Whoops! That might get misconstrued!
For all you never-ins, in Scientologese, to blow means to give up or quit something. If you hear a Scilon say that so and so blew their course at the org, it means they left and haven’t been back.
Besides, if I were him, I wouldn’t ‘blow’ those two bitches even if they paid me handsomely!
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!
Good one RB, this one really sums up so much.
It’s truly sickening how david miscavige – who has access to any luxury he can get his hands on from the billions he has raked in through scn ‘donations’ – still isn’t satisfied, but has to rip off even more money from individual sea org members who are already working as slaves for him for next to nothing.
One day his pure selfish greed will catch up with him.
I really hope it happens soon.
We can only dream of what it’ll be like when Dwarfenführer’s karmic imbalance catches up with him….
The sooner, the better.
eta: Waiting with bated breath for news of the “Birthday” debacle. How can it be anything but when they can’t get it done ON Tubby’s birthday. Oh, that must have been erased in their records, just like all copies of KSW in their posession, to allow Davey Boy free rein to alter anything he could get his tiny, tiny hands on
Mike you don’t have to answer this on your blog. You can answer privately if you wish. What time does the get together in Clearwater start tomorrow? My sister and I want to be there and show our support. Thanks!
Big blue should be called little North Korea. They both operate the same.
Dictatorships, media blackouts, slave labor and ultimately everyone would like to defect.
Well OSD, THEY think it’s logical; even “sane”, if you can believe it. WTF do you get a guy who needs for nothing? He’s got his wife salted away somewhere out of sight, a “personal assistant” for when he’s not obsessing about SCOHB, slaves serving his every wish, voiced or not, and plenty of punching bags to relieve any residual tension. If he wants something, the corp will buy or build it (several times as he changes his mind) for his sole use. What a DEAL. Kings don’t get it better. They can’t, as the peasants would REVOLT in the real world. When some guy finally snaps and defends himself, I wanna buy that guy a few rounds.
Jere, this is going to sound like airy-fairy mew wave nonsense, but I seriously doubt that Miscavige is happy. Appearances to the contrary, in that he possesses many material reasons to be a happy person, reasons which would give comfort and satisfaction to a normal person, I’d say he’s very, very, very far from happy. Happy people do not behave as he does. Rather, IMO Miscavige is the poster-boy for what religions have long conceptualized as a “lost soul”. I’d say he exists in the condition of what the ancients truly meant when they conceived of Hell – not a physical fire everlasting but an operating state of continual torment, unremitting pain. Ever see those Renaissance paintings of lost souls in Hell? Take a look at those faces, and that’s Miscavige, inside,. For real. all the time. My 2, for whatever its worth.
I would pay to see a movie starring all In Good Standing Scientology actors (including Elisabeth Moss, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley especially!, Nancy Cartwright, Jenna Elfman, ETC. ETC.!!!!!!).
Well, why not? Isn’t that why the Dwarf made the Sheeple pay for SuMP? Who better to use for Scientology’s most recent Final Solution than Scientology’s A-Listers? (Never mind that inwardly they groan at the thought.) Oh, and don’t forget Danny Masterson! He’s under-utilized at the moment. He could be the cult’s Dr Phil 🙂
Not ONE scientology celebrity that has any whiff of a career going at this point dares to stand up to proudly proclaim that they are a scientologist.
Kirstie Alley is a dimwitted buffoon, but I give her credit for being the only Celebrity Useful Idiot, TM, that is standing up for scientology. All the rest are cowards.
Well, Kirstie “standing up” for the cult doesn’t say as much for her loyalty and integrity as it does for the fact that she’s got nothing going on in her career anyway. So why not shoot off her mouth – it gets her some sort of attention, after all, if only with her “We Love You So Much You’re Awesome Go Girl” etc.etc. mentally-13 year old blog fans.
That said if she ever decides to utilize her much vaunted OT abilities by losing some weight and shopping herself around again for some actual acting jobs, and/or if she manages to get herself another role or some future in her field, THEN I’d like to see how vocal she’d be in defense of the cult.
