behind this?
Because he was a useless, harassing user who seemed to be about 15 years old. But that's just my humble opinion. Probably the Mods had a much
better reason. No big loss.
Hey, have you guys heard of Discordianism?
en.wikipedia.org...
The foundational document of Discordianism is the Principia Discordia, fourth edition, written by Malaclypse The Younger (most likely an alias of
Greg Hill). This book contains many references to an earlier source, The Honest Book of Truth (HBT). From the quotations, the HBT seems to be
arranged like the Bible, consisting of verses grouped into chapters grouped into books grouped into the HBT itself. The Principia includes (on page
00041) a large portion of (or possibly all of) a chapter of "The Book of Explanations" which recounts how the HBT was revealed to Lord Omar Khayyam
Ravenhurst (believed by many to be Kerry Thornley). It may be worth noting that the tale of the discovery of the HBT contains many similarities
to the tale of the discovery of the Book of Mormon, and that Thornley had been a Mormon. It also includes (on page 00030) part of the next chapter,
telling how the HBT was taken by a garbage collector, who refused to return it.
...Anyway, recently Kerry Thornton's book
"The Dreadlock Recollections" was made available for
free in .PDF format. This book is very interesting for a lot of reasons. In it, Kerry Thornton recollects precise conversations he had in 1963 with
a character he calls "Brother-in-law" or "Gary Kirstein". It is Mr. Thornton's opinion that this person he remembers, is
E Howard Hunt Jr. of the Watergate conspiracy and the overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz, the elected
president of Guatemala.
But what's really interesting and relevant to this thread, is this snippet from the book, which you can find at the link below:

"Kerry, there are some people called Scientologists who want to create a society based on human sacrifice. Did you realize that?"
"Slim has mentioned them. That's L. Ron Hubbard's new religion, isn't it? But he didn't say they were into human sacrifice."
"Well, they are. And it would be a good idea for you to keep that in mind. You might be in a position to keep them from taking over someday."
Anyway, I thought this was interesting and I hope any Scienos will not think I am dissing Elron with this. Just thought it might provide good
reading. The book is very interesting and although this quote seems a bit out of context, those who read this book will find that the character of
"brother-in-Law" knows a lot about a lot of things. Was Mr. Thornton lying? I don't think so.
