A little light hearted entertainment in the deadly serious business of making money in scientology.
You may recall some of the earlier entrants in the Scientology Crazy Stakes — we have seen some wonderful pieces from David Wilson (who specialized in historical fact vs. fiction parallels) and Mike Smith (who specialized in getting his dates and facts so screwed up nobody had a clue what he was talking about). These two have gone strangely silent, opening the door for some new contenders to step into cage. Today we have a challenger we have not heard from before and something from one of our tried and true favorites.
Where do they find these crazy people? And what does it say about the state of the organization when crazy people are the top FSMs?
What is especially sad is that these people appear to be deadly serious… Nothing tongue in cheek in the world of fundamentalist scientologists.
First, the newcomer and challenger for the title of Craziest FSM on Earth — Randall Michael Tobin, or RMT as he is known in the business:

Subject: MUST READ: Bedtime Story IXDear Theta Buddies,
You know what I like best about being a Scientologist?
I get to do things today that will help create the world we will come back to tomorrow.
Let’s say, in a future life, you’re talking to your family.
The story might go something like this…
——————————————————————-
Son: “Tell us another story dad!”Daughter: “Yeah… The last one about GAT 2 was the BEST EVER!”
You: “Yeah. That was quite the liftoff for an amazing rocket ride!”
Daughter: “All those cool rundowns, new courses and the only meter we’ve ever seen…”
Son: “Yeah! I can’t wait until I’m old enough to fly one… I mean, use one. So what happened after that?”
You: “Well, according to grandpa… all of a sudden, it seemed like everyone was starting the new GAT 2 courses, which meant the Student Hat course for most.”
Son: “You mean everyone had to wear hats to course?”
Daughter: “Hahahaha…”
You: “That’s one definition of ‘hat’. You did ‘Learning How to Learn’ and you learned how to study, right? The Student Hat is like that, except for when you’re older. The ‘hat’ is the skill set and expertise you need to study anything. When you finish the course, you ‘wear’ the hat any time you study a subject or want to learn more about something. You could actually have a cap with ‘Student’ on the front and put it on every time you study; say… that’s an idea…”
Son & Daughter: “Never Mind!”
You: “I’m just kidding… But what I’m NOT kidding about, is that once everyone was on the new courses and the course rooms were packed, the orgs had the highest ever student points in history, week after week! It took the Birthday Game to a whole different universe! (You remember what the Birthday Game is, right?)”
Daughter: “Yeah! That’s when the orgs on their horses all race around the track…”
Son: “…and we all get to eat LOTS OF CAKE!”
You: “Yeah… That’s right! So, what made that LRH Birthday event the biggest and best ever, was it was the first one following the release of GAT 2. Talk about a bunch of birthday presents for Ron…”
You: “If you could give Ron anything in the world for his birthday, what would it be?”
Son: “I’d join the Sea Org!”
You: “That’s mighty courageous of you! I bet you’d make a fine officer… And what about you?”
Daughter: “I want to be the best auditor I can be and help as many people as I can.”
You: “You guys make me so proud… I’m sure Ron would be very happy to have those gifts…”
Son & Daughter: “I love you, Dad…”
You: “Hugs all around and it’s time for bed…
Son & Daughter: “Good night, Dad…”
You: (whispered) “May your dreams have no limits…”
——————————————————————-So… Were YOU there at 4:30 p.m on Saturday, March 22nd, 2014, at the Shrine Auditorium?
I thought so…
ML,
RMT
He scores a couple of crazy points for his “theta buddies” introduction and the use of a new device — the future bedtime story that allows the creation of anything he wishes were the case. A pretend future talking about pretend today to encourage people to fork over their cash to re-do the Student Hat.
Pretty crazy.
But then we have the undisputed heavyweight crazy champeen of the world, Pat Parody.
He comes to us with some new moves designed to impress:

Subject: Sunday Note and QuoteIts Sunday Note and Quote time!
Last night Los Angeles Scientologists gathered at the Shrine to see the LRH Birthday Event, which was held at Flag the previous week. The entire event was fantastic, the stories we heard of LRH’s life and experiences, prior to Dianetics and Scientology, his impact, even then, on the culture of the time and of course, the Birthday Game winners along with GAT II successes and wins made this a very memorable event and evening!
