I enjoyed reading your thread on parallels of wierwille and Hubbard. I watched the “going clear” documentary when it first came out on HBO (I think) and later bought the dvd, the book on which it’s based and then a few other books on Scientology. But I still love to hear other folks’ take on that stuff. “Great” cults do think alike...more like group-think, that is.
I appreciate your honesty and how you’ve been developing critical thinking skills - those things resonate with me...since I’ve been coming to Grease Spot I’ve felt that much of my belief system is in a state of flux - yeah in many ways I’d probably qualify as a member of “the Church of I don’t know “ myself...on that note, you might want to check out a thread in doctrinal forum titled “Concerning the Bible” - if you feel so inspired by all means please share something of your journey... I find the things that folks say about their journey away from group-think is inspirational...fascinating...enlightening...
Hey since this is a cafe can I get a piece of pie with that coffee? LOL that is a memory of Auglaize and Shelby counties- little luncheonettes that ran afternoon "Pie and Coffee" specials, with a bunch of farmers sitting around the counter.
Sure - look over the desert menu - and the pie and coffee is on me...I’m waiting for Grease Spot to hire a Starbucks barista so I can order a caramel macchiato...who needs pie when you can have it mixed in your coffee - for Grease Spotters on the go.
LOL, remember Steve Martin in "The Jerk" eating his Cup O' Pizza? Pie in a cup- it's the natural progression for Grease Spotters on the go.
Pizza in a Cup !!!!!
I also love the carnival scene of him as The Guesser and the way he severely limits the choice of prizes.
“The Jerk” is one of my wife and I’s all time favorites...when we were in TWI it was one of our go-to references when we wanted to lighten up a situation....that and Steve’s comedy CDs too.

Kathy, you gotta watch that T-Bone. He'll have you sputtering with laughter over your coffee in no time.
By the way, T-Bone. We left the "desert menu" behind (thank God), and snack out on "desserts" now.
I'll have apple pie and ice cream, please.

Ahem ahem ...(regains composure) Oh really?
Well, if you don’t mind - please be honest during the identity verification process:
Question #1: Do you think Blues music is depressing?
Question #2: Do you prefer a tuna fish sandwich, Twinkies and a Tab for your birthday meal?
