Lol. We can see Mike that you got out long ago from $camology. Honestly, who
Will serve pastries these days??! That trick hone 8 years ago. Maybe coffee with cream. That’s it. Pastries is over the budget. Asho used to serve for all December month refreshments between 12 and 1 pm everyday until the end of the holidays. This is also finished since the merging of Asho day and foundation. We are in a new era now. Give us all including your life and get zero. This is the elite group of people on planet earth with the 4 level ethics of exchange. With one word: Criminals. !!!!
Sorry I meant -4 level of exchange. Give all your money, paying all the bridge get into bankruptcy status and then give us your life – get recruited to the SO. In exchange we will draft “you” to the RPF and abuse physically and verbally. This is $camology in the full sense of the word. Because the one that went there is the one fricking most idiot, lame mind that went to the SO from begin with and brained washed to a dead end. In short, all $cientologist without exception that are there brained washed to the core without way out. Eating crap and in a negativity environment for year in and year out while instead of waking up with “OT abilities” and have a sense of awareness they are going blind. That is the elite group. Most out ethical lyers, thieves and criminals in a full day light taking advantage of good people that have been brain washed to the core of their sole which are now rendered to be so week minds that they can see nothing and do zilch about it. David Miss-Cabbage. Your day is close! You won’t survive for long. Not for long.
Anyone know who the Gold Base guards are? SO, outside mercenaries, just a group of Scienos on the site?
The Vatican has Swiss Guards, who does Davey have?
The body routers language of: slight of hand, deception and evasion, remind me of Hubbard’s style of sales fraud.
Hey wait! they’re Scientologists, made in the image of a conman savior.
Deception, fraud and evasion as a communication style.
This last Aftermath really revealed DM as a supreme dick. I can’t see him surviving long in his gilded cage. His depravity has totally destroyed any inkling of good in Scientology.
And for OSA: the evasion and deception was filmed on the Apollo when Hubbard, with a straight face, said he was only married twice.
And did anyone else cringe as I do when Hubbard said of Polly, “she’s dead” – and had that creepy grin on his face as if he was pleased at what he said?
I’ve thought about that.
Who amongst us has announced to others that someone we once loved is dead and said it with a creepy grin?
The guy was malignant. DM now channels his own brand of Hubbard inspired malignancy.
Heard that many times while attempting to extricate myself from an unwanted communication cycle.
At first, I would be polite. I was brought up to be polite. One is not rude. One wants or needs to leave, or one doesn’t want to do something, or would like to do something for some reason cannot and must decline or refuse, but one is never rude in the refusal. One gives polite hints and excuses, as truthfully as possible without giving offense.
My parents taught me this. Tell the truth whenever and as much as possible, don’t lie, don’t make up silly stories and excuses when a refusal is necessary but at the same time don’t give offense. Refusals must be successfully accomplished using truth AND manners.
Always worked for me in the past but when I hit Scientology’s Sea Org, let me say this about that:
FUHGETABOUDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hints of ANY kind went sailed right over their heads.
In the early years, desperate for something they would hear that would make them understand that I could not do this or would not do that, I would get flustered, angry and RUDE. – this last being the WORST sin I could commit according to my upbringing 🙂
Well as soon as I crossed the line into “misemotion” I DOOMED myself with them. They could write me up for being rude to a Sea Org member. And they did.
Basically it just gave them an excuse to keep the conversation GOING.
After 22 years I hit on a winning, workable and impenetrable strategy that ticked all the boxes.
When pressed to do something, I didn’t want to do or could not do I would simply – and very politely and firmly – refuse.
When asked for a reason I would give NO reason.
“Its just not something I’m going to do.”
When pressed for the “why” I would still not give it.
Then they’d say something like, “When are you free so that we can discuss this?”, and I’d reply, “This is not a discussion, thank you.”.
And I’d stick to that. Real, real simple. Give them nothing, no reason. Just, “Thank you for asking, but I will not be doing that.”, with very good confront and a calm, firm voice and a friendly smile. Over and over, the same answer, conceptually.. Their communication would get batted right back to them but – and this was a big win for me – I could now refuse without losing my temper, without being RUDE.
