THAT was the “smoke and mirrors” “show on the road” version of Scientology’s Code of Honor.
Here is the real version working behind the curtain based on actual results:
1. Anything good that happens to you is because of Scientology. Write up your success story and make sure it is BPI.
2. Anything bad that happens to you or anyone you know or see or hear about is your fault and you pulled it in. Get your check book out and pay Scientology for that.
3. Anything bad that Scientology does must be masked, covered up and hidden from view or get out your checkbook and pay Scientology until you “get it”.
4. NEVER help anyone. EVER. Well, except a “new” Scientologist during the “love-bombing” stage until they “trust”. Then – fuck em.
5. Never question anything ever at any time period or else your eternity is at stake.
6. Give until it hurts and then give some more then get others to give until it hurts and then annihilate them utterly.
7. Encourage yourself and others to go completely into debt for every Reg cycle…so as to lose you power as a thetan.
8. Sue, harass, stalk, kill and maim anyone who criticizes or questions COB or the Church of Scientology.
9. You will never be enough, give enough or do enough for Scientology. You are nothing so get used to it DB!
10. NEVER apologize or make up the damage when you hurt someone else and always use “the greater good for the greater number of dynamics”..excuse when you do. This creates confusion and people are easily manipulated when they are in confusion and hurting. It helps maximize profits and minimize damages.
Remember – the TECH works when standardly applied.
Regraded Being, you made me cry!!!! You are a genius!! The dead plants… wow! Every life form around the church of integral scientology dies…. Well done
The dead plants, now that am some funny shit. Plants need water and they probably don’t do well in a hostile environment, I recommend fake silk ones. They are impervious to entheta ( Think hate). Personal integrity apparently isn’t more important than keeping a slave body alive to suffer yet another day….
The Code of Chivalry was mentioned as an inspiration for Hubbard. I think the cherch secretly follows that code as opposed to the Code of Honor.
Léon Gautier, in his La Chevalerie, published for the first time in 1883, bemoaned the “invasion of Breton romans” which replaced the pure military ethos of the crusades with Arthurian fiction and courtly adventures. Gautier tries to give a “popular summary” of what he proposes was the “ancient code of chivalry” of the 11th and 12th centuries derived from the military ethos of the crusades which would evolve into the late medieval notion of chivalry. Gautier’s Ten Commandments of chivalry are:
Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches and thou shalt observe all its directions (Believe the Church’s teachings and observe all the Church’s directions).
Thou shalt defend the Church (Defend the Church).
Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them (Respect and defend all weaknesses).
Thou shalt love the country in which thou wast born (Love your country).
Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy.
Thou shalt make war against the infidel without cessation and without mercy (Show no mercy to the infidel. Do not hesitate to make war with them).
Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God (Perform all your feudal duties as long as they do not conflict with the laws of God).
Thou shalt never lie, and shalt remain faithful to thy pledged word (Never lie or go back on one’s word).
Thou shalt be generous, and give largesse to everyone (Be generous to everyone).
Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil (Always and everywhere be right and good against evil and injustice).[14]
Oh RB! You’re a bit of a worry… you’ve got the Cof$ pegged so well.
I think of the Cof$ like the flu. It’s a virus that needs the most careful change of lifestyle to eliminate.
I hope you are inoculated well my friend. I do enjoy your work.
Amazing. That is so amazing it makes me laugh. When in doubt throw an ESTO through a 2nd floor plate glass window. It isn’t always correct, but it’s always safe if your name is David Miscavige. My sides are spliting from laughing. 🙂 David Miscavige reminds me of the Red Queen in Alice In Wonderland whose head was twice the size of her body. 🙂
“Is there anyone out there?” dm asks himself every day, sometimes desperately. Momentarily someone falls into place, like Mike did once, then Tommy & now Karen (disappeared herself) but overall agreement is a word miscavige knows from only one perspective. Unless outside influences align perfectly with his “think” there is no one there, not really.
Money on the other hand, isn’t everything it is cracked up to be for him either, that’s why he needs a constant flow, it would be impossible to satisfy him in that regard, money is only an instrument which he plays, albeit a terrible and destructive tune.
There is no salvaging, saving or turning around a being like – only elimination, in any of its forms.
Got the upside-down cross on the “chaplain”, RB, very good! I’ve always liked the Code of Honour, but it’s another case of “do as I say, not as I do”. I wonder what Mary Sue would say about Ron’s application of it towards her. It’s easy to write loftily, it’s another thing to actually live what one preaches, for any of us.
While the inverted cross is commonly held to be a Satanist symbol it also represents the pope. St. Peter, the first pope, was crucified upside down and the inverted cross has been incorporated into the papal throne.
Yes, historically the Petrine Cross, but somehow I don’t think that was RB’s intention. Most people today know it or use it as a satanist symbol. Since Ron allegedly considered himself to be “Satan” in terms of being the “light bringer” (pretty sure that’s a distorted use of the term from the Old Testament), I would say the latter meaning is more appropriate.
I wish RG would compile these into a book, maybe even interspersed with brief first-person accounts of people who have lived through these situations. That would be a big piece of sand in Miscarriage’s eye.
I am sure RG would be happy for anyone to do so and would give any needed permission. RG does a lot of work putting them together. Why don’t you compile them into a book to save him the work?
Oh yea! I would even help design the cover. I would have a road winding through a pretty counrtyside with the sun in the background. I think a good title for the book would be WTH??? I would even volunteer to hand them out to the hundreds of people who visit the Ideal Orgs on a daily basis.
Re: COH point “7. Never permit your affinity to be be alloyed. ” Alloyed with what? Gold? Silver? Titanium? ?
Where DID Mr. Hubbard come up with these gems? Truly, the florid phrases which burbled forth freely (wait, poor choice of words: they definitely were not free to anyone else!) from his subconscious seem tinged with 50 shades of Malignant Narcissism and a touch of Borderline Personality Disorder, perhaps.
I guess it would have been way too transparent to just say “Always be loyal.”
Where DID Mr. Hubbard come up with these gems? I’ll tell you, but don’t laugh.
Oh, go ahead.
The Knights of the Round Table. No, really. The code of chivalry. My recall of my source for this is a little vague right now. Either I read a Messenger’s story, wherein the Old Man spun adventures as a knight in the days of yore, or I got it second hand.
Sure got our attention though, didn’t it?
So did things like drugs, alcohol, sex, rock & roll, the blues, money acquisition, careers etc. & etc.
