“Only a very brave handful of us that are on COB’s Hidden Data Line are supposed to know what’s really going on.”
Very funny!
This IS the mindset, you know. No one knowing what’s going is the new normal for orgs.
It was like that when I left.. Courses paid for yet not delivered anymore, can’t be delivered, no explanation, ditto books and materials. “But I paid for this, when will it be delivered?” Staff just shrug. They’re ok with not knowing. They’re ok with telling you they don’t know. Apathy, maybe?
Curiouser and curiouser!
Thanks for making this funny, RB and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
It sounds like the rot has spread to the orgs, doesn’t it? All the dysfunction at the top has trickled right on down. The end is near. Oh, as someone else has said, there will be people hanging on until the end of their lives, but if the orgs die, the system dies, too. No wonder they have to rely more and more on the whales because they’re not getting money from the poor people trying to get up the bridge. (I wouldn’t join an organization that doesn’t know that you cross bridges and climb ladders, but that’s just me, and I’m a bit pedantic).
People aren’t joining, and the few who are willing to give it a go, are likely being turned off by the lack of services available to them (that they’ve already paid for).
Hahaha! I should have known it – that the post I LOVED was by Aquamarine! So true, so true.
I was furious when I was in, but watching, that people were either donating for courses they could never do (you have to do the PTS-SP/Intro to Scn Ethics/Objectives – whatever the course du jour – first), or donating so much to the IAS that they never had any “left over” (which was the order of priority) for training or auditing.
Now, what has been happening is the hidden data line of Facebook. This has been happening for about the last 8 – 10 years. People write me and say, “I see that you have so-and-so on your friend’s list. I was told by Jo (usually Jo Jo Al-Zawawi) that OSA said that the MAA/EO said that that person is in bad standing and just about to be declared.” WHAT?
Just about to be declared? How do they know ahead of time? Did they give the person a comm ev? If they aren’t declared yet, why are you writing me and telling me to “unfriend” (disconnect from) them?
I subtly ask those questions so that the person will go back to the MAA and ask for it in writing or to see the goldenrod. After all, if it isn’t written it isn’t true, right?
And then, I go to the person in question and ask about it… “I just got a note from someone who said the MAA is saying that you’re in bad standing or that they are considering declaring you. Did you know anything about that?” I swear, 80 to 90% of the time, the person has no idea that a declare was coming.
Talk about a deep hidden data line. OSA starts a whispering campaign on the person before their declare is even issued so that the person’s friends start dropping like flies and they, potentially, don’t even and may not ever know why.
Can anyone spell “North Korea”? “Gulag”? “Prison without Bars”?
The smoking, the “sir”, the scientologist Orwellian Double Speak… and of course the hidden true thoughts… I love these Regraded Being episodes every week.
I’m offended at seeing COBs hidden date line being mocked. I’ll have you know that I had huge wins holding the copper wire, and I’m not the only one who can attest to benefits of Grounding Tech.
I so never got the holding of the wire. It just seems so pointless. I mean I know Miss Cabbage is the master (mistress?) of pointless punishments, but really. Maybe I’m not understanding. The wire is buried in the ground except for a middle part which the person being punished is forced to hold? The wire is grounded, so the guy isn’t in any danger. Is it another just for humiliation thing?
This weird practice is not intended to punish the person holding the wire, but rather to benefit them. According to Rinder, Miscavige himself would hold on to the wire at times:
Love that wish. Marty may have to do some amends though. Regain the trust. Poor old stupid Marty, falling for that big fish story again, hook, line and sinker, speaking of fishing.
Off topic but it’s my two cents. Many people including me have been dreaming about seeing David Miscavige behind bars. none more so than those who have been directly affected by his criminal actions all in the name of L Ron plus his own additions. BUT, seeing this conman behind bars is not so easy. Him and his dirty organisation are lawyer-ed up from head to toe and they make very sure that whatever they do is within the boundaries of the law of the land. we will have a hard time catching Miscavige and his con-cult breaking the law in such way that can be proven in a court of law, due to lack of hard evidence, or a smoking gun.
