Scientology, the Grift That Keeps On Grinding.

Thanks for the inside info, it’s useful to know the cult hasn’t changed yet.
I LOVE Regraded Being strips!

Now, when I see a puffed promo of a purported successful OT, I think, “But let me see their financials.”

Too many times, as I got into deeper friendships with folks who did lots of “big league” donating and made it up to OT levels, I learned they had extremely complex and not-successful-at-all financial pictures. For instance, re-mortgaging their home five times, which means over their years in Scientology, they were paying off that initial home mortgage several more times, with interest, all to keep up the façade of being a person others should strive to be. Each also had one or more terrible past encounters, treasonous stuff, with fundraisers and registrars, which they always explained as: “But know that things are different now” and “Of course, that person who did those things was removed from post.”

Many times, smoke and mirrors. Not a sound, solid or enviable financial picture at all, when you peel away the veneer to see how the person REALLY was pulling off all this over-the-top donating. Precarious like an ancient rope bridge strung across a canyon with a raging river below. The ropes could come unstrung, easily, and whoever traversing plunged into the depths below (foreclosure, bankruptcy).

Many of us are familiar with the credit card savvy of Scientology org registrars and fundraisers. Any of these so-called big donators could be sitting in a few hundred thousand dollars of credit card debt. Another scenario I learned about from a person holding the purse strings: A wanna-be “whale” for Scientology who is affluent, but not multi-millionaire affluent, with a persuasive rege, hard sells a true “whale” to lend the whale wanna-be hundreds of thousands of dollars to donate so they can “achieve status” and also “inspire others to move up to their next level.”

It becomes the classic person-to-person loan in Scientology: The individual who lent the money gets modest or zero payments each month, the debt can only be addressed in Scientology ethics or Chaplain’s Court, the lender may never be 100 percent paid back.

As to the borrower: They either grow so cavalier they do not care and justify like mad that the rege made them do it and the super-rich fellow Scientologist “is not suffering (with their millions) owing to this $200,000 or $300,000 that I am not paying them back.”

Another outcome is, if the borrower has retained some sense of dignity and decency, they quietly turn away from the org and Scientology activities in abject shame. Like coming out of the fog of a hangover where the person recovers bits of what they have done the night before, and they SHUDDER with humiliation that they performed those acts, agreed with such over-the-top outrageousness. Somehow these Scientology registrars achieve, without the use of alcohol, crazy acts of self-plunder that make a drunken sailor seem rational by compare.

As some of us have seen (or experienced), this can be a humiliation that is not overcome and is only made worse by each subsequent org staff member visit to your home. And what do each one of these individuals say as you recount your tale of financial horror and the bad spot you are in: “But know that things are different now” and “Of course, that person who did those things was removed from post.”

Looks like I wasn’t the only one who J&D’ed about missing it. Thank you for confirming why we joke and degrade about their barely disguised money squeezes as seminars.

When I FIRST read RB’s comic with “Harnessing Postulates”…”Crushing Mest Universe Wavelengths”…”Melting Energy Deposits”…”Mastering Admiration Particles”…I thought RB was making this stuff UP and I fell over laughing at how brilliant and snarky and funny it was.

THEN I read further down and saw that he’d in fact LIFTED this rubbish word for word from actual seminar promo – and fell over laughing again – this time in amazement.

I mean, even for the cult, this stuff is over the top, no?

Good Lord!

Ok, I’m off to melt some energy deposits. Happy Weekend everyone!

“Mastering Admiration Particles.” That’s an easy one! You just lie your ass off: Stolen valor, phony job qualifications, claims to have averted nuclear war, etc. Of course, that “technology” is way outdated. With the advent of the internet, facts emerge that you can only side-step by creating hate web sites. Media presentations of your lies and atrocities win all kinds of awards while your own reputation now forces you to offer your wares anonymously or under the guises of front groups. Not good for statistics when you’ve become the punchline of any late-night comedian looking for an easy laugh.

“Melting Admiration Particles” is more like it!

The site reeks of $camalotmoneyology, so I don’t think I need to say any more except for ExoTech “Success Letters”, a whole one by, you guessed it a $camalotmoneyologist, Rick Melrose:

A steaming pile of $camalotmoneyology word salad.

Oh yes, can’t find ANY mention outside the company itself about how terrific Microsoft thinks they are. Bullshit galore as usual.

That is the most naked admission of guilt I have seen. Guilty of being a mind-control cult, that is. This is barely disguised cult-speak for “Don’t believe your lying eyes. We will tell you what’s true.”