For me personally, it was another full week of Survival Rundown auditing and being audited. Although I am putting in 25 hours a week on study, it doesn’t seem like it. When one is auditing and has one’s TR’s in, time is irrelevant. And, when you are running the process and are in that amazing “mix” which the Objectives case seems to throw at you, time again seems to go away and you are just in that moment, doing that next command! I am experiencing case gain I never imagined I could have – from Objectives! After all, I am a New OT VIII, right-LOL! Well lets just say this; it is my opinion that the “Objectives case” is only handled with Objectives and mine has been waiting to go in session almost 40 years. Enough said!
The following quote from Ron had a very personal message to me. It seems to be about changing conditions in ourselves so that we can then help to change conditions in others and so work towards actually clearing this planet. True, as I confront the physical universe in the Objective processes I am running, I am seeing how I have personally pulled away from MEST and others. When we can stop battling the MEST universe and the universes of other beings, who are in fact, just trying to get along as best they can, then we can really move towards clearing Earth. Enjoy the wisdom our founder has given us.
The Golden Age of Knowledge Phase II is ready to raise your awareness, upgrade your ability to study and learn any subject, give you the poise and confidence to confront, control and read a meter and become a fully competent auditor. And, if you arrive to Flag, you can do your L’s, Cause Resurgence or Super Power and rise to heights were no one will ever be able to strike you down or cripple you again as a being. Please, take advantage of the decades of hard work, the millions and millions of Sea Org man-hours and Mr. Miscavage’s unrelenting Tone 40 intention to provide us with 100% Standard Tech. And let me know how I can assist you to make it happen. Have a great week!
Much love,
Pat
Yes, the champ has come up with a brand new concept — “the Objectives Case” that has been “waiting to go in session for 40 years.” This guy has gone all the way to OT VIII and has to somehow explain how he is now back at the bottom of the Bridge and having “wins” redoing his Objectives and somehow this was all missed in his 40 years of progressing up the Bridge. Brilliant idea — something that has nothing to do with him, just some sort of “over-there case” that has been completely unknown for 40 years. Now that he has completed NOTs and his body is transparent and has had the Truth Revealed to him, he is just now confronting the physical universe. That is crazy man! And even better, because he is talking about “his case” nobody is going to “invalidate” him. It’s a great line to get agreement.
And just for some icing on the cake, he gets in some nice brown-nosing on Mr. Miscavage — but even after all this time he still cannot spell his name right…
People really give these people their money — like they are opinion leaders for fundamentalist scientologists?
THAT IS crazy.
Gus Cox says
Oy, Randy Tobin. So he goes by Randall and his middle name too now, eh? He’s still an idiot.
Pat Parody (I like that spelling better too, Mike 🙂 has always been a bit dim.
This new Scientology is just right for them. They can have it.
Frik Blaauw says
Damn nice Scotch . . . .they say the same as Dear Leader has delivered! Cheers!
Frik Blaauw says
OT VIIIs like this give the business a bad name. I used to look up to them.
knatherthomas says
A very dear (now ex) friend of mine was quite eager to redo her objectives after becoming OT VIII because she wanted the “wins” she was hearing from those who preceded her. It breaks my heart to see this form of addiction in someone who should know there really are no more case opening “wins to be had.” Guess all HCOBs re: Bypassed Cases have been canceled or worse, reissued with new data. BTW, what is the recently added, all new secret ingredient to the Purif?
Mike Rinder says
…what is the recently added, all new secret ingredient to the Purif?
An extensive and wonderful glossary personally slaved over by Dear Leader to ensure every single term is correctly defined.
Along with a special blue colored cup with an S and double triangle logo for dispensing the vitamins.
Praise be to Lord Voldemort for his tenacious dedication to KSW.
MJ says
Please pass the Scotch.

Well Spoken !
FOTF2012 says
I love that he misspelled Miscavige. That must be a high crime. Where’s he go next? Ethics, or straight to RPF?
Pepper says
“May your dreams have no limits”
Sure, RMT. Just make sure you’re not in the FCoS, which is a dream crusher. You would be “out-ethics” or “insane” to have “dreams” when there’s so much to be done to clear the planet, don’t you know that?
I hope RMT is not parenting young children these days. Those poor kids would be living in a fantastical world, disconnected from real life and groomed for the Slave Org. No “dreams” for them.
This is not the same person I knew 15 years ago. I think I know what happened though: Fundamentalism. .
Pat, Pat, Pat! What can I say? I’ve known him for over 20 years. He’s always been hard-core but now seems to have more than one “case” running at the same time. Guess all those OT levels didn’t quite do the trick for him. It’s amazing how proud he is of his unhandled case, which is “throwing things” at him. Wow.