BUT, what is being done by many, principally Mike and Leah, is working, i.e. destroy the little credibility left of this man and his gang of bandits, let the public see what they really are so no one would be naive or stupid enough to come near them. The growing numbers of dissatisfied, abused ex customers, the also growing number of people who have been subjected to the inhuman Scientology law of disconnection etc exposed to the eyes of the world, will eventually see the end of this cult, when nobody wants them and inflow dries out.
In my view, total destruction of their credibility is what will bring down David Miscavige and his *Church” of Scientology dirty machine. Without fuel, the engine stops!
No. CoS will linger on and on and on, first dwindling away to a core mass of true believers (probably near that stage now), and then will slowly decrease in size due to deaths from old age of its remaining members. Even after the passing of its leader and driving force.
It will only pass with the passing of its last true believer. That’s decades away.
This has been demonstrated in many cults over the years — centuries in fact.
That is a beautifully summary of what is likely happening: Miscavige is a sick deranged leader of a criminal syndicate that may be untouchable except in the court of public opinion and historical record which will brand David “Captain Four Foot Thirteen” as the twisted tyrant he really is. Human trafficking or RICO statutes might be his legal demise if the right people “wake up.”
Student” said:
David “Captain Four Foot Thirteen”
That might be — on a good day, but David “Captain Four Foot twelve-and-a-half” is probably closer to the mark, and I doubt he could even finish his AB (able-bodied seaman classification), considering his past scholastic achievements (HS drip-out, no valid auditing certs, and so forth.) “Captain” just ain’t in the cards. I’d love to watch him captain even a Sunfish or Laser or other dinghy. Expect he’d get soaking wet in minutes, perhaps before he got into the boat.
And the reference to MCOBs and MCOPLs got me thinking: Does CMO now stand for “COB’s messenger Org”? Do they now pass along the slaps as well as the verbal abuse Tubby required his girls to deliver? Inquiring minds want to know. 🙂
Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family, Mike, and many thanks as always for all that you do. Merry Christmas to my blog buddies here. Hang in there.
We are going to win. Hang in there. BY NEXT YEAR at this time, if not sooner, I expect the following lyrics to be applicable to a certain person’s immediate situation.
With apologies to Mel Torme for what I’ve done to his lovely “Christmas Song”
Dave’s nuts roasting on an open fire
Whales once friendly now his foes
“You Stand Small” being sung by a choir
And no one’s listening to his woes.
Everybody knows that COB’s aTrue Psycho
Dishing pain is his delight
Tiny Fists with his scotch and his blow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
He knows subpoenas’ in the mail
A RICO case will place his sorry ass in jail
And Lawyer Dingaling, that blinky bitch
Might even turn on him and to the G-Men snitch.
All of which is why DM with you we sympathize
Feel your pain we really do
Nobody left to believe in your lies!
We’re so sorry – boo hoo.
Cause now the Feds will come your way
And then your victims finally gonna have their say,
And then that legal team you trust the most
Will tell you, “Sir, Fuggetaboutit, you are toast”.
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To one whose Judgement Day is due.
Although its been said many times, many ways,
Dave Miscavige, “Fuck you”.
Aquamarine. Perfectly put. We can only hope. Merry Christmas to Mike, his family, Leah and her family, all of the contributors to the show and all of the people on this blog. Have a peaceful and wonderful holiday to you all.
I’m certain we will see Miscavige imprisoned in coming years. He won’t see it coming, but it is coming.
The only way he will avoid the penitentiary is if he goes into hiding, and since we all know he is scared of his own shadow, he will probably opt for hiding like the frightened little infant he has proven to be.
Hey Mike,
Over at Marty’s place they are saying You and Leah couldn’t point to a single crime that Scientology has committed.
Sure looks like the old rooster has flown back to the coop.
