Thank you Sid S., for the quote and your insight into it.

More halls and crap storefronts hoping to trap unsuspecting passers.I am trapped here in Clearwater amongst the loose roaming endless BT cast offs.Make it stop! The people of Clearwater are so tired of the Co$.The missions are now bulk mailing to residents in general.My hairdresser has stacks of Freedumb Mags hidden under the counter that have been dropped off.He only showed one to me and tossed the rest.The PR is not fixable give it up.

Hi Sid S, Good to meet you.Your post got me to think that for me, Ron was an inveterate liar who never told the real truth.And it took me only a few months ago to totally realize this 100%.I gave up so much to join the SO,& no it was not the Mest I cared about.It was a siren call,I never understood those ladies on the rocks when I had to read The Odessey in school,now I do.He was a shape & condition shifter & one never knew which would come out when.Reminds me of David Miscavige & his traveling circus cult.Ann.

Sid S, thanks for the quote and the comment on the quote. That was edifying and I enjoyed reading it.

Cindy, why not tell John what you have to say to him? This is the equivalent of dishing the dirt on somebody while their sitting in the same room with you. If I don’t like the tone somebody takes with me I simply say “I don’t like the tone you’re taking with me” but that’s only if I’m in a good mood. Otherwise I say it more colorfully.

“they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation.”

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was Adolf Hitler writing in Mein Kampf…he is explaining the importance of telling huge great whoppers of a lie, since no-one will believe you have the cojones to tell such a big lie. It is easier for them to believe the lie, than to believe the lie is a lie. This is why it is so important for Scientologists to be indoctrinated to believe that Hubbard was an incredible man, with extraordinary abilities, who wanted to save mankind. Then, when he tells big lies it is easier to believe the lie. If, on the other hand, he was an inveterate liar who rarely told the truth, then the big lies becomes obvious.

Hitler also stressed the importance of repeating a big lie, over and over again.

Promising freedom, when you’re actually delivering slavery, must be one of the biggest lies you can tell, and requires a very special liar to pull it off.

Yes – who knows what the true “Opportunity Cost” of Scientology is? Not just the money that is ‘donated’, but the hard work, time and effort that good people could otherwise have been giving to real organisations who are making a real difference in the world.

When you think of the problems faced by mankind today, it’s quite criminal to be claiming to be the complete and total solution, when you’re just offering lies.

Laughter! You made me forget about that witch! Thanks! XXOO

“However, as soon as anyone mentions the words “Scientology” or “LRH” you reactively launch into one of your sneering tirades about your opinions on LRH’s behavior.
When you do this, you are behaving just like the lunatic in Abbot and Costello’s “Niagra Falls” routine where every time the words “Niagra Falls” are spoken, the lunatic tries to strangle Costello even though those words have nothing to do with what is actually being discussed. ”

Good points, Espiritu! I have also thought that John Locke’s posts were non-sequitur in that they didn’t address what was actually said, but instead were reactive knee-jerk reactions to hijack and divert the attention over to LRH. Thank you for your voice of reason post, Espiritu.

Cynical me says Mis Angie “transitioned her relationship” by virtue of all that she knows about David Let Him Die Miscavige and the vicissitudes of Life at Int Base, which would make one terrific book. Angie on Anderson, Oprah and Barbara, oh my…In other words, now that she’s no longer getting her food, clothing and shelter from the Sea Org (such as it was) he helps her live, OR, she lets him die.
