Yes. Nuts. Totally.

Ballet Lady. Lol. Yes they knew how to dress and fashion was also related to social respect and acceptance. Now is a bit confusing. Most want to look anticonformist but at the end it become a crowd of conformist.
Here in Italy we are in the phase 2 of the pandemic and we are not more close at home and we can go out and meet people. We still must keep distance and mask but I see that few really respect it.
My family is made of 5 women and all doing great and are all strong (as women are). Do great my friend!

I was married twice on the Freewinds. I had never kissed either of my fiances before we were married.
That did not stop the Public MAA AOLA to demand to know if I was ” Still doin it with the moose” when I was busted for kissing the stuffed moose on the snout that I had brought for the GAT drills. Yep, they are totally nuts.

Here’s my take on this ubiquitous cult code phrase for the Coronavirus pandemic:

First, a little magical thinking, you know? Like, we don’t want to make this thing REAL by calling it by its actual NAME. You see, if instead of using its name we use a euphemism, a mild euphemism that isn’t going to “restimulate” anyone, maybe it will stop paying it all this ATTENTION and pay US some attention and this way this thing will just disappear, it will just fade away because no one is paying attention to it! Got that? So let’s gloss over it all and call a pandemic that has to date killed 130 thousand Americans in 4 months “unusual times” 🙂

And then, as always, there’s the MONEY angle. The job loss angle, the ” I’m really broke for real now” angle. Let’s not restimulate THAT, for Xenu’s sake. Let’s not bring THAT up! We need MONEY…NOW…BY 2PM. So, Covid or no Covid, broke or not broke, sick/unemployed/stuck at home or whatever, the Birthday Game goes on! No excuses! No reasons why! The future of every man, woman and child…etc. This is a deadly serious activity, etc Covid is just a 4th Dynamic BULLBAIT of Scientology, is all! So let’s not add POWER to it by calling it by its name!

Unusual times, but not unusual stratagems from our favorite cult.

“I think there will soon be the biggest loss of COS membership, ever.”

So do I.

There’s going to be a precipitous drop. No way the Sheeple are going to obediently return to resume their positions once more under Co$’s thumb.

That’s over.

Covid has given them their first real whiff of freedom from the org in a long time while at the same time a affording perfectly valid, truthful excuse for not actively participating in Scientology.

Here they are, the Still Ins, most of them already steeply in credit card debt.

Now they’re dealing with Covid. Whereas before they probably had a job, now many of them have no job.

Collecting unemployment – if they’re lucky. Bills not only piling up – nothing unusual – but REALLY piling up. Bills REALLY not getting paid. Kids not in school. No babysitter.

Why can’t they come to the org? I mean, seriously, pick your PTP (that’s “present time problem” for you never-ins :).

Covid is, effectively, making “Ethics Particles” (more Scientologese- that just means members who are in Ethics or who require Ethics handlings) out of most of them – serious Ethics Particles, like “gonna be homeless if we can’t pay the rent this month” Ethics Particles. Whereas they were formerly “respectably” in debt they are very likely now approaching the disreputable class – the DB class.

And – more bad news for the cult – a number of states wherein people have not been Covid seriously are surging with new cases. States which reopened too soon are now seeing sharply increases of people testing positive. So now all the businesses that reopened too soon are going to see their stats crash again.

The cult will promote extension courses I suppose, hoping in vain to hold onto their public that way. They’ll also do everything they can to guilt/shame the public into donating, but it won’t work, its a losing game.

Must be hell to be staff or Sea Org now. Not that it isn’t always…

Now the single Sea Ogres can’t even hold hands and kiss good night without being married! This organization is truly nutso!

No need for all of that PeaceMaker. Once people are no longer into scamology there is no NEW income to shelter. The existing shelter for existing assets just remains static. That Catholic churches stand empty as many do doesn’t put that church into justification mode. The law doesn’t require that. In any event the gov’t cannot demand worshiper names and numbers.

Thanks for sharing this Jere

Seems to me that the…. !…….( exclamation point) is to get you revved up & excited……as in “Woo Hoo I AM taking extension courses”….YYEEE HAAA!!!!!

The ? (question mark) as in she is actually questioning herself …………… “Are you really THAT stupid to believe there actually IS a bridge to move up”….?????

We all know you’re smart enough to get a GOOD LAUGH out of this letter, as did we!

YeeeHaaa & Woo Hoo…..you are OUT…..& recovering!

I agree Aqua as sad as it IS to say that.

Look at FLDS….Warren Jeffs is STILL running the show from his prison cell. He is permitted phone calls, visits from his cohorts AND his “wives”. He is directing everything that is going on behind those walls AND his “believers”….well they don’t believe he’s done anything wrong…he is the PROPHET…much like David M is the “Prophet”….of COS.

Jeffs needs to be moved to GENERAL POPULATION where the inmates know how to take care of adults who molest & rape children. He’s treated like a celebrity.

How the HELL does Jeffs get away with it……BECAUSE HE CAN.

This COS is like the song that never ends…it goes on and on my friend.

For sure LMR…those were the days of ” wine & roses”…..lol!…..

I look back at the movies on Turner Classic Movies & think WOW, they KNEW how to dress. Even seeing “fans at a baseball game”…OMG the MEN WORE SUITS….they must have been hot as Hell!

Seeing people walking on the streets in NYC back in the 1950’/60’s….people DRESSED up….no one wore flip flops, shorts, tank tops…they HAD CLOTHES ON!…..My Grandmother wore a HAT everyday to work!

Hope all is well, enjoy the holiday week end…..as best as we can while we try to “stay safe at home”….it’s a lonely life when you have to keep 6 feet away or NOT see friends/family. I hope all is well with your family!