Maybe you could help him escape, (and stay escaped this time), like he did you. LOL
“…couldn’t point to a single crime that Scientology has committed.” There’s no single crime. There’s thousands of crimes they’ve committed. Even the word ‘cult’ doesn’t come close to what they really are. This is a hateful, toxic, militant group.
That place is for me and I´m sure for many others, a place of INSANITY and that includes most of the comments as well. And as “good ol´LRH” wrote about insanity is that you just can´t understand it — if you could it would not be insanity. So it´s an insane place and so to try to discuss/comment or ask any question there in order to clarify or understand will be to no avail.
Our concept of a crime is not the same as a crime in a court of law. To get someone prosecuted, one must present evidence of a crime the police can take to a prosecutor. Miscavige is not stupid. He knows (or his lawyers know) how to break the law without breaking the law!
Hmm. So stalking and framing Paulette Cooper wasn’t a crime? Operation Snow White not a crime? Assaulting too many to name sea org members…not a crime? Child labor, rape, negligent homicide…not crimes?
Exactly! Just because the statute of limitations is up and charges can’t be brought on most of these doesn’t make these not crimes. This is the very issue I cannot wrap my head around concerning bubble head’s arguments. Makes me wonder about them and what exactly they want to happen. All I hear about over there (which I’ve stopped visiting) is what everyone else is doing “wrong” to end this cult. Not a word about what they are doing to prevent the vile practices of this cult. They’ve got an agenda and it has nothing to do with what they purport.
“Marty” is delusional and probably didn’t bother to watch an episode before babbling on about the show; just took his handler’s word for it. Every story told on “Aftermath” detailed one or more crimes, including “who,what,where, when, how, ” and sometimes “why”. In scio-speak, that’d be “Time, place, form, and event.”
Are things in the Sea Org actually better because of Aftermath? I have to doubt that, but the HOLE was improved enough so that the prisoners actually got beds to sleep in after enough publicity and the threat of an FBI raid materialized.
Once a dog has been beaten enough, they think another beating is always around the corner. I suppose that the Sea bOrg have to think that too. #holidaysad
Happy Holidays RB and Mike. Being in the SO is second only to being at Bedlam Hospital in the 1700s. And the head of the SO The revered Mr. David Miscavige is nuttier than a fruitcake. RB thanks for another spot on illustration of life in the SO.
Do you really think he’s nutty, or is that part of your metaphor? Cause I don’t think he’s mentally ill, at all. I think he’s a psychopath, plain and simple.
Jacquelin, having had personal experience with COB, he is about 5 years old in terms of maturity, 11 years old in terms of education. He may have been a sweet boy as his dad has described him. Scientology turns people in to cold blooded psychopaths. Imho that’s what happened to Miscavige.
Nuttier than a fruitcake means uber crazy, it does not necessarily mean crazy and destructive.
The correct phrase should have been “nuttier than a fruitcake and more dangerous than the plague.”
I don’t hate Miscavige he is part of the Hubbard legacy. I have a lot more to say regarding the evils spread by Ron. Does that answer your question?
I am so sorry you had to endure life at his hands; I’m sorry anyone has to. A psychopath is a dangerous thing. It’s like having a brown recluse for a boss. He may be tiny, but he’s poisonous and can be literally anywhere. My heart breaks for those in his path.
Sorry about that Dude. I slipped & didn’t realise my freshly sharpened axe was in my hand, honest… It was a tragic accident but all that free rum I was given at the tavern that night did taste pretty good though.
I was a cat living at court. I was supposed to be a mouser, but the queen loved me so much, I lived in her quarters and slept on her royal bed. Yeah, I had fleas, but so did she.
Ouch! There’s something reminiscent of “Full Metal Jacket” about this one RB.
Assholeism has to be a requisite for advancing in the command structure of the Cof$.The closer to the top, the worse it gets.
