I love the infinite word progression, …. must get my life repair repaired or get my life repair repair repaired … or get my life repair repair repair repaired.
There are more than one aspects of this that make it brilliant. I don’t just call it “brilliant” to flatter you.
This kind of double talk is absolutely perfect for this scam because … for every extra level (meaning for every extra occurrence of the word “repair”, the scam charges its victims an extra chunk of money. That is why this seems so brilliant to me.
RB? You just keep on giving the gift of satire and you never disappoint. Well done once more!
My life repair was done in 1972 when I first entered. No auditing after that ever came even close to the relief I felt after they asked me a few questions about my disturbed childhood. They cleaned out my bank account of $3,500 but I kept going for seventeen more years. OT VIII was a total joke. OT V did nothing.
Jere:
Yes, the best religion money can buy.
In my case I could not afford it. The reason was that instead of dollars they wanted blood. And the human body only holds 5 quarts of blood. After I gave them that I was dead.
I spoke at graduation at San Diego org around 2006. I told the congregation that in HCOPl 2 February 1965 ” Keeping Scientology Working” LRH says ” We would rather have you dead than incapable”. But, as I told them in my SS ; in their case it appeared that their MAA just wanted me dead.
( No joke here; I actually told them that.)
I don’t claim to match the Success Story from the lady in the Starlight Cabaret on the Freewinds who told the crowd that the Route to Infinity course was “Almost as good as LSD”.
When I heard that I thought that I must be on acid. Surely no poor dumb bastard would say such a thing on stage at graduation with COCMO Ship and Commodore’s Messengers in the front row.
I was not disappointed. COCMO Jennifer Alpers waved her hand and a Messenger escorted the lady from the Stage straight to ETHICS.
You know, I should actually get a computer and s place to put it. Then I would not have the problem of reliving some horrendous activity in the Sea Org and having it disappear off the page and you fine people never see it. It is similar to doing a clay representation on a heavily charged ruin of mine and have the sup say stupidly “What?”.
I can’t count the number of EXCELLENT comments got swallowed into the black hole of a cranky computer.
First, it was my 20-year-old iMac with a flaky thermal in the video “card”, then a new (2 y-o) iMac just ceasing to respond after random periods. Now, a brand new iMac is wizzing along brilliantly, no matter what I throw at it. Still web-sites sometimes are on creaky web servers, so it’s still a good idea to compose in a local app, then cut-and-paste. It also serves as another level of proofreading.
Still, ya’ gotta love that 5-minute EDIT function we get here.
Great humor RB, the sign in the background is great.
At the end of the 80s the first service I was sold to do before the purif was a Life repair. The result was a headache that lasted a week and a nuisance to see things. When I mentioned it, they told me it could happen. It could it happen?!? It was just added as money-making service (as they always do). It wasn’t necessary. I should have left then.
Oh gawd! This so reminded me of when I HAD to get my KTL repaired and I had no idea I needed it (and a year later!), but I reluctantly paid for a repair session and it was utterly senseless, stupid and unneeded. Another fraudulent money grab in my opinion that the church of scientology dishes out at the behest of its leader, just like its over-the-top set ups to prepare me for many of my “next action” or the utterly unnecessary 2-3 intensive “refreshers.”
I was doing the life repair at FCDC many years ago. Midway through I was told I wasn’t getting the kind of results I should be getting due to some condition that they had discovered, they wouldn’t tell me anything about this condition other than it would cost $3,000 for a different type of auditing to handle. I was young and poor and told them there was no way I could get $3,000. They did not give up easily, Liz Clapp even said they would loan the money to me interest-free. I declined all their offers and they finally gave up. And miraculously after that I was told I no longer had the mysterious condition. Even with my limited experience in the cult it became clear to me that the type of auditing needed was in no small way related to the amount of money a person had.
O/T. O/T. As I am sure everyone is aware, President Trump and Melania Trump have tested positive for Coronavirus.
In response, Scientology Patron Meritorious and Republican political operative Joy Villa tweeted that President Trump and Melania Trump are “protected by the immense power of Jesus Christ”:
Most importantly, I want to ask the following question:
Won’t Villa and other Scientologists have to conclude that President Trump and Melania Trump are PTS?Â
The Scientology Handbook explains:
* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *
There are two stable data which anyone has to have, understand and know are true in order to obtain results in handling the person connected to suppressives.
These data are:
1. That all illness in greater or lesser degree and all foul-ups stem directly and only from a PTS condition.
2. That getting rid of the condition requires three basic actions: (A) Discover; (B) Handle or (C) Disconnect.
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
I am not asking this question to inject politics into this forum, nor to attack or defend President Trump. I am genuinely curious about how on-lines, in good standing Scientologists will react to this news.
The wife of a couple who make tons of money as “loan sharks” recently went to re-do everything back up to OT8. A close relative says she paid about a million for it all. And this is of course after having paid a ton for the first trip though all these levels.
Her hubby ain’t drinking the koolaid too much these days but won’t object because the wife is a viscous “ruler”. They have a daughter in the Sea Ogre and father voicing objectives would bring a divorce and surely force a disconnection from her.
Oh the traps of being in this cult. So, so glad that so many of us woke up and escaped.
So she paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do this, all to be told at the end “you are who you are, and you’re not who you’re not”, not only that, but then she goes and pays a million dollars to be told the same AGAIN?! I have no words. Scientology is rubbish, absolute RUBBISH.
Dave must be getting desperate again for stats. Desperate to show the minions that there are ‘bodies in the shop’. So he’s going back to his tried and true formula of repeat, repeat and repeat. If his junior high mind wasn’t occupied by hiding from process servers he’d have GATIII ready for everyone to buy. I expect a reissue of ‘The Basics’…maybe instead of semi-colons it’ll be comma splices. The last time he did this tons of people left. Some went out loudly and some just faded into the background and hoped they would just be forgotten. Now only the hard core are left. They are Miscavige bots more so than Ron bots.
Amazing how the cult’s suggested services are always those that make the most money for the cult. Money must be enturbulating

Good idea Bill.

Very funny, RB!

Thanks RB.
The 1st Black Widow says to the 2nd Black Widow……………….
RB always makes me smile!

“Life Repair”…. That’s what all current members need most, what the Aftermath Foundation can get them started on.

Wow what a scam! Is there any other business that would sell you a service/treatment without telling you why?
Love the sign!

I thought the PTS steps were
A) discover
B) Handle or disconnect.
C), if it exists, must be PAY UP!
And if President & Melania Trump are PTS, does this mean that Trish Duggan will stop contributing mucho bucks to his campaign?
Scientology – the most ethical religion money can buy.

Sooooo idiotic and also sad that people stay on the cherch merry-go-round and actually pay money to keep holding on tightly!!
Needed this. It puts the ‘EN’ in entheta, and I mean that in a caution-tape kind of way.