Like is like a farm, every now and again you step in the pooh. Nice looking cows though!
Hi civmar, Good AM here,hope you are doing well.I read your post and I seem to have a misty memory of Ron and a quest regarding a knight,boy have no idea when or where I read/heard that.As you know,quite a few Messenger Org members would come to Asho,and some were very personable and hung out with Asho F at muster etc.I may have gotten it second hand too,although I had a notebook I had made where I filed all of Ron’s quotes and stories that were not green or red on white.Might have been in there.Always love to you.Ann.
Hi Mike, I read the Code of Honor over quite a few times.Did the Sea Org ever flunk whole parts of that and then some! Amazing,the way I see it now.Love,Ann.
Ann, interesting point. It was the sea org that didn’t apply the CoH for themselves, and refused anyone else from using it. It is self destructive.
Overts lead to more overts. (And Karma is a bitch in heat, so, even after they get out, they still have to deal with it.)
Overall, when you think about it, life sparingly allows much of a successful second chance. The younger you are more opportunities are available but something like scientology indents itself upon you. Sites like this show that you are not alone and that is a good thing. Getting stuff of your chest or a good laugh like RB supplies are wonderful. As Mike says and named this blog, “Something Can Be Done about It” and indeed it can, we are the people that count, active members of scientology haven’t earned that distinction yet.
Experience is an interesting bedfellow.
This week’s cartoon packs a punch with only three sections (not counting the C of H). It shows the cruel cannibalization going on in this sick group of people. In the end they will implode and eat themselves alive.
I am not aware of any religion other than the Amish that forces disconnection. The Amish, like Scientology, are not a growing community. You would think that Scientology and the Amish would figure out that disconnection/shunning is not working.
There’s one difference: the Amish have a tendency to breed, which replenishes their numbers. The cire believers in Scientology are not allowed to do that.
Others that do it are: Jehovahs Witnesses, FLDS, Bahaii, Chassidic sects and(some) UltraOrthodox communities.
Catholics used to (to a person was excommunicated) but stopped the practice… sometime recently too. When I was a kid (I was raised catholic) we were instructed to cease all communication with my cousin who was excommunicated. Instead, my grandma switched churches, as she was never cutting off contact with her eldest grandchild.
I think shunning/disconnection is also practiced by the Jehovah’s witness, the Bahá’í faith, and some ultra-Orthodox Jews. I would not be surprised if it is practiced in Islam especially in more conservative circles. Scientology uses every religious manipulation trick in the book, including preventing people from forming their own thoughts/coming to their own conclusions.
Well, Apostasy in Islam basically says there is no leaving Islam. You can convert TO Islam, you cannot convert FROM Islam. In many places, that is a death sentence but in others, it would be a long prison sentence.
So I doubt there is any shunning/disconnection in Islam at all.
Some chemical reactions are like that. Like people adding coke to good whisky. There ain’t no turning back. There’s no accounting for people’s taste.
Leaving the mob – good luck with that Goodfella.
The Amish, JW’s etc. may shun you but they don’t generally have PI’s follow you around if you make public statements they don’t like. What makes the Co$ a menace is their systematic approach to the oppression of dissent. I can imagine the evil dwarf ordering hits on people if he really thought he could get away with it.
I love the wilted plants. Normally plants do OK around the org as long as they are watered. Even when we all smoked 24/7 in the org the plants did OK. What can not live around the org and gets suffocated is compassion and love. Management would come in and squish the crew one by one. Then after years of that the crew did it to each other. As for us doing it to ourselves well… I’m sure that was going on as well. The hard part was attempting to see or ascertain what exactly was wrong while being there. I got kicked out. I didn’t figure it out until about 15 years later even after seeing many incidents which had nothing to do with clearing the planet. Just like police and security forces attract some guys that like to push people around, these types seem to have elevated to the management structure of scientology. I don’t want to get into a name game but I did notice the persons like that didn’t last very long. I assumed they would all go away but DM stayed and stays and is surrounded by like kind. I suspect the rest of the crew are in fear, think they have caused all the trouble and are actually under great suppression. Of course they disconnect from their loved ones in an attempt to correct it. I wish I could whisper in their ears ‘Yes, the suppression is near, it’s so near you can’t see it.’ One has to put his bias aside to see it. Each time I did the Doubt condition in an attempt to remain in the group in good standing, I did not understand the meaning of ‘bias’. Of course crew are bias. They’ve been indoctrinated. Well it can’t possibly go on for much longer now. Tomorrow I and my guy are visiting LRH Blvd with our new T-shirts on 🙂
I’m thinking of sending him into ASHO backlines with his pocket camera on just to get some pictures for Ann and maybe interview the Letter Reg.
Hi Cece,Oh yes please,that would be creepy and hysterical all rolled into one! Although there are probably cameras watching cameras now in all cos property.David Miscavige must be obeyed.I can picture your T-shirts too,brilliant!Always Love,Ann.
I figured you’d like that Ann. He is all for it and we are stopping by Brownstones to get a pocket camera as they are probably on to cell phones sticking out. I’ll let you know were he posts the results 🙂
PS Neither he nor I care if we are recognized or caught on camera. We have nothing to hide. He is a ‘never in’ and my PC folders of 35 years of spiritual enlightenment have all been displayed to my x and children a few years ago.
Code of Honor #16 Always have someone to Blame for major pr flaps.
Code of Honor #17 Deny any knowledge of of anyone who has screwed up, even lifelong friends
Code of Honor #18 If your in a jam, use code of honor 1 thru 15 as an excuse.
Yep, you’re right. Code of a Scientologist applied too would have seen the exits jammed packed too.
Silliness is just in our nature I suppose. Then again, I’ve never had anyone say to me, “see, I told you so.”
Wonder why that is?
Manipulate another clam into ‘disconnection’ and then you are coerced into disconnection yourself. How Zen like. Would the reborn Buddha approve? Oh, wait, Lron was the reborn Buddha. I guess the ‘rules’ don’t apply when you are the deity….
I’ve been reading on that site milestone 2.And that remoteviewed is the biggest moron I’ve every seen .Has anbody else read any of her idiotic shit? She made a comment about they will be doing something straight to the inplant station. They as in us wogs .I can’t stop reading that dribble. My god I didn’t realize there were people this dumb.
Remoteviewed (Robin) used to post here all the time and is into conspiracy theory. Remoteviewed is a man. He used to be fun but left us here, for M2 apparently. I checked M2 once, reading about it here and found an old acquaintance there, including remoteviewed. Don’t waste your time if you think it’s dribble.They are serious and mean what they say.
