So When I did the Student Hat it was a two course of Fdn Hours each week which was evenings and weekends times 2

Total of 33 hours this means they do the course in 3.3 hours?

The tapes are longer than that and these pricks have to listen to them twice.

As usual the sums do not add up so they still do not know how to study as basic arithmetic is still out.

I would like to obtain tickets to the awards dinner. Can you hook me up?

Aquamarine -I feel your pain, but I believe Mike and others are quite right. Darkness and empty rooms followed the achievement of Ideal status in Pasadena and nothing changed. The delusions simply moved from one room to another, but never left.

I believe what drives the kool-aid drinkers is something much deeper than new tables and chairs. Scientology registers with beings at a fundamental level. Somewhere beyond hope or need of change and continues to resonate with them as long as there is some aspect of the original subject still remaining – even if it’s just symbols. It takes something this fundamental to keep Reality at bay; to keep people believing when all objects of that belief have been proved false.

No, even the Valley Org reduced to ashes and burning embers will still enthrall some.

Something of equal import has to happen to them to offset their original passion or love for the subject. Something that proves to them that Scientology – and all its potential – is really dead within that Church. Then their eyes will open, an empty hollow feeling will grow in the pit of their stomachs and Reality will collide with their delusions, shattering them for good.

Odd

I keep injecting what are essentially my own explanations and excuses into this situation because Its tough for me to confront how beaten down these people are, but I have to stop that. The answer is not complicated. They really are very far down, that’s all.

I hear you, Mike. And so has the Ideal Morgue in my area. Oh, well…

True. I doubt that Craig & Sally learned anything from the Pas Org that is down the hill from where they live…

Aquamarine, I feel the same. I don’t EVER allow my name to appear alongside anything to do with Scn on the internet. It could be detrimental financially to me to be linked with that insanity. I let the “church” know about 10 years ago how I felt about the scam. I also communicated to most of the Scn’ers I was then in contact with my position.

Hmmm…

Unfortunately, just down the road, the Pasadena Illusionists have sort of disproven this theory.
