As you may know, there is a cat on Tony O’s site who continually updates and saves a list of the thousand nicknames of David Miscavige. I agree that saving these ‘notable statuses (statii?)’ is a worthy thing to do 🙂

As an aside, I don’t know that I agree with Scientology as a thought philosophy, but I support the people who do. And I especially support the unfortunate adherents who are still trapped in the mental prison of the corporate ‘church’ (which I am unsure is even ‘Scientology’ at this point). I appreciate every indie who sticks his neck out to speak against the atrocities going on on our soil, in the name of Co$, yet still loves his beliefs. One can think LRH a fraud – that’s fine – but such bravery among adherents is noteworthy and very American, if you will… These people take real, serious, profound losses in order to fight this machine… That’s why I think that indie respect is important among never-ins on boards like this – it’s okay not to ‘like’ LRH stuff, but the indies are flipping brave, if you ask me. Saving things like “church statuses” and the thousand nicknames of Dear Leader, and boards – as written by indies, especially – can go a long way toward helping a lurker who’s under the radar, big time. (It helped me, a never-in, to be an active protester, for instance…)

Have a great day, gang. I dreamt about Scn last night and that my ex-husband was a Miscavige-like adherent/leader of the Co$… I’d better take a break today 🙂

Ideal Orgs HAD to be done in order to attract new public and be 100% LRH (at least that was the make-belief)

SuperPower HAD to be done in order to release “LRH prescribed” SuperPower rundowns for staff and government official and so have the power to clear the planet for real.

Even for IAS – continuous fear mongering of how the world would “collapse on itself” if you don’t donate to all the social betterment programs that the IAS supposedly finances. See, you need the world in place in order to continue to do Scientology.

And all these programs had LRH directly behind the (or so was the make-belief).

Hall-Museum? How necessary is that for the delivery of Scientology and continued survival of the world? And where is LRH behind that? I never even heard LRH mention the word “museum.” It’ll be a much harder concept to sell and something that may actually become evident as in fact now taking away from delivering Scientology as I’m sure many are going to want to see the delivery now that all the Ideal Orgs (or most of them) and the SuperPower building are in place.

Honestly, I don’t think this Hall-Museum idea will sell. Other things were supported by “urgent necessity” linked to delivery of Scientology:

Brilliant! This should be saved somewhere for reference. It’s a great summary scale of attitudes.

“It’s like they have to, they have to keep going, keep donating and keep nodding and smiling knowing they are being lied to and bilked because to do otherwise is to admit that not only were they wrong but that they were foolish too.”

Exactly. They’ve made too many excuses for too long. They HAVE to be right. Complexity and confront. How not to confront? Swill some more Koolaid and donate some more. Its a way to not have to look or be responsible.

I’ll bet Herr Tiny Boots prefers more “manly” jackboots.

He’s a disgusting person. Poor Lou.

Robert, did you not get the news about all the alterations in the new books? The Bridge is not promoting or selling the real works of LRH, at least as far as basic books are concerned.

Right Carcha! I’ve been having quite a few conversations with non scngsts who are curious about the controversy. I haven’t met a single person who didn’t easily understand the difference between the cult, run by an asshole, and the true philosophy of scn, which has achieved spiritual gains for many including myself. The “never ins” are a hip bunch that see through all the bs and think LRH’s flaws are of the “normal, human” variety. They always wish me success on whatever spiritual path I choose. I wish them the same.

OS,

Most people don’t even know or care what Scientology is since they are not obsessed with the subject like you and the so called “critics”.

In fact the idea that it may be a fringe “cult” which happens to be getting a lot of bad press by the Corporate media these days may actually be selling point to many.

I mean we were getting a lot of bad press during the ’70’s yet it was a period of the Church’s biggest expansion.

It’s like who cares if it isn’t embraced by the establishment.

Scientology is for individuals who can think for themselves and can see that it works by their own observation.

The problem is that the Church no longer allows that diversity of view and has become a microcosm of a Fascist Totalitarian State.

At least that’s my view.

Yours obviously differs.

I clicked on links and from there went to more links so I am not sure where, but I started on Tony O’s site. I’ll look for this one again and post where you can find it. The lady was Italian. Wish I could remember her name. I”ll go searching for it again.
