Good evening Gary………… that is the 64 dollar question. It’s like this Gary, without ethics officers the truth is liable to get out, and this church can ill afford anymore truth. Henry
Hi Henry James, Good to meet you.Yes the Only Church/Cult that has Their type of Ethics Officers! To Sea Org could they crack those “bullwhips!”As you know around paying public they were politely called Master At Arms however I take that in a literal context! Glad I am out & do not miss their Q&A with me! Take Care, Ann B.
Um, you’d be surprised. A fair number of Independent churches have an equivalent. Usually the title is something like ‘Church Discipline Staffer’ and the churches in question seem to meet Steve Hassan’s definition as Coercive Mind Control Groups (this is based on mentions of Steve and his works on the Bunker, I keep forgetting to buy a copy).
I know about this because I stumbled upon The Wartburg Watch, a blog that covers abusive Christian churches. There are also Muslim and Jewish groups which have similar positions. I don’t know about Hindus and Buddhists, but they probably have the same issues.
Power corrupts. Put someone in a power position, and all too often they abuse the power.
It’s interesting to contrast the fever dream depicted in this RB strip with Donald Trump. Trump is a pompous, arrogant, self-aggrandizing buffoon of the first order. But know what? He has met with lots of important people over the course of his career. He has even lorded it over them on occasion. In contrast, David Miscavige is a recluse who has never met with anyone of importance in his entire life and would have no idea how to handle himself if he did. That makes this fantasy, which I have no doubt reflects his actual daydreams, so much more preposterous.
Hi Mark Marco. Good to meet you. Jamie DeWolf Hubbard is driving me nuts.Help my old brain and tell me where he fits in the pecking order.Related to Lexi? another Hubbard I never knew.Did know Quentin Diana a little and Arthur & Suzette wrote to years ago in Sea Org.Thank You Ann B.And of course Mary Sue & Ron.
Hell, I’ve been reading (and writing) Space Opera for a long, long, time, and I’d never heard of it. But the only thing of Hubbard’s that I’ve read was Dianetics, a totally weird book which is a great sleep aid.
Wow, what a dream! Regraded Being. My dream goes like this:Take Prisoner 666 to the showers for clean-up duty and have it use a toothbrush. While bent over brushing 666 notices a gang of horney terrorist led into the shower…..
Look for something very much like this on the Golden Age of TV and Internet Channels when the old KCET studios get running. I suspect that it will be a clam only subscription internet ‘channel’. I just can’t see the clams putting such ‘theta’ on any channel the general public can see. The mystery sandwich must remain a mystery, otherwise no one will pay for it.
Pirating the clam only subscription channels will be keeping rutube and that Chinese youtube in a lot of page views. The clampire can’t hide anything, anywhere.
Absolutely brilliant! RB should clearly be the one to write the scripts for the docudrama on this mean little piece or work. I pray that project comes down the pike in the not too distant future.
giggle….giggle…..guffaw…….titter….> belly laugh…..RB hits it again. The Dalia Lama would never been seen with Mr. Let him die. I am waiting for the next version of the purif, now with more niacin.
Ah, my Friday fix! The first couple of panels had me wondering what was going on. A dream. I’ve had dreams like that, a dream that was so real when I woke up it took me a while to come back to reality. Odds are DLHDM has them too, and some of them probably come fairly close to this in content.
Or at least he probably does, if he isn’t totally drunk.
I wonder if when COP dreams these sequences and thinks they’re actually real and then realizes it’s all just a dream & explodes like a mega ton bomb screaming, “Fuck! Why aren’t they real! Fuck! Nothing has changed! Fuck! I was ruling the world! Fuck! But the part with the Pope has to be real, right? Fuck! I’m still a fucking dwarf! Fuck! I need to beat someone right now! Fuck! Who the fuck woke me up! I want them in the RPF NOW! Fuck! What a way to start my day…I mean, what a way to start my afternoon…Fuck! I really need a drink!!!!
Hi Roger Hornaday, Wouldn’t that be wonderful.David Miscavige in Siberia,going to take a lot of the Scottish delusion water to keep him warm! However the alternative for David is either Siberia or a place much hotter!XO Ann B.
Ah, get “leverage” on people! That was the key tactic Hubbard had the Psychlos using in Battlefield Earth. Nice allusion.
(Hmm. All those auditing records, confessionals, write ups of overts and withholds, ethics actions, knowledge reports, personality tests, central files, OSA records, bugged auditing rooms, etc. — all amount to leverage?)
And the “you weren’t there” comment — I started hearing Sweeney yelling at Tommy “you … weren’t … there … at … the … beginning … of … that … interview!” In the end Sweeney came out fine and Davis was seen as the creepy dishonest jackass he was.
RB gives us Whiny Little Drunk Bitch in a fucknormously EPIC wet dream where scientology has swept the world leaving all things ideal in its wake. That would include reeducation facilities in Siberia for the enemies of Whiny Little Drunk Bitch. Ah but if only the tech were what it is touted to be then the dream could be real but with a few minor changes. For one thing, Mike Rinder, et al, would have never become apostates and Whiny Little Drunk Bitch would be the one in Siberia.
Oh-my-gosh…we ALMOST get to see DM’s face in this episode!
His face has always been just out of sight, like on the television sitcom Home Improvement back in the 90’s, which had the kindly neighbor Wilson W. Wilson, Jr. whose lower face was always hidden from television viewers (rememba him?)….
Another great one, RB, and welcome Jesse! And if you can, please add Claudio and Renate Lugli to the list of people in the strip today. Claudio’s letter as well as Debbie Cook’s are some of the things that got me looking and ultimately to leave.
Hi Regraded Being,You have given me the best Fri Gift.Just a mental picture of Mike and the 79 repentants hacking thru the Amazon to bring the Truth to the indigenous tribes an all time classic! You are glorious so so talented and I found you right here.What joy! All your work is the best this one is epic! Love you always Ann B.
I think we just found out what goes on in his drunken head……RB…..very well done! I hope l am allowed to say that to you as I do not know what your rank is, or mine for that matter……
“I can’t imagine what goes on inside the COB’s head…” I can answer that one, Jose. Just like Nurotology says, aliens live inside our heads. But these aliens love it when COB gets drunk as they love a good buzz as much as anyone else.
Hi Regraded Being,Oh no do we have to go to,Qual AGAIN? I just got out of a deep Q&A with The Ethics Officier,OK I’m right behind you.My letters out stat was way up but I misspelled a bunch of words so here we are right at Qual Who goes first or do we give the examiner double trouble!XO Ann B.
You do realize that the situation was a drunken dream sequence from COP’s demented viewpoint? Therefore, the misspelling was appropriate. Or are you just another didactic dumbass?
COP is a high-school dropout, raised on half-assed (ok, maybe more like quarter-assed) sci-fi fantasies. Give him a break! What does he know about lamas?
Perhaps he has been reading the original LRH material and thought barbiturates and amphetamines might help his case along with a good dose of whiskey?!
Hilarious, absolutely hilarious. Needed this belly laugh today.
Great one, RB. You have captured what I believe David Miscavige is. A mentally deranged sociopath who belongs in a loony bin.
Hilarious!
Dio
Biggest word bubble ever.
I was thinking, what kind of church has a ethics officer?
Good evening Gary………… that is the 64 dollar question. It’s like this Gary, without ethics officers the truth is liable to get out, and this church can ill afford anymore truth. Henry

