Ha Ha Ha, oh the lingo in scientology… it is so awesome seeing “Regraded Being” lampoon the bullsh** spouted out of the mouths of the poor victims of scientology.
The sad truth of this cartoon is that pigs in the blanket are honestly such bottom of the food chain type food. If you go to a true real world event or fundraiser, the food would be more spinach artichoke dip with an assortment of baugettes and vegetables and fresh fruit trays with yogurt dip at the lowest level on the food chain ($25-100 donation) and unpronounceable delicacies and champagne passed around on trays by tailcoated waiters at the higher levels $500-several hundred thousand dollar donation).
In scientology, you are expected to part with hundreds of thousands of dollars for pigs in a blanket, and the people who serve you the pigs in the blanket are drooling over the fact that they even exist because they are far and above the quality of the food they experience in their day-to-day lives.
Forget pigs in a blanket; I attended many New Year’s Eve events where we were told to dress in Black Tie, and then served Baked Ziti out of foil pans at the buffet table. Talk about cheap! For this we had to dress up, so we could sit thru 3 hours of video and then stand in line for a plate of cheap red sauce macaroni.
“We’re above the stupid wog law…” I guess they’ve done away with Hubbard’s policy to “follow the laws of the land.” That policy only gets followed when you don’t need to be above the law, right?
BTW–how do escaped people get their passports back? I never had a passport and never had to endure that fight. It must be like pulling teeth to get it back once you’ve gotten the heck out. Do they have to get a new one?
Amazing how they can do out ethics things and justify them, while also demeaning others for *their* out ethics. On the other hand, I can understand the motivation. ANYTHING for some decent food!
It’s a little exaggerated, Mark, but really not that much. Real Sea Org-speak is about 50% expletives. And they really are that clueless, especially the second generation Scientologists.
Kinda, sorta, yes. When you’ve been on beans and rice for 3 weeks due to down statistics the prospect of little snacks will make you do silly things. Cigarettes are traded like jailhouse currency for sure. It is both out-exchange and against etiquette policy (Flag Order 38) to just bum smokes from a friend, so they become a traded commodity in the Sea Org.
Are there any nonsmokers in the deep culture of Co$? I’m a never-in myself, though I have read a fair amount of what escapees have written over the years, including all the books by Ex-Scienos and reporters written in or translated into English that I have been able to find. That’s one thing I’ve never seen addressed.
I was in the Sea Org at the International Base for 20 years. Doing a rough mental survey of the folks I knew, about a third to a half were smokers. It was probably a higher ratio at the Big Blue in LA. I never smoked.
Fun facts: most I knew “rolled their own” using cheap tobacco and Zig Zag papers, but those super strong cigarettes called “Gauloises” were also popular for those who could afford them. Others smoked unfiltered Camels. I never saw a pack of Kools, the menthols that Hubbard supposedly preferred, except on his desk in the little shrine they keep for him in every Scientology location called “Ron’s Office”.
I was on the Event Crew, those who fly with Dave Miscavige to do the event setups, shoot them and so on. One of the crew would always buy cartons of cigarettes at the Duty Free shops, or in some third world country where they were cheap, and sell them at the Int Base.
There are also those who get their nicotine fix by chewing tobacco. My guess is maybe one in ten or so, possibly less. But the habit is so disgusting to watch that it seems like more. You can buy all the fixings for tobacco use at the little internal company stores called “Canteens”. Every Sea Org installation has some form of this, in some little out of the way closet or room where the public Scientologists never go.
I had a friend who told me he had quit smoking, but then started again during a really stressful situation on a Sea Org “Mission” (group of three or four Sea Org members assigned to complete some well defined task, often in a remote location). Smoking sort of relieves stress, I guess, but at a pretty high price. But then you get the stress of being addicted. Never made sense to me.
At the Int Base they light up outside, the Base is pretty spread out so there is time to smoke on the way to the dining hall or after a meal. At the Big Blue a lot of smoking happens in the Fire Escape stairwells, also some social interactions, so it is a sort of hang-out for younger members. Also you used to be able to see them every meal, smoking on the landing at the top of the stairs that lead out near Lebanon Hall on the Catalina Street side of the Big Blue. Since some intrepid photographers started shooting this scene I think they had to stop doing that. On the Freewinds there is a ladder near the mess hall (“Galley”) that leads up to the aft well deck, and folks go there to smoke.
The legend is that Hubbard was a smoker, though I think it is possible he quit while he was on the run in California near the end of his life. And of course he made the famous statement that the reason people get lung cancer is that they don’t smoke enough. This is not as ridiculous as it sounds in the context of the early 50s. They actually confused the words “Nicotine” with “Nicotonic Acid” or niacin and thought that you could deliver niacin to the lungs by smoking. Thus preventing disease.
