RB has had some technical difficulties this week. Here is an oldie but goodie. Someone the other day was asking about “Timmy”– this has one of my all-time favorite lines from RB about farting during a sec-check…
Geezus that’s funny stuff. I don’t want to think we were ever that bad, but on some level… I’d also bet those thoughts arent far off the mark for some.
I always feel such deep sadness for those four-to-a-room seaorg slaves. One cheap-ass 2×4 bunk bed to greet those sleep-deprived victims at the end of a 20 hour day.
Fuck Miscavige and Cruise, and anyone else who has ever benefited from the labor of those poor sea org members.
When I think Sea Org, all I remember is that one post talking about the daily sobbing from the Sea Org bathroom stall in Clearwater.
In the 1970s I co audited with a gay guy. As long as he kept his preference off scientology lines he stayed out of trouble. He figured he “picked up the wrong body type” and left it at that, no apologies.
Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected and is frequently humorous. (Winston Churchill loved them).
1. Where there’s a will, I want to be in it.
2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you …but it’s still on my list.
3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
4. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
5. We never really grow up — we only learn how to act in public.
6. War does not determine who is right, only who is left.
7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
9. I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
10. In filling out an application, where it says, “In case of emergency, notify…” I answered “a doctor.”
11. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
13. I used to be indecisive, but now I’m not so sure.
14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
15. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
16. You’re never too old to learn something stupid.
17. I’m supposed to respect my elders, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to find one now.
MJM – you had a wonderful experience with Scientology does not make Scientology good. The majority of people who get into Scientology get destroyed and hurt.
In fact, Scientology has destroyed thousands of innocent people.
Scientology KILLS!
Ask Lisa McPherson how “Going Clear” helped her. She is DEAD!
Thank you everyone! So much hurt, pain, suffering & bad memories…..every once in a while I truly feel we need a break from the heartache posted….I am so glad my posting gave everyone a LIFT in spirit….one day the pain will be healed…but those memories last a lifetime & that is the saddest part of it all…….my hugs & love to everyone!
THANK YOU MIKE for this blog that allows people to freely express themselves, whether others agree with their post or not….
I well, I do hope you enjoyed these as well…I can imagine you and Christy laughing.
Omg!! “Communicating a fart to the SOB”!?. I laughed out loud on the train into this am! People looked up & must’ve thought I was nuts, so worth it, best laugh I’ve had all week!!
Why didn’t the people in the videos report the “crimes” when they happened. That’s the first question that popped into my head when I heard about that Juliana person claiming that Aaron Smith-Levin watched porn while in the Sea Org (not sure how that’s even possible without internet and with all computers under tight control). But even assuming he did (first of all, so what?), then either she didn’t report it when it happened, which means she’s culpable for hiding his “crime”, or the “church” decided not to handle it properly if she did report it…..or she’s ultimately just full of shit (the most logical conclusion). Nice RB.
Mick Roberts, in the early 2000’s, many SO members at Big Blue had the small Apple IPods. They could CSW PAC Security for limited internet access to watch music videos and the like. Some members, such as Sean Thompson @ AOLA, got access to porn sites. I didn’t have one so am not sure about the security protocols in place, just remember Sean after he came back from a trip to the AOLA S/MAA after a “porn episode” on his IPod.
Ewwwww…watching porn….. like that is some kind of crime against humanity…. Scientology KILLS, maims, destroys, hurts, smashes, bankrupts, black mails, extorts and money launders each and every day….and some guy watching porn is supposedly a horrible person? Nope…think not!
Besides not KRing the bad deeds by the SP’s when they were in the SO, how about letting the pc get all the way up the Bridge and through OT VII or VIII and THEN “discovering” he/she is an SP? Why didn’t they find it out on any of the hundreds of Sec Checks along the way?

It just breaks my heart.

To the billions of humans who believe in reincarnation his explanation might seem logical.
Scientology is dead. The body will keep twitching for a period of time, but, rest assured it will come to an end.
Damn, that’s kinda morbid, but one lives in hope.
Yep – such a true picture of the insanity of Scientology Sea Org lifers slaving away for nothing. If it isn’t crazy and insane – it isn’t Scientology.
^^^^^:”If it isn’t crazy and insane – it isn’t Scientology”
The 4 guys on the couch crack me up!
I don’t think it’s a couch. It’s the lower bunk bed.
Amen to that!
“You’re gonna have to figure out how to be gay so you can get it handled so you won’t be gay anymore.”
Lol! Dear god, they actually talk like that, don’t they?
And “trying to communicate a fart to COB” had me rolling!! Too damn funny.
Katherine – It might be satire and those four guys are the dumbest guys in the sea org. I wasn’t in the sea org so I wouldn’t know for sure.
Hmmm, what is RB doing to pull in all these “technical difficulties”???? 🙂
They needed to learn some of this:

Balletlady for president.
I can really see this conversation going on in any Sea bOrg dormitory in LA or Clearwater.
Once again, Balletlady, you’ve given us one incredible post. Bravo!
Love these, Balletlady!
I’ve had a wonderful experience with Scientology and it wasn’t when I was in it.

You missed the joke. Look up the word ‘paraprosdokian.’
Paraprosdokian. Sounds like a Armenian name.
Idle, read that one again. I suspect it’s a joke about having a good experience… by leaving.
I was on top of the world when I left!
I got a lot out of it when I got out of it.
I was at the Honolulu mission. I walked out, drove to my apt., grabbed my surfboard and had a great surf session. Leaving is so wonderful…
I was on top of the world when I left!

May all your teeth fall out except one – so you can have a toothache.
What’s that again, in number 7?

I think the real question is why was Juliana watching Aaron watching porn?
🙂 Chee.

Policy #1: Get their money before you expel them.
Policy #1: Threaten them to within an inch of their lives to had over their cash.
Policy #2, If you can’t prove they’re an SP, refer to Policy #1.
LOL, the truth never gets old!
But it does get funnier.
