Love thst sinking Freewinds!
And I didn’t see any launched lifeboats!
I guess RB agrees with the dwarf that launching lifeboats from a sinking ship is counter-intention!
The remaining believers still cling to that false hope, trusting in the conman’s bullshit. At this stage of the game, to still be a scientologist is akin to having a tattoo stamped on one’s head— “Gullible Asshole”.
The problem is fundamentally LRH’s false reports about the efficacy of Scientology to solve the world’s problems.
“OT” FSMs just normally get some dupes to false report sincerely, and “make it go right.”
Make it go right means sincere false reporting that is convincing enough to cause upstats, and upstats are just successful false reports of efficacy.
Hubbard built a whole system of false reporting “results” and a system to blame the dupes who inevitably failed.
But Hubbard was Numero Uno false reporting person of this whole Scientology con.
Look no further, just trace it all back to the biggest false reporting “founder” of the Scientology con job charade religion.
The truth of Hubbard’s false reporting, if you get to understanding that, then you can blame the right person, L. Ron Hubbard.
Lawrence Wright’s Epilogue chapter in “Going Clear….” book lays it on correctly about LRH.
At least LRH had a tiny bit of doubt in the end of his life, as LRH told Sarge Pfauth that LRH had failed.
That was a moment, a brief moment of truth, from LRH.
LRH didn’t give it all enough thought to really pull the plug on Scientology before LRH died.
So the dupes are stuck with Hubbard’s policiy that is non stop false reporting of Scientology’s efficacy.
The dupes are left holding the bag, swimming in layers of Hubbard’s false reporting about things, their alternative universe of thought that LRH even failed to pull himself out of his own BS in the end of his life.
But the news in the end of “Going Clear….” book is so important for Scientologists to absorb.
I think about LRH’s admission of failure every day. About his only moment of “case gain” after a life of pulling such a fast one on Scientologists.
I picture COB reading these while drinking scotch and laughing that there is still more money in his piggy bank, I mean his church coffers, than he could ever spend in his life.
Cracks me up. The ship going down. Miscavige at his desk with his insane (but probably not off the mark) communication. Hilarious.
Re sea sickness. If one person gets sea sick it will be me, which is why I got a CSW approved to fly out of Cartegna before I had to leave for the ship. Of course, when the ship was setting off on its 24 hour sail I was on it because the CS on the ship wouldn’t allow me to fly out of Cartegna. Another example of the disingenuousness of scientology. “Just get her there” I’m sure was the think. SO! I spent almost 24 hours on the deck looking at the horizon or a star and I did NOT get sea sick. I was stoked! After we were anchored I got sea sick as hell and was sea sick for the next five days while receiving NOTS to “handle my condition.” Still have the inner ear problem that prompts my motion sickness. So much for NOTS (but then I AM an SP; so,…). As far as why I got sea sick after the sail, now anchored: A sailor told me that I phenomenon with some sailors is that they get their sea legs and sail for weeks. Then when they are on land, they get sea sick; they are so used to the sea that being on land makes them sea sick – for some. He thought what happened to me was that I got my sea legs and then the ship became still. I know this is off topic but I thought it was interesting.
Mary, for some folks it can take a while to get land legs. It does for me.
When my stepdad retired, he bought a sailboat, actually the smallest yacht. We would spend days on it and by the time I hit solid ground, I’d be reeling.
No one admits to getting seasick on the Ship of Fools. That would indicate PTSness and no one on board would want to do what it takes to handle that before being allowed to leave. Public people anyway, staff are just stuck.Time to suck it up and if yer a little green around the gills, tough shit.
I wanted to repost this from Out Ethics from yesterday and contribute to the motion.
Let me know if you can duplicate if it was the same data you received at the Prosperity Seminars you attended in Scientology or experienced during the CRUSH REGGING cycles or shall we call them – Psychos because it caused mental anguish beyond belief.
The Training side of the Bridge trains the being to financially ruin and manipulate others to obtain the goals of L Ron Hubbard; to get rich by starting a religion and take out THE PSYCHS for invalidating his Dianetics.
Some of the top Scientology trained “Financial Ruiners” are the infamous Teddy Braggin with the IAS.
There were many Registrars that destroyed people financially and had no second thought about it.
I wonder if any are out and feel bad about that???? We would love to hear from you if you are out.
____________________________________________________________________________
I took notes at the last Scientology Prosperity Seminar:
How to Finance Your Bridge or Move Up in Status
Step 1: RUIN THEM UTTERLY – especially FINANCIALLY! This puts the being at total EFFECT.
Step 2: Run the “MUST HAVE” on them.
You must have the bridge
you must move up in status.
Get out your Ron’s Journal and get them SCARED – put them in FEAR
“THE PSYCHS ARE COMING … THE PSYCHS ARE COMING”
They must have the Bridge or move up in Status with the IAS – or else – then feed them DOOM AND GLOOM.
IMPINGE!
You must get your stats up from last week so pull no punches.
(((((((((((((As long as you get your stats up – we don’t care if you LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, MANIPULATE, COERCE, EXTORT or commit any other heinous crimes.)))))))))))))
Put the being in total and utter fear. Fill his mind with chaos and confusion.
You must feed them conspiracy theories. That is how this shit works!
Look for the major stable win for a Registrar – “the being is afraid and will GIVE ALL”.
Then…go for broke. We have Planetary banks (accounts) to clear.