I think all his yak is basically to sell services to people. He is an FSM, after all and needs to make a buck, which I’m sure has become increasingly difficult.
I have a friend who’s OT8 and did her SRD. She told me she had the exact same phenomena that she had on L11. I never did L’s, so I have nothing to compare this data too. Just thought it was interesting.
Cindy says
Go Alex! Glad you got out and you’re here with us.

MESSAGE TO DAVID MISCAVIGE AND HIS OSA CRIMINAL BRAINWASHED BOTS:
David, you must realize by now that you have really been found out for what you are: a criminal, evil being who has been attempting to hide behind the image of LRH, the man who trusted you, the man you so horribly betrayed, the man you wanted dead so that you could carry out your dirty, greedy intentions of becoming an almighty powerful individual. Yes, you have been found out, not just by Scientologists but by the rest of the world. The cult you have created, way far off what Scientology was meant to be, is now recognized as a SCAM and you are no longer recognized as a religious leader but only as a clever Cult Leader with the ability to instill fear on others who believe in your scam. You fleece lots of money off those who believe in your lies, you punish those who doubt you, you recruit children into the sea org so that they become your cheap labor force regardless of how much they risk their well-being and health to serve you, Among the intelligent people of what you call the “wog” world, no one would ever come near your cult to seek help or advice.In fact, the “wogs” (apart from the true Scientologists who are out here watching your insane and evil behavior-of which we are many more than those who follow you today) are the majority on this “uncleared” planet. We are really watching you, David Miscavige. For many of us, you have become a scourge. You are now something the world of decent people can do without. You do not deserve to be a part of the human race. You will soon be put out of action just as criminals of your kind eventually are.After being found out, David, you still have the chance to run with the money you have stolen from thousands of believers and disappear like some of the Nazi criminals did. You are doomed to utter failure. Give it up.
I know you from the old days in Clearwater. You did your best to destroy me because I was loyal to LRH. I know who you were then, I know who you are now, you are one and the same. You never changed, only got worst.
Alex Castillo 1973-1980 OEC,FEBC, DSEC HEJSC trained and experienced Flag Management Evaluator during the time LRH was alive
Alex castillo says
Further to my previous message, realize, David Miscavige, that you are not only dealing with Mike Rinder and Marty Rathbun. You are now dealing with many others who have been witness to your insane craving for power, from way back when your cloudy, whiskey memory can’t recall. We are too many for you to even figure out who is trying to make you quit. Think back to 1978-1980. The days when Scientology was actually succeeding in helping people, when Orgs were not “Ideal” but just full of people wanting to have a better life. Think back of when Flag Management was effectively using real stats and was using LRH’s Data Series to help Orgs improve their performance. Think back when you so “cleverly” got rid of all of us who were there for the real purpose of helping others succeed. Just think of how you got rid of all of us. Think back of what Scientology was then without you and your REALLY SQUIRREL methods. How can you call others squirrel when you have turned scientology into an unrecognizable, unworkable, mind damaging cult. That was you intention then, and it is your intention now. But, like I said before, the world is aware of who and what you are. No where to hide, David. And too many of us making sure you don’t go somehow unpunished for your very much High Crimes against Scientology and the Human Race.
Disaffected says
” After all, I am a New OT VIII, right-LOL!” . Any thoughts here, anyone?
Me thinks: Yeah not only LOL, but more ROFLOL here!
remoteviewed says
Ya got that right DA.
” After all, I am a New OT VIII, right-LOL!”
Yep that pretty much covers the state of “OT” in the Church these days.
Maybe Pat the Parody is more prescient than I give him credit for. Either that or his efforts at “humor” are really unintentional excises in irony and satire.
In other words Parody.
You know like his discovery of his “objectives case” and what ever “mix” (of what Scientology and TM?) he is incoherently babbling about. Maybe Miscavige could move over this one time and allow Pat the honor of the receiving the prestigious Squirrel of the Year award.
Disaffected says
remoteviewed, I love your sense of humor 🙂
This idiot doesn’t even realize how much he “jokes ‘n degrades” the highest level of the Bridge by demonstration. Once this Bridge supposedly lead to Total Freedom. Nowadays it seems to lead to Total Stupidity.
remoteviewed says
Yes and it’s obvious that Pat has fully attained that state.
