So Marielle since you say you know, how many people came to the event you went to at Sac org? Or are YOU lying about knowing?

Ah! I see what you mean. Got it now. Sure, these people would be innocent. Thanks for explaining that, George 🙂

Aquamarine I used the term innocent meaning non Scientologists who turn up to these meetings. Ordinary everyday folk who get sucked into attending these meetings who end up subjected to recruitment attempts not the long serving existing members.

If only your problem were that “space is limited”!

If ONLY!

What a WONDERFUL problem that would be for you to have, eh?

OK, look, let’s postulate together for you to have this problem, shall we? “Limited Space” due to WAY too many people! Let’s make it happen – right now!!!!!!

But, wait…wait… come to think of it… the truth is, I’m no good AT ALL at creating scads of people out of thin air! I’ve just never been able to do it!

Now, don’t tell me; I know, I know; I must have an MU. A Crashing MU, possibly. Or else I’d be able to postulate this, and have it happen, no problem. Its me, definitely. Has to be a misunderstood word. I’ll get it handled, I promise.

But uh-oh- we need to get this scarcity of Scientologists situation handled NOW!

Damn! Where’s an OT8? Maybe 2 or 4 or 8 of them, even. Damn! Where are these Handy-Dandy Postulator types when you need them?

Some grammar nazi I am. Typos galore. I am covered in shame.

Somehow, this doesn’t sound like an invitation.

Invitations can be accepted or declined.
One has a choice in the matter.
Attend, or don’t attend.

Now, if one MUST SEE something, that communicates and order, a non-negotiable obligation obligation which in turn would effectively eliminate one’s option to decline, I would think.

A more honest communication would be, “You are encouraged to attend this mandatory event as soon as possible.”

At least it would be an honest communication.

George, they’re not “innocent” folk. The Old Guard, die hard still in Scientologists today are in no way “innocent”. Stubborn and purposefully blind, yes. Made stupid by decades of continual lying to others and themselves, yes, But, innocent? No. These people may put on a believable, wide eyed act, “I don’t know nuthin bad about my religion” act, but believe me, they know. They know plenty. There’s NOTHING innocent about them. They know what’s going on. They just don’t WANT to know. And so they don’t. As in “none so blind as those who will not see”, etc.

You are so right Loosing my Religion.

It’s a learning process, and one thing is to not allow the bad define your life, but to have learned from it. I have a t-shirt that says: “Goals for the day, be happy, be kind”.

And, don’t forget to be kind to yourself!