Hubbard was a big fan of niacin, from the “Guk Bombs” (mostly niacin) of the 50s to “combat radiation sickness” all the way through to the massive overdoses of niacin still given today on the “Purification Rundown”. Niacin makes you flush, just the way radiation does, so it must be doing something good (or so the “thinking” goes). It is not too surprising that his followers still honor that World War II era tradition.
Did you know that man Klensch (maybe spelling is wrong) who is supposed to be in the hole? I think if a missing person report was done for every person they have locked up like Leah did for Shelley and the police would have to go to Scientology every time a missing person’s report was made, then they would take it more seriously. I feel so sad for these people locked up in “the hole” or RPF and no one misses them. How could no one miss them? How could no one care about where they are? I mean I can’t believe the Freedom of Religion thing is holding this up. They went after the Mormon’s for plural marriage and none one stuck up for them. No, this is about deep pockets, the LAPD and Florida police being paid off and people actually being afraid of fair game. The Mormon’s didn’t pay people off and no one was afraid of people like Warren Jeffs. If all this shit is going on in Scientology then there are ways to use the law to stop them!
Warren Jeffs isn’t a member of the mainstream Mormon church. He was the leader of a fanatical, vile breakaway group called the FLDS.
You probably know this but just wanted to clarify. The mainstream Mormon church would excommunicate anyone found to be engaging in polygamy, despite the fact it was practiced up until about 120 years ago. It’s a major source of embarrassment for the Church — and rightfully so.
As far as SOME of the FLDS groups go, the local Police ARE members of FLDS. They have let things slide because they benefit from it. Jeffs is in prison for the rape of a child, one being his 12 yr old “bride”. Jeffs “spiritually married” some 75 women & young girls & has fathered many children with them.
Keep in mind these females are RAISED or born into this, they are trained to live like this & to obey what they are told to do. When the government came in & removed the “wives” & children due to suspected abuse…..they were later returned to their compound & they WANTED to go back to live there since it’s all they’ve ever known.
Teen boys are basically thrown out of the group because they would be competition with the older men for the young girls as brides. The MOST loyal men “get the young women”….the teen boys are thrown out with nothing but the clothes on their back, no money, no place to live, no food nothing.
The Kingston Polygamy group’s leader Daniel Kingston is the father of some 150 children form 12 + wives, most of whom live in poverty. The group is presently in LEGAL trouble over Food Stamp FRAUD.
Please try to read the book “The Witness Wore Red”…written by one of the former members who was married to Rolon (sp) Jeffs and when he passed away, she was then to Warren Jeffs.
I have to say that I don’t understand the comment “no one was afraid of Warren Jeffs” – I feel that statement is totally inaccurate. Please search for news stories about Jeffs to see this or read one of the revelatory books by ex-members: “Lost Boy” by Brent Jeffs or “Church of Lies” by Flora Jessop, “Escape” by Carloyn Jessop or any one of the other books out there.
Warren Jeffs is serving 20 years to life for child abuse and other criminal activity, and is still issuing ridiculous abusive proclamations and instructions from his jail cell.
The cult of the FLDS is an unrecognized offshoot of the mainstream Mormon church (whose members do not practice polygamy) and FLDS members are subjected to horrendous abuses, mainly because almost 100 percent of the members are born into it, third generation or more, and do not have contact with the outside world, rather are kept in isolated compounds their entire lives, and denied higher education, it’s not uncommon for girls to be removed from school after 8th grade, and the schooling they do get in any case is in FLDS-only schools, teachings mainly concerned with how to practice their own religion. Warren Jeffs himself ran one of the largest FLDS schools, was both the Principal and a teacher there.
Ex-members tell of how he was building a huge walled compound in Texas, with sound-proof rooms where he would carry out sexual rituals with young girls, and a temple where he intended to hold ‘blood atonement’ ceremonies (killings). On the scale of abusive, harmful, totalitarian leaders, he’s right up there near the top, under Kim Jong un of North Korea.
Anyone who cares about human rights issues, preventing child abuse and human trafficking, and helping people to break free of mind-controlled harmful groups, would do well to look into any group that violates human rights, including the Church of Scientology and the FLDS under the criminal Warren Jeffs.
RB all I can do is bow before your amazing talent & the way you put it all together. What you show is the icy cruel reality of Life in the Sea Org and how it is “the Lord of the Flies” but with Scientologists screwing up their lives and still trying to set the hook in the dwindling publics mouth. So many many hurt and wrecked spirits have been thrown into the waste pits by the highest members of the cult. In all areas. From my heart thank you for still sending your voice ahead of us as we all deal with the destruction this “church” lives by each day.?
Yo Dave,
Another day and another scab torn off the knuckles of $cientology. Keep on beatin and keep on bleedin Dave, you be da man dat knows how to do it best good buddy!