Now he’s moving up to total moron which I hear only the COB himself has been able to achieve. 😉
Disaffected says
Pat “Parodi” Parody:
“I am experiencing case gain I never imagined I could have – from Objectives! After all, I am a New OT VIII, right-LOL! Well lets just say this; it is my opinion that the “Objectives case” is only handled with Objectives and mine has been waiting to go in session almost 40 years. Enough said!”
Enough said indeed!
P.s. I can’t help to wonder how the hell he will ever reg any sane person for the OT levels after such a demonstration of OT VIII powahzzz. Mister Objectives case, un-fu**ing believable.
theholedoesnotexist says
“…I am seeing how I have personally pulled away from MEST and others.”
There’s the difference between Then and Now. There were always a few facepalm cheerleaders like Tobin and Parodi who sniffed the glee habitually, but these were the minority. The rest of us just slowly backed away toward the exits when they entered the room.
Now they seem to be the majority … and there are no exits. Some might call that an asylum.
remoteviewed says
After reading those two emails Mike. I was wondering why the push to legalize Pot in this State when you could just find out what these guys are smokin’.
Good catch on this “objectives case” Parody mentions. Sorta like throgmagog I guess. A self created case of some kind. Maybe what Pat really needs is more R3SC or some rundown that addresses this automanticy of his.
Like you say supposedly he went all the way to OT VIII and never realized he had it till he was told he had to do the SRD.
Your right Mike. He’s the type of guy who is totally propitiative to *authority*. I mean if someone in management told him to poke out his eye with a sharp stick or drink cyanide laced koolaid that’s exactly what Pat would do.
Right here its obvious that he’s mocking up an “objective case” to make his buddy Dave happy and make him right for squirreling up the tech even more.
Ain’t that cute?
Tobin.
Well Tobin has this delusion that he’s a big OL of some kind.
You need somebody to push the party line?
Just call Randy.
The guy calls himself an “areteest” yet any original idea he’s probably had was somewhere on the whole track. Like this cutzy lil’ play on the future.
Already covered with the Jetsons. Maybe Woody Allen’s Sleeper. Going back at least to HG Wells yet there’s Randy trying to fob it off as “original”.
Randy’s “Brave New World” in many ways looks like a future version of 1984.
‘Nuff said.

RMT… You watched too many ” Father Knows Best ” in your youth. You are a Whackadoodle my friend.

Here we go again, with the coercion of children into the SO at a young age. Doesn’t he know that spending this time with his children is completely off purpose, dev-t, low production, other fish to fry??!! The planet could be a cinder any second and gag 2 is going to save everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 2D is cancelled!!!!!!!! G#*@#fu@*%king dammit!!!!!!!!!!!
Old School says
I’m pretty speechless. Both of them are certifiably insane. Pat was always close to being in glee. Don’t know the other guy. I wonder if Parodi believes that crap or is doing it because he has no other way to pay the rent?
Markthehungarian says
I wonder the same thing. At the end of the day, the reason is irrelevant. Both emails – but in my mind the first has the edge – are BATSHIT CRAZY. How is it that neither gets any feedback along the lines of… “dude, you need to cut this sort of shit out, because you are coming across as a nutter”?
Are the people they send this craziness to just as mad as they are? Or are any alarm bells ringing at all?
The children’s bedtime story is revolting. Not least because having children is a BIG no-no in the Sea Arghhh.
Craziness.
Formost says
Even the NOTs series in no uncertain terms clearly illustrates earlier Objectives are undercuts to the case.
I could see some OT VIIIs getting a little relief from all the case stirred up by mixing sec checking related cycles with NOTs/Solo NOTs as well as the introverting impact of the enturbulating FLAG regerama environment no different than locationals direct attention outward and off the bank.
As such, I would like to indicate the correct item is “NOTS done in the Independent Scientology Movement”.
See how easy that handling was … lol.
hgc10 says
From what I can tell, Mr. Parodi spends 25 hours a week being hypnotized into believing that time is irrelevant. It’s a vicious circle.
Alex castillo says
Mike,
Thank you for the yet another example of the insanity that is so rampant among David Miscavige’s followers.
It outrages me to see that in the name of the founder, apart from destroying individual’s lives and families and enslaving children,David Miscavige and his minions are actively disseminating, promoting and selling INSANITY. These criminals are actively destroying people’s Minds to such degree that the Being can no longer manifest itself in a positive manner. To me, and I’m sure to many others, these activities are the ultimate demonstration of Evil. No excuses.