Thank you Brian. RV (Robin) and his wife are old friends of mine. Someday they’ll come around but meanwhile neither one is hurting anyone and we all have a right to our opinion even if miss lead. I went crazy in the cult but when I was coming out of it ~ my friends were right there and loved me just the same. I think mostly they put up with me for now. Maybe in a few more years I’ll be ‘normal’ 🙂 They know this.
Hi Cece,I really liked this post.You are a beautiful spirit and I am so happy you had friends there for you,when coming out of the cult.I won’t be normal anytime soon either,but at least now I can dress up ang go out.Before I hid in my cave many years! XO Always,Ann.
Hate to ask… but, why can’t you stop reading that drivel?
I got a neighbour who I’ve only spoken to a couple of times, both of those times he was lucky not to require medical assistance within minutes of the drivel that oozed forth from him. But I now see that’s just the way that guy is, he’s harmless but has the weirdest ideas and truly believes he’s doing a other people a favour by telling them (over and over). Had a quiet chat to him and told him I’ll leave you alone if you leave me alone, I’m not quite right in the head so don’t stir me up – OK?
Been right as rain ever since.
Milestone 2 is what it is… geezers, there’s worse out there. The ones that won’t communicate. Scientology and its off shoots are here to stay in the minds of some people, no matter how weird but as Mike says, as an organisation they are a toothless tiger now. Milestone 2 is harmless, they will self implode in time but pose no threat. Enjoy the comedy.
You know who they are? They’re the People’s Front of Judea and the Judean People’s Front from Life Of Brian. They’re pathetic, but they’re still on my hit list for their KSW adherence.
Yeah, I know who they are, knew a few of ’em by first name once.
Not all that long ago I drove past a camping site on the banks of river and nearly skidded off the bridge as I slammed the brakes on so hard while straining to look.
I couldn’t believe what I saw – it was a swastika on a banner with a message of National Front or some such under it. Geezers… KSW adherence with a dead organisation is a breath of fresh air to tolerate compared to those fanatics. That’s in Australia too!
Everyone to their own, but harmless splinter groups of scientologists are more or less free to do as they wish in the democracy I vote for, not some groups like those above, they are on my hit list.
Yeah, I’d say live and let live, but there’s this whole eliminate 1.1s quietly and without sorrow thing that I can’t seem to get past. If they believe in KSW, they believe in that, and that means kill or be killed in my mind.
Hey, I don’t have problem with the way you think, it’s in your head, not mine.
I guess I was lucky I suppose, the whole concept of both opposing and unwavering loyalty to scientology just suddenly left me a few years ago and what people think about it is totally up to them.
I get a little pissy at the abuses and outright silliness concerning the subject and the nasty people who run it but I’m that way about taxes, politicians and bad booze too.
I will use anything that works, be it bits of scientology, Christian, whatever or plain old making up stuff as I go along, it’s all fine with me.
I just hope you can reconcile your own thoughts and desires concerning scientology, it’s not worth being too troubled by it.
Quite correct Espi. If a group, through their platform, policies or philosophy marks you for termination, it is ethical to attack and eliminate them before they do it to you.
The Jews in the first half of the 20th century learned the hard lesson of inaction until it was too late.
My computer is an open combatant at times and at others a reminder of the wonders of technology. In there somewhere is tomorrow’s scenarios and I don’t even have to leave the house – just wait… WOW!
We all too often lose sight of why we stand fast on Remembrance Day. Let people be, until you really need to respond.
That’s good! Like the Australian joke about the New Zealanders, would the last one out please turn off the lights.
(a lot of Kiwis come to Australia for money making opportunities, make some dough & send it home but then get homesick and leave. An explanation for you northern hemisphere minded people – there’s some pleasant, good natured rivalry between Aust & NZ (except in the rugby – that is serious!) but the NZ economy is pretty tight and hard to negotiate).
Three weeks later…HILARIOUS!!! It’s the Purge Trials of Stalinist Russia taking place in the CoS. They were always taking place but when the enforcers started becoming the victims of what they were enforcing on others, that’s when things got interesting. The trials were staged, the charges false and guilty verdict predetermined. Theories abound why stuff like this has happened throughout history but I think it has something to do with the arrogance of shoddy people thinking they can save a shoddy mankind.
Ah yes – the old “Code of Honour” line. Such lofty statements, so woefully lacking in the “ethics” of the cult. I’m surprised DM hasn’t had it re-written to read “Be true to Me, never desert me; I need all the praise, approval and sympathy I can get. If all else fails, harass it to death or beat it up”.
If everyone currently in the czerch actually followed the Code of Honour, there would no longer be such an organization. The group has completely corrupted the words. And I truly wonder where/who Hubbard copied it from. He apparently never practiced it himself.
He never practised it and he never overcame his own flows with his tech. He tried to win over his demons but they got him that is why he was in such a pitiful state at the end of his life. He never made it to OT8 and he put the baby in Mayo’s hands. No one ever got to be exterior and causing things at will in the physical universe. His whole system is based on suggestion and indoctrination. The code of honour or writings like “Greatness” show what he was not. He was the opposite, but he failed to handle his own case.
Believe it or not I know people who have this Code of Honor at home and use it to “handle the org terminals.” They admit that they feel like they get pushed around and walked all over on, and this is hard to deal with. The Code of Honor helps them to grow a backbone. I have heard Scientologists say to each other “The code of honor…” quite often.
If the church wishes to declare someone, there is nothing the person can say, there is no policy they can present, no LRH they can quote, that can stop that from occurring.
I was declared without prior ethics gradients, without evidence, and had a stack of references to support my position. None of it mattered.
I have come to believe OSA maintains a list of Scnists who they consider to be security risks. They do a threat assessment. If the individual passes a threshold, they are investigated. They are threatened, overtly and covertly. A rumor campaign is started. “Friends” stop returning your call, all the while they are busy writing their reports on you.
Then one day you will be called before a Comm Ev (or not), and be presented with a list of charges and their supporting “evidence”. Realize this is simply a formality. Something for the Declare CSW they will be putting together for IJC (they may have already started it). If you resist or object to the kangaroo court, they will use that as evidence that you are not responding to standard ethics.
In the end you will be found guilty of unimaginable crimes, you will be a pervert, you will be a criminal, you will be a squirrel.
