Hope is always the last thing to die.
Hopefully not on their death beds, after they’ve been fitness boarded to some horrid Medicaid nursing home, disconnected from everybody.
That was my main concern after my then wife was told by the ship to put me in a hospice to die. I was afraid that she would take me there and leave. Fortunately, she took me to a real doctor, not the Aflac (quack) people the cult sent me to. It was not dying that bothered me; dying was inevitable at that point. It was just being ended-cycle on, as the Captain had previously
told her to do when he told her that I was going to die.
You are absolutely not boring me. I often wonder whether I am boring people by repeating my old refrain about how important it is to keep shining a light on all the abuses and atrocities this cult commits against innocent victims.
AFAIC, you should just keep on posting. IMHO, there is nothing boring about your posts whatsoever!
“One of the prime principles you must know about any universe to keep it in a good, messy, chaotic, solid, disordered form is to take no responsibility for ever having created it. Say, ‘God did it,’ you’ve practically got it made! And the more you say, ‘God did it,’ the more solid the universe is going to get — if you made it up. Get the idea? Listen, if God made it and that was the true ownership of it, it would disappear! Because that’s assignment of proper ownership; that’s taking a full responsibility for it. That’s understanding exactly what its source was. And it would disappear, just like that.” — L. Ron Hubbard, April 9, 1959
“People say, ‘What you should do is listen to God and spirits.’ The second you put a person’s attention out into nowhere, the second you ask him to start searching around into nowhere in the nether-netherlands to find something that is giving him a series of hidden commands, that he can never touch, that he can do nothing about, you have run him into his engram bank. Religion, then, plays a rather important part in all aberration. The bulk of the people you’ll find in asylums, by the way, are gibbering about religion. That’s because they’ve tried to communicate with something out there which was nothing, and it just wiped them out, that’s all. And the more they try to communicate with that nothing, of course, the less response they get because there’s nothing there talking to them. But there is somewhere that something is talking to them-their own engram bank.” — L. Ron Hubbard, April 9, 1954
This work RB does is so good. It totally portrays how Scientologists behave. You know you are healing from the trauma and mind fuckery of Scientology when you can laugh at how crazy Scientology is and how insane Scientologists behave. Thank you RB. I have been reading your column on Mike’s Blog for many years. You hit the nail on the head every time.
If you are on the fence, Google L Ron Huubard. There was never any research or tech, it was all crap he made up. He was a science fiction writer who made a penny a word writing Sci Fi stories. I would think the people who dedicate their lives to $ci would want to know about the founder/source.
Gordon: Scientology lies to its sheeple about Doctor L Ron Hubbard every.single.day. Scientologist are forbidden to investigate L Ron Hubbard, Scientology, Dianetics or David Miscavige. It is a high crime. They will be Declared Suppressive Person and get punished with inhumane punishments if they are caught. So, most Scientologists stick their heads in the sand and won’t look at anything except what is spoon fed to them via mind Implants about the fat fuck con man with black teeth – Dr. L Ron Hubbard, the criminal.
Org Saint hill size (both to do and to maintain) Universe Corps, a planet made finally clear, etc are all chimeras and utopias that are continually being pulled out to be resold to the herd.
Not so many years ago Milano org one of (or perhaps ‘the’) largest and most populated class 5 in the world still had big problems paying the normal debts that accumulated. Nothing was changed since 20 years before.
That now DM may want people think he wants to launch again the new evolution of the SH size (saying that being ideal orgs was a mandatory step) is yet another carrot.
“Now that we have the new OECs to train to boom any org and many ideal orgs we can move on to the next level – the orgs that become all SH!”
And he will have to do it to revive a field that has boxes full of promises and that no longer knows where to store them.
Yes. I also think they should be bound in a a hard-covered or leather-covered book so they will live for the ages. Wouldn’t THE TWERP have apoplectic fits if more of RB’s books were sold than all of the garbage books the arch-criminal sold to the sheeple?
The only problem with that is he may actually kill someone one day out of anger that their stats were not as high as he expected. After all, you know what they say about narcissistic, neurotic TWERPS, don’t you?
They are dangerous people. I would never trust them to mind my kids for any length of time at all.
The old Universe Corps myth again. I saw through it the first time. That corps will never be anything but a corpse, even before it’s unleashed. Co-auditing, which was always difficult at the best of times, is as close as any staff will get to climbing the bridge to total destruction.
It was my recall that the purpose of the Universe Corps was to take staff from Clear to OT. It was not to get staff to the state of Clear.
I seem to recall that LRHED 339R talked about staff not being able to get to an AO to go OT and so LRH said that he could send the Universe Corps to their local org if they 5.4Xed their stats. I seem to recall that LRH said something about getting up to Clear so the Universe Corps would even have something to do. And how now (at that time 1982) they had great Clearing Tech at their Cl IV (or CL V) org.