Great flick! Who would have ever thought in those days 3 leading Hollywood actors would all be in the same movie? Lee Marvin, James Stewart & John Wayne. Lee Marvin makes the best ‘bad guy!’
I met Lee Marvin many years ago when I was but a wee one. He was a cool guy. He was filming a movie when I went to work with my dad one day. He smelled like scotch. Lol!
In Scientology? – HELL NO! They have checksheets and internships to produce that product specifically. In fact it’s the one claim they can make without having to lie about it, if they were so inclined to describe what they do to make an exec or Ethic’s Officer. Something to do with having to be a chrome hard asshole or something similarly worded by Hubbard.
A family member has this kind of delusional thinking. Very disconcerting. I like the last frame. A cigarette dangling out of her mouth. Nice touch of reality. Does Miscavige actively encourage or discourage smoking these days? I haven’t seen anything written about that in a long time.
I was wondering about that, myself. Inasmuch as you can’t drink before you go “on course”, it doesn’t make sense to me that people are allowed to smoke. What a simple way to cut down on those embarrassing cancer deaths.
Jacquelin, LRH (source) is the fount of all things $ci. He was a smoker and had this to say about smoking:
“Well, there are societies in England that are having an awfully good time fighting the cigarette. They can’t do anything else, so they fight cigarettes. And they say that the cigarette causes lung cancer. And they’ve – you’ve been hearing something of this, I’m sure. Yeah. Not smoking enough will cause lung cancer. Not smoking enough will cause lung cancer! If anybody is getting a cancerous activity in the lung, the probabilities are that it’s radiation dosage coupled with the fact that he smokes. And what it does is start to run out the radiation dosage, don’t you see.. But I’d say that would be better than not running out any of the radiation dosage at all and the number of lung cancer cases which exist, of course, that don’t smoke are just forgotten by these societies, but they are very numerous.”
Source(s):
L. Ron Hubbard – SHSBC 35, 6107C19 (19th October 1961), “Question and Answer Period: Auditor Effect on Meter”.
Always the vindictive belittler, wasn’t he? “societies in England…fighting the cigarette” How stupid! And they even think it causes lung cancer! What a worthless piece of shit he was! Just one more of the many awful things he did: encouraging his worshipping followers to smoke by example. “Hey, it’s okay to smoke; Ron said so, and besides he was a smoker.”
Interesting: of all the nonsense I’ve read about the purification rundown and “getting the toxins out of your body,” I’ve never seen nicotine mentioned.
I quit smoking in 1973. Not easy. I had a pack-a-day habit, more when I was drinking (i.e. most of the time) but if I could quit, anyone could. I read somewhere that $cibots have higher cancer rates, which is not surprising considering how much they puff away.
I started smoking at 15 and quit cold turkey at 35. I began because our neighbor’s 16 year old niece who would visit from time was a dead ringer for Elizabeth Taylor. She smoked. I wanted to be like her in every way. Took me a year to get addicted because in the beginning it nauseated me, literally. Anyway, I was hooked for 19 years and then stopped without using any aids of buffers. Difficult, but I did it. For ages I’ve had no desire to smoke. Its a matter of will power, mind over matter. The only reason people smoke is because they’re addicted to nicotine. Nicotine craving can be satisfied via a patch or by chewing gum. Not necessary to put carcinogenic smoke into your lungs to satisfy the craving. I’ve known OTs who smoked and they justified it by saying it wouldn’t hurt them because they’re OT. So without being an obnoxious, self rightious ex-smoker, something I promised myself I’d never be, I asked each of these OTs, “Ok, it doesn’t hurt you, but does smoking help you in any way?” They couldn’t answer that. They were addicted to nicotine. I understood that because for 20 years I was too, and during that time, no one, and I mean no one, could part me from my cigarettes. The simplicity of quitting is that you just decide, and do it. That doesn’t mean its easy, but it is simple. Any OT who claims to be “cause over mest” should have no problem quitting smoking.
