"To a Scientologist, boarding the Freewinds for New OT VIII is the pinnacle of a deeply spiritual journey. Years of training and auditing have brought him to this ultimate point. It is the most significant spiritual accomplishment of his lifetime and brings with it the full realization of his immortality.
The Freewinds is a very special place. It is the one place a Scientologist may go and be certain he will be able to devote himself entirely to his religious practice and in the company of people who share his religious commitment and outlook on life in general."
Hmmm. I know I've heard this somewhere before.
In case you haven't seen the latest from Michael V, he is now advertising his cruise as "Come away and rest a while at the foot of the Cross of Christ." Somehow I don't think our Blessed Mother felt like she was on a luxury cruise when she stood at the foot of the Cross watching her Son bleed to death.
Haha! Lucky I didn't see that earlier - 'come away and rest at the foot of the cross' - that's the kind of theology you get from an STB. He's serious, isn't he.

Show us your face and we shall be saved. "Each soul is the object of My special love. That is why I am so grateful to those who are resourceful and bringing back sinners to Me. Keep this in mind then. I gave My life for them in the most atrocious torture, for these poor beloved ones. A humble repentance, and they are already on My heart. So speak gently to them. Speak with tenderness. A brusque remark could drive them farther away." - He and I
