    You can “think it”, but not say it, unless you’re itching to have another Sec Check done after another Knowledge Report is written on you.

    Sounds like my 1st wife Sharron Elizabeth Petersen ( known by some of you as Sharron Weber, COFSSO who aa far as I know has done all of the Ethics Conventions on the Freewinds. She was the Dir I and R when we were married.
    When she deceided that she bo longer wanted to be married to me she had me called before a Chaplain”s Court. This was not done by the Chaplain but by the Qual Sec Sherry Anderson ( I guess you were right, Sharron, I am a walking tape recorder.)
    Her stated reason for wanting a divorce was that she was OTVIII and I was only a Clear. The result of the Chaplain’s Court was pre-ordained just like the Justice actions she dished out.

      Yes, it’s vitally important to have matching case levels when you’re a 2D, otherwise the out-reality will cause massive ARC breaks, adversely affecting stats as people become too enturbulated to do their jobs. 😉

      @jere,

      GOOD RIDDANCE to this… person. (“Person”, by the way, phrased like this with a slight pause in front of it, was my genteel Wasp grandmother’s WORST insult).

      In the South I suppose it would be something like, “Well, bless her heart!”

      And I’d say, ” There’s the door, SLAM it on the way out.”

      Seriously, jere, good riddance to this well-travelled Sea Org Bag.

        Thanks Valboski. “2-Ds” after the SO were FAR more sane. “wogs” have more experience in that arena and the rules are better defined. scientology “marriages” were more “of convenience” than anything else. And it seems DwarfenfĂźhrer has made them verboten. Look how long it’s been that he sent Shelly away to Siberia, yet gets it on with his current “communicator” “Communicator, INDEED! Wish I could have such a sweet deal back then, but I’d already figured out I couldn’t keep two girls straight at the same time. I can’t lie worth a damn; can’t keep the web of lies untangled. Guess I’m not a big enough “being”. AND not big enough to think that would be a “good” skill to have.

    Take a course in basic electronics, and you will know that the “E” meter is just a VOM. A volt-ohm-meter, that has juiced up sensitivity. Calling it a religious artifact will work for the ignorant, but not for me. I would rather enlist in the navy, make pay grade E5, put in twenty years at $42,022.68, which is upwards of $800,000, then retire with benefits. The navy also guarantees disconnection with family also, but only for short periods of time, then reconnection. If you want out of the navy before your contract is up, you can go see a psychiatrist ,and he will get you discharged if you want him to.

    First thing – RB, I always appreciate your cartoons. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work.

    Now, with this following the 2/18/20 article it just continues to highlight what a money grubbing outfit $ci.. is.

    A few quotes from the Lousy Rattlesnake Huckster (snake oil salesman). “The purpose of the evening organization is . . . to make money” “The public attends these (free services) and is then sold . . .”

    Sue/Sally/whatever her name is, uses the classic carrot on a stick or bait and switch to make her sale. All the while keeping her eyes on the prize of catching a bigger more successful fish for herself.

    It’s all the same thing, (rules and decency don’t count just make money) it’s just occurring on different levels. Well done.

      I believe, but am not certain, that such implied contracts can be enforced in some jurisdictions; NOT that the result of enforcing one would be worth the effort —or cost.

    I remember the first time the person who got me in scientology asked me to be his 2D. It was so unreal. I said sure. To me, being asked to be someone’s 2D seemed very odd (and honestly still does even after all these two years. It has nothing to do with love or even attraction, just checking another box off the list. Gees, I wonder why scientology marriages don’t last.

    PS you’re right, the 2D didn’t last. Less than a week later, I got recruited into Sea Org and left him behind. It didn’t even bother me. He seemed genuinely hurt, which surprised me. Scientology sincerely messes with your mind.

      Zee, did you mean “imbue”? Imbibe is what the Twit™ does with all those cases of single-malt. A more accurate term for DwrfenfĂźhrer’s action MIGHT be “guzzle”. Tubby DID somewhat imbibe his own swill, though. He still was trying to get it to work for him while in his BlueBird motor home parked permanently on the Ranch.

        Little i, you shouldn’t use such “bad” words when talking about scientology. All those are the most verboten concepts in the cult’s estimation. They all refer to being something OTHER than UTTERLY RUTHLESS. NO MERCY, just like the Cobra Kai Dojo was taught.
