Scientology ring… forged in the fires of Mount Doom. Better get Frodo and Sam to deal with it, but look out for that creeping, slithering COB, I mean Gollum.
Four grand for a gold ring with no stones, no original craftsmanship, no famous artist’s name behind it? Looks like the first thing that goes when channeling Hubbard is good sense.
$410 for a ring like that? Where? I love rose-gold. And with what kind of diamonds? I’d think they’d have to be pave diamonds, for that price. (Sorry for the off-topic, Mike.)
“âHitler didnât have any trouble with a large section of his population. He just put them all in concentration camps and that was it. And itâs that kind of a game if you want to look at it. Itâs not the game of government and who will we elect and democracy Ăźber alles, or something, itâs not all that kind of a government. Itâs just the kind of a government, well, there they are nicely out of the running, everybody is out of the running, isnât that nice. And things are just barely ticking over, and weâre not going to be troubled by those fellows from the 18th Panzer Division that put up such a hell of a fight on Exnoo.

It gets WORSE the more you learn, otherles. Particularly when you’re not in the bubble and are able to see the absurdities. Every once in a while, I’m like: “Did I really think like THAT!???” Well, yessir, I did, and it seemed to make sense at the time…. I have to plead “diminished capacity” at the time.
On the Stand comment, are they now turning on Marty Rathbun and saying he is an insider for “The Aftermath?” I didn’t go on the site to see for myself because I don’t want them to get the stat of another person clicking on their site.
Today they tweeted â #ScientologyTheAftermathâs Leah Reminiâs Go-Tu-Guru, Marty Rathbun, tellâs the truth as a show insiderâ along with a video clip where Marty claims Shellyâs disappearance was made up by Mike and Leah et al.
No, not quite. Marty Rathbun is still used as the faithful attack dog. In the video he is trying to undermine the credibility of Aftermath by lying about his “inside knowledge” of Shelley Miscavige. Mike did an entire blog recently on this topic.
Lol: “It’s rose gold and it cost a lot more than what any other rose gold ring of similar weight would cost.” This perfectly encapsulates $cientology in a nutshell. “The same stuff you could get anywhere else, but much, much more expensive!”
Simple Lost wax gold rings with a couple hundred $’s worth of gold are now, “meticulously crafted masterpieces’? I could have done MUCH better when I was 13 years old messing about making gold jewelry.
The prices that the culty are willing to pay for jewelry with the symbolism branding them as culties is unbelievable.
After being ripped off for overpriced books, courses, tape plays and percentage of their business income if they are in WISE, they are primed and ready to be ripped off for jewelry.
The prices for the jewelry as advertised are so over the top ridiculous as to boggle the mind. Have these people never bought jewelry in a jewelry store?
They make the massively overpriced Tiffany and company jewelry look like bargain basement, deal of the century, pricing.
The wife strikes me as smart enough not to be caught dead wearing evidence of her cult status.
On the 1 to 10 scale of good to bad presents a husband can give his wife, where 1 is good and 10 is bad, and a vacuum cleaner or a gym membership not asked for is a 10, I would say this gift ranks as an 11.
I looked up how much a rose gold Tiffany ring would cost. $850 for a simple one. $2000 for one with a pink sapphire and diamonds. Hugely overpriced, but not as much as these prices.
Talk about over priced! A 14K rose gold Masonic ring, with diamonds on it, that’s larger than any of those pictured only sells for $410.00. And a 14K ladies engagement ring only goes for $750.00, and that’s mostly for the diamonds on it.
Do $cientologists actually like getting ripped off??
2 auditors at flag sold me a gold ring for $500 about 8 years ago. Recently took it to a jeweler who told me the fair market value was a mere $50. So, do $cientologists actually like getting ripped off” FUCK NO, I say. FUCK NO. I am so, so fucking glad I got out before those fucking vultures sucked me dry.
Back in the 80’s, before it was illegal for auditors to accept gifts from pcs, my auditor at AOLA saw me wearing some earrings that she wanted and she kept hinting and hinting that she wanted the tri color gold jewelery. I ignored her hints and never gave her the gift and she kept pushing. I figured I paid enough for the auditing that I didn’t have to pay for jewelery for her too on top of that. Knowing what I know now about how they don’t make much if any money, I think now I would give her the jewelery so she could hock it and use the money to escape the cult.
$410 for a ring like that? Where? I love rose-gold. And with what kind of diamonds? I’d think they’d have to be pave diamonds, for that price. (Sorry for the off-topic, Mike.)
I think she should make a New Year’s Resolution to dump him like toxic waste đ Maybe she could sell that ring to make a small payment to her attorney.
I totally agree that itâs always the women in these comics who have the awareness that something is wrong. And I say this as a man. I just think theyâre smarter.
Well, if you make the man the moron no one will get angry at you LOL. I don’t mind it since L. Con and Deviant Mr. Cabbage are men, so I just imagine them as the dude being mocked…
Stupidity does not discriminate. I’ve run into idiots of all colors and flavors.
đ Well, I don’t know about that, but I know it can swing either way, especially when you are married to an addict. This guy screams addict IMO. I suppose they can hit bottom together and lose everything, or she can save herself.
A Christmas Card I received from Scientology (joke)
Here we go….
Merry Christ (the Implant) mas and Happy New Year!
It’s that time of year again. Time to worship the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Implant.
It is a time to gather around the Implant’s Christmas Tree, singing Implant Carol’s whilst noshing on roasted chestnuts and sipping Hot Toddy’s (except if you have to do a Sec Check tomorrow) as you write up your O/W’s and make amends to Scientology for your transgressions during the year.
It’s a time to pass out 5,000 Way to Happiness Booklets at Football Games, knowing with Total Certainty you are reducing crime in your area and spreading good tides of Cheer.
It’s a time to reflect the sorry state of the Wog World so one may consider a move up in Status for your Idle Morgue.
It’s a time to be with Family, except if you are in the Sea Org, of course or you disconnected from Family due to SP’s – they are everywhere.
So, reach out to your 2D that you have not spent more than 2 hours in the past 30 years and give them a gift that says I have high ARC for you.
You see, nothing says ML to you and your Bee Tee’s than a rose gold $cientology Cross necklace with a crossing out of Jesus, the Implant, on the cross. It is very theta.
So do a reach and withdrawal on your bank account and see your local Registrar by 2pm on Thursday, you CSDB who SCOHB!
Spoke to Gunner in Twin Cities last night. The reality these people have is amazing, apparently “Once Leah started going after source, Rinder really didn’t like that and is now making amends with the Church.”
