“I wonder if , maybe,they gave me a girl’s vest?”
Probably.
With low GI, they probably have a hard time getting replacement or additional uniform parts. At least this was the problem in my org. And we were still using those silly country music promoter get-ups ! We didn’t have the $85,000 to get those doorman outfits the other orgs are currently using.
We’re not playing some major game in Scientology. It’s just something to do because I couldn’t think of anything better. The whole agonized future of this planet, every Man, Woman and Child on it, and your own destiny for the next endless trillions of years do not depend in the slightest on what you do here and now with and in Scientology.
LOL – I had to “word clear” that hundreds of times, then act like I knew what it meant! That was even after being told I was “superliterate” after having done the Key to Life Course. I know, I know, even that was a lie since you were supposed to do that other course – Primary Rundown? – to become “superliterate.” If was “superliterate”, why did I still flunk those stupid “spot checks”??? Hmm, was it all BS…..
Yep. In the grand scheme of things, and the universe, LRH is a little hiccup in an insanely expanding universe that doesn’t give a fuck about LRH, David Miscavige, Tom Cruise, or you or me.
We’re only here to comfort each other from the cold, cold universe. So let’s do that to the best of our abilities. Scientology is a huge hindrance to our real purpose. We need warmth and love, and that terrible organization called scientology works so god-damned hard to pull warmth and love from our lives.
So what’s happening? I just returned from Tgt 2 – they threw me out for malfeasance. All I did was insist they take me to their spiritual leader. They told me to fuck off, plus they’ve never even heard an El Ron anybody & Scio is vodka drink based on mussel extract. What are we saving earth from again?
Contracts signed by minors age 16/17 and in some cases under age 21 years old are NOT legally binding either. The use of intimidation tactics as in “You HAVE to pay” for those young ones I’d say:
Kiss My Ass…….Talk To My Lawyer about coercing a MINOR into signing a non legally binding contract!
Shove it COB
They didn’t get their lot in downtown Clearwater ! Miscaviage met with each counsel member separately and told them that if they didn’t vote his way, the developer who is building Tom Cruise’s three story condo, will not spend any more in the downtown. It will NOT become LRHville !
Tom Cruise… what a horrible name tag to wear for a future scientologist. His name might be, in the future, a name we will all want to forget.
Imagine supporting and endorsing the crimes of David Miscavige. Cruise does this, with a simpleton’s cursory glance of the horrors of scientology, and he actually endorses it… HE ENDORSES it. Let that sink in!
That handsome A-lister hollywood actor endorses what we all know ruins peasant lives, like yours and mine.
RB, you hit a nerve. I actually know some parents who breathed a sigh of relief when their kid(s) joined the SO because they they wouldn’t have the expense of them not just in present time, but in the future when it comes time for college, or helping them buy a car or any number of things. Some of them try to foist their kids off into the SO when they’re just young teens to get them off their hands. It’s sad but true.
Cindy, with the way the big, bad, scary world is portrayed in Scientology, I know a few (naive) parents who thought they were “saving” their little angels from all the SPs of that world, too.
An eternal child minding service?WTF? That’s as bad as chemical parenting with the use of ritalin. Scientology sux really badly and the people who promote it but as a prison for children – OMG!
Many years ago my friends and I took the Scientology personality test. We only went in because they were offering free coffee and cookies. Well I did not pass the test and my girlfriends started teasing me about it and of course I responded and soon their was banter going on between my friend and I. The more that was said the more laughter erupted between us. At first my friends were welcomed and had passed the so called test but after our teasing each other and the laughter got louder we were all shown the door. That goodness for laughter and a sense of humour. This gave my friends some material to tease me with for years. Thank goodness Scientology was way too serious for us.
Too lost for other than melancholic words on this one RB, too many memories of staff interactions to contemplate. Guess I feel like one of the last of the Mohicans too. Staff in the 80s wasn’t quite so bad (I do remember believing once, “if it’s not fun it’s not Scientology,” but even with that concept at the time I was somewhat shielded from the insanity “uplines.” By the 90s it fully filtered downlines and it all developed into a religiously veiled version of the 3rd Reich. I just had to walk out the door – now it’s just plain ridiculous.
