Whatever you have to say to me, you can say to my face.

That's a funny start, Vossy. Well done. But how about keeping "face" open for something of value?--Aschlafly 22:57, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Hi Aschlafly. Thanks. I was trying to think of something. Any ideas where I can get started? Vossy 23:02, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Cult

Hi Vossy. I see you have recently edited the Scientology article to produce that Scientology is not a religion, but a cult. I realize there could be some expanded versions of the article that would clarify why it might be called a religion, or be called a cult. But such expansions would necessarily go into a fair bit of detail.

If the article is to be short and conservative, I would propose to keep the article as simple as possible. I don't believe it is conservative to call that organization a 'cult' because a preponderance of scholars have written various papers and said it fulfills "religion". That is, there is good evidence by recognized authority that it is a religion. Whereas, to call it a "cult" might be possible, but to be conservative, would require both refutation of the scholarly opinion that has adjucated that it is a religion and in addition, would need to provide some foundation for calling it a "cult". The USA government adjucated (after a GREAT deal of investigation) that it exists for charitable purposes only and is therefore tax exempt. Germany likewise, recognizes it as a religion, though not a state supported religion. Could we talk about the issue, please ? Terryeo 01:06, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

I've replied to your post on my user page, User_talk:Terryeo#Scientology_Cult. I hope that is direct and helpful. Terryeo 17:42, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Gingrich Picture

Is there some reason you have removed it? Inquiring minds want to know..... --~ TerryK ^Talk2Me! 03:32, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Sorry, TK. I was just following up on the vandalisms by BORF, as detailed in the talk page for Conservapedia on Wikipedia. It looks like someone got to fixing the image before I did though anyhow, as the image was already gone. I'll go search for another. Vossy 03:44, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