You will be declared.
You may cave-in. Eventually you cave-out and realize you are out.
“I have come to believe OSA maintains a list of Scnists who they consider to be security risks.”
I believe all Scientologists are on that list! Some have given up and are toast (Heber, Shelly, it’s a long list) and the others await their demise. Tick tock……………….
I believe they keep lists too. I had someone call me from “Central File” about five years ago and ask for a lot of personal information, like my social security number and where was I born. I told the woman that I don’t give out that information. She was being very polite about it but still, I knew it wasn’t right.
My first time at Flag, I happened to walk in on a security guard going through my personal effects in the medicine cabinet of my hotel bathroom. I suspect he was looking for prescription drugs or similar. I don’t use drugs and never have. I believe he was ordered to do that or possibly did it on his own, snooping on people.
The CoS, Flag, OSA whatever, doesn’t trust the public and is generally suspicious. They have too many skeletons in their closet and think that everyone else does too.
Rifling through your stuff at Flag – could have been looking for scented products too, they are fanatical about that at flag and the fleecewinds. Horrible to think that they have no conscience about invading your privacy. When ever I wrote to a friend of mine studying at flag the letters were always opened before they were given to them just like in a prison.
Hi Gimpy, I experienced some of what you posted over the years.While I never boarded the Apollo,I wrote letters to Sea Org there.Mary Sue’s handwritten letters to me had obviously been opened.Sneaky! Always, Ann.
Not quite, Sony. You have to realize the church’s business model has changed. It used to be service-based, but has transitioned to straight donations. Many long-time Scnists recognized this and did not agree. Some were vocal, many were not. But they were branded dissidents and were seen as a threat to the church’s new direction.
Friends of Scnists are far more influential than the church itself. So, if a friend expresses disagreement about regging for donations for Ideal Orgs, that its off-policy, etc, this has much more impact and is seen as a threat to the current regime.
Their solution is to remove this individual from the group, invent a bunch of crimes they committed and thoroughly discredit them. This, they feel, will maintain the status quo and keep their criminal enterprise going.
1)You are either ON THE BUS or OFF THE BUSS. Occasionally you may find someone hanging out of a window (possibly screaming).
2) Anyone off the bus or found hanging should be put under the bus.
There is also an unwritten 3rd rule which is ‘Never take your foot off the accelerator’, especially if someone is hanging out the window! (and ignore all screaming)
Statpush you really nailed the whole sequence of events and how it goes down. Only in my case they didn’t even call me in for the kangaroo court. They just declared me without a court. And of course they did the whispering campaign and one of the things they said was that I refused to come in. I was never asked or told to come in. Baah! But I am glad I’m out. I hope to free some good people who are still in there.
Thank you Statpush for your essay.
The church is designed to trap and keep you trapped until it is determined that a PR breach threshold has been breached, and presto, you are out. You have this nicely illustrated, again.
From the point of view of the church, it is all about the almighty PR front. The better that is working for them, the sooner they can toss you out if they “feel” you have become a liability to that PR game in some way, in any way, a contingency LRH had already very well predicted. First things first, he invalidates your point of view, making any reason to throw you into Ethics valid and requiring no justification. A supervisor is never “wrong” for declaring you in a Danger Condition, for instance. Trap and keep trapped, again, is the name of the game.
The weakness in that plan is in setting people outside the bubble without convincing them that the problem was themselves and not the church, contrary to the forceful attempt to do that, the very thing. The bigger the expelled dog, the bigger the problem for the church.
Which brings me to my praise for everyone here, and those that do so much to make us heard out here as we work to mix in with the general population, Mike, thanks, your courage and determination does not go unnoticed.
[SpokesSpeak]But .. Disconnection doesn’t exist, and if it did, it would be a personal choice, not something ordered by the Church of Scientology…[/SpokesSpeak]
Well isn’t that ironic. The Code of Honor is why I refused NOT to be pushed around by the off-policy SO pukes in the church and why I refused to comply with the squirrel crap going on in the course room. I left at about warp 6 and took my intact integrity with me.
Thumbs up! Another thought – how does one audit someone to greater integrity as a being, while asking them to give up their integrity? That’s one conundrum that got me thinking years ago…
Flyfly, love that name. Pity that series was abolished.
Gee whiz… what do you say to never having experienced some “good” auditing?
Broke my heart to FES folders that were nothing more than pages upon pages of sec checks and other invalidative/evaluative bullshit. I use to do end ruds on SO members occasionally and often use to whip out a correction list at the first bad indicator (and they weren’t hard to find in the first minute or so). The session mostly went for over a hour or more after that. To some of them that’s the first time they’re had an auditor actually interested in them, yet they have been in the Cof$ for years. As I said it broke my heart, such suppressive use of the technology.
I’m not advocating the good or bad of the tech but just the insanity of its application by the church.
Hate is an emotion I don’t feel very often, but the Cof$ finds a way of bringing it out in me.
THAT was the “smoke and mirrors” “show on the road” version of Scientology’s Code of Honor.
Here is the real version working behind the curtain based on actual results:
1. Anything good that happens to you is because of Scientology. Write up your success story and make sure it is BPI.
2. Anything bad that happens to you or anyone you know or see or hear about is your fault and you pulled it in. Get your check book out and pay Scientology for that.

4. NEVER help anyone. EVER. Well, except a “new” Scientologist during the “love-bombing” stage until they “trust”. Then – fuck em.
5. Never question anything ever at any time period or else your eternity is at stake.
6. Give until it hurts and then give some more then get others to give until it hurts and then annihilate them utterly.
7. Encourage yourself and others to go completely into debt for every Reg cycle…so as to lose you power as a thetan.
8. Sue, harass, stalk, kill and maim anyone who criticizes or questions COB or the Church of Scientology.
9. You will never be enough, give enough or do enough for Scientology. You are nothing so get used to it DB!
10. NEVER apologize or make up the damage when you hurt someone else and always use “the greater good for the greater number of dynamics”..excuse when you do. This creates confusion and people are easily manipulated when they are in confusion and hurting. It helps maximize profits and minimize damages.
Remember – the TECH works when standardly applied.

Oh RB! You’re a bit of a worry… you’ve got the Cof$ pegged so well.
I think of the Cof$ like the flu. It’s a virus that needs the most careful change of lifestyle to eliminate.
I hope you are inoculated well my friend. I do enjoy your work.
For me, this is the best RB so far. The use of LRH’s Code of Honor to support decisions made by those who are in, is brilliant. Hats off.