BTW, howz last weeks stat push Dave. Look for more of the same.
Yes, pigs-in-a-blanket are awesome (the real kind, not the cut-up hot dogs wrapped in bread kind). What I wish they would realize is that if they would just apply their hard-working “ethic” for a job in the real world, they would be able to afford as many pigs-in-a-blanket as they could consume at any one time. Oh, and they would STILL have plenty of time left over to do whatever else it is they fancy (such as finding and hanging out with non-judgemental friends who won’t report them for having their own opinion, which would get them sent in for a sec-check and a likely stint on the RPF).
So stop worrying about us out here on the outside. We appreciate your desire to “fight for our human rights”, but you’re a human as well and you deserve those rights just like the rest of us. I can assure you, we humans are doing just fine out here, especially by comparison to you and your friends on the inside.
And if human rights are your main concern, there are MANY more ways and MUCH better ways that you can support that cause in the real world besides having to spend your time worrying about guarding potential defectors who might blow (whose own human rights are being abused), worrying about sneaking food while others are trying to shake folks down for “donations” (money that you will never see, despite your hard work to make it happen), and trying to figure out a way to get a fair exchange for a few cigarettes and a couple of sips of coffee (you’ll have plenty of money to buy that stuff as well with a decent job in the real world).
The real world offers much better “In Exchange” for your hard work. You will find out just how “Able” you really are. So please……”duplicate” me!
They call the other kind “Weiner Wraps”…..a frankfurter (hot dog) rolled up in an unbaked crescent roll, tossed in the oven and baked for about 10 to 15 minutes
.
REAL “pigs in the blanket” are either ground pork or beef mixed with rice, spices, egg to bind it together…and then rolled in a “cabbage leaf”….. the Polish call them “Glumka…Golumke” etc…..
I make them on occasion….LOTS of work but sooo good.
This is one healthy dose of Sea bOrg reality. It has all the parts of Stalag 17 (William Holden version) with even a Stalag 13 (Sargent Schultz) character. Now, who is digging the tunnel? Charles Bronson (Great Escape) can’t do everything.
We can see what an important job they are doing discussing vital things like the size of the hot dogs. This is definitely sea org think, I couldn’t believe how petty they were when I experienced them first hand, their thinking had been reduced to arguments you might expect in a third world country.
Third World countries are ruled by dictators. The SO is ruled by a dictator. The mindset is similar. Fascistic. You’re guilty until proven innocent, and so on.
“Somebody some day will say ‘this is illegal.’ By then be sure the orgs [Scientology organizations] say what is legal or not.”
– L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 4 January 1966, “LRH Relationship to Orgs”
Patience; meanwhile, let’s not beat down on the IRS, as we’ll need them on our side in time. Bravery on their part will come after a while, especially if we encourage them.
Theirs is a hard job and they’re doing it. The people they face day to day are not the best of people. The sense of humor was the earliest casualty, I’m sure!
WOG stands for Worth Oriental Gentleman and is meant, in scientology, to be a derogatory term for anyone who is not a scientologist. In the real world it used to be used as a racial slur in some countries.
I always assumed the term originated when the British occupied
Hong Kong.”Us” and “them”, so to speak. Also in the film “Lawerrnce of Arabia” ,
Lawrence played by Peter O’Toole is reprimanded for ” bringing a Wog into the officers club”.
From Wikipedia:
Wog
Page issues
For other uses, see WOG (disambiguation). Wog is a slang word in the idiom of Australian English and British English, usually employed as an ethnic or racial slur and considered derogatory and offensive.empahsis mine
In British English, wog is an offensive racial slur usually applied to black, Middle Eastern or South Asian/Maritime Southeast Asian peoples. In Australian English, wog is a term used as a racial slur mostly for people from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region in general, including the Mediterranean region of the Middle East (i.e. the Eastern Mediterranean or the Levant and North Africa).
In Hub-speak: Anyoene who isn’t a Scientologist. Us and Them. Wog-world:Where insanity, criminality and war run rampant through the streets, and able beings have no rights.
I don’t use the term, because I consider it an ethnic or racial slur and that offends my sense of how intelliegent, respectful people speak. However, I’m pretty sure it’s better to be one, than to be someone who looks down on the rest of us DBs (debased beings).
dungeon master, thanks for providing that definition.
I think that use of “wog” was one of the sort of arrogant, nasty jokes Hubbard seemed to like to play on his followers, such as older children play on younger ones who haven’t wisened up, in this case teaching them a “bad” word they (Americans) won’t be likely to know, giving them a false definition that makes it sound like something good to say, and then watching in cynical amusement as they go out and use it.
Another one bites the dust! I know of two more and one is even on a course as we speak!!!
Yo Dave,
If you knew just how many ‘parishioners’ there are that are out but silent you would have a bowel movement on the spot. This will henceforth be known as ‘daveshit’.