Dave B. says
“… the stories we heard of LRH’s life and experiences, prior to Dianetics and Scientology, his impact, even then, on the culture of the time…”
Now THAT is funny.
I’ve grown accustomed to the kult hyperbole re: Ron the Precocious Wunderkind. But, “impact on the culture, even then?” It’s off the charts now.
Mike Rinder says
Yes, that comes from the all-time King of Crazy — a man who needs no introduction, which is to say, someone who takes the view from 10,000 feet, notwithstanding his grounding in solid imagination, the master of the run-on sentence and tortured modifiers and it goes without saying, a writer with a unique style, not to mention his absolutely unmatched and unbelievable delivery — Mr. Dan Sherman.
MJ says
O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling…
Just Me says
Laughing. Out. Loud. Oh, Mike! I guess you have to laugh not to cry.
And then there’s that cray cray talk about the Objectives Cases of OTVIIIs?
I’m no kind of Scientologist anymore. But how in hell does anyone who IS a Scientologist think with this news? Do they completely (using the vernacular) not-is everything they’ve ever learned as a Scientologist?! Do they just sit at their computer screens nodding bobble-headed at the concept that the Bridge is never DONE? That the Bridge, like the multiplication tables, is something you grok better and better every time you do it?
If I were still chained inside the Church of Scientology these days and did not have the courage to explore my very strong spidey senses that something is badly wrong, I think it would be obvious that I would have to DIE to escape the indentured servitude Scientology has become. If you’re a loyal, corporate Scientologist — Sea Org, staff or public — and you’re unable to confront the cold hard truth of your own slavery, then DEATH truly is your only way out.
Wendy M says
Hilarious Mike!!
Cindy says
Hilarious Mike! You accurately channeled the late (almost), great, Danny Sherman!
Valerie says
First of all Mike, when did you sneak in and take the photo of a poor overworked Sea Orger?
Second. I have grandchildren in grade school. I frequently read the tortured essays the tortured missives they write to me and try to make sense of what they are saying in them. Sometimes I just pretend to understand what they meant. Therefore, I have had massive training in understanding the preschool to third grade writing style.
That having been said:
Huh?
Hallie Jane says
LOL!
Joe Pendleton says
Parodi & “rmt” ….. now there are two lucid individuals you want guiding you up the grade chart … and taking your money …. yeah …. right
1subgenius says
Misspells Miscavige. Well, so do I sometimes: McSavage.
Bela says
Misspells Miscavige…too funny! I’m sure that will earn him some unwanted attention. How dare he!

Correct spelling is McScavenger.
Hallie Jane says
But Bela, he’s out of pt…….he’s working on it!
Cooper Kessel says

Jamin Emmanuel says
Well those FSM are there for the money !!! I never met one who was there to clear the planet or expand the org. They are ALLLLL motivated for $$$$$. When the selectee paid for the service, they forced them to start on services. Of course, the FSM was asking to have 2 intensives debited to get double commisions…. Same for the IAS…
Disaffected. says
So true! Most FSM’s are leaches, rarely met a honest one. If you are using your actual name… Were you at one time Dissem sec, or maybe even Supercargo at ASHO? If not, never mind. But in case you are, we have some stuff to discuss.

That deluded nonsense from Randall Michael Tobin is the dopiest bunch of drivel I’ve seen in a while. I hope to God he doesn’t have kids. He really needs to read Jillian Schlesinger’s account over at Tony’s blog and wake the hell up.
MJ says
Great successes, eh? Makes me wanna bring all my upstat ‘wog’ friends to a briefing. Oh wait, I just remembered I’ve got some commitments for the next several lifetimes. Sorry Randy and Pat. Keep up the good work. I’m with you in the theetie weetie universe brahs. You guys are unbelievable – I mean it!
tony-b says
Mike, thanks for your portraits of the koolaiders who are surrounding the Dear Misleader even if they can’t spell his name. Way back the boast was that Scientology would boost your IQ but if these poster people are the best ads for the results to be had buyer beware. It must be very hard to attract new folks into such company. In contrast the people leaving are eloquent and pretty lucid considering the journey into Lunanon and back that they have had. You must often think about where you would be now and what you would have had to deal with if you hadn’t made the decision to skip that commuter train to Saint Hill to report for RPF duty back a few years ago.
Gee, I can’t imagine why the local org here that was hopping three decades ago is now a ghost town? When I asked I was told Oh it will be busy towards the evening (yeh sure!).