As I said, this only took me 22 years to figure out (I’m a very fast learner) but when I finally did it was a big relief.
Thanks, lynn. It only took me 22 years to figure out that their asking me the same thing over and over and over again despite my having said “No” over and over and over again, was rude. THEY were being rude, not me! Finally, I caught on 🙂
Greetings Lynn, surprise. you were my hair dresser for over 5 years until I went to the SO and after when I was public. Then I found that you were out & against. You cognited faster and smarter than me. ?. Blessing dear.
Thank you, Scribe. It actually WAS a huge win for me back in the day. I can still feel the relief I felt back then. Today, of course, its just one more thing to laugh at myself about 🙂
Not sure if what I just wrote to you went thru CG so to make sure I’m thanking you here again and letting you know that I’m glad that something I wrote was helpful or useful.
Aquamarine-
Excellent technique! I used something similar when my kids became argumentative teenagers. (But I was taught it in a “Parenting Teenagers” class provided by my local court and probation officer.) Keeping a cool head and a firm but conversational voice is the key for the best success.
Your experience is remarkable and impressive for you developed a way to be truthful and not be manipulated to do something that wasn’t your wish.
Thanks, Deborah. It makes me uncomfortable to lie (mostly) so it was a relief to hit on this workable strategy which covered all the bases. And it only took me 22 years to figure it out 🙂 Interesting that the same stuff is taught in a class for handling teenagers! Ah, the irony!
It was easy for me to walk away, rude or not. Isn’t the EP of Grade 0, the ability to talk with anyone on any subject, OR NOT. Talking is effect, listening is cause. Who, after all, controls the conversation if the listener leaves (or sticks his fingers in his ears)?
Scientology questioning is not really interested in anyone’s answer(s). You can be as honest/deceitful, precise/generalizing, or as respectful/rude as can be. The goal is to MAKE YOU TO COMPLY with the cult’s prompts. Whether it’s to get you do a personality test, touch a wall, yell at an ashtray, or to confess to some “crime”, the objective is always CONTROL. Control is the cult’s only narrative. Free flowing, open-minded, and reasonable conversation where participants can disagree, learn from another, be silent, change the subject, or be candid is too unpredictable. Cultists can’t control you if you refuse to play their game by their rules!!
That’s right, they could not have cared less about my answers. Their “acknowledgements” were all FAKE. “I understand.”…”I totally understand.”..”Completely got it.”…etc., etc.
Then they’d ask me the same question AGAIN – the question I had already answered, as “No” and told them IN DETAIL the reason why which in turn they had ANSWERED with the acknowledgement, “I understand.”
So, exasperated, I’d say, “Well, if you UNDERSTAND, then why do you keep asking me the same thing over and over and over? OBVIOUSLY you do NOT “understand” at all, because if you did you’d stop asking me this!”
For so many years I had exasperating comm cycles like this with staff.
Finally, I started exasperating THEM.
I enjoyed a few years of THAT but by then I was UTR on my way out.
“The objective is always CONTROL”
Boy, you got that right!
“Look at that wall.”
“Give this paper to those people and tell them to put it on that table”
“Look around here and point out something you could have”.
And, of course our all-time favorite:
“Make it go right!”.
Did I forget any?
Went to the Bunker this morning. Read what Valerie Haney added to what she had revealed the other night. Came away with wondering if maybe the reason DM is so nasty (some might call it bitchy) is that he is, well, I guess the nice way to put it is he’s, um, confused? That would tend create chaos in his thinking about just who/what he is and just what number he is on that tone scale IMO.
I will order it Mike. It will be good to put that question in the answered column. I did get Battlefield Scientology and it did address one of my questions, what happened to Shelly’s mother. John Travolta is still sort of a mystery to me.
Peggy I do have some thoughts about JT that I intend to share with you after just a bit more reading. Lol. Just my opinion of course. I will say he’s spineless and semi clueless. Have you finished Battlefield Scientology? I’m halfway there.
I have been jumping around through the book Ann but probably am about the same as you with where I am with the book. I’ll wait until you are ready but will say that he has to be so darned brainwashed that he is just lost. What I was curious about was the death of his son and how he handled it. I guess rather how they handled him.