In the meantime, she’s just another empty-headed vulgarian, another potty-mouthed Has Been with a weight problem doing her darndest to stay relevant in the crass, tabloid swamp that passes for American culture nowadays.
Back in the day, while working on a sleep-deprived RPF crew at the Int base, and being paid a little less than next-to-nothing, we’d routinely get hit up to buy presents not only for COB, but for a lot of the executives that were on our chain of command.
But they’d always ask, not just take the money. And there would always be enough people who’d sort of begrudgingly give a buck or two. Maybe about half the people.
Then, one morning, the RPF bosun told us at muster that the Happy Valley dog (“Tinker?”) had mixed it up with a rattlesnake and had been bitten on the snout and without immediate vet treatment, would likely die that day.
It was an all-hands, and by that I mean all hands dug deep in their pockets and pulled out whatever they could and that dog was saved by the lowest paid group on the base.
John D, never heard that part of the story. I remember hearing about the dog that just couldn’t keep his nose out of trouble and got bit.
Over at the pay line at the Int Base, we always got paid in cash. And early in the year a few dollars were always missing. If you asked about it, they would tell you it was for “senior executives’ birthdays” but of course you knew it was Dave Miscavige. Then you could ask for your pitiful full cash allowance, but if any hint of that request got to your superiors your life would not be worth much.
I think one year he got a tailored suit, another year he got a really nice Nikon underwater camera called the “Nikonos”. So he could get great shots when he went scuba diving with his personal scuba instructor on a Caribbean island while we were working around the clock for weeks to get the Freewinds Maiden Voyage Anniversary events set up and shot.
Then after the events, instead of getting a few nights of sleep before going home we had to help him make an automated slide show with music so the whole ship crew could see his reef and wreck shots. The fishies! The sponge! The shark!
Wow – thanks for sharing that. Makes me want to upchuck, but important to keep in mind what a Psychopath he is. I remember him coming to yank our chain (ribbon) at our local Ideal Org – and public lining up in droves to shake his hand & have their photo taken with him. I was utterly repulsed by him & wasn’t the least bit interested in meeting him – and couldn’t fathom why – I felt so guilty and criminal for having that reaction! It took me a further 7 years to wake up properly after that & get the hell out of dodge.
OMG this is even worse than I thought. To take money from slaves who barely make enough to buy cigarettes, much less save anything, and give it to the guy who makes millions all tax free and has private chefs and the best seafood flown in for his meals, who wears expensive Armani suits, to have them have to pay for his dog’s snake bite… this makes my blood boil. So why didn’t DM ever pay for his own dog’s upkeep?
Just to be clear, Tinker was a dog that sort of came with the Happy Valley property, which had been purchased a few years earlier. He didn’t belong to Miscavige.
The snake incident happened first thing in the morning. Tinker was barking at a woodpile and next thing you know, a couple of the guys came up with a rattler they had dispatched, and Tinker’s rapidly swelling muzzle was evidence he had been bitten.
We had morning muster a few minutes later and that was when the collection was made for Tinker’s treatment. It was an emergency and we were the ones that were there and Tinker was doing his job to protect us from a real danger.
Many of us were suppressing smiles when the money immediately came out for Tinker because we all remembered how paltry a collection for yet another executive had been a day or two earlier but for the dog, it was unanimous.
The spirit of resistance was mostly intact in that particular RPF group.
John Doe, Thanks for that clarification. Now THIS makes my day: “Many of us were suppressing smiles when the money immediately came out for Tinker because we all remembered how paltry a collection for yet another executive had been a day or two earlier but for the dog, it was unanimous.
The spirit of resistance was mostly intact in that particular RPF group.”
JD, thank you for sharing that story. It was as disturbing and horrifying as it was moving–for all you did to care for a dog, pitch in like that with what little you had. In the end, I hope Tinker got out and found a loving home.
In my relatively short time out, I am still wading through all of the stories and also realizing how totally weird and messed up I must have seemed to “WOGS” when I was in.