A good term I’ve developed for my own piece of mind is that Scientologists are the “walking wounded.” Their thinking is crippled, hence their lives and the choices in it are also crippled. The chasm Hubbard created with his words of hope, a seemingly remarkable auditing technology and then a policy system that crushed it all is hard not to view as intentional, for it just got worse and worse as the money thieving became more and more streamlined and blatant. On Ortega’s site is a tape and transcript of Hubbard talking one on one and issuing orders and an example of how he communicates to one of his messengers (a young girl for Christ’s sake) – that guy has real problems with being in charge! He’s a shitty, self absorbed officer and a terrible leader, of that there is no doubt. Miscavige is even worse!
The Scientology organisation is doomed and it’s very relieving to see it being dismantled but as I said it’s created a melancholic aftermath of its own. It’s weird to compare but the military system is way saner, even with the brutality and insanity it has to operate in at times. I proudly salute all service people, I despise the Scientology system and especially the people who profit from it!
I Yawn: I experienced the “trickle down” beginning in the late seventies/early eighties. For staff, Scientology got darker and darker. Insane orders, programs, and missions from management happened daily. By the nineties, most of the staff had left and “my” org was a shadow of its former self.
TC, thanks for sharing your experience that the “trickle down” began in the late 1970s. I myself saw just a bit in the early 1980s, but those who were further insulated out in the missions, or who came along just a bit later, understandably experienced it is as more or less coinciding with Miscavige’s rise to power, and so assumed it couldn’t have originated with “Ron the Humanitarian” (cough, totalitarian, cough). It’s always good to get confirmation from those who were around earlier and relatively closer to the “source” of power, that things started deteriorating during a period before Miscavige even came on the scene.
I think that a number of factors were in play then, including what Hubbard set in motion when he created the Sea Org while on the ships. But I’m also increasingly suspicious that overall numbers would have been starting to slide in the late 1970s, as they were for other institutions, groups and cults that had been buoyed by the Boomer demographic and the counterculture movement. From what I can tell, for instance, “de-dinging” developed in response to trying to figure out why income in the missions was declining during that period – and then, obviously, it boomed the statistics in some of them for a while (largely by adopting a form of the hard sell “crush regging” used by orgs). But the overall dynamic going on there, a typical one for organizations or structures facing underlying decline, is fighting over a shrinking pie, which may result in illusory short-term rebounds in some areas. I’d be interested if you or anyone else with experience of that era, had information or analyses to share.
Obedience brings with it a strong sense of pride. The more self sacrifice and hardship involved, the pride intensifies. When the orders become ambiguous, even to the point of incredulity, cognitive dissonance kicks in and amplifies the feeling of pride and superiority to an exquisite level. Therefore, it creates a high, thrill or rush, much like a drug, or any other addictive catalyst. That is why pride is considered to be one of the seven deadly sins. Every great manipulator or despot knows this. It is one of his most valuable tools when it comes to keeping his herd faithful beyond the point of reason. The more ridiculous the orders and demands, the more extreme the sacrifice and threat of punishment, the more loyal, faithful and adamant they will become.
It’s a sad circumstance, but there are moments of clarity that occur and that is when and how the spell can be broken. The Aftermath can and will help. It will always be out there. A click on a remote, or on a keypad away. During those moments of clarity, they will be receptive and many will wake up and see the destruction that has happened to their lives, and many will take the necessary steps to recovery, just like those who have done so with any other destructive addiction. I know that things are at a turning point. This blog and others like it, Going Clear, Aftermath, all the books, and so on and so on…
It is going to change!
Well, they won’t be approaching ‘wogs’ around the aquarium property or using it for an additional plaground for TC. . Clearwater City Council voted last night 5-0 to purchase the land that is so coveted by Miscavige and the CoS. A WIN FOR THE WOGS!