Code of Honor # 20
When in Doubt build your own Prison ( The Hole) and throw all your Top Exec’s in it !!!
This is true
Amazing. That is so amazing it makes me laugh. When in doubt throw an ESTO through a 2nd floor plate glass window. It isn’t always correct, but it’s always safe if your name is David Miscavige. My sides are spliting from laughing. 🙂 David Miscavige reminds me of the Red Queen in Alice In Wonderland whose head was twice the size of her body. 🙂
Mike, am I not allowed to post anymore? Did I do something wrong?
Never compromise your own reality… Well that explains a lot about DM, it’s his reality see???!!!
observed
“Is there anyone out there?” dm asks himself every day, sometimes desperately. Momentarily someone falls into place, like Mike did once, then Tommy & now Karen (disappeared herself) but overall agreement is a word miscavige knows from only one perspective. Unless outside influences align perfectly with his “think” there is no one there, not really.
Money on the other hand, isn’t everything it is cracked up to be for him either, that’s why he needs a constant flow, it would be impossible to satisfy him in that regard, money is only an instrument which he plays, albeit a terrible and destructive tune.
There is no salvaging, saving or turning around a being like – only elimination, in any of its forms.
Got the upside-down cross on the “chaplain”, RB, very good! I’ve always liked the Code of Honour, but it’s another case of “do as I say, not as I do”. I wonder what Mary Sue would say about Ron’s application of it towards her. It’s easy to write loftily, it’s another thing to actually live what one preaches, for any of us.
I AGREE.
: )
While the inverted cross is commonly held to be a Satanist symbol it also represents the pope. St. Peter, the first pope, was crucified upside down and the inverted cross has been incorporated into the papal throne.
Yes, historically the Petrine Cross, but somehow I don’t think that was RB’s intention. Most people today know it or use it as a satanist symbol. Since Ron allegedly considered himself to be “Satan” in terms of being the “light bringer” (pretty sure that’s a distorted use of the term from the Old Testament), I would say the latter meaning is more appropriate.
Speaking of cultish behavior has anyone else seen the movie Shock Treatment?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_Treatment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuNRopIJRgo
I still have it on VHS.
The cycle of life of the MAA begins at “BLAH BLAH” grows up into “BAA BAA” and “WAH WAAH” and finally “WAAAH WAAAAH”.
LOL – Wendy – that was funny!! 🙂
I wish RG would compile these into a book, maybe even interspersed with brief first-person accounts of people who have lived through these situations. That would be a big piece of sand in Miscarriage’s eye.
Great idea.
I am sure RG would be happy for anyone to do so and would give any needed permission. RG does a lot of work putting them together. Why don’t you compile them into a book to save him the work?
They are all easy to find here….
Oh yea! I would even help design the cover. I would have a road winding through a pretty counrtyside with the sun in the background. I think a good title for the book would be WTH??? I would even volunteer to hand them out to the hundreds of people who visit the Ideal Orgs on a daily basis.
well, RB, I am afraid you would not have anyone to give them to. They are empty! LOL
Be about as popular as those Gahan Wilson cartoons, calendars, etc.
Re: COH point “7. Never permit your affinity to be be alloyed. ” Alloyed with what? Gold? Silver? Titanium? ?
Where DID Mr. Hubbard come up with these gems? Truly, the florid phrases which burbled forth freely (wait, poor choice of words: they definitely were not free to anyone else!) from his subconscious seem tinged with 50 shades of Malignant Narcissism and a touch of Borderline Personality Disorder, perhaps.
I guess it would have been way too transparent to just say “Always be loyal.”
Alloyed with osmium. It’s incredibly dense and stinks, just like most Sea Org.
I had the same question once, then I word cleared it. (It makes more sense than “Always be loyal.”)
i am hypnotized by your florid phrases…
What wall?
He left out #16.

Hi Newcomer,Your post is a gem!Thank you.Ann.
Where DID Mr. Hubbard come up with these gems? I’ll tell you, but don’t laugh.
Oh, go ahead.
The Knights of the Round Table. No, really. The code of chivalry. My recall of my source for this is a little vague right now. Either I read a Messenger’s story, wherein the Old Man spun adventures as a knight in the days of yore, or I got it second hand.
Sure got our attention though, didn’t it?
So did things like drugs, alcohol, sex, rock & roll, the blues, money acquisition, careers etc. & etc.
Like is like a farm, every now and again you step in the pooh. Nice looking cows though!
“Life is like a farm…” – geezers, put me foot in that one! Damn typos!
Hi civmar, Good AM here,hope you are doing well.I read your post and I seem to have a misty memory of Ron and a quest regarding a knight,boy have no idea when or where I read/heard that.As you know,quite a few Messenger Org members would come to Asho,and some were very personable and hung out with Asho F at muster etc.I may have gotten it second hand too,although I had a notebook I had made where I filed all of Ron’s quotes and stories that were not green or red on white.Might have been in there.Always love to you.Ann.
Hi Mike, I read the Code of Honor over quite a few times.Did the Sea Org ever flunk whole parts of that and then some! Amazing,the way I see it now.Love,Ann.
Ann, interesting point. It was the sea org that didn’t apply the CoH for themselves, and refused anyone else from using it. It is self destructive.
Overts lead to more overts. (And Karma is a bitch in heat, so, even after they get out, they still have to deal with it.)
Hi 1984, True what you posted.Things do appear to boomerang back on people and situations years and years later.For bad or good.Ann.
Overall, when you think about it, life sparingly allows much of a successful second chance. The younger you are more opportunities are available but something like scientology indents itself upon you. Sites like this show that you are not alone and that is a good thing. Getting stuff of your chest or a good laugh like RB supplies are wonderful. As Mike says and named this blog, “Something Can Be Done about It” and indeed it can, we are the people that count, active members of scientology haven’t earned that distinction yet.
Experience is an interesting bedfellow.
RB,
This week’s cartoon packs a punch with only three sections (not counting the C of H). It shows the cruel cannibalization going on in this sick group of people. In the end they will implode and eat themselves alive.
I am not aware of any religion other than the Amish that forces disconnection. The Amish, like Scientology, are not a growing community. You would think that Scientology and the Amish would figure out that disconnection/shunning is not working.
There’s one difference: the Amish have a tendency to breed, which replenishes their numbers. The cire believers in Scientology are not allowed to do that.
Wonder what the Amish’s stance on masturbation is?