Now, my language and social skills seem retarded! My reaction time is slower because I have to stop and think before I express myself. I don’t want to use words–like “Comm-lag.” (Comm lag is cult-speak for this type of hesitating). I check myself for false cult concepts too. (Off the cuff example; I had a flat tire, started criticizing potholes in roads, went the effect so I should write up my overts on streets so I’ll feel more “at cause.”) It’s like wading through all this mind-f–kery just to get a sentence out sometimes! (Just had to get that out. Anyone else has experienced this)?
I know it’s a mortal sin giving “verbal data” (cough, cough), but wasn’t there something El Wrong said about animals just being run by the GE (genetic entity)? In other words, animals are degraded beings? Yet, SOB, I mean…COB is “so superior” for worshiping flamboyant MEST (material things) that he couldn’t spend a paltry $50-$100 to get Tinker to the vet?
Also occurred to me today, EL Wrong claimed that one “thetan” could not be another thetan’s mother, father (justifying separation of families); children are “adults in little bodies” and…there is no such thing as a female or male thetan? (Why then, all the wackiness and hatred for same sex marriage)?
Garbage in, garbage out. Going to repeat a comment made by another person recently, (sorry for not knowing the author’s name).
Hi TitleWaves,
Thanks for your comment. The only thing I can say is just keep reading and educating yourself about the true nature of the church and keep communicating with others about your experiences, as you desire.
Participating in these blog discussions can be very therapeutic.
One more thing I would offer is try not to negate the good things or wins you may have had in your Scientology experiences. Don’t beat yourself up for “being duped”, but recognize the good in you that desired to help yourself and help others. You sound like you’re on the right path!
Thank you, JD…. Your kind words, compassion and advice mean so much. You nailed it. I need to keep expressing myself in forums like these until I regain my confidence and get to know myself again!
I hadn’t realized the level of censorship–outright punishment–leveled by the cult and the effects until very recently! Each day, coming here, reading and posting is an incredible help. Realizing/identifying the “thought stopping” as Jefferson Hawkins pointed out is among many wins I’ve had doing what you suggested.
I’d like to add:
What I thought initially were “wins” from the comm courses became a prison for me…The “training” (like bull-baiting), instilled in me to just sit there and TAKE ABUSE WITHOUT FLINCHING! Also, ignore things others may do which are harmful to me.
Criticism stems from “my overts” (transgressions). “Abuse isn’t really the problem….” Over 30 years of my life have been lived that way. The “case” in front of me needs to be handled with “ARC.” It takes a bit to unwind that thinking.My relationships with authorities are skewed. For one: Do not ever go to the police (authorities)! HANDLE IT “INTERNALLY!” The damage is two-fold:
1. Keep it a secret within the cult (because it’s “out PR).”
2. Internalize it within one’s self because it’s “entheta” and “my own fault” anyway.
This is the road to self-loathing.
Always stand up FOR the cult, never TO the cult. And most damaging of all, “Never stand up for yourself!” That’s their message. Loud and very “unclear.”
I’ve always been a fighter–a strong survivor, never, ever one who tolerated repeat abuse by the same person or group outside of the cult. In my personal life, “One ‘strike,’ you’re out.”
To a large extent, because of its undue influence, extortion, fraud, bullying and “ethics handlings,” labeling me as “the why,” I have a deep distrust of authority figures. I stop and question things that most people in the real world don’t!! In the Aftermath, trying to earn a living and get along with bosses and management — those above my rank — has been my biggest challenge.
Thanks to people like you, who pause and offer their support and understanding is the most empowering thing. Valuable beyond belief!
Thanks Aqua. Tinker was definitely a personality. I guess the point of my story is to point out the stark difference between enforced giving and giving that comes willingly to truly help someone or something that needs it. The first fills you with resentment. The latter fills your heart.
JD, greatly appreciated your follow-up posts on Tinker’s story — and all those who contributed.
LOVED, “..stark difference between enforced giving and giving that comes willingly to truly help someone or something that needs it. The first fills you with resentment. The latter fills your heart.”
lol – He IS new, isn’t he?
“What? They’re going to take money from my pay?” Yep.
Birthday presents for David Miscavige… awww, isn’t that cute.
The little infant needs presents fwom his fwiends.
Hi David… ootchie kootchie coo! Hey don’t bite my finger, ‘ya little demon.
