Very accurate depiction about how mainstream authorities still go along with the cult’s wishes, and how it always tries to exploit that. In real life cult members pretend they’re a secret elite and hide their “superior” status from the wogs around them to avoid awkward exchanges.
“…you can’t let him go! If he’s a real, breathing Selectee, you need to bring him in right away. Find a way to get In Comm with him and make him believe that you’re sorry for getting him fired and want to make amends, then bring him in.”
And there we are.
Screw over some unsuspecting sap. Realize your error not out of any regret that you caused him pain or loss but because he is someone who could be of use. Find some pretext to get back in communication with him. Then overwhelm him with non-stop affinity, reality and communication Then reg for staff!
Well, that’s one way to overwhelm him with non-stop affinity, reality and comm…except the ARC WOULD stop once he signs the contract. I wouldn’t put it past them to use this ploy. They would do it if they thought it would work.
I know someone who was at Flag and set up via the “2D” line. Not to join staff or the SO but to come to Flag.
A potential “2d” was procured for this Scientologist. She was lonely and desperate to connect and have a relationship with another Scientologist. She had fairly decent money, this woman, or at least she did at the time. She wasn’t a whale but she was comfortably fixed, quite comfortably off.
Anyway, she was regged to come to Flag ostensibly to be fixed up with a very “upstat” male Scientologist who was going to be there…long story short, no relationship materialized out of this meet-cute staged by the cult but in the process and while she was filled with hope the registrars did take another substantial bite out of her savings.
Talk about your timely, on-point graphic comics, RB this is freaking brilliant.
The hubris of thinking someone screwed over could turn into a scientologist is so funny. It would be funnier if it wasn’t the truth.
Standing on the front porch to infinity watching the universe pass you by.
Infinity is how long it would take IF scientology worked as advertized. It doesn’t so it’ll take even longer. Meanwhile, Psychology has advanced since the earliest days in the ’40s, so has passed Hubbards creaky old snake-oil cart on by. and left it in the dust.
Like … yeah, the guy you just got fired is going to be a good selectee, because … scientology … thinks ANY attention is better than no attention; it’s all good. Of course, being recently fired gives him PLENTY of time to do his intro course of TRs, but no money to pay for it.
My HAS course cost me 10 bucks in 1978. Probably at least a hundred now. Probably a good thing ( for them not me). If they wanted much more, I probably could not have come up with it.
The satire in your post has become talked of the town .
It shall now part of history like Xenu of South Park or like disclosure in your book about celebrities.
Every lawyer has objective to win the case no matter what the long term repercussions to the client.
You do not need to be genius, but to read the history and it’s the Future of future.

Ah, the good old Front Porch to Infinity. You take two steps forward towards infinity and the porch extends by four steps and so on and so…

Standard Cult Operating Procedure.
How about ” Promise to fuck him if he joins staff?”.

“If you think a guy might be interested in becoming a $ci-ist only because . . . WHEN WE RAPE EACH OTHER . . .”
Not – when we help each other OR when we console each other OR when we are happy for each other.
What a telling sentence.

Damn RB, you do it right!
Just what the sea org needs, the best-of-the-best.
That’s how they got Dave. What an ASSet!

I used to be a subscriber to hot rodding magazines.

My HAS course cost me 50 dollars in 1971 in Toronto.