I’ve known a few Amish in my time, and funny enough, that subject hasn’t come up in conversation.
Others that do it are: Jehovahs Witnesses, FLDS, Bahaii, Chassidic sects and(some) UltraOrthodox communities.
Catholics used to (to a person was excommunicated) but stopped the practice… sometime recently too. When I was a kid (I was raised catholic) we were instructed to cease all communication with my cousin who was excommunicated. Instead, my grandma switched churches, as she was never cutting off contact with her eldest grandchild.
I saw a big documentary about the Amish on TV. It’s easier to get back into the fold with the Amish than it is with our church.
I think shunning/disconnection is also practiced by the Jehovah’s witness, the Bahá’í faith, and some ultra-Orthodox Jews. I would not be surprised if it is practiced in Islam especially in more conservative circles. Scientology uses every religious manipulation trick in the book, including preventing people from forming their own thoughts/coming to their own conclusions.
It would seem that some Islam bypasses shunning/disconnection and goes straight to execution.
Well, Apostasy in Islam basically says there is no leaving Islam. You can convert TO Islam, you cannot convert FROM Islam. In many places, that is a death sentence but in others, it would be a long prison sentence.
So I doubt there is any shunning/disconnection in Islam at all.
GTsix provides great examples. Also I have one new group to research thanks to your list, TY and /waves hi.
Some chemical reactions are like that. Like people adding coke to good whisky. There ain’t no turning back. There’s no accounting for people’s taste.
Leaving the mob – good luck with that Goodfella.
The Amish, JW’s etc. may shun you but they don’t generally have PI’s follow you around if you make public statements they don’t like. What makes the Co$ a menace is their systematic approach to the oppression of dissent. I can imagine the evil dwarf ordering hits on people if he really thought he could get away with it.
That’s because they’re not nearly criminal minded enough like scientology is.
typical Hubbard doublespeak
Number of times over…
I love the wilted plants. Normally plants do OK around the org as long as they are watered. Even when we all smoked 24/7 in the org the plants did OK. What can not live around the org and gets suffocated is compassion and love. Management would come in and squish the crew one by one. Then after years of that the crew did it to each other. As for us doing it to ourselves well… I’m sure that was going on as well. The hard part was attempting to see or ascertain what exactly was wrong while being there. I got kicked out. I didn’t figure it out until about 15 years later even after seeing many incidents which had nothing to do with clearing the planet. Just like police and security forces attract some guys that like to push people around, these types seem to have elevated to the management structure of scientology. I don’t want to get into a name game but I did notice the persons like that didn’t last very long. I assumed they would all go away but DM stayed and stays and is surrounded by like kind. I suspect the rest of the crew are in fear, think they have caused all the trouble and are actually under great suppression. Of course they disconnect from their loved ones in an attempt to correct it. I wish I could whisper in their ears ‘Yes, the suppression is near, it’s so near you can’t see it.’ One has to put his bias aside to see it. Each time I did the Doubt condition in an attempt to remain in the group in good standing, I did not understand the meaning of ‘bias’. Of course crew are bias. They’ve been indoctrinated. Well it can’t possibly go on for much longer now. Tomorrow I and my guy are visiting LRH Blvd with our new T-shirts on 🙂
I’m thinking of sending him into ASHO backlines with his pocket camera on just to get some pictures for Ann and maybe interview the Letter Reg.
Hi Cece,Oh yes please,that would be creepy and hysterical all rolled into one! Although there are probably cameras watching cameras now in all cos property.David Miscavige must be obeyed.I can picture your T-shirts too,brilliant!Always Love,Ann.
I figured you’d like that Ann. He is all for it and we are stopping by Brownstones to get a pocket camera as they are probably on to cell phones sticking out. I’ll let you know were he posts the results 🙂
PS Neither he nor I care if we are recognized or caught on camera. We have nothing to hide. He is a ‘never in’ and my PC folders of 35 years of spiritual enlightenment have all been displayed to my x and children a few years ago.
Hi Cece, I have both your backs,not that you need me.However I will tag along if you will allow.With much pure love,Ann.
Great post cece! 😉
Thanks 🙂

time do you have a chance.
this is true
Nothing wrong with the Code of Honor. Had I actually applied it when I should have, I would have been out of that implant station 10 years sooner.
Maurice, good point. Actually, if a lot more people would have applied it, the church would not have been aloud to spin off of it’s path.
Yep, you’re right. Code of a Scientologist applied too would have seen the exits jammed packed too.
Silliness is just in our nature I suppose. Then again, I’ve never had anyone say to me, “see, I told you so.”
Wonder why that is?
Manipulate another clam into ‘disconnection’ and then you are coerced into disconnection yourself. How Zen like. Would the reborn Buddha approve? Oh, wait, Lron was the reborn Buddha. I guess the ‘rules’ don’t apply when you are the deity….
I’ve been reading on that site milestone 2.And that remoteviewed is the biggest moron I’ve every seen .Has anbody else read any of her idiotic shit? She made a comment about they will be doing something straight to the inplant station. They as in us wogs .I can’t stop reading that dribble. My god I didn’t realize there were people this dumb.
Robin “Remoteviewed” Adair is a man, baby! Hey, it’s hard to tell sometimes,.
Must be his long hair. :-)))
Remote Viewed is Robin. He and Mike have gone back and forth on it and Mike and others call him by his real name.
Remoteviewed (Robin) used to post here all the time and is into conspiracy theory. Remoteviewed is a man. He used to be fun but left us here, for M2 apparently. I checked M2 once, reading about it here and found an old acquaintance there, including remoteviewed. Don’t waste your time if you think it’s dribble.They are serious and mean what they say.
Gary, they are not dumb. They have been hypnotized by Ron’s Altitude Instruction per his writing of same title. Just like we were.
I want to thank everyone who answered me .So thanks.
Thank you Brian. RV (Robin) and his wife are old friends of mine. Someday they’ll come around but meanwhile neither one is hurting anyone and we all have a right to our opinion even if miss lead. I went crazy in the cult but when I was coming out of it ~ my friends were right there and loved me just the same. I think mostly they put up with me for now. Maybe in a few more years I’ll be ‘normal’ 🙂 They know this.
Hi Cece,I really liked this post.You are a beautiful spirit and I am so happy you had friends there for you,when coming out of the cult.I won’t be normal anytime soon either,but at least now I can dress up ang go out.Before I hid in my cave many years! XO Always,Ann.
