OMG, “Pool Pigs”??? What do they mean? Like they hog up the pool or something? Even though I don’t know exactly what is meant by that term, I literally felt the superior and arrogant and critical attotide and mutual out ruds on public while they continue fleecing them! I used to hear staff call them, “professional pcs” but “pool pigs” is even worse.

+1 LOL!

Good job Aquamarine, nice post.

Glad I could 🙂

Annabelle – Well, there was a period called The Reformation.

It was not within the Catholic Church itself and is also known as the “Schism” in western Christianity, where the Protestant faith arose as a separate religion from Catholicism. In a nutshell.

My point here is that I’ve noticed while being in Scn, there are many references made to the Catholic Church. Your friend gave an example of many I’ve heard. I find this to be a paradox of sorts. When it suits them, they make references of similarities, as if to make Scn more relevant in the world and comparable in scale to Catholicism. Which it simply is not in terms of parishioners anyway. The RCS is currently working hard on that real estate though, to catch up with the Catholic Church, which owns God knows how much.

The other side of the coin is that I’ve heard more than several Scientologists rail against Catholicism and Christianity in general, including Islam and Judaism too. The whole “God is a lie” etc, etc. I don’t need to go on.

Seems to me they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Robert – yes there is always hope. This same friend of mine has undergone some pretty big personality changes since she did OT7 and OT8, including “Clear” a couple of times. I noticed the biggest change immediately when she came back from the Ship after 8. This was not for the good either. I am actually very concerned about her and believe she may actually have some form of early onset dementia (her Mom has it pretty bad) but don’t know how to approach this with her. She wouldn’t receive this from me well at all though and would try to handle it through more auditing at Flag. Medical issues being a whole different subject here…

You are probably right, Aurora. Some of these intelligent folk also believe life is a variety of chemical reaction which originated in an unaccountable explosion out of a previously non-existent particle, and that their higher selves belong in a parallel universe they recognise but dumb people can’t; they are sure of this because they worked it out mathematically and from observation, and it’s been verified by others elsewhere (with whom they did not confer) using the same maths and observations. Two eggheads make a right: if they think it, it must be true. They are of course, far too savvy to fall for that ‘if it’s true for you’ nonsense. Their special, accidentally unique biological nature qualifies them to chant their esoteric formulae and incantations, such as ‘metrication,’ ‘socialism,’ ‘financial instruments,’ ‘the rule of law,’ ‘Heisenberg,’ ‘university bursary committee,’ ‘funding application form,’ and other such things far beyond our ken.

Remote – you made me laugh today! Seriously.

I guess Christian love was other practices.

When I was on staff at the base, the staff were calling the public “pool pigs”.