Now that you have been awarded the Middle Finger Award from the City of Clearwater, you can get on with your agenda to hunker your cult down to Christian Science Reading Room mode. With the City owning that plot, be sure to order that all windows of The Fort Harrison and Oak Cove be covered up with butcher paper.
Moving on, the MS-13 Gang is progressing well in the process of being named a terrorist organization; but don’t fret, your small fry cult is on the lineup also. The Justice department is still being manned up, and purged of the deadwood and CICSers.
Are you and Lou wearing your thongs in your SoCal backyard at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival this weekend? Hit us up and we will introduce both of you. You will get your 15 minutes of flame.
I swear I heard the scotch glass smash on the wall all the way here in NY when the vote came down yesterday. Off to the hole with you Midget, you have failed yet again!!
Yo Dave,
Take your stinkin 15 million and shove it where it matters the most ………….. yep, you get the idea. I’m sure it’s because You are so Oh Tea good buddy.
Translated into wog terminology ………. We do not want any of Your begged and or stolen money!
Dave, face it, you’re an insufferable asshole. You have asshole woven into your DNA. It’s almost like you were a mistake. That you shouldn’t have been born. But, since you were born, realize that everything you’ve done is falling apart. Quickly.
And, Mr. Cruise, AKA “And Then There Is Me” is just gonna feel sooo bad that he and Big Being #2 failed to shatter this latest dose of suppression to planetary expansion dished out by the City of Clearwater. ATTIM may even move back to LA, a town that knows how to treat a star of his magnitude. Gee, don’t feel bad! Tom, don’t go! Clearwater needs you. Flog needs you. Big Being #2 desperately needs you. Don’t desert your group! Get yourself a handling. Scientology can help you with this. Get yourself a little 14 year old E O from Czechoslovakia who can really duplicate the situation and help you to apply the tech so next time you can really confront and shatter these SPs!
I know what you’re thinking Dave, did I fire 5 shots or 6. To tell you the truth, with all this commotion , I kind of lost track myself. But seeing this is 45 caliber Magnum and can blow your head clean off. You’ve got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well do you punk?
There was a movie once made in the early 60’s called, ‘The Long and the Short and the Tall.” A WW2 jungle story of a British Unit caught behind Japanese lines where most of the protagonists ended up being killed. It represents many aspects of sacrifice for what they believed in but never expected it to be real or brought to account. In the case of Scientology, the deception of demand for loyalty knows no bounds exampled by the lies they tell, but the sacrifice is just as real. Fuck Scientology!
He doesn’t yet realize that from the time he was born it was implanted in his mind that joining the Sea Org was his “whole track purpose”. He doesn’t realize this yet. But he will.
We are the big chumps, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting till the end

Time after time.
I’ve done my A to E
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes ‒
I’ve made a few.
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through.
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
We are the SPs, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the SPs.
We are the SPs.
No time for Xenusers
‘Cause we are the SPs of the world.
I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and sympathy and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it’s been no bed of roses,
No Freewinds cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose.
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
We are the SPs, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the SPs.
We are the SPs.
No time for Xenusers
‘Cause we are the SPs of the world.
We are the SPs, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the SPs.
We are the SPs.
No time for Xenusers
‘Cause we are the SPs.
If you’re afraid to walk down to the intersection of Colorado Bl and Raymond Ave, where the foot traffic is massive, you’re never going to Clear the planet, let alone the universe.
Hang in there, young dude!
It’s only two and a half years and then you’re done.
When your contract is up, just blow. Don’t route off staff using the routing form because they’ll just drag out the process in the hopes that you’ll sign another staff contract.
Best of luck, young dude.
Sincerely,
A former contracted staff member.
That’s true. But, he wants to stay in, he’ll have to pay his freeloader debt.
And that’s another thing. You could have worked your ass off while in, but, if you leave early, you’re a freeloader. That’s really fucked up. When I left staff in Hawai’i, I never paid my so called freeloader debt.
