The old tone scale always looked like a ranking of how likely the victim would be to donate $$$ to Scn. I think it’s time for a new scale. Technically there should be a ‘V’ shaped scale for the path in and the path out but here’s a first cut:
40.0 – Scn and COB assets liquidated to compensate former parishioners
30.0 – Primetime COB perp walk
22.0 – Out of Scn along with all friends & family
20.0 – Regs have lost your address, phone number and email
8.0 – Paying off the last of your debt
4.0 – Training an angry squirrel to attack anyone wearing ‘squirrel buster’ attire
3.5 – Reconnect with family
3.3 – Placing aged doggy-doo in the trash for the Scn snoops
3.0 – Making enough money to buy TP, toothpaste and new underwear and rent an apartment
2.9 – Waiting to be Declared
2.8 – Blown for good
2.4 – Catching up on 27 years of the outside world. Learn there are multiple flavors of Oreos and more than 2 types of M&Ms
2.0 – Blown
1.9 – Trying to make 15 people look like 500 in an event photograph
1.3 – Buying your 7th copy of the updated Battlefield Earth bound in Psychlo leather
1.2 – Lying on a credit card application to sink yourself further into debt
1.1 – Shattering Suppression by telling lies about people on the internet using a false identity
0.98 – Realizing paying off your debt is mathematically impossible in this lifetime
0.94 – Having Fair Weather, Good Roads conversation with someone you want to hug
0.5 – 27 years into a Billion year contract
0.1 – Trying to convince the internet you’re the victim of religious persecution
0.07 – Routed for Ethics Handling
0.05 – Disconnected
0.03 – White glove cleaning an LRH portrait and wondering why he hasn’t returned yet
0.01 – Someone you love passed and you can’t get leave for the funeral
0.0 – RPF’d
I’m so pleased that I have actual goldenrod on me. I’m old school, really deserved it, from before the time when the number of SPs exceeded the technical theoretical maximum.
I for one am missing those Terra essays. But, there is only so much one can write about. Just have to appreciate it when it’s there then move on. Mike, maybe you could add those essays to the menu line at the top of your site so anyone can have easy access to those excellent articles.
I think that’s a great idea. I want to access RBs earlier posts about the street where the org is located and around it are businesses called ‘Wiseguys Investments’ or ‘ARCX Loans’. Those panels used to crack me up!
Perhaps they think the more people leave, the more proof the psychs are really attacking and therefore Hubbard was right?

I love how RB references the lack of Declares. And how many people leave. RB is just so topical. Even when it’s an oldie.

And I had a fun time writing them, Ms. B.
Still not Declared,

Why settle for a front porch?
How about an Outhouse of Infinity?
How about an outhouse?
