George M. White said: “He starts by saying “What if I tell people they were alive on the whole track for trillions of years?” This is a great way to start the overall con game.”

IIRC, someone (Chris Shelton, i think) said that the way the whole ‘past lives’ thing got started was suggested (or “suggested”) by scientologists themselves; and LRH, ever the opportunist, incorporated it.

You know how the auditing session goes? The auditor sees the needle jump, and asks the auditee what caused it. Then they are to try to remember earlier incidents. Well, some of them started reporting similar experiences from past lives. Ron heard about it and ran with it. That’s my understanding of where that came from.

I stand corrected!

I thought the gals with three boobs are on Mars, not Venus. 🙂

I wish the blog had a way for us to upvote comments. I’d upvote yours until my Apple Pencil ran out of power.

They can’t even afford cigarettes.

Especially the old ones, I feel sorry for. Scientology takes everything they ever had or everything they might have had, if they’d had a real life, and only gives them a lifetime of serving up lies, swindling people for their life savings, and ignorance.

Even if they are good fundraisers, they just collect money that goes into the IAS coffers, it doesn’t do the least bit of good for anyone but COB and his cronies.

It’s all very sad. May it soon be over.

Very well written. I was in that condition for seventeen years. I was very fortunate to get to original OT VIII. It took one sentence for Hubbard to make the most stupid conclusion in the history of world religion. He tried to align Scientology, the criminal mind, to original Buddhism.
Hubbard was a “coffee table” philosopher. He used a substandard mind to create illusions that he could sell.

Skyler, No one but the one at the top is immune to scn’s “ethics”. Even the ‘Ethics’ Officer is subject to their ‘ethics’.
