Yes, what an incredible dedication to service and in such a dangerous and leaky mechanical device those submariners subjected themselves to. Mind boggling the guts that would have to take. Then again, anyone in service, especially during times of conflict puts everything on the line by just being there. I’ve shared some disgusting holes in the mud with buddies and it was home at the time.
People who’ve never experienced such things have the strangest opinions on the experiences of those who have. Howie’s later comment in the next article says it all about that poster – time to ignore such lunacy imo. Attention seeking can be such an insulting business created by such morons.

I didn’t believe I was bragging. The conditions on the diesel-electric submarines of the United States Navy were worse. Enlisted members of the crew had to share their bunks because conditions were so cramped. Enlisted members of the crew had to take turns sleeping.

LOL – love a good idiot!
Eleven to a room arouse you does it?

Surely you must know that people today do not have conditions as good as you used to have. Surely you must know that or at least you surely must suspect that? Isn’t that so?

I remember in the early 1990’s, we were told that the Ideal Orgs needed all available money to expand and so we could not get free electricity. We had to generate our own electricity using LRH tech!

We had to exercise by spinning on circular pads that would spin around and generate electricity. That is how my clan got its name. We were known as “The Spinners”.

But even though we had a much tougher time than you did, it all worked out for the best. We had to narrow our concentration and attach all of our mental acuity to LRH. As a result, we were all the able to concentrate better and we came away with a much better understanding of the tech.

All the better to spin with! Surely you must have heard that expression before. No? It means that by depriving ourselves of basic human rights, we were better able to focus on LRH’s writings.

COB called our clan the best model of how deprivation leads to a better way to get on up the bridge. There was only one clan who did any better than we did. They were on a plan to deprive themselves of all food. They eventually starved to death. But, MY OH MY! Those skinny bastards had a wonderful understanding of the tech and were able to go clear just three months after dropping their bodies.

There was an added benefit. When they dropped their bodies, they only weighed about 65 pounds. So no one was hurt by those dropping bodies.

To this day, that clan is still known as, “The Great Heroes Deprivation and Concentration on The Tech”. I don’t think they will ever be beaten! That is why they were called, “Concentration Camps”!

A benefit to raise money for local children in need is actually the last thing in the world that scientology cares about. A poor child in scientology terms is a downstat as well as a hindrance to moving up The Bridge to Total Freedom. Helping a needy child to a scientologist is not Clearing the planet. To some scientologists, a needy child is Dev-t, or Developed Traffic, an unnecessary hindrance to saving the world.

I should know: I belonged to that cult for 37 years.

These facilities are certainly not for transient tourists out to have a good time in Clearwater and its surrounding area.

Another clue: all the entrances to what usually be office and parking areas are now closed off by picket fences, with numerous ‘Private Property’ and ‘Tow Away Zone’ signs giving warning to the Wogs that they are not welcome here at any time.

Considering the squalid conditions revealed here, ‘Slave Quarters’ seems to describe the accommodations quite well.

I always think if Scientology just fessed up to their exorcism OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 levels, and just learned how to neutrally better define Scientology, they’d accomplish a far better leg to stand on.

Un-thorning Hubbard’s permanent thornpatch framework and rules of Scientology is a thankless job.

It’s been outsourced to ex members (and SPs) to explain even Scientology.

Thanks for your great book Mike.
