' blog that we can order his book now.

He has a nice blog entry about it here:

Jeff has an icredible talent for the written word. His original blog, upon which the book is based, makes me cry whenever I have occassion to re-read it.

That's great news, Glibby!

I'm about halfway through the web book. It's not only bad in the obvious ways we all know about, but bad in how they take their best and brightest -- people who love Scientology and work their tails off to make it succeed -- and destroy them.

I'll bet if Scientology just stopped being horrible to people: Let them have kids and stay married, let them take days off, let them get medical care and paid them at least minimum wage, they probably would have the ten million members they claim. And a lot bigger coffers!

Example: Thirty years ago, if you were able to leave Russia, you would NEVER return. But now if you leave, you happily go back. Why? Because it's no longer oppressive.

This would be one book I would like to read. Jeff seems from afar to be a very talented individual.

I received my copy and the acknowledgements alone made me cry.