Dan Locke says
I know both these guys and their wives and like them. Even so, I am not surprised at any of this.
Randy should be hired to write for the church’s new t.v. station. I think that I could help him out on the writing, and I would be willing to do it without credit. What I like about it so far is the 50’s feel that it’s got – a very “Leave it to Beaver” kind of scene is what he has given us here, and there could be many more fun episodes to write – with June and Ward resolving different situations as best they can – with constant reference to their leatherbound “Basics” libraries (when Ward and June came into a family inheritance, they wisely put half of it in the IAS and the other half for services at Flag, but a week later the Flag regges called him again and persuaded them to change their service payments to basics purchases, and each family member got a full library that they store in boxes underneath Beaver and Wally’s bunkbeds,)
When things really get out of hand at the Cleaver household, Ward tags the local org EO and the kids do lowers! The episode where June and Ward both are caught in an “out-2D” of “sending 2d flows” to some cute Scientologists at the org’s yearly casino night, bake sale and talent show fund raiser would be a lot of fun to write. (SPOILER ALERT: Both June and Ward are regged separately to get out of this mess – Ward takes out a 3rd on the house as, unbeknownst* to Ward, June is maxing out the credit cards. Kind of a dark O.Henry sort of storyline.)
On this show, there could even be episodes where we see the Cleavers dealing with the upsets and vagaries of the public Scientologists’ lives – like the late late night unannounced visits from the IAS and the various Ideal Org regges waking the Cleaver parents and there could also be episodes about SO recruiters taking the kids out for a “recruitment interview” and we can view how the “Ideal Family” (that’s got to be right around the corner as an official status from the church) copes with this. Could be very good for everybody!
You heard it here first, folks: obviously the auditor training films have been a roaring success with dozens of auditors auditing dozens of hours internationally, so there’s soon to be an “Ideal Family” program set up for all Scientologists to aspire to, and that will include training films. Family Training Film 1 (FTR1) – “Do As Your Told and Don’t Think About it.” Any guesses about what other titles might come about?
MJ says
Sounds great Dan. Eddie Haskell should be their FSM.
Dan Locke says
Exactly.
Cindy says
Danny, I loved your post! Yes it did have that Leave It to Beaver Cleaver household vibe to it. Thanks for the laugh.
Cooper J Kessel says
Then there are the actions that defy the crazy cult in a bubble…….
I am really encouraged to read the story of Jillian Schlesinger on Tony and Karens’ Blog. That girl exemplifies sanity and courage and gives me a lot hope for those remaining inside the cult that they too can rise above the suppression and say “THAT’S IT!”
She shows a lot a grace and poise and despite plenty of reasons to be bitter, she does not go there. My best wishes go out to Jillian and her family.
You have also done a huge favor to your friends still in to help show them the path to total freedom! Good on ya girl …. you rock!
Mike Rinder says
I agree Coop. Anyone who has not read Tony’s blog or seen Karen’s videos should do so tout de suite.
Cindy says
I agree. Jillian, you rock!!!!!
Doug Parent says
I remember both of those individuals. Victims of institionalized thought and behavior modification. Personality replacement from ones own to the beingness to a “Scientologist” like a walking talking doll that spits out socially acceptable and group reinforcing propaganda. So sad. Live replacement, goal replacement, synthetic personality replacement. ‘Going UP” the bridge is a misnomer. Going DEEPER into the bridge” seems more correct somehow and this just serves as another example as to WHY the profit driven, statistic centered non-stop emergency condition laden organization can NEVER produce an enlightened spiritual being whose abilities have been honed to enable the creation and realization of his OWN goals. Honestly Mike, the more of this that I see on your blog the more obvious and real that the Church of Scientology really is like the Truman Show movie.
Cindy says
Doug Parent, I think I may know you. Can you give your email to me or email me at janedoe2@hushmail.com?
plainoldthetan says
“institionalized thought and behavior modification”…I think PP and RMT have revealed a previously undocumented level in the State of Case Scale: Delusional Dub-in of Case Gain.
DollarMorgue says
Mr Tobin apparently thinks that his audience has regressed to childhood and needs comforting – or else he really is trying to comfort himself.
Mr Parodi is simply applying Miscavige excavation technology. If you can find lost tech, it follows that you can find lost and hitherto unknown case.