Have one of our “trained” and manipulative REGISTRARS max out your credit cards and get you NEW credit cards you would never on Xenu’s Green Planet obtain unless a “trained” Scientology Manipulator is involved.
STEP 3:
When the being is spinning after the financial ruin, tell them they are an Illegal PC and CAN’T HAVE the Bridge.
This puts them in a sad effect but you have implanted the idea “no case on post” so they will become robotic and easy to control.
STEP 4
Rinse and Repeat until everyone in your MORGUE is under your thumb by “BEING BROKE and in DEBT”.
Then – encourage them to file bankruptcy by feeding them the “PIRATES AND BUMS” reference and more conspiracy theories the Ole Man came up with.
Rinse and Repeat until the leader is sitting on billions and living the lavish lifestyle he so deserves.
RS’ing DB – Don’t worry about the rock slamming. That was supposedly due to an e-meter defect. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not a degraded being.
just joking 😉
I had a rock slam in session one time. I could hear the e-meter needle clacking back and forth and my female auditor got startled. She had almost discovered that I had the hots for her. Supposedly a rock slam indicated “evil intentions or purposes”. I don’t think my intentions toward her were “evil”, just the “usual” ones – haha
She was a highly classed auditor and a relative big shot in the mission I worked for. After the rock slam she just continued with the session and made no special note of it. If she had asked “What was that?” I would have been outed for having sexual fantasies about her! How embarrassing! – laughter
In the 1970’s little attention was paid to anyones sexual activity, at least not on the lower grades. The Pill was coming into widespread use and half the people coming in had a make love not war attitude. Quite different than today’s Puritanical regimentation.
Maybe Elron misinterpreted the significance of a rock slam. If he had just described it as indicating “a withhold of great magnitude” he would have eliminated the witch hunts which apparently occurred later on over rock slams. In the wog world my experience in that session might compare with being counselled by a nun and admitting I wanted to get up her habit.
Regarding the cartoon I have to admit I thought other people in scn were doing grand things. I was just doing my part by being an auditor.
Richard – I am rock slamming because I have evil intentions to shut down Scientology for eternity. It is totally appropriate after finding out the level of deceit and betrayal this fake “church” has implemented with the lies about Hubbard and the “science” of knowing how to know.
Scientology actually has members train to NOT KNOW.
Wake up Lurker’s and get your ethics in – LOOK!
You may rock slam when you find out the truth and that would be appropriate.
Ha, Ms. B, I was sick as soon as the ship left the dock every time I was there. If you ask the Ship’s Doctor for Dramamine you will be told it is a “drug” but you can get the pills, they just don’t stay down long enough to do any good. For the Gold crew they had candied ginger set out for the sickies. Same problem, except candied ginger makes you sick even on land.
Supposedly the Freewinds has “stabilizers” or something, but when the Captain needs to make up for lost time and decides to go “full speed ahead” the ship rocks and rolls like a rowboat in a hurricane.
Once our services crew member was on a tour up on the flying bridge when the motion got to her. She managed to reach the side of the ship before expelling the contents of her stomach, but in this situation you have to consider wind speed and direction. Unfortunately Captain Napier was coming up the ladder right below. His dress whites were decorated with ribbons that are not in the Flag Order. Needless to say, that was her last trip to the Freewinds.
Never heard of getting labelled PTS for sea-sickness, you are just supposed to suck it up. Or try some charcoal powder. One time during a meal time I was on the little deck that some jokingly call the “Poop Deck”, behind the Starlight Cabaret. Trying the trick of looking at stable landmarks in the distance to settle my stomach. Dave Miscavige came by and chided me for idleness. I tried to reply that it was a meal time, this wasn’t received well. At the next muster Dave came by to deliver a long lecture about how he was working so hard and staying up late only to find me idle etc. etc. You can’t win with that guy.
I think getting seasick really depends on how rough the waves are, right? When I was on the Freewinds between St Kitts and Aruba we hit a rough patch one afternoon. The waves were kind of high and the sky was dark and it was raining. This lasted into the night and I did feel queasy walking around The next day the sea was very smooth again and the sun was shining again and I lost that queasy feeling.
Aqua, you were lucky. The Captain usually moves the Freewinds late at night when there are paying public aboard. If you are flat on your back in your bunk the motion is kind of soothing. Lots of folks tell me they get great sleep on the Freewinds for that reason.
I was not so lucky, being in a situation where I had to work almost 24/7 for a week to get the Starlight Cabaret set up for the Maiden Voyage Anniversary events. Running wires through the drop ceiling with the fuzzy asbestos above it falling on my face. Stopping every few minutes to anoint the trash can again. I only hope the paint they sprayed on the asbestos kept it from lodging in my lungs the way asbestos sometimes does.
The Captain also takes umbrage when there is a delay on the docks that messes with his sailing schedule. Often happens when three or four containers full of audio-visual gear has to be loaded on the ship by hand up the gangway or through the cattle doors. He is not above going fast to “make up the time” and sailing on a less-than-profitable course (against the waves, resulting in even more motion).
But I’m not bitter about all that, today I’m free and don’t have to go anywhere near the ocean if I don’t feel like it. My thumb from my nose to you, Captain Napier. May you and your good buddy Dave get no less than you deserve.

Awesome post! Are those buzzards circling the sinking Not for FreeWinds???

That’s what I wondered, too. Excellent little (but mighty) detail!