Hate to ask… but, why can’t you stop reading that drivel?
I got a neighbour who I’ve only spoken to a couple of times, both of those times he was lucky not to require medical assistance within minutes of the drivel that oozed forth from him. But I now see that’s just the way that guy is, he’s harmless but has the weirdest ideas and truly believes he’s doing a other people a favour by telling them (over and over). Had a quiet chat to him and told him I’ll leave you alone if you leave me alone, I’m not quite right in the head so don’t stir me up – OK?
Been right as rain ever since.
Milestone 2 is what it is… geezers, there’s worse out there. The ones that won’t communicate. Scientology and its off shoots are here to stay in the minds of some people, no matter how weird but as Mike says, as an organisation they are a toothless tiger now. Milestone 2 is harmless, they will self implode in time but pose no threat. Enjoy the comedy.
You know who they are? They’re the People’s Front of Judea and the Judean People’s Front from Life Of Brian. They’re pathetic, but they’re still on my hit list for their KSW adherence.
Yeah, I know who they are, knew a few of ’em by first name once.
Not all that long ago I drove past a camping site on the banks of river and nearly skidded off the bridge as I slammed the brakes on so hard while straining to look.
I couldn’t believe what I saw – it was a swastika on a banner with a message of National Front or some such under it. Geezers… KSW adherence with a dead organisation is a breath of fresh air to tolerate compared to those fanatics. That’s in Australia too!
Everyone to their own, but harmless splinter groups of scientologists are more or less free to do as they wish in the democracy I vote for, not some groups like those above, they are on my hit list.
Yeah, I’d say live and let live, but there’s this whole eliminate 1.1s quietly and without sorrow thing that I can’t seem to get past. If they believe in KSW, they believe in that, and that means kill or be killed in my mind.
Hey, I don’t have problem with the way you think, it’s in your head, not mine.
I guess I was lucky I suppose, the whole concept of both opposing and unwavering loyalty to scientology just suddenly left me a few years ago and what people think about it is totally up to them.
I get a little pissy at the abuses and outright silliness concerning the subject and the nasty people who run it but I’m that way about taxes, politicians and bad booze too.
I will use anything that works, be it bits of scientology, Christian, whatever or plain old making up stuff as I go along, it’s all fine with me.
I just hope you can reconcile your own thoughts and desires concerning scientology, it’s not worth being too troubled by it.
Quite correct Espi. If a group, through their platform, policies or philosophy marks you for termination, it is ethical to attack and eliminate them before they do it to you.
The Jews in the first half of the 20th century learned the hard lesson of inaction until it was too late.
Thanks I yawnalot .I’ll do just that. By the way I did mean drivel but my auto correct doesn’t like me.
My computer is an open combatant at times and at others a reminder of the wonders of technology. In there somewhere is tomorrow’s scenarios and I don’t even have to leave the house – just wait… WOW!
We all too often lose sight of why we stand fast on Remembrance Day. Let people be, until you really need to respond.
Will the last scientologist have to declare themselves?
That’s funny! : )
They should do some solo declare. Everybody ought to be declared once. I have never seen my declare. But all my friends disconnected from me!
That’s good! Like the Australian joke about the New Zealanders, would the last one out please turn off the lights.
(a lot of Kiwis come to Australia for money making opportunities, make some dough & send it home but then get homesick and leave. An explanation for you northern hemisphere minded people – there’s some pleasant, good natured rivalry between Aust & NZ (except in the rugby – that is serious!) but the NZ economy is pretty tight and hard to negotiate).
Three weeks later…HILARIOUS!!! It’s the Purge Trials of Stalinist Russia taking place in the CoS. They were always taking place but when the enforcers started becoming the victims of what they were enforcing on others, that’s when things got interesting. The trials were staged, the charges false and guilty verdict predetermined. Theories abound why stuff like this has happened throughout history but I think it has something to do with the arrogance of shoddy people thinking they can save a shoddy mankind.
If LRH had followed it, rather than commit felonies and squash human rights, the Church as it is today, wouldn’t even exist…
Ah yes – the old “Code of Honour” line. Such lofty statements, so woefully lacking in the “ethics” of the cult. I’m surprised DM hasn’t had it re-written to read “Be true to Me, never desert me; I need all the praise, approval and sympathy I can get. If all else fails, harass it to death or beat it up”.
RB – LOVE the dead plants on the desk. Brilliant!
Thanks, Alice! I had to go back to see the dead plants. Nice touch, RB…
If everyone currently in the czerch actually followed the Code of Honour, there would no longer be such an organization. The group has completely corrupted the words. And I truly wonder where/who Hubbard copied it from. He apparently never practiced it himself.
True dat.
He never practised it and he never overcame his own flows with his tech. He tried to win over his demons but they got him that is why he was in such a pitiful state at the end of his life. He never made it to OT8 and he put the baby in Mayo’s hands. No one ever got to be exterior and causing things at will in the physical universe. His whole system is based on suggestion and indoctrination. The code of honour or writings like “Greatness” show what he was not. He was the opposite, but he failed to handle his own case.
Believe it or not I know people who have this Code of Honor at home and use it to “handle the org terminals.” They admit that they feel like they get pushed around and walked all over on, and this is hard to deal with. The Code of Honor helps them to grow a backbone. I have heard Scientologists say to each other “The code of honor…” quite often.
If the church wishes to declare someone, there is nothing the person can say, there is no policy they can present, no LRH they can quote, that can stop that from occurring.
I was declared without prior ethics gradients, without evidence, and had a stack of references to support my position. None of it mattered.
I have come to believe OSA maintains a list of Scnists who they consider to be security risks. They do a threat assessment. If the individual passes a threshold, they are investigated. They are threatened, overtly and covertly. A rumor campaign is started. “Friends” stop returning your call, all the while they are busy writing their reports on you.
Then one day you will be called before a Comm Ev (or not), and be presented with a list of charges and their supporting “evidence”. Realize this is simply a formality. Something for the Declare CSW they will be putting together for IJC (they may have already started it). If you resist or object to the kangaroo court, they will use that as evidence that you are not responding to standard ethics.
In the end you will be found guilty of unimaginable crimes, you will be a pervert, you will be a criminal, you will be a squirrel.
You will be declared.
You may cave-in. Eventually you cave-out and realize you are out.
You will be free.
+100 Statpush!
“I have come to believe OSA maintains a list of Scnists who they consider to be security risks.”