Your story sounds exactly like mine. I loved to smoke and was up to about 3 packs a day. I also drank, and I could not have a smoke without a drink, nor a drink without a smoke. I also quit cold turkey, and found that I had to quit both drinking and smoking. If I hadn’t I would have started back with the only one habit that I had stopped. I must admit that quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did. It took about a year before I did not dream of smoking. This was in the early 1970’s before the patches, and other helpful ways to ease the transition from smoker to non smoker.
Nature hates a void, and each time I wanted to smoke, I would go out and run. First time I ran about half a block, and doubled over with shortness of breath, and was almost sick to my tummy. I kept running instead of smoking, and 6 months later I ran my first Marathon (26 miles).
I could never be a scientologist I make too much sense when I speak. Those initials and tortured word meanings would be too much for me. I would be running out the door.
It’s like Mork from Gork language. Probably an appropriate analogy. Lol… I ran after attempting to read Diantetics. The word that comes to mind is: gobblygook…
I’ve tried to read Huckster’s words when they were excerpted for some article or another. But, honestly, I don’t know how he sold so many books. He is boring to read, IMO. Word salad comes to mind, and he can’t stay on topic. His mind is constantly wandering and he just writes whatever he’s thinking a the moment. YAWN
Years 77-96 I brought all my children to post with me Christmas morning if we parents didn’t get the day off which we ussally did. I can’t imagine I would get away with that these days. It must be so much more worse then a horror show there. Sad for them.
If I understand this RB, COB is handling Suppressive Media Entheta (Merchants of Chaos) by ignoring it? Isn’t Apathy the lowest damn tone band?
Also, getting SMP started is like a group of Civil War enthusiasts trying to restart a submerged coal-powered submarine. Not going to happen.
Finally, COB is using ‘ghost lines’ to be untraceable in his ARC with staff? Is he afraid of his own staff will leak? Isn’t that called Paranoia? Why not just issue policy as RTC head with the same authority as LRH? He did ‘assume power’ after his asthma attack in the 80s, right?! Damn, it must be a MU on authority or policy.
Soon enough there won’t be any sizable dono’s coming in to the church (and almost no one is stupid enough to PAY for the “tek”) and the tent will fold.
OSD, I’m sure. 🙂 I was pretty successful in business across several different vertical endeavors. Even in its heyday, without all the bad PR, scamology was never a sustainable concern. It had a handful of years of VERY limited growth and then fell, never to recover any growth of customers
There are still a few Trish Duggans around who have a billion or so to toss into the cesspool. Dave will make sure she is offered a role in His SuMP along with Megan ( the Denstists daughter) who can become the news anchors for His Dwindling Spiral of Deceit program.
Yo Dave,
Can’t wait to see yer new show good buddy. Will you become the new late night talk show host? Who ya gonna get for yer audience. Should be pretty funny watching yall stand up, sit down and fight, fight, fight!
Don’t ferget the three cheers fer the gipper …..hip – hip – ………..!
So nice to have Regraded Being back at the firing line. It has been missed…

Love that wish. Marty may have to do some amends though. Regain the trust. Poor old stupid Marty, falling for that big fish story again, hook, line and sinker, speaking of fishing.

Nada
I’d almost rather see Marty go to jail than DM. He knew what he was doing when he betrayed the truth, actual ethics, and all his friends.
Single crime, no….several, yes.
Our concept of a crime is not the same as a crime in a court of law. To get someone prosecuted, one must present evidence of a crime the police can take to a prosecutor. Miscavige is not stupid. He knows (or his lawyers know) how to break the law without breaking the law!
Hmm. So stalking and framing Paulette Cooper wasn’t a crime? Operation Snow White not a crime? Assaulting too many to name sea org members…not a crime? Child labor, rape, negligent homicide…not crimes?
