Yes! What a team!

“Nevha Will Joynah…” That’s very cute, Balletlady 🙂 Well done on that phone call! Still laughing!

Its complicated. They’re good people. Decent, in their own way. Kind, in their own way. But – and this is hard to explain but I’ll try – they’re sort of FROZEN, mentally. Jesus this, Jesus that. God sent Donald Trump to be president. Obama is a minion of the devil. Hillary IS the devil. And its not just politics. There’s only ONE way; the rest of us are DOOMED if we don’t wash ourselves in the blood of the lamb or whatever. They pity me because they really believe I’m doomed. I pity them because they’re idiots. But because they’re related to me, because they’re the children of my father’s sister, their idiocy and ignorance get on my nerves. Government is evil but they have no idea how dependent upon government they actually are. Without Social Security and Medicare they’d be out in the street. I could go on. Suffice to say they get on my nerves, just the idea that they’re my FAMILY and related to me and so unlike the intelligent, open minded family I once had, and lost. Clearly do I see why my late father avoided this particular sister and her husband and kids whenever possible. I suppose I love them because I know they’re fundamentally good and decent, but I don’t like them, and frankly, don’t respect them. I consider them foreign to me. I’m glad I don’t live near them and I’m sure they feel exactly the same way about me. As I said – complicated 🙂

There are OTHER current studies showing that carriers, even “super-carriers” might be asymptomatic.
This “bug” is scary.
The only saving grace is that it seems not to be mutating very quickly. I again don’t wish it upon them, but the SO at Flog, PAC and the “Fleecewinds” are living petri dishes for the spread of this disease. AND we won’t know the numbers other than some Coroners’ “educated guesses” after the fact. THAT will be hampered by scientology’s “religious prohibition” against autopsies AND their “religious requirement” for *immediate* cremation, all designed to hide the truth from ALL.

Aqua: You don’t like your cousins in Georgia?

For SOME, religious services are slightly more important than their immediate lives. Those who are a little more aware of reality will practice “social separation” even if they DO go to services. The smart preachers will have services in big outdoor spaces, perhaps in drive-in theaters to achieve separation. Some of the larger congregations already have video services, on TV or Internet, or whatever. scientology COULD run courses via video-link, the course Supervisor checking for students’ indicators on a rotating basis, JUST like in-person, except that the student could aim his camera too high or low to to be useful. and/or turn their audio off, so they can’t hear the Sup. Might as well just do home-study then, of course. If *I* were doing scn courses again, it’d only be home study except for practical drills, of course. Then again, scientology has NOTHING useful to me. YMMV
Wasn’t there a way to audit over the Internet some years back?

Ah …, that’s a DUH!
I forget whether it was here or in the Bunker a couple of days ago where someone posted an article about a religious cult gathering creating a massive spike in illness and deaths in their region; IIRC, it was in South Korea. Meanwhile both my wife and I have normal-for-us temps & no symptoms as I stay here and take pot-shots at Dwarfenführer’s tiny little cult of clapping clams, expecting it and him to garner national coverage as the science unbelievers who have qualified themselves for Darwin awards.
Yesterday, Pat’s best friend, a pharmacist, stopped by with some needed supplies. An hour ago, the oil company topped up our furnace’s fuel tank.
Remember folks, we’re “safer at home”. I’d much rather be ANYWHERE else, raising a ruckus, but this will have to do.
BTW…. Anyone heard from the infectious incubator M/V, Fleece-winds? I;m pretty sure they got through the measles quarantine, but have’t heard whether they or any other scn enterprise has dodged COVID-19 -— or NOT.
Last I heard, a major portion of the active clapping clams are Italian, putting a little more pressure on Flog, “Fleecewinds” & the AOs in UK, EU, Australia, & S. Africa. I suppose we’ll hear by about Easter from Dwarfenführer™ that his brilliant plan saved all scn from CATASTROPHE and only a handful of scns PTS to *us* were ultimately lost for the next 21 years. Of course, they’ll never admit that they’re ALL PTS to the Twit™, never mind that “PTS” is a “wrong why” — a VIRUS is the real WHY, but Tubby didn’t believe in science-based medicine, so they “discount” all medicine’s evidence in favor of his assertions offered with no evidence and counter to all science’s evidence. And he CLAIMED to be a scientist, engineer, and student of psychology; all claims as false as pretty much anything ELSE he said about himself. It’s a shame we didn’t have the Internet and information about scn unfiltered by scn’s propaganda machine 45-50 years ago, but good that it –and we– exist here and now — —to help vaccinate others against the deadly cult, long may its punching pontiff suffer from his karmic imbalance.

And remember:”If it ain’t in writing, it never was said.

I like the idea of getting them to DELIVER on some (small) promises before giving them anything as a reaction to one of their grandiose empty promises. IF they first deliver, they’ll get their PR “win”, and maybe a concession from the city council. They aren’t going to continue to be flagrantly “out-exchange” by receiving something of value to them before they deliver something other than false promises, or their statements which SOUND like promises but are just word games signifying nothing at the final accounting. The key point is to examine each of their statements, looking for how they’ll weasel out when they decide to (once again) do Clearwater a disservice.

The bobblerinder is VERY cool! AFAICT, voodoo dolls, for sticking pins in, don’t necessarily LOOK like the victims; It’s more your INTENTION directs the pain to the miscreant. At nearly 60 years old, he just might not NOTICE a few extra aches and pains unless they’re very specific. Then, if he’s had too few scotches, he might not feel ANY pain … until tomorrow morning, when he wouldn’t necessarily recognize a slightly more painful head or eyeball sockets. Other parts of his anatomy might be too TINY FOR a pin-stick to “hit”. All-in-all, I’m not sure a few pins in an effigy will cause him as much pain as he experiences every time Hurricanes Mike and Leah have taken aim on his minuscule fiefdom.
