Brilliant! I’ll have to remember that one in 29 days time when I dial into the family get-together.

Yes when Hubtard said he had “all the answers”, he meant he could come up with an answer for anything. Anyone can come up with answers as long as the answers don’t have to make sense.

To Grisianfarce: During the holiday season, an event wedged between Dec. 24 Christmas Eve service and (same night) Midnight Candlelit Vigil, troubled Catholics can break away from their family feast to attend a “Goals Problems Mass.”

Mary Snow: Along with Mark, appreciate your bluntness. Not offended by your inquiry and comments here. It’s refreshing and you are inviting new thoughts.

That is key, “gain your confidence and you’re hooked.”

Former-ins have an array of “hatting” experiences where we were instructed how to entice a new person. One I heard had to do with drawing in a VERY successful “upstat” (high producing, up statistic) person: “You either get them while they are up high and doing well—explain how Scientology will help them stay there. Or you get them after they have achieved stratospheric success and crashed—explain how Scientology will get them back to a stellar level of success.”

It did seem, while in, there was AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING. In career, if someone is not succeeding and they appear to lack discipline, Ethics Officer or other will school the person into getting disciplined and adhering more rigorously to rules. If, on the other hand, a person is seeming to follow all policy, all rules, is demonstrating good discipline in their conduct, a staff member will show them LRH revelations about “all the captains of industry are pirates and bums.” In other words: bend some rules, “disagree,” you are too MUCH in agreement with all your uptightness and insistence on rule-bound living.

Something for every person and every situation. Part of the trap.

Dreck…on the holodeck…😎

Walter Mitty is a fictional character who daydreams about being a hero. My daydream coupled with my ego led to a runaway fantasy. I won’t do that again – haha

I learned something about how unrestricted imagination might lead to an actual mental disorder.

No big deal. Historically speaking most Scientologists become EX Scientologists figuring things out. Been there done that. 🙂

Yo Dave,
Where do we send our Cee Ess Doubleyews for a 30 minute Ell Oh Aye for Thanksgiving ………… Good Buddy?