Exactly! Just because the statute of limitations is up and charges can’t be brought on most of these doesn’t make these not crimes. This is the very issue I cannot wrap my head around concerning bubble head’s arguments. Makes me wonder about them and what exactly they want to happen. All I hear about over there (which I’ve stopped visiting) is what everyone else is doing “wrong” to end this cult. Not a word about what they are doing to prevent the vile practices of this cult. They’ve got an agenda and it has nothing to do with what they purport.
bo, criminals like Marty don’t really think that “crimes” are crimes. Otherwise they wouldn’t be committing them.
“Marty” is delusional and probably didn’t bother to watch an episode before babbling on about the show; just took his handler’s word for it. Every story told on “Aftermath” detailed one or more crimes, including “who,what,where, when, how, ” and sometimes “why”. In scio-speak, that’d be “Time, place, form, and event.”
Are things in the Sea Org actually better because of Aftermath? I have to doubt that, but the HOLE was improved enough so that the prisoners actually got beds to sleep in after enough publicity and the threat of an FBI raid materialized.
Once a dog has been beaten enough, they think another beating is always around the corner. I suppose that the Sea bOrg have to think that too. #holidaysad
In fact COB will force staff to make up for the theetie-wheetie time they’ve had these past few years by putting everyone on the RPF’s RPF’s RPF.
Shouldn’t it be theetie-wheeties, with an ‘s’? It is a breakfast cereal, right?
Yes, OSD … It’s “the breakfast of CHUMPions” …
LOL! Now that’s some funny shit!
Happy Holidays RB and Mike. Being in the SO is second only to being at Bedlam Hospital in the 1700s. And the head of the SO The revered Mr. David Miscavige is nuttier than a fruitcake. RB thanks for another spot on illustration of life in the SO.
Do you really think he’s nutty, or is that part of your metaphor? Cause I don’t think he’s mentally ill, at all. I think he’s a psychopath, plain and simple.
Jacquelin, having had personal experience with COB, he is about 5 years old in terms of maturity, 11 years old in terms of education. He may have been a sweet boy as his dad has described him. Scientology turns people in to cold blooded psychopaths. Imho that’s what happened to Miscavige.
Nuttier than a fruitcake means uber crazy, it does not necessarily mean crazy and destructive.
The correct phrase should have been “nuttier than a fruitcake and more dangerous than the plague.”
I don’t hate Miscavige he is part of the Hubbard legacy. I have a lot more to say regarding the evils spread by Ron. Does that answer your question?
I am so sorry you had to endure life at his hands; I’m sorry anyone has to. A psychopath is a dangerous thing. It’s like having a brown recluse for a boss. He may be tiny, but he’s poisonous and can be literally anywhere. My heart breaks for those in his path.
Jacquelin, what is a meta for?
Thanks Jacquelin, all my experiences with him were not bad which makes him even more dangerous.
I was around in the 1700s, but, I got my head chopped off.
Sorry about that Dude. I slipped & didn’t realise my freshly sharpened axe was in my hand, honest… It was a tragic accident but all that free rum I was given at the tavern that night did taste pretty good though.
Would it have hurt you to, at least, pour some of the rum on my grave?
Sorry to hear that. I was a horse that lifetime.
I was a cat living at court. I was supposed to be a mouser, but the queen loved me so much, I lived in her quarters and slept on her royal bed. Yeah, I had fleas, but so did she.
Hah! Then you were a mini-OT. Fleas instead of BTs.
Is that where, “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours,” come from?
Lol…
Ouch! There’s something reminiscent of “Full Metal Jacket” about this one RB.
Assholeism has to be a requisite for advancing in the command structure of the Cof$.The closer to the top, the worse it gets.
Assholeism is a disease, right?
No OSD. Remember ‘Valances’? The crap I used to believe….
I stand corrected, Cece.
Liberty Valence was an old western gunslinger wasn’t he? Some man shot him I hear! ? He was a brave man! The bravest of them all. ?
Great flick! Who would have ever thought in those days 3 leading Hollywood actors would all be in the same movie? Lee Marvin, James Stewart & John Wayne. Lee Marvin makes the best ‘bad guy!’
