Yeah, I hear ya. It’s a considerable consideration to live with hey… it’s seems only appropriate that at least one of the ungracious bastards would do something useful every now and again. I guess the best of the practical knowledge gleaned from Scientology is much the same as how a dog must eventually consider fleas. Especially when itch comes to scratch!

Martial arts maybe useful?

Ha Ha! Yeah,Yawn by the law of averages, with us carting all their sorry BT asses around for the past 75 million years, you’d think ONE of them could have helped a being win SOMETHING. Not mention us having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get rid of them; you’d think they’d at least OFFER to share in this expense. Time and again they violate the principle of exchange. Its disgraceful, is all.

Hah!

Seriously tho – one would think with billions of lifetimes someone would have taken a design class.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate that you appreciate what a sarcastic bitch I can be.

Actually, I’m not. These little things are just how I blow off steam. Steam from the same source, which is my misunderstanding of the Still Ins.

If I didn’t make jokes about the cult and the Still Ins’ cluelessness, what I’d be saying over and over would be some slight variation of the following:

“I don’t understand these people! How – HOW? Can they NOT see what is right under their noses? How can the intelligent people who were once my friends NOT see what is so obvious? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?”

Because – I don’t get it! I don’t understand these people. I can’t conceive of their mindset. I try, but I can’t. If I could only, once and for all, understand them, I could just accept it. But I can’t really get it. Its possible I’ll go to my grave not getting it!

Sarcasm is a coping mechanism 🙂

Please do calculate that.

Wow, that’s really something Aqua.
I’ve had loss after loss. You’d think with the zillions of BTs stuck to you at least one of ’em would come up with the right lotto numbers. Sheesh… what a bummer those freeloaders turned out to be!

Philip, Smorbie, Jere. LOL! I think we basically agree

Here’s my take: There were a few valid points which LRH could have made far more clearly and succinctly.

This is just me but the points I derived are “might makes right” in the physical universe, that the measure of a man’s true character is how merciful and kind he is to others when he has the physical force and other power to hurt those others with no danger of being hurt himself, and the third is that the physical universe is wholly one of force and as such does not reward mercy, kindness, caring for ones fellow man, etc., being of force, it only rewards force.

That’s what I extrapolated but I would totally agree that the language was unnecessarily convoluted and esoteric in expressing a few simple, ageless truisms.

Balletlady, I’ll F ‘n try.

Damn those pesky Body Thetans! I feel your pain, Aquamarine.