I believe all Scientologists are on that list! Some have given up and are toast (Heber, Shelly, it’s a long list) and the others await their demise. Tick tock……………….
Hi Newcomer,Thank you for your post.Very true to me.Ann
I believe they keep lists too. I had someone call me from “Central File” about five years ago and ask for a lot of personal information, like my social security number and where was I born. I told the woman that I don’t give out that information. She was being very polite about it but still, I knew it wasn’t right.
My first time at Flag, I happened to walk in on a security guard going through my personal effects in the medicine cabinet of my hotel bathroom. I suspect he was looking for prescription drugs or similar. I don’t use drugs and never have. I believe he was ordered to do that or possibly did it on his own, snooping on people.
The CoS, Flag, OSA whatever, doesn’t trust the public and is generally suspicious. They have too many skeletons in their closet and think that everyone else does too.
Rifling through your stuff at Flag – could have been looking for scented products too, they are fanatical about that at flag and the fleecewinds. Horrible to think that they have no conscience about invading your privacy. When ever I wrote to a friend of mine studying at flag the letters were always opened before they were given to them just like in a prison.
Hi Gimpy, I experienced some of what you posted over the years.While I never boarded the Apollo,I wrote letters to Sea Org there.Mary Sue’s handwritten letters to me had obviously been opened.Sneaky! Always, Ann.
Scientologists live in fear… just like a corrupt prison guard.
Why do they do that? Doesn’t it hurt their business model? It’s not like that many new people are joining.
How frequently does cob or OSA choose to get rid of custom and cheap labour?
Not quite, Sony. You have to realize the church’s business model has changed. It used to be service-based, but has transitioned to straight donations. Many long-time Scnists recognized this and did not agree. Some were vocal, many were not. But they were branded dissidents and were seen as a threat to the church’s new direction.
Friends of Scnists are far more influential than the church itself. So, if a friend expresses disagreement about regging for donations for Ideal Orgs, that its off-policy, etc, this has much more impact and is seen as a threat to the current regime.
Their solution is to remove this individual from the group, invent a bunch of crimes they committed and thoroughly discredit them. This, they feel, will maintain the status quo and keep their criminal enterprise going.
The Cult business model is pretty simple Sony:
1)You are either ON THE BUS or OFF THE BUSS. Occasionally you may find someone hanging out of a window (possibly screaming).
2) Anyone off the bus or found hanging should be put under the bus.
There is also an unwritten 3rd rule which is ‘Never take your foot off the accelerator’, especially if someone is hanging out the window! (and ignore all screaming)
And the licence to drive such a vehicle… how do you get one of those?
Hi statpush, This post is a print and keep for me.Thank you from my heart,Ann.
Thanks Ann 🙂
Statpush you really nailed the whole sequence of events and how it goes down. Only in my case they didn’t even call me in for the kangaroo court. They just declared me without a court. And of course they did the whispering campaign and one of the things they said was that I refused to come in. I was never asked or told to come in. Baah! But I am glad I’m out. I hope to free some good people who are still in there.
Thank you Statpush for your essay.
The church is designed to trap and keep you trapped until it is determined that a PR breach threshold has been breached, and presto, you are out. You have this nicely illustrated, again.
From the point of view of the church, it is all about the almighty PR front. The better that is working for them, the sooner they can toss you out if they “feel” you have become a liability to that PR game in some way, in any way, a contingency LRH had already very well predicted. First things first, he invalidates your point of view, making any reason to throw you into Ethics valid and requiring no justification. A supervisor is never “wrong” for declaring you in a Danger Condition, for instance. Trap and keep trapped, again, is the name of the game.
The weakness in that plan is in setting people outside the bubble without convincing them that the problem was themselves and not the church, contrary to the forceful attempt to do that, the very thing. The bigger the expelled dog, the bigger the problem for the church.
Which brings me to my praise for everyone here, and those that do so much to make us heard out here as we work to mix in with the general population, Mike, thanks, your courage and determination does not go unnoticed.
That scn “Ethics Formula”, and the so-called Conditions of Existence,
that is the structure of this rigged game.
[SpokesSpeak]But .. Disconnection doesn’t exist, and if it did, it would be a personal choice, not something ordered by the Church of Scientology…[/SpokesSpeak]
Scientology Spokeswoman Who Disconnected From Her Father Criticizes Scientology Victim Who Didn’t January 19, 2012, Tony Ortega, Runnin’ Scared, Village Voice
Scientology sock Twitter acct “James Cleary” said “disconnection is a good policy”.
It also claimed there was no such thing as “fair game” and Scientology is a “humanitarian organization” that helps people “get better”.
I love it when they drivel.
Well isn’t that ironic. The Code of Honor is why I refused NOT to be pushed around by the off-policy SO pukes in the church and why I refused to comply with the squirrel crap going on in the course room. I left at about warp 6 and took my intact integrity with me.
Thumbs up! Another thought – how does one audit someone to greater integrity as a being, while asking them to give up their integrity? That’s one conundrum that got me thinking years ago…
Is there auditing anymore? I only experienced sec checking. That’s why I got the fuck away from the maniacs.
Hi GTBO, At the end of my Sea Org time,please let me add,me too! Really liked your post.Always,Ann.
Is there a difference? Anything can and will be used against you. See the cult business model above regarding THE BUS and your relationship to it.
Corollary:
If you find yourself looking at the exhaust system it is OK to let go.
If you find yourself looking at the exhaust system it is OK to let go.
Happiness is……Scientology in my rear view mirror.
That’s easy Rufus just say I’m not auditing you at the beginning of session!
Good example.
Flyfly, love that name. Pity that series was abolished.
Gee whiz… what do you say to never having experienced some “good” auditing?
Broke my heart to FES folders that were nothing more than pages upon pages of sec checks and other invalidative/evaluative bullshit. I use to do end ruds on SO members occasionally and often use to whip out a correction list at the first bad indicator (and they weren’t hard to find in the first minute or so). The session mostly went for over a hour or more after that. To some of them that’s the first time they’re had an auditor actually interested in them, yet they have been in the Cof$ for years. As I said it broke my heart, such suppressive use of the technology.
I’m not advocating the good or bad of the tech but just the insanity of its application by the church.
Hate is an emotion I don’t feel very often, but the Cof$ finds a way of bringing it out in me.
Firefly, not Flyfly – geezers…
No problem. : ) Yes, I can imagine how you feel. With a social personality running things, everyone might have had better experiences.