It’s only been 39 years since the issue came out and I believe all staff had to star-rate it at the time so if they have forgotten it already they need to report to ethics for the false attest and then Cramming.
Of course these staff would possibly balk at accepting any correction from myself a man pronounced dead 19 years ago by the only Right Arm Captain in the Sea Org.
After all, MRIs have shown that my brain has “Marked Volume Loss”
and my heart is proven to pump only a quarter of the normal Volume of blood, both conditions caused by having HIV AIDS for 13 years while crew of the Freewinds.
I would appreciate one of the trolls from OSA on this blog (just assuming there are any) to say: “Straass, you could not even tell the nurses in the hospital what the current year was or the country you were in and could not even recognize your own wife”. I am certain that they have all of this information in their files. Joan Heller, my last auditor on the ship freaked out when she saw me still alive a few years later I guess that I am in Non-Compliance with dying. That is probably why I was declared.
Ahhhhh yes. I recall receiving a goldenrod in the mail. I was being summoned to an Ethics Hearing for God & Xenu only know…what. I was mortified and petrified. They must have caught me posting on Tony Ortega’s blog under the radar.
Then I realized I was no longer pretending to be part of the cult.
I was not going back in. Fuckem.
I threw it away. Scientology implants FEAR into the minds of Scientologists using that color. I still get restimulated when I see that color. I need more deprogramming. Crap! Just when I thought I cleared out all the Scientological implants, another one rears it’s ugly head.
Well, there you go! A miracle! David miscavige will be canonized for being able to feed his masses with a can of soup or paint a building with a can of paint. St. david. Awe, I bet he likes the sound of that.
RB, you are an exceptional, intuitive commentator with the skill to make me both smile and cry. Today’s RB in particular makes me feel so sad with its lens on the exhausting, disappointing reality of life in Scientology.
The promise of going clear may well keep dupes doing manual labor forever and a day.
If only one of them were able to successfully sue these monsters for some reasonable compensation for all the work they have done, it might start the dominoes tumbling down.
But, TBH, I think the burden is really on people like us – who are outside the scam to bring pressure to bear. We need to find a better way to contact our Federal govt representatives (meaning members of Congress and Senators) and begging (or demanding) they terminate their Tax Exempt Status and then abolish the entire criminal scam.
I dream of the day when ordinary citizens can go to a web site that asks them to enter their names and the state they live in (State name is needed to know which Senator and which Congress people to contact) and then automate the sending of email explaining just why this scam is so dangerous and why it needs to be abolished and then pleading with these representatives to get the ball rolling.
It might help to explain what Australia is doing and ask the reps to follow Australia’s lead.
An automated spam-mail system wouldn’t help the cause. (It’d be a 30-second job to auto-route them to trash, never to be read.) Best would be short, personal, hand-written notes to our reps. Next, phone calls, or perhaps best of all, pickets outside their homes just as they were returning from the office.
There is no arguing with that. I’ve just been hoping to find a way to get the vast majority of people (those who are outside the bubble), to do something with all the time they have these days while sitting at home due to COVID.
If only it were possible to enlist the help of this great majority to help us get the federal govt representatives to work towards abolishing this cult, it could be a great help in finally taking them down.
Failing that, I suppose the next best thing I can think of is the strategy often stated by Leah and Mike. We need to keep shining a light on all the human right abuses these monsters are committing against ordinary families and people who try to bring those abuses to light.

(Continued) And if I am boring any of you and you are tired of hearing about me, just let me know and I will shut the fuck up.
I see that my continuation is posted but not what I originally wrote.

Yeah Bill, i always love hearing your Tales From The Ship
Tony Ortega has posted two L. Ron Hubbard Source Code quotes that are relevant to Mike’s articcle “Scientology vs. God” yesterday.

Aka people who talk to gods/spirits are mentally ill.
Says his therapy erases mental illness. It doesn’t.
Claims spirits must be the problem afterall.
Starts talking to them.
Makes a huge wad of cash getting others to talk to them.
Spends much of his later years gibbering about them.
Mental health now in steep decline.
Tries to electrocute himself to be rid of them.
Claims sexual pleasure was invented by space nazis.
Thinks he’s the antichrist.
Dies a self confessed failure.

Oh man. I have been out of SO for decades and can still relate to these poor souls. God bless Regraded Being cartoons. I snorted out loud three times.
Methinks the entire set of RB’s postings should be required reading for the EPF recruits.
Yes. I also think they should be bound in a a hard-covered or leather-covered book so they will live for the ages. Wouldn’t THE TWERP have apoplectic fits if more of RB’s books were sold than all of the garbage books the arch-criminal sold to the sheeple?
