Take em down, the easy way to invalidate the Sea Org “contract” is to read it. It’s unenforceable on its face, complete rubbish.

Oh BOY, I could use a glass of whine right now.

zee moo asked:”Do real Clams actually talk like this to each other?”

Short answer”
No.” Tubby realized that if his slaves talked about their experiences, he’d lose control over them, so that’s verboten. True believers enforce that behavior upon themselves.

Graham quipped:”Looks like someone needs to write up a KR on Kelly!”

BOO! That’s just ONE reason why we need to stay far away from that insanity.

So true, Tom! It’s only since I left Flag that I’ve rediscovered how great it is to have real friends as compared to those I thought I had in scn. My friends from before scientology turned out to be just as strong as they’d been before I took off for a decade as one of Tubby’s slaves; NO financial transaction necessary, and NO doubt/liability “condition” garbage required to be one of them again. Just show up and the intervening years are *gone*.

Very interesting – so is a preference cascade, what disrupts pluralistic ignorance, the phenomenon often at work in Scientology, such as when everyone believes that everyone else is experiencing the promised “case gain” that they’re not? (Cunningly reinforced in Scientology, by the prohibitions against disucssing “case” and other things)

‘In social psychology, pluralistic ignorance is a situation in which a majority of group members privately reject a norm, but go along with it because they assume, incorrectly, that most others accept it. This is also described as “no one believes, but everyone thinks that everyone believes”. ‘

Hubbard also served during an all-out war in which it was sometimes necessary to be inordinately inefficient, and sacrifice human lives with relative disregard. Not only is that not how the military normally operates, but afterwards they tried figure out how to never again have to resort to such things even in wartime.

Typically, Hubbard learned the wrong lessons from the first half of the 20th century. The same can be said, for instance, of the things he picked up from early psychology and psychiatry – such as the abreactive regression therapy he saw in the Navy and copied in Dianetics, but which the Navy and others had abandoned by 1950 because it turned out to cause the problems that still plague Dianetics and Scientology to this day, including lack of long-term results despite seeming impressive short-term reactions, and some patients actually getting worse including going psychotic.