A staff member recently told me about GAG 2.0, I quote “the bridge is all new!” I think they actually believe that, as if they’d never had it before. Like really, all new, brand, sparkling, spanking, shiny, never before seen new. This from a person who has been on staff for at least 20 years. Very peculiar.
More importantly, the brain drain goes on, talent is jumping ship. This is good, because even those unsure about leaving are waiting to see other people do GAG 2.0 and live rather than just mouth real wins before giving it one last try.
Keep up the good information, Mike. There are only a few who don’t want the help.
Valerie says
His audience needs comforting, that is probably very sad but true. “Please buy this doorknob.” “But I have a doorknob.” “Yes, but you bought that one last year.” “This one is shinier, so we are taking the old one away from you. Besides, it will fit on the new door you’re going to have to buy next week.” “There there, calm down now, someday you will be able to go in the house, I promise.”
Darien says
Ha! To expand upon your metaphor;
“here buy this doorknob”
“But I just finished buying doorknobs from you. I even bought 20 extra doorknobs for my friends!”
“Yeah but these doorknobs are better.”
“But you told me that the ones I bought were the best doorknobs ever made. You said that if I changed even one screw it wouldn’t be as good as they are now! You even said that no one in the next million year would ever come up with a better doorknob! What happened?!”
“Yeah, turns out the designer came up with a better design…”
“Now wait a second, isn’t the guy who designed these dead?”
“Yeah…um…but we actually found some new designs that he…er…left behind!”
“So your saying a paid tens of thousands of dollars putting these doorknobs on my doors—my friends doors, and actually you guys were even following the right designs?!?!”
“Well, technically…yeah.”
“So are you going to refund me for these substandard doorknobs?”
“Um…no.”
“Are you going to at least let me trade them in for the new ones?!”
“Sorry, we can’t really do that.”
“Well that’s just $&@?ing swell!!”
“…While we are on the topic though, you should probably tell your friends to rebut there doorknobs too, you know…”
*slams door and locks the doorknob*
“Seems to work pretty well to me.”

“the bridge is all new!” This is just about the only stable datum a staff member can adopt in order to justify the regurgitation of Miscavige’s Int Events to people who progressed steadily up the Bridge only to find themselves at the bottom.

Dollar,
You said something which I agree with 100% and have said several times here before but didn’t want to repeat myself. Well I guess I’m going to again.
The mind control exerted on the public in the CoS reduces people to an dependent, infantilized state. They become completely dependent on having their well-being connected to the church. Their work, friendships, family connections and even their immortality are hinged on being “a good Scientologist” and remaining in good standing. That’s why you see someone like RMT telling a bedtime story to adults and all the other childish nonsense that comes out of these guy’s mouths.
You’re also right about RMT trying to comfort himself. He knows deep within that things are very wrong but that would disrupt the fantasy and he’s trying to stop it.
LDW says
I think I finally have this all figured out. This is from L Ron Hubbard:
“If you can communicate to somebody, or with somebody, and get that
person to answer your questions, even somewhat laboriously, and so
forth, you have no business using the CCHs. That’s about what that
amounts to. And the CCHs can be categorized in that fashion now only
because we can get rid of hidden standards. …
…Now in view of the fact that we have Problems Intensives, you can
relegate the CCHs back to where they came from, which is processing in
the absence of verbal communication… you can process somebody you
can’t talk with. And that’s where the CCHs belong. Well, therefore,
they are important.”
LRH lecture VALENCES, CIRCUITS 18 October 1961.
Message to Pat Parody: You might want to take a good hard look at the hidden standards you have been shoving down the throats of your selectees for decades.
It’s perfectly fine for you to dramatize your own hidden standards and believe them will all your heart and soul, Pat. But impanting your selectees with false promises while you are raking in the dough just might be an overt. And according to Ron people who commit overts and have out-ethics withholds can’t see. And it does appear that there might be some vision impairments in your universe, Pat.
Just an idea based on the “standard tech” you are ignoring, Pat.
If you don’t wake up soon, Pat, you are going to end up sounding like a five year old, like your good friend Randy Tobin.
End of message to Pat.
Doug Parent says
LDW: A perfect response and illustration how far away this cult has strayed from the original subject. Anyone with the ability to recognize differences and similarities can immediately see this. It’s a face-palm moment. What a shock to contemplate how far DOWN people in the RCS have gone to have lost the ability to recognize it. I will hold the thought and intention that they all make it out alive in time to reclaim their own lives.
Wendy M says
Great points,LDW!