I met Lee Marvin many years ago when I was but a wee one. He was a cool guy. He was filming a movie when I went to work with my dad one day. He smelled like scotch. Lol!
Would you expect anything less?
In Scientology? – HELL NO! They have checksheets and internships to produce that product specifically. In fact it’s the one claim they can make without having to lie about it, if they were so inclined to describe what they do to make an exec or Ethic’s Officer. Something to do with having to be a chrome hard asshole or something similarly worded by Hubbard.
A family member has this kind of delusional thinking. Very disconcerting. I like the last frame. A cigarette dangling out of her mouth. Nice touch of reality. Does Miscavige actively encourage or discourage smoking these days? I haven’t seen anything written about that in a long time.
I was wondering about that, myself. Inasmuch as you can’t drink before you go “on course”, it doesn’t make sense to me that people are allowed to smoke. What a simple way to cut down on those embarrassing cancer deaths.
BTW, Mike, I really like the new “like” feature
Jacquelin, LRH (source) is the fount of all things $ci. He was a smoker and had this to say about smoking:
“Well, there are societies in England that are having an awfully good time fighting the cigarette. They can’t do anything else, so they fight cigarettes. And they say that the cigarette causes lung cancer. And they’ve – you’ve been hearing something of this, I’m sure. Yeah. Not smoking enough will cause lung cancer. Not smoking enough will cause lung cancer! If anybody is getting a cancerous activity in the lung, the probabilities are that it’s radiation dosage coupled with the fact that he smokes. And what it does is start to run out the radiation dosage, don’t you see.. But I’d say that would be better than not running out any of the radiation dosage at all and the number of lung cancer cases which exist, of course, that don’t smoke are just forgotten by these societies, but they are very numerous.”
Source(s):
L. Ron Hubbard – SHSBC 35, 6107C19 (19th October 1961), “Question and Answer Period: Auditor Effect on Meter”.
What a maroon
Always the vindictive belittler, wasn’t he? “societies in England…fighting the cigarette” How stupid! And they even think it causes lung cancer! What a worthless piece of shit he was! Just one more of the many awful things he did: encouraging his worshipping followers to smoke by example. “Hey, it’s okay to smoke; Ron said so, and besides he was a smoker.”
Interesting: of all the nonsense I’ve read about the purification rundown and “getting the toxins out of your body,” I’ve never seen nicotine mentioned.
I quit smoking in 1973. Not easy. I had a pack-a-day habit, more when I was drinking (i.e. most of the time) but if I could quit, anyone could. I read somewhere that $cibots have higher cancer rates, which is not surprising considering how much they puff away.
I started smoking at 15 and quit cold turkey at 35. I began because our neighbor’s 16 year old niece who would visit from time was a dead ringer for Elizabeth Taylor. She smoked. I wanted to be like her in every way. Took me a year to get addicted because in the beginning it nauseated me, literally. Anyway, I was hooked for 19 years and then stopped without using any aids of buffers. Difficult, but I did it. For ages I’ve had no desire to smoke. Its a matter of will power, mind over matter. The only reason people smoke is because they’re addicted to nicotine. Nicotine craving can be satisfied via a patch or by chewing gum. Not necessary to put carcinogenic smoke into your lungs to satisfy the craving. I’ve known OTs who smoked and they justified it by saying it wouldn’t hurt them because they’re OT. So without being an obnoxious, self rightious ex-smoker, something I promised myself I’d never be, I asked each of these OTs, “Ok, it doesn’t hurt you, but does smoking help you in any way?” They couldn’t answer that. They were addicted to nicotine. I understood that because for 20 years I was too, and during that time, no one, and I mean no one, could part me from my cigarettes. The simplicity of quitting is that you just decide, and do it. That doesn’t mean its easy, but it is simple. Any OT who claims to be “cause over mest” should have no problem quitting smoking.
