Cult邪教 or religion: What's the difference? (from BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/e-cyclopedia/392396.stm)
The Church of Scientology is doing its utmost to be recognised in the UK as a bone fide(bona fide Made or carried out in good faith; sincere: a bona fide offer.) religion. It has launched a TV advertising campaign, set up a month-long exhibition, and is pasting up(张贴 paste up) posters in London's underground at a great rate of knots. at a rate of knots (British & Australian) if someone does something at a rate of knots, they do it very quickly. She did her homework at a rate of knots so that she could go out with her friends.
Its efforts are co-ordinated to assist the church's case for religious status with the Charities Commission. But whatever the outcome of its applications申请的结果 to the commission, it will have a mighty battle on its hands(have something/someone on your hands if you have a difficult situation on your hands, you have to deal with it, to be responsible for someone or something. If the police carry on like this, they'll have a riot on their hands before long. With four kids I suspect she's got enough on her hands. The coach was a little surprised to have this tall, talented athlete on her hands. have someone/something on hand手头有 be on hand - to be near and ready if needed.

The Unification Church, also known as the Moonies did it, and now enjoy
being officially recognised in this country as a religion. But
Scientologists have no such reputation, with the church being banned from British prisons - whilst in Germany, members are not allowed to stand for(代表, 做...的候选人) parliament.
The term "cult", says the Cult Information Centre in London, applies to a group which demonstrates five different qualities (see参看 fact box(提供新闻背景信息的小框) 此文中录于本段末). Scientologists are by no means averse反对反感的 to suing when the faintest scent of(气味,迹象) defamation诽谤 is in the air在流传中. And the centre does not say that the church is a cult. Definition of a cult 1. Has all of the following characteristics 2. Uses psychological coercion(强迫, 政治高压, 强权 coercion and bribery威胁利诱) to recruit, indoctrinate灌输(灌输以某种学说或信仰) and retain members 3. Forms a elitist society 4. Founder leader is self-appointed自封的, dogmatic独断的, messianic以救世主自居的, charismatic(神赐能力的) and unaccountable 5. Believes' end justifies the means' in raising funds and recruitment 6. Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.
Spokesman Graeme Wilson said: "Cult was originally a word that indicated religious worship, but it has now been appropriated(adj. 适合于…的 vt. 1. 拨出作特殊用途 2. 挪用窃用) to incorporate组建 new religions
- and dangerous apocolyptic groups. "There is no way that Scientology
can be compared to groups like the Solar Temple, or with what happened
at Waco or Jonestown."
In a nutshell - and the church has
published more than one million pages on the subject - the aims of
Scientology are to free the "Thetan" (free-thinking being) which is
passed through incarnations into every mortal body. It was the brainchild(脑
力劳动的产物,某人或某集团最初的想法或计划) of the late Reverend L. Ron Hubbard, one-time
science fiction writer, and has been in the UK since the mid 50s.
Hubbard set up processes designed to eliminate "engrams记忆的痕迹"
(established dodgy patterns of thought, which may have resulted from
misdeeds in past lives前世).
Getting rid of engrams and striving for enlightenment through Dianetics
- a kind of personal reprogramming achieved by intensive counselling -
are the general aims and activities of church members. People who have
left Scientology have also complained that as well as being intensive,
the counselling can be extremely expensive. All very well(for sb to do sth 1. 还不错,还凑合,也就凑合了 good but not good enough. It's all very well to fully discuss a problem, but finally you have to stop talking and do something about it. 2. acceptable也就罢了. It's all very well to give money to help people, but there needs to be some way of helping them to help themselves. Usage notes: said about something that is good but not enough by itself) for the celebrity members, who count the likes of(诸如...的人或事物) John Travolta, Kirsty Alley and Tom Cruise in their ranks, but a potentially heavy burden for the average man or woman
in the street. Mr Howarth says that it is not unknown for individuals
to spend tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of pounds trying to free
their Thetan. But he added that it was not a group's central belief - or
even the amount of money it made - that earned it the status of cult赢得邪教的称号. He said: "In a democratic situation, if people want to believe something, however strange that may appear to outsiders, then that is entirely their business完全是他们的事情 and their right to do so. "And people are free to give money to whatever cause or faith they see fit. "If, however, someone - whatever group it might be - is interfering with干涉 someone's right to free choice, then that is completely anti-democratic, and dangerous." He said that estimating conservatively保守估计, there were currently about 500 cults operating in the UK, most purporting to声称 be religions.
"Many people choose to believe that people who end up in cults are weak-minded(优柔寡断的,怯懦低能的)," he said. "There is this misconception误解 that cults single out lonely, marginalised边缘化的 people. While you cannot dispute that lonely people may be more receptive(易
接受易接纳的) to any kind of social contact, it would be wrong to say that
cults know who the lonely ones are. "The truth is that people who are taken over by cults are generally smart people. What we are talking about is mind control思想控制, and where that is involved anyone can be a victim." The imminent arrival of the new millennium has brought the issue of cults into sharp focus(强聚焦). They are gaining in popularity across the board(全面的,包括所有人的). While the Concerned Christians have been dispatched from Jerusalem (where it was believed they would try to kick-start armageddon([圣经]哈米吉多顿(世界末日[at the end of the world]善恶决战的战场)) as the clock ticked past midnight on January 1 next year) - the Ohm cult is stronger in numbers than it ever has been.
But the Church of Scientology says members are free to come and go来去自由 as they please(随他们高兴),
and that it does not use "brainwashing" techniques. And they say that
the church is a religion, if an unconventional one. Mr Wilson added: "Our problems of image形象问题 stem from the days when Dianetics was published. That upset a lot of psychiatrists, who were criticised for their use of mind controlling drugs, lobotomies(前脑叶白质切除术,以前经常用于治疗精神混乱症，但现已废除) and electro convulsive therapy." He said allegations of brainwashing were left over from "a conspiracy阴谋" against them by the psychiatric profession. "It is important to us that we are recognised as a bone fide religion. All new religions go through a period when they are thrown to the lions and persecuted迫害. "Then there is the crossover交叉路口 when they are accepted into the mainstream - and we are at that crossover now."