I find that I have to switch off to some lighter reading sometimes Ann, like Janet Evanovich, or, walk away from the laptop and maybe clean or do laundry, or cook. you know, that boring but necessary stuff.
Confused? Are you joking??? We passed the PR era. We are facing life as it is now. Are you trying to make him pretty? Let’s call the boy in his name: Criminal, suppressive, sociopath, sadist & narcissistic. To say the least.
You are right $camology, and Mike also pointed me back on the right path. I was trying to politely say perhaps DM suffers from not realizing why he longs to be with and be just likeTC along with being criminal suppressive, sociopath, sadistic and narcissistic. Battlefield Scientology and the interview at the Bunker sort of put that question in my mind when I read the comments Valerie Haney revealed what DM’s wife made about that relationship.
Peggy I always look for redeeming qualities in people but I honestly can’t find any with DM! Malignant narcissist, sociopath, possible psychopath, sadist, and genuine grade A asshole!
RB is brilliant. He nails it every time with ironic humor. I often wonder if he was Sea Org because he really knows the inner workings, the mind set, of these kids who still believe. LOL
The “Dissemination Drill” in Scn was asking a person “What’s ruining your life?” and then telling them Scn could handle it for them. It sounds kind of crude but if you had some rapport with a person it could be asked in a non offensive manner. I “kind of” believed Scn could handle anyone’s ruin but was sure of it so I rarely disseminated. I probably just mentioned some matter of fact “benefits” of Scn to friends or acquaintances and if they had any interest. fine, and if not they went into the category of “eventually” they’d become Scientologists.
Sounds about right to me……in retrospect….no one is perfect…we ALL have issues with one thing or another & that does NOT make us a “bad person or a misfit”…..
To get everyone in the Holiday season….. some Holiday Carols Scientology style
Sung to the tune of Silent Night….
From Scientology’s Christmas special….at Flag
Silent Birth
Silent Birth….Engramic Birth
Drink your calmag …have no mirth
Round your young ones, your brothers, your child
Holy Xenu the Sea Org is wild
Trapped in a cult just like Slaves
Prisoners of their own belief
Silent Birth…Engramic Birth
SP’s quake…you have no worth
Cluster’s and Bee Tee’s from heaven afar
Attached to your body singing hallelujah
Xenu the Warlord is Deeeeee……eeaaaad
Xenu the Warlord is Dead!
Round your young ones, your brothers, your child
Holy Xenu the Sea Org is wild
Trapped in a cult just like Slaves
Prisoners of their own belief.
Thank you Shirley
It makes me laugh about how crazy Scientology is
Laughter heals the hurt and pain
when one fully understands the entire betrayal of Scientology
The police can’t legally make you open your trunk without probable cause.
Scientology? They make up their own probably cause, like “someone left Gold in a car trunk a couple of years ago, so, open that trunk, and DO IT NOW!”
My whole family is in Scientology except myself, spouse and kids. Mike and Leah – thank you for having the courage to speak out. You helped me and my immediate family stay far away from Scientology. We are under the radar because we don’t want to lose our family members still trapped in Scientology.
I finally figured out what Scientology does to bait and switch.
Mike – I hope you and Leah do Season 4 with dissecting the brainwashing methods Scientology uses to bait and switch then bankrupt and shatter lives.
The staff is trained to get you to talk about something upsetting. Find their RUIN.
They restimulate you – get you upset. The relief comes when they tell you they can fix it.
Then they sell you, on a gradient, the solution.
They start out with somewhat affordable courses then as you find some relief of being upset – they turn it up on a gradient…constantly restimulating – never erasing.
You don’t ever get rid of any engrams – you learn how to shut down all emotions with the clever tech.
That is how they make Scientology robots who cannot and will not think for themselves.
Scientology’s Bridge alone is a ruin that that will put you on a hamster wheel for eternity – where you will chase the carrot.
They feed you lies that you have been around for 76 trillion years and have engrams of this lifetime and 76 trillion lifetimes. What a money making racket.
They claim they will erase the reactive mind and get rid of it.
The truth is – you have to realize you are mocking up your reactive mind but can stop it and control it. Whallla – you are CLEAR.
They get you chasing the state of Clear with L Ron’s tech…. actual implanted ideas with the repeater technique.
