Jere Lull–Oops. I bet that occurred because of spelling auto-correction. I think I’ve corrected that in this comment by copying and pasting your name.

I was in NY doing my academy levels at the time. What a load of balderdash that was. I did the “minister’s” course, of course, since it was required before my next course, but never wore any of the trappings or called myself a minister other than sardonically.

Fred, you got the pronunciation right, but I’m sorta proud of having two 4-letter words for a name.

True, Dwarfenführer IS “f@#%ed up”, especially when it comes to the 2nd Dynamic in any of its forms.

WHERE IS SHELLY!?
Can you even remember her in your drunken haze?

Yes, Jerry Lull, the words “nothing,” “nada,” and “zilch,” are beautiful words–if only scientology would shut its friggin’ mouth.

A message to scientology: “Religious Image,” my a**

Thanks very much for sharing that, Glenn.

I fully expect Scientology to shrink to a group of store fronts after Der Dwarfenführer passes.

“Somewhere along the way, scientology added a bunch of flowery words to describe itself, such as ministry; faith; ecclesiastical; religious covenant; parishioner; religious order.”

This came about in the late 70s when a policy titled “Religious Image” was issued and all orgs and missions were required to create such an image. Auditors had to wear white collars, crosses had to be hung in public areas and Sunday services were to commence. None of the staff wanted to do any of it and that reluctance proved to me it wasn’t a religion at all.

Nope! As narcissists, they’re convinced they’re the brightest, most attractive beings in their orbits, no matter how disgusting they are in real life.

Hey! If scientology ceased pretending being what it’s not, they would have NOTHING to say. That would be an improvement, of course, and I look forward to the day when there are no more scns or lackeys of Dwarfenführer® to bray his incessant lies . My blood pressure will likely plummet as a result.
