.. because in the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology one cannot be too concerned about those who have dropped their bodies… It might distract from those important stats!
Such miraculous technology in the cult, it seems like anything can be done. Last week they bounced some stars in Galaxy-X-1 off each other and squeezed a planet into a giant diamond. Even more awesome reports are expected next week. They just need to pay this week’s rent first.
Uruguay? I contacted the cat (now kitten) and asked; What was up with the Alice story?
“Alice’s woo was simply too much. Her touch assist distracted me and I ended up inhaling the damn hairball. Stupid beech killed me. I let her know I was in Uruguay so’s she would know I was out of her reach, and any other scieno. Meow, forever.”
I wrote a long post about how I once went to a 12 step meeting and some guy stood up and was very distraught and spoke on and on about his cat that had just died. Ultimately, I decided the post was just too off topic to post and so I deleted it.
But that event was amazing to experience. The guy was so distressed that he lost all concept of where he was. It was a one hour meeting and everyone typically speaks for 3 minutes. But this guy would have spoken for the entire 60 minutes had someone not finally stopped him after 20 minutes and told him he was out of line. At that point, he started screaming like a Banshee and fled the room.
My point is that I had never previously realized how incredibly close people can get to their pets and how deeply they can suffer when the pet dies. It was a very interesting experience.
In conclusion, I have no idea why I am posting this here. I hope it may shed some light on why people can behave in that kind of way when a beloved pet dies.
I would have enjoyed hearing that story about the man and his cat.
What is the pet situation in the cult? The same as everywhere else? The fact that you were surprised by the guy’s attachment to his cat makes me think you don’t know many people with pets?
In the S.O. staff members ARE pets.
They are the owned property of one David Miscaviage.
He alone can have them put down or wear Captains bars. He has done both. My only regret with the S.O. was that I never had the honor of saluting Dm’s dogs. ( I have saluted DM himself). Nowadays it is more of an honor to salute his dogs than himself.
Heil Miscaviage!
Skyler we always had dogs. They become part of the family. They have emotions and personality. They never betray and give you a lot of love and are part of the group. Of course when they die one has a loss. Currently whe have a Japanese Spitz that can really influence everybody’s mood positively every time.
I understood why and how this man could feel devastated by the death of his cat.
My surprise was that he would come to an NA meeting and essentially monopolize meeting talking about something that was completely O/T for those kinds of meetings.
But I suppose considering how many O/T posts I make in this blog, perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised at all.
I never even said how great this edition of the blog was. It really was one of RB’s most hilarious efforts.
Pftt. Dead cat dropping body and coming back in… URUGUAY?!
If it were cause over life, wouldn’t it want to come back as a tiger in India or a lion in Africa? I think this hits the intersection between the religious theory and conspiracy theory.
Apparently scientologists do believe that they can tell when a deceased friend or family member has taken over a new body. I recall talking to an elderly gentleman at the waiting room at founding Church Washington DC. His wife had recently passed away, he made the comment that he helped her get into a new body, or something to that effect. He said she was now a little girl and he knew the address where she was living now. Even though I was still drinking the Kool-Aid at the time that conversation struck me as really bizarre.
I knew a guy named Sam Speevak when I was living at the Golden Triangle Flag berthing in 86. He told me one night that he had proof that people came to the March 13 event in spaceships. He went and came back with 4 pieces. Put together they made up Santa’s sled with raindeer. THe said that they were symbols from another world. He stole them from someone’s lawn so he could prove they were from another planet.
He was the lookout on the Apollo when he reported to the Bridge that there was a UFO coming over the horizon. After carefully investigation the Bridge Officer informed Sam that the object was the sun.
Sam had been commended in the Orders of the Day by LRH for being a good auditor.
Great RB today you even surpassed yourself.
I have really seen situations like this happen.
I remember once an OT who told us (we were 5 or 6 people) that while he was driving in the evening, an alien spaceship had flanked him and through a porthole he had seen LRH greeting him.
Obviously it seemed to almost everyone a huge bullshit but nobody says nothing as in scn there is something called ‘granting beingness’.
But someone kept asking him questions about and speculating what LRH was doing there.
The guy was obviously allucinating. The old man has never spoken to anyone since he died, not because he didn’t want to but because he has no idea about how to do it. His long silence is just another proof of how he deceived us all, who at some point had some faith in him, myself included.
TTGreco. Thanks. Yes that guy was quite off the rails. Then he disappeared or got declared for some weird stuff.
What you say about hubbard is perfectly correct: his is a silence that speaks for itself.
I heard interview with Marc Hedley (I think it was him) he was talking about how they put LRH clothes out on the beds each morning so ‘when’ he returns he can get dressed, Marc said, and this bit caused me to spit my coffee out, “if he comes back why the f**k would he want to put on clothes that where for a fat old guy” It cracked me up.
I believe that they clean them daily as well – I wonder what those offices that are set up at each org are for ? Scientoliegy say they are in tribute for the man but others say they have one at each org so when he returns he already has a office ready and waiting for him to continue his work.
Yeah. Some of these offices are so small that it’s practically impossible move the chair and sit at the desk. It would have been better to paint the furnitures in the walls instead of put real ones.
I’m surprised this guy didn’t extend his story to say that LRH had told him that money was needed to construct a super-secret space station for all the slaves to join when they dropped their bodies and he was to be the one assigned to collect the money to pay for the Kool Aid.
OK. I am just joking. But it really is a pretty sick joke. Just like the entire scam is a sick cult.
The cat lady story is interesting. So, had the cat lady put the ill cat on the cans to know that the cat could recall past lives and had committed previous crimes to make it choke on a hair ball? That it would be reborn into a new cat mother? Were there nine of them? I might actually pay to see that. I don’t know why that lady is mocking Alice. It’s as believable as all the other tripe they have been fed. Well, clearly the cat didn’t leave Alice any money or Alice’s story would have been completely believed.