Implanted ideas like “Go Clear”, “Go Oat Tea”, “Do your Bridge at Flag”, “Do the L’s”, Do Super Power” “Move up in Status” and other ideas that benefit Scientology and harm the member.
The commands are given repeatedly over and over – posters, glossy promo, events, videos, mail propaganda, flyers, mailers, postcards, books, magazines – all propaganda designed to trick and decieve you into believing Scientology does something.
Then you invest a lot of money and time….this sets the hook.
They get you alone
as they very cleverly and slowly convince you that the wog world is dangerous…
L Ron Hubbard’s technology is riddled with ideas repeated over and over throughout his hundreds of courses…
Folks – this is HYPNOSIS….and it is done with your permission – covertly and slowly over time.
They feed you phrases to click in the mechanism of cognitive dissonance…..and other thought stopping techiques so you won’t look you won’t think, you won’t believe you have been swindled.
such as:
ALL journalists lie about Scientology, anyone speaking negatively about Scientology, the founder or leader, is hiding big fat crimes, No case on post, no entheta, anyone below 2.0 on the Tone Scale is low toned, a low-toner, a degraded being etc.
I love disecting the scam of Scientology. I highly recommend you lurking OT’s do it too. You must deprogram yourselves of this evil tech.
You can get out of Scientology – but you must work to get the Scientololgy out of you!
Yes, bravo, Photographer! It DOES take conscious work to deprogram one’s self after leavng scientology, but the resulting growth in one’s awareness and inner peace justifies the effort. For any lurkers and doubters, I’d suggest ” one-stop ” sites like lermanet.com or The Underground Bunker, because, on one site, you can find a cornucopia of information about scientology and its long history of organizational criminality, vexatious litigation, abd human rights abuses that are hidden from members of the ” religion “. You can also learn about Hubbard’s stolen valor, lack of education, drug abuse, and criminal history. You can read detailed critiques and logical deconstructions of scientology’s numerous lies, contradictions, and pseudo-science. You can read first-hand accounts of ex-Sea Org members who worked with Hubbard. You can find out about the state of scientology’s finances and David Miscavige’s 3-plus decades of inurement…and much more.
If you still feel like scientology ” has some value “, then use the rights granted to you in The Creed Of A Scientologist to investigate the issue deeply and to communicate with anyone about anything in your quest to determine the truth. Remember: LOOK. Remember: actual time, place, form, and event. This is called ” thinking for yourself “. Good luck!
It was already hard to do body routing a few years back. Nowadays it must be near to impossible because everything the cult does just confirms the weirdness, the delusion the scam and the abuse. The cult could have survived by keeping low prices, basic services low in the chart and the mission system the way it was before the Sea .Org and Miscavige. It would be one more self enhancement mouvement with motivated people like David Mayo trying to do his best to help people and it would be quite successful. The problem came from Hubbard’s sick mind which contained the self destroying seeds that led to his failure and to the failure of Scientology.
Very funny, I like the line: ‘We haven’t ended cycle on you yet.’ reminds me of what an IAS regge tried to say to me once as I made determinedly for the nearest exit.
Reminded me of a time at the shrine where staff members blocked the exits so we could stay and buy the latest and greatest releases of all time. I told one to step aside or “you will be going out the door with me”. When I got outside, Anon was there protesting with signs carried high. SO members were carrying blank signs to hide the Anon signs so we wouldn’t get re-stimulated from OTIII data and get sick and die.
What everyone should do is, copy the “Important quotes” that Mike has repeating on the left side of this blog and send them to their nearest orgs or all orgs if you wish. Anonymously. Do not sign it in any way.
Especially this quote:
If the org slumps during this transition period, don’t engage in “fund raising” or “selling postcards” or borrowing money. Just make more income with Scientology. L Ron Hubbard From HCOPL URGENT ORG PROGRAMMING
But all should be included.
If you know one or more people’s names in the orgs, send the same to them too.
Bravo, RB! I feel sure that many such conversations are having the same deleterious effects on lots of SO and Org staff members. The non-stop negativity in pretty much all media is taking its steady toll. Only the blinded “whales” are giving the insiders the feeling of growth.

