T.J. don’t try to understand him. He was criminally insane. That’s all ya need to know.

I’ve just always been confused by how he says: I’ve been married twice and have four children; my first wife is dead. Then a moment later he says: “I’ve never had a second wife”. Wait… what?? Didn’t he say he’s been married twice? How could he not have a second wife? It hurts my brain. Of course, he was actually married 3 times. Also, I believe he had 7 children, if you include Alexis by his non-existent second wife, which LRH did acknowledge her by an inscription dedicating a book to her soon after she was born; it was removed from later editions when he decided to cut her out of his life. Ironic that he wrote a book about successful marriages. I recently read an old interview with his son, L. Ron Hubbard Jr., in which he says things about LRH that really scared me.

El Con Tubbolard, being an inveterate liar could not be trusted to speak to anyone outside the bubble without letting something slip.

Old Surfer Dude: I was in during the late 60s…and there was always a shortage of toilet paper. I always thought it was some sort of plot. Especially when the org was in Power! Never could figure out why they didn’t buy it by the case. It was always a few rolls at a time.

Sometimes I say to myself, “My God! What have I done?”

That may have been me, here, yesterday. It’s kind of a guess on my part, based on that long list of confirms for the Valley super-duper mega event that Mike posted. I figure those people are the real, active clams in the LA area. That’s all they can get for the biggest, bestest, most important-est Ideal Morgue planetwide! 600. Pretty sad. I am pleased 😀

No, it’s still the same as it ever was…

“Active,” in this sense, is someone who says they will be there, and then doesn’t show up because something else happened that needed their attention.

As soon as I learnt about Arslycus, I knew LRH was mocking me. But I justified it, obviously. Somehow. There are so many other comments and jokes he made that I would often stop and wonder if he really was intent on scamming us. But then the thought-stopping mechanisms would kick in and on it would go.

Then there are the handful of old-time exs who recall Hubbard brazenly admitting that he was selling hypnosis and “a piece of blue sky”, etc. Are they to be believed?

Supposing he really knew what he was doing to his followers, telling Sarge in his final days that he had “failed” takes on a different meaning than the one I had always assumed (that he had failed to cure his or the world’s problems). Perhaps he was simply lamenting the fact he hadn’t “captured”, enslaved and indeed conquered the entire planet.

For as a complete dog of a cult guru once said:

“The basic thing man can’t or won’t confront is evil. These people who always rationalize evil behavior – ‘He wasn’t feeling well which is why he murdered the policeman,’ etc. – can be counted on to voice some theetie-weetie justification for somebody’s thoroughly evil conduct. Mr. X wrecks a house and you remark on it and Miss Theetie Weetie will feel compelled to say, ‘Oh, Mr. X had a poor childhood and he didn’t mean any wrong…’ She can’t confront the simple but evil fact that Mr. X is a complete dog.” — LRH, 18 September 1967, STUDY – COMPLEXITY AND CONFRONTING.