Potpie says
When I started in Scientology in ’74, I would travel
to St. Louis org for auditing. Even in my new
green Scientology state it was not hard for me to
figure out who I enjoyed being around and who
I felt uncomfortable with. Pat and Randy are
two I would have run from. Pat your theetie
weetie BS is nauseating. Randy…..omg.
If you two are actually making $ as FSM’s
then the current Scientology public are a bunch
of skulls full of mush.
plainoldthetan says
An objective process that produces a comm lag will produce a cognition. Pat Parodi still hasn’t hit the band at which he’s comm-lagging. He’s too busy reveling in the subtle changes he’s getting and crowing about them. I’d like to see Pat’s Objectives develop a real comm-lag…to the point where he’s not sending out these vacuous missives.
jonsty says
One is taught in Scientology that one can create their own reality. Fact is, there is some truth to that viewpoint. We can all do that. It is also fine as long as it is not taken to an absurd nor harmful level.
The Church, on the other hand, demands that the agreed upon reality be either LRH’s or DM’s. You are placed at total effect regarding that point of creation. And what is worse is that you are made wrong for not agreeing with their reality: “You are an OT right? Well then, are you going to agree with MEST, or case, or (fill in the blank)?” If one is an OT they will create the agreed upon reality, otherwise one is a weak WOG.
Once out, the reality of this deception (and suppression) becomes blatantly obvious.You shake your head thinking, “How did I allow myself to do that?” And then it becomes very very funny, and actually a point of learning and enlightenment.
Chris Shelton aka Galactic Patrol says
It’s pure insanity. Unrefined, unfiltered. Honestly, that first email from RMT is creepy as hell. I felt like I was reading a script for a scene from a horror movie. And Pat’s email is a study in cognitive dissonance the likes of which I haven’t seen in a while. These guys have to work so hard to justify their lives. It’s so sad.
Cindy says
Yes it is huge cognitive dissonance. I have a KA drinking OT VIII friend who is re-doing SRD and Objs and Purif. I asked her why? I said you obviously made it up the Bridge with no stalls, so why now would they tell you to redo Purif and Objs? She replied that her Purif was quicked and her dosage of niacin only got up to so and so and that her Objs had only been done for such and so hours and that now they are saying a minimum of so and so hrs need to be done. Since when did Ron ever ever ever C/S based on hrs spent on the process rather than the end result produced on the process? This new RTC “EP” stuff is only there so that DM can recycle OT’s through lower Bridge so as to keep regging them for money every time they come in the org. It’s all about the money.
Mike Rinder says
YEs, this is an interesting subject.
If Mr. Parody’s “Objectives case” was unflat then I guess he didn’t really make it through his Grades. Or anything subsequent. The theory is that Objectives get you into present time and enough in control of your environment that you can confront and address your case.
It’s a wonder they do not have to re-do their C/S 1 and ARC SW.
plainoldthetan says
It’s pretty clear that re-dos of C/S-1s and ARC SW are part of GAT 3. After all, if GAT 2 didn’t produce a legion of die-hard cold-eyed do-anything-for-Miscavige Scientologists, he only needs to make MORE unnecessary changes to balance the books. Right?

Idle Morgue says
The real conversation will go like this:
Son: “Tell me another Story Dad”.
Dad: “Well, son, Do you remember when I used to be in an Organization called Scientology?”
Son: “Yes Dad – those were terrible times for Mom and I! We never saw you!”
Dad: “I know son and for that I am sorry. I will explain. Remember when you were born and I was not there because I was in the Sea Org and we had a planet to clear so they would not let me attend your birth because my stats were down so your mother had you in a taxi cab because we had no car, no money, no insurance and no help”?
Son: “Yes, Dad – well, I don’t remember when I was born, but I remember growing up without you because you were busy clearing the planet!! Was it ever cleared?
Dad: “No Son, Scientology is a CULT and you need to stay far away from Cults – they use mind control methods to get you to do things you normally would not do. Scientology is evil, they are not clearing anything but bank accounts and they ruin families!”
Son: “Dad – I am so glad you were declared an SP so I could see you more! How come Scientology made you work all the time and not see Mom and I?”
Dad: “Well son, let me tell you about mind control”.
Not a funny story at all and so real for many of us! Kids need to get educated on Mind Control in Religious Cults! It is real and it is dangerous! We did not know but now that we do – lets educate the young! Any chance you get – tell someone about the dangers of Scientology and other religious cults.
Great Link on Cults that I just found:
