    If we are lucky scinos who stay home might see the Light now that the pressure lets up for a while. It’s hard to go back to boot camp after escaping. Lol

    Brings back horrible memories of Sea Org Isolation in Lebanon Hall at the PAC base – Don’t send a sick person with a fever to a “dog doctor”, just put them into a dirty, filthy room and sleep on a dirty mattress with no sheets. If you’re lucky, someone brings you an orange juice… I remember one time I was running a temperature of 103 and had to walk all the way from PBC to Shaw Health Center and I almost passed out on Fountain Avenue along the way. This hits close to home…

    In reality Miscavige will have a “volunteer” parishioner offload any staff member with flu-like symptoms to the nearest emergency room stat, with strict instructions to plead indigence.

    Great to have you back, Regraded Being. Hope you and your loved ones make it through this.

    I know I haven’t been audited for a long time, but I don’t remember sitting too close. How long is the cable to the cans? Maybe those auditing rooms are too small – how many other communicative diseases have been spread there?

    You never know – COB might have to use some of his hoarded money to pay charity to his staff, or at least to keep the lights on.

    With people staying home and stats down near zero, these few weeks will soon become the baseline for future speeches.

    That way when Davey starts spouting off that interest, growth, or whatever is expanding at some made up factor – there will be a kernel of semi-truth in it.

    For instance, “since the Governor eased the restrictions on going out, $ci.. Morgues have experienced a 1000% increase in people coming in.” And of course Davey can say the reason for all of the increase is people are looking to $ci.. for the answers, when the truth is it’s the same old 36 people who are not stuck at home anymore so they can get back to their routine.

      Phillip, there IS no “baseline for the Shermanator’s overbloviated hyperbolic stat claims. It’s ALL make-believe.
      If anything, ANY “normal” week can be a “baseline”. Anything which later rises above ZERO is outstanding, spectacular, growth approaching INFINITY!!!!!! YAAY!!!!!!!!!

      Right. When 1 person is on course and then after a few weeks 3 more come in one now has 4 people on course; one has 4X’d one’s production! One is now “upstat”.
      A steep upward curve. Affluence, no less…whoo hoo! Gosh, 4 people on course – that’s impressive, eh?

    It’s time Scientologist’s realize that DM does not have the power of Governors of state, and/or medical authority.Sci’s have more power over the judicial system, but that seems to be in the past. Sci depends on the Wog economy, and right now, the Wogs are winning. Wogs forever……………………………….and a day.

    A situation that very few know and that certainly will not be easily leaked by the SO is the following. Orgs and missions will not make money if they have no way of getting public. But given that many staff have jobs partime or in a couple one of the two works in the end will be fine in some way. But the management lives almost ONLY of the percentages paid by the orgs and missions. So in a couple of weeks it will become tragic. The same for pub orgs. For policy everyone must set aside a percentage on an account called GLF (general liabilities fund) but to use them they must have approvals. They have no other local reserves. So if they can’t make money or get money, we’re on the bone. Sea org reserves will have to go into action.

      It never dawned on me that the Sea Borg might be related to The Space Borg from Star Trek.

      An innocent human undergoes some kind of Rundown and is transformed into a Space Borg. The operation installs a special button that a Reg can press and the Space Borg will then reach into its pocket and dispense some cash that they call a kind of “Donation”.

      That’s a pretty slick system – Don’t cha think?

            Huh, i just realized that your name isn’t misspelled “LoosingMyReligion.” You have been ‘Loosing’ (not ‘Losing’) your religion because you’ve passed it through you and flushed it down the toilet. Very clever! Loosing your bowels indeed! I bet it caused horrible cramps and quite the mess; but now that it’s out and you’re cleaned up you feel a lot better, amirite?

              Hi James. To laugh. As you describe it, it’s more ‘evacuate’ I would say. But it makes the idea. It is like freeing yourself from something, but also untying it from yourself and throwing it back at those who gave it to you. What a poke when you wake up. But then you start feeling good. And also a little pissed why not.

      I got the very same feeling dude. RB is truly a great artist. I would love to see a book containing a history of his work. It would be so much more enjoyable than most books I see on coffee tables. They contain a bunch of fluff. RB’s work has a great social content. But it is also very enjoyable from a purely humorous view point. I love RB’s work!