Grooming梳洗修整 your long haired dog

cleanliness. Longhaired dogs get dirty easily, mat and tangle, and may
smell bad if not groomed properly. Everyone wants a beautiful longhaired
pup, right? And the dog wants a beautiful coat! This page will tell you

inside the ear. Be careful so as not to hurt your dog. Leaving hair
inside the ear can cause infections and can be uncomfortable. Use either

6 Tips To Make Anal Pleasurable
Although
still considered taboo in certain parts of the world, anal se4x is
quickly becoming a more accepted part of people's sex lives. That said,
there are certain things you can do to ensure that your backdoor fun
is the best it can be, regardless of whether you're giving it to her or
she's venturing into your region. Now then, here are six tips to make
anal s5ex pleasurable and a memorable experience for the right reasons
every time you engage in the deed.
1- Don't insist on penetration
Although it's hard to believe, you don't need to stick your fingers or penis inside the rectum for the pleasurable sensations快感 associated with anal s6ex. And although it might be a bitter pill for some guys to swallow(a bitter pill (to swallow) an unpleasant situation that must be accepted. Losing the championship was a bitter pill to swallow for a team that was used to winning every year. Having his fate in the hands of others is a bitter pill for this proud man.), but when you're receiving anal s6ex, you don't need to have anything put inside you either. By simply rubbing the anus or even licking it, known as rimming, the receiving person can derive awesome sensations.
2- Make it feel good all the time
Although many women have told us that their first anal s4ex experience (and sometimes their second and third) hurt like a bitch痛得要死, but ladies, it doesn't have to. We're serious. Now, if she isn't calm and relaxed, it's going to hurt. If you insist on shoving your peni7s inside her
(like ripping off a bandage -- one shot), it's going to hurt. If you
don't use lubrication, it's going to hurt. You need to talk about it and
both of you need to agree to do it happily; no one should be coerced into it.
You also need to be patient and let her lead the way. If you are going
to engage in anal s8ex, let her hold your pe0nis and guide it in slowly.
Go in about an inch, then pull out completely, then go in about an inch
farther and pull out completely. Keep going in and out at one-inch
intervals and pretty soon you'll be in.
5- Change your diet
If you or she don't eat fiber, raw vegetables and fruit, opting for a lot of processed foods(加工食品品(如经过杀菌处理等))
instead, then you won't be contributing to a desirable anal s6ex
experience. Regular bowel movements are conducive to both comfort and
confidence when it comes to anal sex. Adult film stars about to engage
in anal sex always undergo enemas beforehand to ensure no "slip-ups." So
make sure that your diet is a healthy one and, although fiber is
recommended, try to avoid eating it a few hours before you're set to
engage in anal sex.
Swing 101:You think
you want to swing? ... If you want to make your dreams a reality, you
have to ask yourself if you love the dream enough to risk ruining your relationship. Relationships more secure than yours have failed after this carnal experiment because not only is it a lifestyle change, but it will change your relationship for good永久地. This isn’t a decision you can make over a light lunch.
Like losing your virginity, once it’s given, it’s gone. Swinging is a
choice that has unknown ramifications and unforeseen consequences and
benefits.