Gary,
try another question.
What Church needs a “HOLE” for it’ top producing leaders????
Dear RB,
Do a skit on David Miscaviges Liver
now his head is examined in detail.
It’s interesting to contrast the fever dream depicted in this RB strip with Donald Trump. Trump is a pompous, arrogant, self-aggrandizing buffoon of the first order. But know what? He has met with lots of important people over the course of his career. He has even lorded it over them on occasion. In contrast, David Miscavige is a recluse who has never met with anyone of importance in his entire life and would have no idea how to handle himself if he did. That makes this fantasy, which I have no doubt reflects his actual daydreams, so much more preposterous.
And I’d like to mention the name Jamie DeWolf Hubbard.
Thanks.
Hi Mark Marco. Good to meet you. Jamie DeWolf Hubbard is driving me nuts.Help my old brain and tell me where he fits in the pecking order.Related to Lexi? another Hubbard I never knew.Did know Quentin Diana a little and Arthur & Suzette wrote to years ago in Sea Org.Thank You Ann B.And of course Mary Sue & Ron.
Jamie DeWolf (no Hubbard) is L. Fraud’s great-grandson and Nibs’ grandson.
Hi Espiando, Thank you now I know who is who! Always Ann B.
Arslycus? Can anyone help me on that one?
Hi Good People. Google it. If you like space opera, you’ll love Arslycus.
Thanks R.B.. Wild stuff!
Hell, I’ve been reading (and writing) Space Opera for a long, long, time, and I’d never heard of it. But the only thing of Hubbard’s that I’ve read was Dianetics, a totally weird book which is a great sleep aid.
Hi Wayne Borean aka The Mad Hatter, Love your post on DMSMH,Yes a great sleep aid except for that Crazy volcano!XO Ann B.
Wow, what a dream! Regraded Being. My dream goes like this:Take Prisoner 666 to the showers for clean-up duty and have it use a toothbrush. While bent over brushing 666 notices a gang of horney terrorist led into the shower…..
If the first 2 panels are the first “news cast” put out on the Scientology television, I hope RB gets commission for it.
As always, great friday cartoon, RB.
Look for something very much like this on the Golden Age of TV and Internet Channels when the old KCET studios get running. I suspect that it will be a clam only subscription internet ‘channel’. I just can’t see the clams putting such ‘theta’ on any channel the general public can see. The mystery sandwich must remain a mystery, otherwise no one will pay for it.
Pirating the clam only subscription channels will be keeping rutube and that Chinese youtube in a lot of page views. The clampire can’t hide anything, anywhere.

