RB MUST be an old SeaOrger as THAT all was true more than 40 years ago. Even with Hana Eltringham “pulling” for me at the time, it was SO tough to get and USE my “personal enhancement time” to get up the Bridge via co-auditing, an arena where I could give as good as I got.
One ‘problem’, a wall one, in today’s RB. scientologists are VERBOTEN from discussing anything like that. ANYone who overheard would KR their butts to whatever task was WORSE than they were doing. They can’t complain, CAN’T “compare notes”
“I wonder if these Sea Orgers in the comic are allowed to have cellphones or even know how to turn them on.”
Even if they WERE “allowed”, they couldn’t AFFORD them, and they’d automatically censor their reading, like good little seals. ANYTHING that MIGHT be ‘entheta’ will be assiduously avoided. GREAT ability to CONFRONT, there.
Further to the “Jane Doe” lawsuit, I just read an article written by Tony Ortega that alleges Jane Doe is Valerie Haney. If that is true, it makes me very happy. Valerie Haney was made to suffer incredibly and few people deserve to be compensated more than she does. I’d love to see her awarded with so much money the scam would have to sell most of its stupid buildings to pay her.
Here is a link for anyone interested in reading about this lawsuit.
IMO, this is one of the most exciting development to come along in years. It may well begin the rapid demise of the scam and the monster might just wind up in the pen where he belongs.

“IMO, this is one of the most exciting development to come along in years. It may well begin the rapid demise of the scam and the monster might just wind up in the pen where he belongs.”
Off Topic but I wanted to ask just how important this “Jane Doe” lawsuit is liable to become.
It seems like some serious lawyers have filed a lawsuit against the scam and the monster who leads it for all manner of things that sound more like crimes than civil wrongs. They include: false imprisonment, kidnapping, stalking, libel, slander, human trafficking, labor violations, and negligence.
In the past, the scam always succeeded in defending themselves of those crimes by claiming they have protection under the Freedom of Religion in the constitution.
I had never considered what might happen if they filed a civil lawsuit and tried to get money for the damages instead. In many ways, I think this scam may be more afraid of having to pay huge damages than they fear going to prison. Why? Because if they ever lose one of these cases, it’s like opening some flood gates and they may have to pay out much or even most of their money.
I’d like to ask Mike if he is planning to discuss this lawsuit and its implications here?

Which I often quote when this topic comes up. Parents, UTR: If the Damnation Navy does not already have your children, you still have time to cut and run. If the Damnation Navy did get your kids, I’m sorry for you, but you need to work towards all coming out of teh clutches of the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology
Peabody said:”There you go folks. Join the Sea Org and save a couple of million dollars by not doing bridge.”
UNLESS you include the lost opportunity cost. If I were to do another 10 years in scientology, I would have to value my time “in” at well over a ‘couple of million dollars’; The companies I worked for sure did when charging for my time on special projects for our deep-pocketed customers. Sadly, I got only a small portion of that, but that’s the way life goes in corporate capitalism. Kept my vices well-finances, though.
It’s just sad that all this is actually what these kids believe, and willingly go along with. Really, teens (if that’s what they are) are supposed to rebel! Question everything. Seek their own identity. Keep their parents constantly wondering just what they are doing and not sleeping until they get home. This is just not natural. I would say that I would love to take them in, but I’m not sure I have any more sleepless nights left in me.
But, if I did I could post this on my door if the cult bothered them (got this in an email: “Don’t piss off old people. The older we get, the less “Life In Prison” is a deterrent.

Thx Mike for the assistance re: my issues with accessing JWsurvey. Here’s the update: The host company temporarily shut them down due to “Malicious Content”. Gee, I wonder who could’ve been behind that? Amazing how much influence a corporate cult with lots of bucks can command. But then, you already knew that. LOL
For anyone who’s up for a giggle, you can read my own personal “apology” to Watchtower, on JWsurvey. LMAO
I have always said, and wondered this while in, that you can tell what Scientology personnel really feel about the tech by how they treat the people that work for them. If it truly had the benefits that they say, then the auditing of staff would be a top priority. What better people to be around than those who have handled things and have reached higher states. All barriers gone… the Org would boom!!! But, alas, that isn’t the case. Sad that they are telling us what they really feel right in front of us.
Exactly. If the technology really DID “make the able more able” then getting their staff all the way up to OTVIII asap would be the best thing to do. The fact that they don’t testifies to the fact that it doesn’t work.
Also, staff should sue for breach of contract since they aren’t getting the training they were promised – but i bet their contracts are written in such a manner that they aren’t actually entitled to any.
Gotta give it to old Blubbard, the evil genius. He brain washed the staff into believing how great mest work was for their spirituality, how else could he get people to build and clean his empire for free for years on end. Genius, pure evil genius.
Well now hold on jest one second here. How can you say he was a pure genius when the benefits he reaped by lying and cheating and deceiving people into doing work only gave him benefits during his present life.
If he was a real genius, wouldn’t he have thought about his many future lifetimes? Surely if he was a real genius he would have known that the monster who took over after he left was so “fucked in the head” that he would lead everything that Hubtard build up right into the ground and right down the crapper.
Don’t you think? If he was a real genius, he would’ve done a good job and treated people fairly so that after he shed that worthless body he was occupying, he would have seen a big wonderful religion that was growing bigger every day and that one day would clear the entire planet and everyone would speak his name with great reverence and affection.
Oh wait …. if he was a real genius he would have known that his stupid tech didn’t really work and unless he cheated everyone and stole their money and ruined their families and their lives, he would have wound up with nothing.
I guess we have to ask the question, is it better to have nothing or to have a reputation as a thoroughly disgusting criminal who wound up in prison and wound up being cursed by all of humanity as one of the most evil, criminal assholes who ever lived? Maybe in his warped mind, he figured a little bit of fame was better than anything else because, after all, Fame is everything! Wasn’t he the one who said that? Lousy criminal bastard!
Heh Heh. I know Ms. P. I was just trying to use sarcasm to be funny. I thought it might have been clear when I used the word “jest” instead of “just”. But I may need to slow down a bit.