I thought that really was a great line too kengullette. I gotta feel sorry for those poor SO gals though.

RB is brilliant. He nails it every time with ironic humor. I often wonder if he was Sea Org because he really knows the inner workings, the mind set, of these kids who still believe. LOL

Wrap in circuits. Real stuff.

The “Dissemination Drill” in Scn was asking a person “What’s ruining your life?” and then telling them Scn could handle it for them. It sounds kind of crude but if you had some rapport with a person it could be asked in a non offensive manner. I “kind of” believed Scn could handle anyone’s ruin but was sure of it so I rarely disseminated. I probably just mentioned some matter of fact “benefits” of Scn to friends or acquaintances and if they had any interest. fine, and if not they went into the category of “eventually” they’d become Scientologists.

Sounds about right to me……in retrospect….no one is perfect…we ALL have issues with one thing or another & that does NOT make us a “bad person or a misfit”…..

In Portland, they were out in force trying desperately to get anyone to take the personality test…No takers. LOL.

To get everyone in the Holiday season….. some Holiday Carols Scientology style
Sung to the tune of Silent Night….
From Scientology’s Christmas special….at Flag
Silent Birth
Silent Birth….Engramic Birth
Drink your calmag …have no mirth
Round your young ones, your brothers, your child
Holy Xenu the Sea Org is wild
Trapped in a cult just like Slaves
Prisoners of their own belief
Silent Birth…Engramic Birth
SP’s quake…you have no worth
Cluster’s and Bee Tee’s from heaven afar
Attached to your body singing hallelujah
Xenu the Warlord is Deeeeee……eeaaaad
Xenu the Warlord is Dead!
Round your young ones, your brothers, your child
Holy Xenu the Sea Org is wild
Trapped in a cult just like Slaves
Prisoners of their own belief.
Shirley Ann Hubbert says
Stat…sooo funny .wow
Stat says
Thank you Shirley
It makes me laugh about how crazy Scientology is
Laughter heals the hurt and pain
when one fully understands the entire betrayal of Scientology
Ammo Alamo says
The police can’t legally make you open your trunk without probable cause.
Scientology? They make up their own probably cause, like “someone left Gold in a car trunk a couple of years ago, so, open that trunk, and DO IT NOW!”
MarcAnon says
LOL. I wonder what local staff routing public would really say to questions about Aftermath or any bigtime SPs these days.
Reminds me that I need to get my Aftermath Found cards in my wallet. I’ll take your card if you take mine 🙂
Photographer says
My whole family is in Scientology except myself, spouse and kids. Mike and Leah – thank you for having the courage to speak out. You helped me and my immediate family stay far away from Scientology. We are under the radar because we don’t want to lose our family members still trapped in Scientology.
I finally figured out what Scientology does to bait and switch.
Mike – I hope you and Leah do Season 4 with dissecting the brainwashing methods Scientology uses to bait and switch then bankrupt and shatter lives.
The staff is trained to get you to talk about something upsetting. Find their RUIN.
They restimulate you – get you upset. The relief comes when they tell you they can fix it.
Then they sell you, on a gradient, the solution.
They start out with somewhat affordable courses then as you find some relief of being upset – they turn it up on a gradient…constantly restimulating – never erasing.
You don’t ever get rid of any engrams – you learn how to shut down all emotions with the clever tech.
That is how they make Scientology robots who cannot and will not think for themselves.
Scientology’s Bridge alone is a ruin that that will put you on a hamster wheel for eternity – where you will chase the carrot.
They feed you lies that you have been around for 76 trillion years and have engrams of this lifetime and 76 trillion lifetimes. What a money making racket.
They claim they will erase the reactive mind and get rid of it.
The truth is – you have to realize you are mocking up your reactive mind but can stop it and control it. Whallla – you are CLEAR.
They get you chasing the state of Clear with L Ron’s tech…. actual implanted ideas with the repeater technique.
Implanted ideas like “Go Clear”, “Go Oat Tea”, “Do your Bridge at Flag”, “Do the L’s”, Do Super Power” “Move up in Status” and other ideas that benefit Scientology and harm the member.
The commands are given repeatedly over and over – posters, glossy promo, events, videos, mail propaganda, flyers, mailers, postcards, books, magazines – all propaganda designed to trick and decieve you into believing Scientology does something.
Then you invest a lot of money and time….this sets the hook.
They get you alone
as they very cleverly and slowly convince you that the wog world is dangerous…
L Ron Hubbard’s technology is riddled with ideas repeated over and over throughout his hundreds of courses…
Folks – this is HYPNOSIS….and it is done with your permission – covertly and slowly over time.
They feed you phrases to click in the mechanism of cognitive dissonance…..and other thought stopping techiques so you won’t look you won’t think, you won’t believe you have been swindled.
such as:
ALL journalists lie about Scientology, anyone speaking negatively about Scientology, the founder or leader, is hiding big fat crimes, No case on post, no entheta, anyone below 2.0 on the Tone Scale is low toned, a low-toner, a degraded being etc.
I love disecting the scam of Scientology. I highly recommend you lurking OT’s do it too. You must deprogram yourselves of this evil tech.
You can get out of Scientology – but you must work to get the Scientololgy out of you!
Ann Davis says
Photographer I think you nailed it!
Mark Foster says
Yes, bravo, Photographer! It DOES take conscious work to deprogram one’s self after leavng scientology, but the resulting growth in one’s awareness and inner peace justifies the effort. For any lurkers and doubters, I’d suggest ” one-stop ” sites like lermanet.com or The Underground Bunker, because, on one site, you can find a cornucopia of information about scientology and its long history of organizational criminality, vexatious litigation, abd human rights abuses that are hidden from members of the ” religion “. You can also learn about Hubbard’s stolen valor, lack of education, drug abuse, and criminal history. You can read detailed critiques and logical deconstructions of scientology’s numerous lies, contradictions, and pseudo-science. You can read first-hand accounts of ex-Sea Org members who worked with Hubbard. You can find out about the state of scientology’s finances and David Miscavige’s 3-plus decades of inurement…and much more.
If you still feel like scientology ” has some value “, then use the rights granted to you in The Creed Of A Scientologist to investigate the issue deeply and to communicate with anyone about anything in your quest to determine the truth. Remember: LOOK. Remember: actual time, place, form, and event. This is called ” thinking for yourself “. Good luck!
$camology the toad to ditch says
Lol. Love it.
Mark says
Coffee and pastries. Were those items surveyed first?
Looks like the girls need more drilling….
Alex de Valera says
It was already hard to do body routing a few years back. Nowadays it must be near to impossible because everything the cult does just confirms the weirdness, the delusion the scam and the abuse. The cult could have survived by keeping low prices, basic services low in the chart and the mission system the way it was before the Sea .Org and Miscavige. It would be one more self enhancement mouvement with motivated people like David Mayo trying to do his best to help people and it would be quite successful. The problem came from Hubbard’s sick mind which contained the self destroying seeds that led to his failure and to the failure of Scientology.

