RB is understating rather than overstating.The link to a clip on youtube showing the good looking body router Ronbot (2nd generation)lying through his teeth to sell:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vTvURlGEgo
RB I like your articles. The characters and all
like the Brown hair girl and Blonde girl ,the script is real enough.
Are you trying to soften Scientology?
reason I ask in real life Scientology is
a lot more gross than this. I had one reg that was Blind, had an insulin pump and a pacemaker,another a morbidly obese ogre , both dropped dead on post and had threatened to throw me out of the human race unless I coughed up millions for David Miscavige.
I could go into the smear campaigns but it’s too over the top.
So Co$ has “200,000 Volunteer Ministers”, huh? Running around the world, busy busy busy doing good for everyone, everywhere. One of the largest relief organizations in the world, huh?
There can be no more doubt that whoever writes this cult crap is employing Joseph Goebbel’s propaganda technique, the Big Lie Theory. Sad.
I am very familiar with Joseph Goebbel`s propaganda.Joseph knew not to lie so much as to be ridiculous while still doing the job.Cannot be said from the current 47X up straight and vertical dwarfenfuhrer.
If the way the Scientologists act, speak and think were really the way people would have to act, speak and think in order to secure their “eternity” and “infinity of future” – then eternity/infinity definitely is not all it is cracked up to be.
Like the part that other churches give you things to keep you under their control. Scientology takes all they can from you to really control you, and “HOW THEY REALLY CONTROL YOU”, Ja Ja.
Hey, I remember these girls, from an early RB strip, about a year ago maybe. awww… they are still drinking the flavor-aid? 🙁 Poor babes, so unaware… so idealistic. I think we met them in the May 1, 2015 strip or so, but it might have been earlier, my memory isn’t that good. As always, great strip, R.B. 🙂
Hubble bubble, there’s Scientology in a bubble.
Another good one RB. You are really getting getting across the idiocy they live for, by and with. They reverse everything, any ability you might have they’ll introvert you on it. They have absolutely no idea when to let life be life. Like talking to rocks… lol!
Scientology – creating ENGRAMS by over using and abusing language since 1950.
Here are a few:
“Epic”, “Okay, good”, “I got it”, “Understood”, “Fair enough”, “ML”, “clearing the planet” are all ENGRAMS that are LOADED with emotional charge for Ex Scientologist’s.
PTSD of Dictionaries and clay are a few of the engramic Products of Scientology.
Bingo. Anything I would be told now that prefaced with “you need” or “you need to” would key me in now. Fortunately the people around me don’t talk that way. Sometimes I catch myself almost saying it but I eliminate it before it comes out of my mouth.
I’m so sick of the arrogance. The clue-less balls that are taught.
Getting calls late at night from people I’ve never met, who then want to tell me what they think I Need to Do, and want to know all about my finances and what I’m doing and have done..and so on.
It’s CRAZY.
About 20 years ago I learned to just never answer and never give them anything. Just say, ‘no thank you’, or “I’m not doing that right now’.
If you never give them a consideration there’s nothing to ‘handle’.
It’s drives them nuts. Just say no thanks and change the subject.
bwahahaha.
Hi RB, Friday morning and I am greeted by your post.I had to read the VM quote in the yellow box three times to make sure I was getting the statistics right.What a Racket indeed.Plus I love the syntax of the body routers as in ” like in so messed up”I would have sounded like a visitor from another galaxy when I first did an oca test from the Hollyweird Inn in 1974.Probably positively Sneaksperian lol Love to you & yours, Always.Ann B.
Hi Ann B. ! 🙂 Always a ray of sunlight peeking through the forest. Just wanted to say hi, it’s always nice seeing you here. Sending best wishes for a fun and relaxing holiday weekend – hope you have moments that are joyful and bring smiles to you the way you bring them to us here. Love to you and yours – T.J.
Hi T.J., So so great to see a post from you! Thank you for your wishes,it will be really hot this weekend.First real summer heat so far.Hey now you bring me the smiles I just try and send them back to all of you incredible friends and brave spirits who I am so thankful for.Love to you and yours Always.Ann B.
Hi secretfornow, Well you both have made my am sweet!! Secretfornow,I would adore to have you know me better and we will do! Tea and cakes! Let’s hope The Mad Hatter does not crash our party oops if it is David we can scrunch him in the tea pot!! Always Big Hugs & Kisses to you and yours.??Ann B.
Hi justformeteehee, I love your pic.Beautiful.See I draw power to my smile from you!I really like your posts and would love read more from you.XO Ann B.
Nailed it again. Some (if not all) of those that call themselves scientologists truly live in an alternate universe – I think even by their own admission (since they “get it” and nobody else does). These people think they have risen above Homo Sapien to Homo Novis when they are actually denigrating themselves to becoming more and more SubHuman.
“Yep, scientology is all about helping people.” But, Sarah, you didn’t finish your post. Yep, scientology is all about helping people remove their money from their (choose your favorite: wallets, offshore accounts, college funds, inheritance and my favorite, a postulate check!). Yep, Scientology, always looking out for your best interest….
Collecting sea shells by the sea shore for fear of surely not being sure, such as it is sure for you & me on shore leave collecting from more than sure babes who are really, really completely sure. Did that really happen said a less than sure sailor now totally sure where the shore money went, while being onshore.
Speaking with some scions is like conversing in a foreign language, they have fully embraced the sciobabble and don’t know how to switch off. Using the term 2d is one of their most ridiculous favorites – this always bugged me, why can’t they just say wife, husband or even that dreadful term partner?
I,had been in about a month when a staff member asked if I would be his 2d (this was in the 70s when staff and public were still allowed to associate with each other). After one short month, it seemed normal for him to ask me the question that way. That scares me to remember.
I always loathed the term. I avoided it whenever I could. It seemed so impersonal.
hahaha! remember the dweebs who’d do a “2D N/E formula” and go around proclaiming it and looking you right in the eye and offering? or those who would talk about having done and “admin scale” and were looking for someone with a compatible admin scale?
That’s more than likely true Phil, but wana bet some poor suckers were regged for ’em. The Church of no shame or regret, but always ready to blame anyone or anything other than themselves.
Regarding the literally unbelievable claims made about the Volunteer Ministers, here in the UK they’ve had their wrists slapped twice by our Advertising Standards Authority:

Hey Mike, here’s a place DM cxould buy for all the remaining cult members live. A nice “safe space”
http://time.com/money/4350788/west-virginia-town-for-sale-1-million/
200,000 x .2% = 400 is probably closer to the truth. We all know that $camology likes to fudge reality just a wee bit.

“Air guitar class”… I love it!!!
Hey, I’m in an “air bongo class….”
Yes, “air guitar class” cracked me up!
Their’re a bitch to string though but lighter than a feather. My Gibson nearly breaks my back if I stand up with it these days.
I have a 40 year old Guild that truly will break your back, I Yawn!

Not today–I’m doing the Chinese takeout rundown for lunch.
Do they still do lunch?

Run – don’t walk out of that mORGue. JUST LEAVE!
I kind of favor the old, ” you need…” as one of the better prefixes of the engrams they instill. Straight to point & never leaves you.
Bingo. Anything I would be told now that prefaced with “you need” or “you need to” would key me in now. Fortunately the people around me don’t talk that way. Sometimes I catch myself almost saying it but I eliminate it before it comes out of my mouth.

RB,
Minor error in last pane, should say “I just hope they let of have some of the food this time.”
Nailed it again,RB! That crap about not helping the poor because it creates more downstats! I don’t think that Jesus would see it that way!
I’m sorry, but, Jesus would slap the shit out of them…
He was a carpenter wasn’t he? he’d nail ’em!
Yeah, working guys are funny that way.
My bad! He would nail ’em!
Well, there was that incident he was in involving corrupt pharisees and a bullwhip.
Yep, unscripted!

The yellow box info helps out. Otherwise
men in white coats with butterfly nets will be chasing you.
The Tom Cruise comment is off U Tube
I could swear I’ve talked brown haired girl while in the Church..
Or maybe it wasn’t in the church. But I know her from somewhere for sure!
Fer sure! She must have been a brown haired Valley Girl from the Valley Model Idle Morgue. Fer sure!
Shurely you’d remember.
Oh! Fear sure…

Hi IYawnalot,Post of the month for me! I am going to recite it backward for the anesthesiologist! Lol XO
Are you sure it wasn’t Van Morrison’s ‘Brown eyed Girl”?

http://www.decision-making-confidence.com/cult-tactics.html
See the section on Loaded Language
“The group members feel understood because they all use the same words and it generates a sense of camaraderie.”
“The words and phrases can dictate how the members should act in certain situations without having to make decisions.”
Most relevant to today’s tale:
“When the jargon is second nature, talking to outsiders may become tedious and awkward…”
Gimpy – my ridiculous favorite also, the term 2d used to drive me nuts!
I,had been in about a month when a staff member asked if I would be his 2d (this was in the 70s when staff and public were still allowed to associate with each other). After one short month, it seemed normal for him to ask me the question that way. That scares me to remember.

Sooooo not romantic.
(but then, romantic was aberrated, right?
RB, you are truly a gem! You certainly have gotten their “duh” factor down pat!
Unfortunately . That’s how it is in reality.
Well, duh!
I doubt they even produced 200,000 yellow t-shirts….Phil
I believe they have no more than 15 yellow t-shirts. Once they get back to PAC Base, they’re all washed to be really for the next calamity…
That’s more than likely true Phil, but wana bet some poor suckers were regged for ’em. The Church of no shame or regret, but always ready to blame anyone or anything other than themselves.
