Anyone got a Plan B?

It's not the end of the world!!  Worse things happen.

The effort continues as this is a bit by bit battle until so much momentum builds up that a landslide occurs.

I started my journey against scio in 1982 and you lot have achieve much more in the last few months than was imaginable.

Losing a battle - not so good - winning the war - much better!!

Take heart

May I ask where the charity goes to within NZ to be a "charity"

[anonyrat]

Dayum!

I saw this coming though. We didn't have the legal expertise to know how to fight this. Maybe if we'd done a massive email campaign we might have got some traction.

Least we can hope that they thoroughly dug into the CoS's finances and grilled them for info.

This was exactly the kind of situation we needed more inside information on. If we don't know where the bodies are hidden (so to speak), how can we let the people who can really do something about it know?

At least the status quo has been retained; things haven't actually got any worse (as they would've done if the Narconon facility in Wanganui got approval).

A few thoughts... Open for discussion.
To gain this charity status the cult
must have had to provide certain information to
the charities commission.
Let`s see what information they provided.

It would be very irresponsible of us not
to bring to the charity commission`s attention
any falsehoods provided by the cult.
Or maybe any relevant information that the cult
neglected to be forthcoming with.

As mother Superior always used to say
"When the lord closes a door he always
bursts into song." (Julie Andrews.)
Maybe I got that a bit wrong. But you get the idea.