Skyler said:”Well now hold on jest one second here. How can you say he was a pure genius when the benefits he reaped by lying and cheating and deceiving people into doing work only gave him benefits during his present life.”
Well, he GOT those present L/T benefits, of course. And it’s likely he didn’t CARE about building something with real lasting effect, as it seems he rarely, if ever, considered the consequences of his actions OR thought beyond that particular mood he was in. He got LOTS of slaves with very little effort. That was sufficient for his limited little mind.

And some of the really lucky few worked for LESS than free: paying for the ‘privilege’.
Since 600 B.C., I estimate that bird-brains like Hubbard occur every 200-300 years. Too bad we got him in the United States after WWII. There are people prone to the Occult in every generation.
We get those bird-brains far more often than that. The fortunate thing is that only one out of about one thousand ever get to be famous. The rest usually get so disgusted with themselves that they suicide.
Had he only done that, it would have been, “Good riddance to some insane rubbish”
Hubbs was smart enough to end off at prenatal (in the womb) memories in DMSMH. Otherwise 1950 Judeo-Christian America would have let the book gather dust on the bookstore shelves. When that flopped he went into the Occult but it didn’t catch on until the Dawning of The Age of Aquarius. There’s always gonna be a niche market for the mystical and the Occult.
George, I respecfully disagree. Maybe before the internet it was possible that before the internet those schemers didn’t get known so they only seemed to come along every 2-300 years, but just in this millenium I can name two besides Hubbard who have harmed thousands if not tens of thousands with schemes scarily similar to Hubbard’s; Keith Raniere (recently found guilty, I hope he gets life); and Warren Jeffs (serving his 20-life but still thought of as the prophet of the FLDS). Who says you can hide behind a religious cloak? Well, actually, if Jeffs hadn’t “married’ those 12 and 14 year olds, he probably would never have been arrested.
If you really want to understand the abuse that goes on in so many cults extant today, read Carolyn Jessop’s “Escape” or bone up on what Raniere did or review how JWs are brainwashing their people. There are a frightening number of cults out there right now run by someone who seems to escape culpability because the people under the thrall of the leader don’t understand they have rights.
Scientology may be one of the richer cults, but Raniere had the backing of lots of rich people, the FLDS have hundreds of millions to pay their lawyers, who knows what funds the JWs have access to.
The more I read about people who have been pulled into or raised in a cult environment, the more I wonder how people manage to avoid being sucked into one cult or another as opposed to why they got sucked into a cult. It seems like there’s a cult on every corner waiting to grab anyone who happens to be susceptible at that moment,.
I also highly recommend reading Deborah Layton’s book, Seductive Poison: A Jonestown Survivor’s Story of Life and Death in the Peoples Temple. It is a first hand account of a young woman joining the cult, how she got sucked in, and what happened afterwards. A quote of hers is “People do not knowingly join cults.”
Probably a relative of Larry Layton’s, from her name. The house my family bought from the Layton’s in the early 70s is now owned by Alice Walker. My room in that house was previously Larry’s.
It’s not just “cults” that harm people. Let’s not forget that some of the most heinous abuses are carried out within mainstream “religions”. To this day. Wars, genocide, terrorism, honour killings, sexual abuse, child rape, genital mutilation, the list goes on and on.
Resisting a small cult with a crackpot leader is one thing. Resisting the millions who push an ancient crackpot doctrine is another thing entirely.

Good luck to all y’all stuck there on the prison planet Teegeeack.

You can’t make this shit up. No seriously, you can’t…
