Wherever I am wherever I wander Fridays will always belong to RB.Treasonous Eyes,My new go-to phrase.I love it! Thank you RB from all my heart.?to my❤️
RB, this was perfect. It precisely duplicates the kinds of conversations I had with staff and public in the end. Stubbornly, I continued to communicate, calmly, clearly (I worked on achieving such tones) what I was observing. Stubbornly, they continued to effectively tell me I either had MUs or I was out ethics. “Treasonous eyes”. Yes! Seeing what I saw, what I observed, and my communicating about it, was TREASON in the eyes of this group! I would observe their reactions, so polar opposite to the reactions I expected from those well versed in Scientology tech. It was so like what you’ve depicted here, RB. When I observed those reactions, I never said much, never said what I was really thinking to any of them, but it blew my mind. It still does.
The only person I ever communicated too about the insanity I saw was my husband. He then insisted my ‘PR’ was my problem and insisted I send my KRs about management via him for editing LOL I thought he was correct well he was but my PR was not the problem 🙂
was your PR the Public relations? Anyway; yes, when I tried to communicate the insanity to my then husband: I was declared and became SP….He tattled on me! The he left me! Anyway, the “wasband” is still on staff and I am divorced….We were married 27 years
That and obnosis. It’s really too bad the Eagles aren’t likely to do a follow up to “Lying eyes” – I can hear it now – “You can’t hide your treasonous eyes….”
Unfortunately, we all know what happens next: Karen writes up a KR on Frank, then Frank and his wife starts getting calls from Ethics demanding that they “come in for handling”. The calls don’t stop, and Frank and his wife make the conscious decision to not go in. Pretty soon, that “break” from Scientology becomes a permanent break, and Frank ends up discovering this blog and starts posting here about how Ethics behave like a bunch of chimps, throwing shit against the wall until something sticks (and stinks). Meanwhile, we get entertained by Frank’s postings and he becomes a regular here.
Amazing how it has gone down hill. In the old days missions and orgs were crowded. You could even take family or friends to an org and the atmosphere was friendly. Academy levels were not that expensive and you could co-audit. Then L Ron’s dark side and greed spoiled the scene and Miscavige the new dictator took over and continued making things worse. The scam is still going on specially in LA and Clearwater, but for how long ? RB is doing and excellent forensic job! Thank you Mike!
Regraded Being – I LOVE the subtlety of Frank being genuinely pissed off while Karen is so covertly hostile complete with hooded eyes…not even seeing Frank, but already having left the building and leaving all circuits in control (COB circuits on “What to do/say if…”). You truly captured a fine distinction.
I’m having a little get together tomorrow with a bunch of exes for Leah’s first episode. There’s gonna be a lot in it about you…so I’d like to extend to you an invitation….you know for comic relief. And yes….we’re having quiche.
Yep, you nailed it once again RB.
The quicksand think of a Scientology groupie never seems to touch the bottom of anything. Strange the way analogies and Scientology go hand in hand. It seems to be the only way to try to explain the mind numbing stupidity of its members. When I did my diver training we had to dive at night a lot. Sometimes when you are physically exhausted, really deep and it’s inky black all around you the only way you knew which way was up was to put your hands on top of your face mask and exhale. Spin around until you feel the flow of bubbles – that up! The Scientology mindset is similar except they never exhale.
Rather than stupidity, Yawn, I’d call it self induced blindness. They shun the truth much like a very young child who won’t approach the bedroom closet at night time since he *knows* there’s goblin there.
Excellent compararison T77. Scientologists have become childish. Believing fairy tales, and beautifull stories. They pay COB who give them the right to dream. Never ever they will get a bad new unless it brings money to Miscavige. They have been brought to believe in the idea that scientology is a relgion, therefore they have faith, and belivingness is senior to lookingness. Like the early Christians. They have entirely lost the ability to observe which is one of the basis or real scientology. Miscavige has made scientologist into children, regressive, cultish attitude.
Late at night a big ideal org is lonely/I guess every form of refuge has its price/And it breaks her wallet to think her money is only/ given to a man with a soul as cold as ice
Our reporter has just arrived at the scene where Tom Cruise apparently farted. Eileen can you give us any more details on this incredible story?
Yes, Harvey…as you know Tom doesn’t do anything half hearted….if he does something he does it in a big way….and yes I can attest that this was a big one…more details from actual eyewitnesses who heard it and actually smelled Tom Cruise’s fart. WOW! What a story!
We’re back Harvey with more details of what’s shaping up to be the story of the year!
This is Mary and she was actually standing right next to TC when he let it go. Mary can you tell us what happened?
Well Harvey, we just finished shooting the scene of Tom’s latest blockbuster movie….and talking about blockbusters….well you wouldn’t believe what happened next….I thought at first there was a terrorist attack….but then I smelled it….and yes I’ll never be the same.
I turned to Tom and he immediately shouted at me in that Tone 40 only Tom can muster….
He screamed at me, “You smelt it you dealt it.” Knowing of course that he knew…well we both knew that only 1 of the 2 biggest beings on the planet were the only ones capable off such an explosion…I said to him, “Now Tom you don’t want to pay for another confessional do you?”
He smiled….and I smiled…and yes there was something in the air……
Amazing that they apparently believe they really are expanding. This is the actual text message I received from Atlanta ideal org a few months ago, the person was not very fluent in English.