Sounds like Miscavige played the lead role in the 1970s movie ‘It’s Alive’.
🙂 and 🙂
New guy needs to blow the Sea Org and now!
Whoops! That might get misconstrued!
For all you never-ins, in Scientologese, to blow means to give up or quit something. If you hear a Scilon say that so and so blew their course at the org, it means they left and haven’t been back.
Besides, if I were him, I wouldn’t ‘blow’ those two bitches even if they paid me handsomely!

I really hope it happens soon.
His day is nigh, but his minions keep him in the dark. This is good.
On the day he is the most relaxed, the fantasy world of David Miscavige will collapse in historic ruin. Oh David, what have you done to yourself? : (
We can only dream of what it’ll be like when Dwarfenführer’s karmic imbalance catches up with him….
The sooner, the better.

5pm
Have a blast y’all from Auckland, NZ!
Mike, you just gave up the game to scientology! Stop being so open and honest!
; )
I always find these RB posts hilarious!!!
Big blue should be called little North Korea. They both operate the same.
Dictatorships, media blackouts, slave labor and ultimately everyone would like to defect.
Yes, BK!
Right on the money, BK!
Good one RB,
Thanks for keeping us up to date,on the latest scientology logic.
Scientology is logical?
Come on, Old Surfer, go back to the dictionary and learn what the word “logic” really means…yeesh!
I just never thought it was logical. Just crap…
Well OSD, THEY think it’s logical; even “sane”, if you can believe it. WTF do you get a guy who needs for nothing? He’s got his wife salted away somewhere out of sight, a “personal assistant” for when he’s not obsessing about SCOHB, slaves serving his every wish, voiced or not, and plenty of punching bags to relieve any residual tension.

Aquamarine, I completely agree with you.
The mind of Miscavige must be a terrifying world of fear and paranoia. I would not change places with him for all the gold on Teegeack.
His existence is not to be envied.
He is loathed and despised, even by his own fellow scientologists and he will be forever remembered as a terrible human.
I would pay to see a movie starring all In Good Standing Scientology actors (including Elisabeth Moss, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley especially!, Nancy Cartwright, Jenna Elfman, ETC. ETC.!!!!!!).
And DAVE could be the stand up comedian.
Or…we could string him up like a Piñata and have at him.
It would be a tragic comedy.
Isn’t everything in Scientology tragic?
Yep.
Well, why not? Isn’t that why the Dwarf made the Sheeple pay for SuMP? Who better to use for Scientology’s most recent Final Solution than Scientology’s A-Listers? (Never mind that inwardly they groan at the thought.) Oh, and don’t forget Danny Masterson! He’s under-utilized at the moment. He could be the cult’s Dr Phil 🙂

Kirstie Alley is a dimwitted buffoon, but I give her credit for being the only Celebrity Useful Idiot, TM, that is standing up for scientology. All the rest are cowards.
P.S. Have you been to a Tom Cruise movie lately?
None of us either.
ROTFLMAO!!! Now that’s some funny shit! Whew! I’m still laughing! Thanks, wayc! You made my day!
Well, Kirstie “standing up” for the cult doesn’t say as much for her loyalty and integrity as it does for the fact that she’s got nothing going on in her career anyway.

I’m very happy that my voice has helped, thanks.
JD, no sarcasm, that is a heartwarming story. God bless you and those other RPFers for helping that dog. Beautiful!
Thanks Aqua. Tinker was definitely a personality. I guess the point of my story is to point out the stark difference between enforced giving and giving that comes willingly to truly help someone or something that needs it. The first fills you with resentment. The latter fills your heart.

JD and TW, as re those “stark differences”, yes, a world of difference 🙂
One of these days.. one of these days
What are we going to do one of these days?
Like you suggested earlier, make a piñata out of Miscavige.
Yes, Sucker, they take money from your pay…anytime they wish…for whatever reason they wish…AND ALL WITHOUT YOUR AGREEMENT!
I think his last question might just have been the first step towards bailing out! LOL
Yes, new guy, money will be taken from you electronically. You have a problem with that?
Ha ha ha! The singularity is getting smaller by the second.
