I’ve come to believe no one will help the victims of Scientology, least of all the authorities. The system is corrupt from bottom to top.
The only way to win against Scientology would be to break the law. Not that I’m calling for this of course, but Gandhi and Thoreau and Martin Luther King all broke the law non-violently. Could be a sit in or something.
Red Alert! Now, I don’t know if this is a hoax or not, but, ABC News is saying the Supreme Court has ruled, unanimously, that the Church of Scientology no longer, has tax exempt status. It will start on 6 April!
Gravesite girl disconnected from her dad because she bought the pitch that scientology’s aim is to save mankind and the world. Such a magnificent objective ought not be thwarted. Creating a Utopia is seriously important shit. It’s the sort of end that justifies any means.
In truth, poor gravesite girl was duped because all that talk about ‘a world where man can be free’ etc, is just a sales gimmick and it was never anything else. Go to any org and ask to see the step-by-step plan to clear the planet. If it’s not in writing it’s not true ya know.
Brilliant and tragic. Regraded Being’s intimate understanding of the Scientological mindset cuts like a knife. Am I supposed to laugh or cry? Don’t feel bad if you end up doing both. If the Church weren’t actively hurting so many people, today’s strip by RB would show the exact point where tragedy becomes comedy.
Anybody who has been subjected to these mindgames knows that the discussion above is pretty close to what members of the Sea Org would actually have said. Just for a small example of how these people think, consider the very first words out of the mouth of the woman who tried to recruit me into the Sea Org when I was fourteen years old:
Hi Infinitely More Trouble, Brilliant! Thank you I am happy you post here and what you posted needs no elaboration.Scientology’s Stone Cold Truth.Love ,Ann.
I think it’s because hard core scientologists think “next life will be better” is why they can Disconect so easily… It’s sad .. But I think I’m understanding better …:(
The Church trying to put me in mental institution then using false docs and fake power of attorney get custody of me to then force me to trial as a “codefendent or false witness” minimal to perjur myself. Contact me. They are working on setting up sanity hearing now. This can expose them.

Are you Stan or Maryanne Dubin from Clearwater or Ohio? If you are UTR – no need to answer and “welcome back” to the land of the truth and the living! I met Stan in Clearwater and heard about his tu-dee wife – who I believe commuted from Sin-Sin- Nattery, Ohio.
30 years ago I would have responded almost violently to this sort of “entheta” and dismissed it out of hand and worked harder for the cause.
Now… after a rather large serving of humble pie and egg off face wiping I see RBs message as a prime example of the truth of what actually occurs inside the bubble of scientology. It was only the other day I had to bear through the effect of an upset niece because an OT8 got all pissed off because I helped out a relative without including her. The sheer arrogance, contempt and self righteousness of the false state of OT wanabes has to been experienced to be believed – a 4 yr old spoilt brat has more compassion & common sense!
Nothing good comes from being a member of the Cof$.
The first panel should have included little footprints all over the grave, as if some little person had danced on top of it with glee, and show DM off on the horizon walking away from the grave site, with empty scotch bottles and empty cigarette packs left behind, about to get into his CO$ “Pope Mobile” Limo (dancing on the graves of SPs would be something Miscavage would secretly enjoy doing, I bet…)
“Bitch is being a real dev-t particle for her seniors. She’s flagrantly guilty of case on post which I believe is a crime. She needs to knock off all the HE&R and just get on with the real job of clearing this sector. I mean both my folks died shortly after I disconnected from them, and frankly, it freed up a lot of my attention units. By the way, my stats that week were highest ever! I have no sympathy for those who are unwilling to pull their own weight.”

SMOKING S.O. BITCH IS BACK !!!!!!
I thought RB was going soft.
This is Sad and has the cast of characters that are REAL.
Throw in Fred and Louis Swartz.