Bests time for Scientology is right now. The expansion is unveliebeble
Doug, I still sputter mentally when I have to confront this sort of blindness. I don’t get it, I really, really don’t.
My only answers come when dig deep into myself to recall a few times in my life when I didn’t see what was right in front of me and apparent to everyone in the vicinity but me.
There have been several times like that for me – thank God, not too many – but at those times, when I did not perceive what was in hindsight glaringly plain, there was a common denominator linking instances that differed widely in all other ways. The common denominator to my stupid blindness during these times was wanting something, needing something, very much. I either wanted a situation to be a certain way, or a person to be a certain way. I actually decided beforehand about these instances. My mind was made up, my picture was there, and these situations and people had to fit my picture…something like that. I mean, it was beyond dumb, because dumb and/or ignorant can be understood and forgiven, and I was neither. What I was, was delusional, and I had my reasons for being delusional. Long story. I don’t recommend clinging to delusions. When they crumble there is no worse disappointment, or, if you will, heartbreak, than the realization that you have been “looking” at someone or something and not seeing what, or who, was there, but instead, you’re own picture of that person or thing.
In my own defense, my departing Scientology was not one of these types of experiences. For years I was merely ignorant about the abuses going on, the off policy, the out ethics of this cult. When finally, by accident, I caught on, and became very alert to it. I had already learned my difficult lesson about delusion.
I believe that this is pre-GAT II tech, the result of suppressive transcriptionists distorting the sacred words of Founder and Source, L. Ron Hubbard. The corrected version of this actually reads, “listen, don’t look.” There were no semi-colons involved here, just pure suppression plain and simple.
To get right down to ‘basic-basic’ on the chain, one would have to LOOK for the research that is the foundation of the subjects of dianetics and scientology. Finding none (because there wasn’t any), one would have to logically conclude that it would be foolish to LISTEN to any of the subsequent nonsense emanating from ‘Source’. This can be summed up in the immortal (but paraphrased) words of Jason Beghe, “show me one motherfucking clear.” Jason was operating off of pre-GAT II tech and LOOKING, not LISTENING. Another victim of suppression who has lost his way and his eternity. Just like the rest of us here who have distorted the holy writ.
Thanks RB for another delightful start to a fine Friday morning.
So true! Once again RB provides us with a hilarious example of how Scamotology 2.0’s continued existence ironically depends on doing the exact opposite of what Elron himself set out in very clear policy form. I can’t quite recall (even though I DID attest to being Clear) the exact Data Eval Series PL that RB is alluding to here, but it very clearly describes how to go about performing an independent oversight review of any org, division or post’s performance and stresses the importance of looking at exactly what’s before you, rather than listening to people telling you anything.
In Scamotology 2.0 that central dictum has been turned right on its head, so that now the glaringly obvious fact that very, very few public are taking courses and going up the bridge – despite vast sums being spent on huge, lavish new Ideal org buildings – can’t even be mentioned without getting you sent to ethics for some very expensive sec checking regrooving.
There’s just about no clearer evidence than this that $cn makes you stupid through fear conditioning than the fact that its members don’t even recognize when some of Source’s most important and plainly stated policies concerning exactly how to KSW have been utterly disregarded. One wonders, do True Believer $cn Ideal org staff believe that $cn is actually booming everywhere else except in their local area? The lack of natural curiosity concerning such a basic and survivally important question just can’t be seen as being based on anything but either a very low level of intelligence or a deep level of fear conditioning and denial.
Even though politely asking $cilons these kinds of obvious questions, based on actual Source policy, can cause them to blow up at you and go into vehement denial in the moment, if you calmly and compassionately refuse to take the bait and respond in kind, then a seed of truth gets planted which will, in its own good time, germinate and grow. And the truly ironic thing about it is that by using Elron’s own words and policies to frame your questions, you’re subverting the whole scam from within!
Well said Harp Fritt. Even well recognized truths like look don’t listen (that s what scientists and functioning concerns have been known to do for ever) don’t even get applied by the comatose bunch. It’s like they have gone full circle with the anti-scientologists who have trapped themselves in a corner claiming that “everything” LRH said is crap. Ironic isn’t it ?

Alex,
Very true. $500 for the HSDC and a Mark V Meter.
Now you need two meters at $5000 each after spending $1000s just to get to the point where you can maybe do the GAT 2 New Era Dianetics Course.
I used to take family and friends to the Mission.

Great strip Regraded Being! I love your work and……wait a minute….I’m being handed some BREAKING NEWS!!
OMG TOM CRUISE JUST FARTED! More details to come….
That’s right folks, Tom just farted and the world will never be the same!
Tom knows the history of Farting. You don’t.

That fart deserves a Freedom Medal! The inscription on the back reads – “smellis extordinous”
Wognited and Out! says
Now – who on Xenu’s frozen H-Bomb…would even suspect that Tom Cruise’s fart’s are some of the most ethical farts on Teegack…aka EARTH.
Tom keeps his farts ethics ruthlessly in and he will keep your farts ethics in too.
Call Tom for a metered fart check today!