      Scientologists are prejudiced against the medical profession, so they don’t take what they say seriously. I used to go to work at the org when sick, because otherwise no-one would have been there to do the work.

        I sure do wish this blog software enabled us to put text in spoilers. I have something I want to tell everyone here. But it is off topic and I do not want to bother people who are not interested.

        But I have been reading a lot of news articles about this virus but never once have I seen the one danger that I think carries the highest risk. I hope people here will not think of me as a loudmouth know-it-all. But I consider everyone here to be a friend and I just want to help keep us all safe if I can. So here goes:

        I think the single biggest danger is the thing this cult loves the most – MONEY.

        News articles warn about people sneezing on each other or coughing on each other. But how often do you get sneezed on or coughed on? And yet … every day … I wager several times per day, we exchange cash money with others – both paper and coins.

        If this virus is contained in bodily fluids – like our sweat – that is why it can survive on paper or metal for a few hours or so. So please think about wearing gloves when you exchange cash with someone. Even if they are just latex gloves. When I go shopping, I wear latex gloves underneath my leather gloves and I give and accept the cash only when gloved and I put it into an envelope or small coin purse or a small container. Then a day or two later, I take it out and put it into my wallet or other place.

        Please try to understand I just want to see you all stay healthy and safe. God bless you all.

            Skyler, you are spot about cash money and germs. In one of my jobs I regularly have to accept large amounts of cash payments, count the bills and then give receipts. Not all day long, mind you, but between 1 and 3 times a day, usually. For a long time I’ve practiced handwashing after taking these payments. I see now that bank tellers are now wearing very thin plastic gloves and I’ve seen cashiers in large and small grocery markets with them also. Cash is crawling with germs, its true!

          Good post, Skyler. Back when I taught Montessori, when I did the unit on money, I always made my kiddos wash their hands at the end of a lesson, explaining that money was dirty because of how many people handled it. Hopefully that part of the lesson stuck. Last week, I started wearing a latex glove to punch in numbers on the checkout card machine. Wear gloves at the cash machine!!

          P.S. On topic, I am so glad to see that California has been locked out of going to the Centers. Yes!!

      Maybe the lockdown that CA is on will make Scns not have to go to course, auditing, to events, and they will get distance from Scn, and will “destimulate from” Scn. This could be a good side effect of the Corona Virus. And if some of them are at home and are bored and start reading on the internet…anything can happen.

      Another key activity is auditing. Two people in close proximity who may be strangers.

      To make the precious moolah, an auditor must meet with several people every day – person in – person out – person in – person out – person in – person out. A virus paradise. If they are so hooked on money, the virus may well spread from autitor to autidtee like very quickly – like wildfire maybe.

      Hmmm …. I am left to wonder. Could this virus be another way to hasten the end of this evil criminal cult?

      Will the rat forgo the money scammed through auditing and dictate that auditing can cease for a few months so as to keep people healthy? Would he really order the halt to auditing until the virus is gone? A good and kind person would surely do that. What will the rat do?

      I wonder.

        Skyler. Right! Here in Italy now it no longer exists that people go around fooling around except for really vital things. Here it is going even worse than it was in China. So auditing is going to be just stuff to do on their own if they want to. This virus is sneaky because it is also infected asymptomatically, that is, without there being necessarily fever or other symptoms.
        Here it has become a police state to contain the infection and it will also be so in your country.
        So if these stoners, to get some stats, violate quarantines or bans, all of them and the cult end in an huge ocean of trouble.

          Hubbard says no one gets sick unless they are PTS. Very likely orgs will stay open and staff will be on public like white on rice to come in, go on course, get “handlings” from Ethics, etc.

          Has to be hell to be on staff now. THEY will be blamed. Staff and Sea Org will be blamed for “pulling this in”. Just like they were blamed for 9/11. Hopefully the Wrong Why perpetrated on staff , SO and even public will become so unbearable that they blow.

              I hear you. I was just wondering whether the cult would really obey. But I hear you. In my area we are on total lockdown now. Including a curfew. The Governor of my state is not fooling around. In this state the powers that be are taking no chances. I completely agree and am hunkered down for what I expect will be at least a month. I’m prepared to take care of my people so that once this is over we can continue on as a team. Crazy stuff! But then, I lived for 2 years in a 3rd world country, and I will never forget what I saw there. We in this country will be fine. This will be over and we will be fine. On the brite side, since production will not be possible, its a good time to organize!