I had a similar experience back in 19-67/68 on a sidewalk in New York City! They really Do Not Learn! ! !
Gimpy says
Very funny, I like the line: ‘We haven’t ended cycle on you yet.’ reminds me of what an IAS regge tried to say to me once as I made determinedly for the nearest exit.
Peabody says
Reminded me of a time at the shrine where staff members blocked the exits so we could stay and buy the latest and greatest releases of all time. I told one to step aside or “you will be going out the door with me”. When I got outside, Anon was there protesting with signs carried high. SO members were carrying blank signs to hide the Anon signs so we wouldn’t get re-stimulated from OTIII data and get sick and die.
Dio says
What everyone should do is, copy the “Important quotes” that Mike has repeating on the left side of this blog and send them to their nearest orgs or all orgs if you wish. Anonymously. Do not sign it in any way.
Especially this quote:
If the org slumps during this transition period, don’t engage in “fund raising” or “selling postcards” or borrowing money. Just make more income with Scientology. L Ron Hubbard From HCOPL URGENT ORG PROGRAMMING
But all should be included.
If you know one or more people’s names in the orgs, send the same to them too.
And off course no return address.

Great way with words!

Body Routing has become so difficult that the Routers would do better with a windowless van with ‘Free Candy’ painted on the side.

Seriously funny.That’s impossible.They have been checking car trunks since 2016.

Scientology is the cheese in a mousetrap. Take a bite and you’re trapped. Those girls really need a good night’s sleep. Some sex wouldn’t hurt either.
Peter says
Bravo, RB! I feel sure that many such conversations are having the same deleterious effects on lots of SO and Org staff members. The non-stop negativity in pretty much all media is taking its steady toll. Only the blinded “whales” are giving the insiders the feeling of growth.
Ms. B. Haven says
“They’ve been checking car trunks at Gold Base since 2016.”
RB yer killin’ me…

And I’m sure that’s actually true! Right??