Hysterically funny! And so spot on!

Regraded Being Friday.The best day of the week. Thank you 😉

*laughcrying*
5 stars RB. 🙂
I’ll see your 5 stars, NOLAGirl, and raise you 10 stars! Gosh, it sure is fun making fun of the stupid cult!
I see your 10 stars and raise you a sky full of stars, just because making fun of the Wee Whiner is indeed hilarious. 😀
Hope you have a good weekend OSD. Wish I could be hanging on the beach with you, frozen drink in hand.
Hysterical. What a gem.
RB gives us Whiny Little Drunk Bitch in a fucknormously EPIC wet dream where scientology has swept the world leaving all things ideal in its wake. That would include reeducation facilities in Siberia for the enemies of Whiny Little Drunk Bitch. Ah but if only the tech were what it is touted to be then the dream could be real but with a few minor changes.

For those who do not know from firsthand experience that is an exact duplication of DM’s style of management. That should cause an as-isness,
Another great one, RB, and welcome Jesse! And if you can, please add Claudio and Renate Lugli to the list of people in the strip today. Claudio’s letter as well as Debbie Cook’s are some of the things that got me looking and ultimately to leave.
Might cause an ass-itchness but Tom Cruise will say that
is too close to home.
OMG! I love Fridays RB.

You are glorious so so talented and I found you right here.What joy! All your work is the best this one is epic! Love you always Ann B.
I cannot imagine what goes on inside
the COB’s head drunk or sober.
I think we just found out what goes on in his drunken head……RB…..very well done! I hope l am allowed to say that to you as I do not know what your rank is, or mine for that matter……

Pet peeve = ‘Lama’. He’s not the animal.
Right. Back to Qual.

Sigh……… Henry

“Lamentful song”? Lamentable, surely 😉
Perhaps he has been reading the original LRH material and thought barbiturates and amphetamines might help his case along with a good dose of whiskey?!
Wait…what? You mean is doesn’t? Oh, shit! I’m going to have to redo everything…
I love Fridays. This strip is hilarious. The author should be nominated for a metal of freedom. Get COB on the phone………….