The majority of hard core Scientologists have lost the capability to empathize, to show or feel compassion. I remember George Bailie years ago when he found out that my older brother had been robbed and murdered. The extent of George’s sympathy and consolation was his not so helpful comment that my brother must have been very PTS. Yeah, thanks for understanding and caring George…
So true Zola. But when I left after a few years I found myself reliving and getting thru all the normal emotions that I had (from the indoctrination) ‘kept my TRs in’ and ‘not ised’. Nasty stuff especially when you may at first not see what is happening. Each on of these miss-lead souls will have to figure it out at some point. Chris Shelton just released a vid about ‘Thought-Stopping’. Worth a listen http://mncriticalthinking.com/category/scientology/
Though I am an “SP” who has gone through the heartbreak of losing loved ones due to disconnection, I have to say that the last two people in the panel are actually very unreal as to what happens in Scientology. That level of direct cynicism would never happen. Scientologists who are “handling” someone almost always have fooled THEMSELVES into believing that what they are doing (whether stealing money or breaking up families) is moral and “survival.” They reinforce that by telling EACH OTHER the “correct” reasons for the overts that they are committing and so keep convincing each other that their crimes are indeed good (and standard) acts. They would never be able to confront voicing (or even looking at) what they are doing in such an honest manner … because they are not even aware of that.
Yes, exactly Joe but I could see RB is stating it the way it IS regardless of what they really would have said. Oh yes that would have been quite different and the underneath (portrayed) very very hard to detect. Good TRs and other indoctrinating training from day one.
Regraded Being is right on point as usual. This is a true story, I also saw the tweet this was based on. It was incredibly sad and frustrating, because it was a situation that didn’t have to happen. She spent the last 3 years disconnected from her Dad, who she claimed loved her and knew she loved him, yet she wouldn’t speak to him for the past 3 years until he suddenly died. Now she wants a ‘sign that he is ok’. No, he isn’t ok. He would have loved to be in contact with you for the past 3 years, now it’s too late. Disconnection is not OK. A ‘church’ has no business severing the relationship between parent and child. Or any family members for that matter. Sad. Unacceptable. This is why we protest. Life is short. Love your loved ones before it’s too late.
Got my heart broken here again today. It just needs to end fully, my consolation is many bricks have been removed from this tower of babble, (not Babel) it is falling.
Then lock yourself in a bathroom or stay in a very public area until you’re given further instructions. Be ready to start screaming if someone tries to physically take you back.
No you won’t get tracked by the public computer but yes on your cell phone. Get a disposable phone and phone a friend. Go to your nearest church and ask for R&B assistance for a few days and repost for help finding some friends.
I was never in, so I hope it makes sense to add that you should go to a “real chuch”, that is e.g. a church for Christian people. Don’t go to an org, for us mere wogs known as “Scientology church”.
Regraded Being once more showing with utter accuracy the utter perversion of the cult of greed. Too bad the Belgian prosecutor didn’t ask him and Mike to give their point of view on the way this innocent, stigmatised “new religion” treats its members.
Thanks RB.I am in this situation.My son was told to disconnect with me because I interfered with his vital mission.His mission?Try to body route another person from the street into the empty org.End result:Another one star review on Yelp.
Even today — I see on various Facebook pages or blogs, people LONG LONG LONG gone from the official church and are actually declared — sounding like the above.
Saying how it’s OBVIOUS this or that child “knows” —
Damn — all children like to pound things and they weren’t Jim Morrison or Jimmy Hendrix
ITS NOT EASY waking up from a lifetime of cult-think.
A good one RB, but if I recall correctly the inverted cross also represents Saint Peter and his successors as Pope. Something to do will being crucified upside down at his request but I’m sure the Romans had fun doing it.
Hi teleny,I am with you regarding the Rose Cross.I always loved roses- crosses,but after Sea Org not so much.But put some roses with a cross and I’m happy.Always,Ann.
Hi alcoboy, You are so right! I have tried to come up with another group as Unethical as Scientology.The closest I can come is Crowley’s cult and I keep well away from his writings.Never cared for them, yet Ron fooled me totally.Love,Ann.