Seeing how they treat their members, the SO does seem like a third world country.
Aquamarine says
Third World countries are ruled by dictators. The SO is ruled by a dictator. The mindset is similar. Fascistic. You’re guilty until proven innocent, and so on.

“Ethics is way above any stupid wog law”.
Really?
Down with the cult! Down with the cult!

That’s straight out of CO$ scripture.
“Somebody some day will say ‘this is illegal.’ By then be sure the orgs [Scientology organizations] say what is legal or not.”
– L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 4 January 1966, “LRH Relationship to Orgs”

Hitler would have been proud…

The IRS should read your strips RB. Oh! But wait! They won’t get it. I think more than two brain cells are required for a sense of humor.
James Morris says
Patience; meanwhile, let’s not beat down on the IRS, as we’ll need them on our side in time. Bravery on their part will come after a while, especially if we encourage them.
Theirs is a hard job and they’re doing it. The people they face day to day are not the best of people. The sense of humor was the earliest casualty, I’m sure!
Newcomer says
I think that is why El Con wrote the ‘Jokers and Degraders’ bulletin. By that time he couldn’t take a joke either. Dildo Dave never could.
Old Surfer Dude says
I did a bit of joking & degrading in the Lemon Tree restaurant back in ’82. The staff was staring daggers at me.
Spike says
I was on staff at AOLA the morning that Jokers and Degraders was released. There was a definite chill in the air after that.
McCarran says
Yup. No sense of humor in this group for sure.
Shelley Taylor Wilcome Trinh says
That was a good one, I’m not a Scientologist, what’s a WOG? I’m sure it’s not good lol
OutAndAbout says
WOG stands for Worth Oriental Gentleman and is meant, in scientology, to be a derogatory term for anyone who is not a scientologist. In the real world it used to be used as a racial slur in some countries.
OutAndAbout says
Sorry, that should read WORTHY Oriental Gentleman
Joetheta says
I always assumed the term originated when the British occupied
Hong Kong.”Us” and “them”, so to speak. Also in the film “Lawerrnce of Arabia” ,
Lawrence played by Peter O’Toole is reprimanded for ” bringing a Wog into the officers club”.
McCarran says
You are a WOG. Lol
(A non scientologist is a WOG.)
Old Surfer Dude says
It was a slight. WOG: Worthy Oriental Gentleman.

From Wikipedia:
Wog
Page issues
For other uses, see WOG (disambiguation).
Wog is a slang word in the idiom of Australian English and British English, usually employed as an ethnic or racial slur and considered derogatory and offensive. empahsis mine
In British English, wog is an offensive racial slur usually applied to black, Middle Eastern or South Asian/Maritime Southeast Asian peoples. In Australian English, wog is a term used as a racial slur mostly for people from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region in general, including the Mediterranean region of the Middle East (i.e. the Eastern Mediterranean or the Levant and North Africa).
In Hub-speak: Anyoene who isn’t a Scientologist. Us and Them. Wog-world:Where insanity, criminality and war run rampant through the streets, and able beings have no rights.
I don’t use the term, because I consider it an ethnic or racial slur and that offends my sense of how intelliegent, respectful people speak. However, I’m pretty sure it’s better to be one, than to be someone who looks down on the rest of us DBs (debased beings).
My two cents.
thegman77 says
I fully agree on your last paragraph.
PeaceMaker says
dungeon master, thanks for providing that definition.
I think that use of “wog” was one of the sort of arrogant, nasty jokes Hubbard seemed to like to play on his followers, such as older children play on younger ones who haven’t wisened up, in this case teaching them a “bad” word they (Americans) won’t be likely to know, giving them a false definition that makes it sound like something good to say, and then watching in cynical amusement as they go out and use it.

Newcomer says
Another one bites the dust! I know of two more and one is even on a course as we speak!!!
Yo Dave,
If you knew just how many ‘parishioners’ there are that are out but silent you would have a bowel movement on the spot. This will henceforth be known as ‘daveshit’.
McCarran says
