Thanks Aqua. But I’m just a student of humans in general and *gasp* psychology. We all have pretty similar and predictable motivations when it comes down to it. This cult seems like a sort of microcosm of LRH’s deepest seated If I Ruled The World fantasy. Kind of his own personal SIM City of success. And the overall structure and techniques are echoed or replicated in many other places. Without drawing a relevant current parallel, I’d like to say that some people are just wonderful at marketing and terrible at delivering actual results. (Although the world of real estate surprisingly comes up in both.)

An old mean one beats a young mean one any time. LOL.

I did watch the LRH video of his life. Are you kidding me. LOL. He was a war hero who was wounded, then while he was recovering at a military hospital, he decided to become a doctor. Wait for it, it gets better. OK, so he puts on a uniform, bribes a Marine to say: “Good Morning Doctor” and that was good enough for him to get into the doctor’s library and he was able to study for a year. What a guy. Next, he hears that the “shrinks” are using German prisoners of War to experiment on with Testosterone and other drugs, and good old Ron gets with these guys and they start to respond much to the dismay of the other doctors. WOW!! Onward and upward. Ron is now a semi underground cop, who all the undesirables trust and love. He gets into a hassle while sitting at a bar, as a drunk guy tries to take his gun, (his gun in full uniform)because the drunk wants to shoot his friend. Ron gives the guy a “Mikey Finn” drink of salt and water, and after the guy throws that drink up he confesses to Ronnie that he wants to change his life. OK gang, believe what you want, but there is more and this should convince you that whatever Ronnie says is the whole truth. He is now an engineer for aviation, and is called in to help with a great problem of weight, energy, thrust, drag of aircraft and rocket ships. Those in charge are so dumb that they have to have fuel for their craft, which of course adds weight. To tell the truth, I designed aircraft also, and was a pilot, and had to fuel up before take-off. Boy, was I dumb. I never got to the part where our spacecraft is going to the planets and stars without fuel, because the guy called me for my analysis. I could have spent all day just listening to good old Ron and his life history. I told the guy doing the analysis that LRH was quite a guy, and his reply was: “And he was so humble.” LOL. For God’s sake stop me, I’m on a roll. It has been a very good day, and yes, I did have just too much fun.

All men are dangerous. The older ones more so in that they have more experience 🙂

I am a curious soul, and had gotten the Oxford Capacity Analysis questionnaire a couple of weeks back and filled in the questions.

This morning I went back to the Portland headquarters, and gave them my filled out questionnaire. There was just the receptionist and the place was totally empty. She called out for a guy to come and give me a read-out of the questionnaire. I am sure that you have all done this about 200 questions yourself.

My readout came out thus: Stable: 10 Happy:80, Composed:30 Certainty:55, Active:50 Aggressive:52 Responsible (causative)80, Correct Estimation: -10, Appreciative-45, Comm level:30.

It comes out that my “state of mind” is very high. “Potential Reach Goals: also quite high, but, relationships (romantic, friends, family) was in the minus sector, along with Loss, betrayal, and difficulty trusting.

I asked about the e-meters, which I actually saw one at the site, but he did not offer to let me use it. Kind of came out that it does so much more than a “lie detector” and can read your thoughts. LOL. Good thing I didn’t go on the “cans,” he would have found that I had quite a few thoughts.

He asked what I wanted to change, and I told him that my life as it is, is perfect. He did say that he thought that the cult would be something that I would enjoy and learn from. I said good-bye and left (with my questionnaire results).

I believe that I am no longer a “Wog” but now am a “Muggle”

Summed up with your customary acuity, Cecybeans. I have to say, for a Never In you have remarkable insight into what made/makes this cult tick.

🙂

Their smiles? Flunk!

Toothbrush Tech has had FAR more beneficial effects on this and other disaster prone groups than mere wog dental health!

Try their LIVES, Lance.

Not to mention their children’s future, the safety and well being of their community and possibly the future of the planet and all civilized societies on it as well.

No worries, this will all be explained by COB at the IAS Event.