Your story sounds exactly like mine. I loved to smoke and was up to about 3 packs a day. I also drank, and I could not have a smoke without a drink, nor a drink without a smoke. I also quit cold turkey, and found that I had to quit both drinking and smoking. If I hadn’t I would have started back with the only one habit that I had stopped. I must admit that quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did. It took about a year before I did not dream of smoking. This was in the early 1970’s before the patches, and other helpful ways to ease the transition from smoker to non smoker.
Nature hates a void, and each time I wanted to smoke, I would go out and run. First time I ran about half a block, and doubled over with shortness of breath, and was almost sick to my tummy. I kept running instead of smoking, and 6 months later I ran my first Marathon (26 miles).
Hey, Lance, you’re telling my story! Except I didn’t run a marathon until ten years after I quit.
Quitting’s easy. I’ve done it lots of times.
Same with drinking … Now I don’t drink any more … Of course I don’t drink any LESS …(*joke stolen from Johnny Cash, the concert with Willie Nelson)
” MCOBs and MCOPLs ” ……………. LOL! …..You nailed it again RB!
And the old SO hag blowing smoke in the face of the ‘youngster’ …………… so much is captured in your subtleties about the life and times of the Cult RB!
I could never be a scientologist I make too much sense when I speak. Those initials and tortured word meanings would be too much for me. I would be running out the door.
Good for you, Jacquelin! You recognized that this group is not what they say they are. A CULT. And a vicious one at that. Smart gal!
Ahhww, you’re just saying that 🙂
It’s like Mork from Gork language. Probably an appropriate analogy. Lol… I ran after attempting to read Diantetics. The word that comes to mind is: gobblygook…
Gobblygook…isn’t that a Heavy Metal band?
I’ve tried to read Huckster’s words when they were excerpted for some article or another. But, honestly, I don’t know how he sold so many books. He is boring to read, IMO. Word salad comes to mind, and he can’t stay on topic. His mind is constantly wandering and he just writes whatever he’s thinking a the moment. YAWN
Hilarious and utterly horrifying.
Ok. You can only chose one.
But I have a WOG brain so I have both.
I stand corrected, Karen.
Years 77-96 I brought all my children to post with me Christmas morning if we parents didn’t get the day off which we ussally did. I can’t imagine I would get away with that these days. It must be so much more worse then a horror show there. Sad for them.
If I understand this RB, COB is handling Suppressive Media Entheta (Merchants of Chaos) by ignoring it? Isn’t Apathy the lowest damn tone band?
Also, getting SMP started is like a group of Civil War enthusiasts trying to restart a submerged coal-powered submarine. Not going to happen.
Finally, COB is using ‘ghost lines’ to be untraceable in his ARC with staff? Is he afraid of his own staff will leak? Isn’t that called Paranoia? Why not just issue policy as RTC head with the same authority as LRH? He did ‘assume power’ after his asthma attack in the 80s, right?! Damn, it must be a MU on authority or policy.
Isn’t ‘Merchants of Chaos’ a grunge band?
Soon enough there won’t be any sizable dono’s coming in to the church (and almost no one is stupid enough to PAY for the “tek”) and the tent will fold.
I sure hope you’re right, Wyn.
OSD, I’m sure. 🙂 I was pretty successful in business across several different vertical endeavors. Even in its heyday, without all the bad PR, scamology was never a sustainable concern. It had a handful of years of VERY limited growth and then fell, never to recover any growth of customers
You rock, Wyn!
There are still a few Trish Duggans around who have a billion or so to toss into the cesspool. Dave will make sure she is offered a role in His SuMP along with Megan ( the Denstists daughter) who can become the news anchors for His Dwindling Spiral of Deceit program.
Yo Dave,
Can’t wait to see yer new show good buddy. Will you become the new late night talk show host? Who ya gonna get for yer audience. Should be pretty funny watching yall stand up, sit down and fight, fight, fight!
Don’t ferget the three cheers fer the gipper …..hip – hip – ………..!