How about an alternate route? Tear that paper up and walk out. I forgot, they won’t let you see it now that you have signed it. Better still, just walk the fuck outta that place while raising the middle finger and smiling!

There was a movie once made in the early 60’s called, ‘The Long and the Short and the Tall.” A WW2 jungle story of a British Unit caught behind Japanese lines where most of the protagonists ended up being killed. It represents many aspects of sacrifice for what they believed in but never expected it to be real or brought to account. In the case of Scientology, the deception of demand for loyalty knows no bounds exampled by the lies they tell, but the sacrifice is just as real. Fuck Scientology!
Old Surfer Dude says
The Long and the Short and the Tall. How did you know that that’s my favorite clothing store? Man, I Yawn, your good!
Wynski says
Nicely improved OSD!

Doesn’t know why he joined staff! That sounds frighteningly realistic.
Aquamarine says
He doesn’t yet realize that from the time he was born it was implanted in his mind that joining the Sea Org was his “whole track purpose”. He doesn’t realize this yet. But he will.

We are the big chumps, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting till the end
We are the big chumps, we are the big chumps
No time for reason ’cause we are the big chumps
Of the world
The Dark Avenger says
I’ve paid my dues
Time after time.
I’ve done my A to E
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes ‒
I’ve made a few.
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through.
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
We are the SPs, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the SPs.
We are the SPs.
No time for Xenusers
‘Cause we are the SPs of the world.
I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and sympathy and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it’s been no bed of roses,
No Freewinds cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose.
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
We are the SPs, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the SPs.
We are the SPs.
No time for Xenusers
‘Cause we are the SPs of the world.
We are the SPs, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the SPs.
We are the SPs.
No time for Xenusers
‘Cause we are the SPs.

……..and WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT GO RIGHT TO ENFORCE OUR CULT THINK ON THIS PLANET!
MM says
Make it go right. LRH
Make it uptight. DM
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Old Surfer Dude says
Make it uptight & outta sight. Que the 70s musi…
Old Surfer Dude says
If you’re afraid to walk down to the intersection of Colorado Bl and Raymond Ave, where the foot traffic is massive, you’re never going to Clear the planet, let alone the universe.
alcoboyy says
Hang in there, young dude!
It’s only two and a half years and then you’re done.
When your contract is up, just blow. Don’t route off staff using the routing form because they’ll just drag out the process in the hopes that you’ll sign another staff contract.
Best of luck, young dude.
Sincerely,
A former contracted staff member.
April says
The contract is bullshit. He can walk away at any time.
Old Surfer Dude says
That’s true. But, he wants to stay in, he’ll have to pay his freeloader debt.
And that’s another thing. You could have worked your ass off while in, but, if you leave early, you’re a freeloader. That’s really fucked up. When I left staff in Hawai’i, I never paid my so called freeloader debt.
WhatAreYourCrimes says
Leave, and just don’t pay. That is the best advice.
Can’t get blood from a rock, Miscavige, as hard as you suck at it.
Old Surfer Dude says
LOL! Nice.
Newcomer says
How about an alternate route? Tear that paper up and walk out. I forgot, they won’t let you see it now that you have signed it. Better still, just walk the fuck outta that place while raising the middle finger and smiling!
Old Surfer Dude says
Don’t forget laughing! They hate to be mocked. Stupid cult…
john johnson says
“free auditing” lol
Old Surfer Dude says
They say “free auditing,” but, what you get is free Sec Checks…..actually you have to pay for that too.
MM says
The price of “freedom”: constant obeisance, constant willingness to donate. There is no other price.
Aquamarine says
“…constant obeisance, constant willingness to donate.”
Now, THIS is funny
MM says
Thanks Aqua, that’s about how it is. And “big being” Dave is playing the game of ‘Let’s all you guys be slaves and I’ll be master.”
I Yawnalot says
Nail meet hammer.
