Something called the EUS Leadership Project is selecting L. Ron Hubbard quotes they think sound profound.
This first one is simply bizarre.
And here is another in a similar vein:
But this third one is the charm.
It takes the “Superior Being” concept to a whole new level:
Who do they think this appeals to? Leftovers from the Third Reich?
And what is the EUS Leadership Project? I can only guess that EUS still has a bunch of orgs that must have a ribbon yanking ceremony. Most of them already have buildings – some for decades. That’s the easy part. What they don’t have is people. And many of these locations have so few scientologists in their area even if they recruited every person in the field for staff they wouldn’t have enough staff to keep the doors open (and no public at all). So it would appear to be some centralized effort to round up people to try to man these empty orgs from anywhere they can get them. This is what they did in Detroit, Orlando and elsewhere.
They are really having to scrape the bottom of the scientology barrel.
That is always a good thing. They are running out of victims. There’s a long way to go, but the trend is unmistakable. Scientology is like the KMart of abusive cults. Once a large presence, now the object of jokes and almost extinct. Of course, one big distinction, scientology was never cheap.
FP, I hear that there might a line of full body rubber wear with Lub O’tard’s body and face printed on it. You could buy a set and wear it to bed at night and curl up in your bed covered by genuine O’tard sheets and blankets as you gaze adoringly at your O’tard wallpaper as the soothing tones of O’tard speechs help you drift off to sleep.
Laughter! 😂
“Wog” is being redefined from its use in Scientology here by several commenters to suit their nasty agendas. Mike knows, Wynski knows, Jere Lull knows, I know and anyone who has been involved in Scientology knows, that the term was never used in a racist context. So do shutup! Or are you going to continue lying to suit your agendas?
You are so predictable FP. Your personality is such an example of the reactive mind. You are constantly triggered and constantly in a war with your own thoughts. You never engage you always blame.
These are the traits Ron has imprinted into your mind:
Blame
Hate
Nastiness
Desire to harm
Arrogant superiority
Ugliness
Inability to communicate
Machine like reactivity to criticism
A totally scripted personality
There is no original thought in you FP. It’s all the words of Ron controlling you like a puppet.
I hope one day you can see through it. You will. Maybe not in this life.
“Maybe not in this life”.
People who are certain they’ve lived many lives before, and will continue to live more lives. will surely be saddened and supremely disappointed if we only get this one life, which I suspect is the case. No one on this Earth can possibly know for sure.
Google children with past life recall. I am not a materialist. I experience and believe in the spiritual side of life.
Google child stories of past life recall. Acquire knowledge and bypass blind belief and blind doubt. They are both the same psychology.
What makes you certain?
Experience. I made the experiment in myself. I don’t evangelize my experience. It’s my experience.
An inexhaustible curiosity and relentless meditation brings the information into one’s purview.
I don’t have blind belief and I don’t have blind doubt. I investigate, experiment and cone to my own conclusion.
If you are interested you can google the many instances of children having past life recall.
Blind belief and blind doubt get in the way of directly knowing.
Be a researcher on your own.
A disciplined daily life of meditation can help in understanding these things. It takes a lifetime.
My question was intended for Katherine.
Thanks for clarification Scribe
Scribe—
I’m not certain. Like I said, no one can know for sure.
And Katherine, how can something be disappointed that does not exist? It takes conscious awareness to be disappointed. And if your dead then there is no awareness from your point of view.
Inherent in your question may be an unconscious knowing that you are a soul. I’m not saying it is, I’m say it could be.
Hey Brian —
I was just trying to make a point about $cientologists being so certain that past and future lives exist — even if I made it poorly.
Yes, I absolutely get what you’re saying.
I am much more spiritual than religious. Almost all organized religions get on my nerves.
Boy texting sure can be a nebulous way of communication. Thank you also for clarification Katherine
But Brian, I thought you were not going to go all “ad hominem”? Didn’t last long did it? So why don’t we stick to the theme and don’t worry about slinging mud in my direction eh? Are we going to get one your grovelling apologies now for using ad hominem remarks? Wynski has finally admitted it wasn’t racist, Mike also, so – what’s your beef now?
Ha ha! You are so cute FP. Here’s a kiss💋
I tried dialoguing with you a while back. You simply can’t. So I don’t try.
It’s not the reason you are here.
Well, if you call what you wrote above as “dialoguing”, you’d better get back to your meditation, or your medication.
May you be filled with love and joy FP. May you be overwhelmed with happiness and wisdom.
DIPSHIT aka Foolproof. Wog like nigger was/is a RACIST term used chiefly in the British empire LONG before Hubtard took it up and continuing today.
Hubtard borrowed ther term WOG and used it as a bigoted term to mean non-scientologists. Scientologists according to Hubtard were the tops in IQ humanity wise.
At last Wynski is telling the truth, after being pressed to do so of course. Yes it means essentially non-Scientologists. Ah! But I thought you said it was “racist”? And yes, my IQ is enormous – haha!
It IS a racist term you idiot. Just like nigger is. It is now obvious that your IQ is <80. Hubtard just sought to use it to deride people who weren't his own created Übermensch.
Oh! For Christ’s sake – no one said it wasn’t a racist term, but in Scientology it was never used so. Ok now – IDIOT!
Stool Poop is in the unenviable position of defending Hubbard’s well documented history of deceit, which is about as ludicrous as Göring proclaiming Hitler a humanitarian.
Why can’t you keep your wandering attention on the theme instead of broadening the ad hominem remarks?
Like I said Stool, start that YouTube comedy channel!
FP —
Why is it ok for you to make ad hominem remarks, but not ok for everyone else?
Cuz he’s got the tech. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Scribe—
That, and his colossal hypocrisy.
So…. then it’s basically like Hubbard redefining and flat out changing the definitions of words to suit his agenda?
Homo Novis: the species that became extinct before it ever made an appearance.
And the way miscavige rules the cult ensures that there will be an end to that as well….
Homo Nitwit.
Mike is right on the money. In my former org, there were about 30 active members and that’s being generous – very generous. This org has yet to go Ideal, which is, assuredly, their excuse for why they’re shrinking, but never mind, let’s say for argument’s sake they’re right. Let’s say they recruited EVERY active public for staff. The existing staff at that time was about 20, so add 30 to that and you get 50 staff, and no public!
Oh, but wait! I forgot. They’ve got that covered.
Once the org goes Ideal, NEW public will FLOOD IN.
And of course, anyone off lines, anyone who’s been off the bridge for any length of time will be inexorably DRAWN back…there’s something about an Ideal Org building that is MAGNETIC, it just DRAWS people to it…”Build it, and they will come”…omg.
Once more, shaking my head in bewilderment/annoyance/amazement.
Superior Being MY ASS 🤣 If that photo of L Rob Hubbard is what you should look like once you breach the Flaming Wall Of Shit at OT III and climb the Turd Ladder to OT VIII then keep the FUCK away from me with that $cientology Shit.
LOOK at that FREAK. Where’s the sawdust in his hair? He looks like he stumbled out of a freak show at a carnival where he’s the Main Attraction. 🤣🤪
Ok, we get it. We realize the picture of Hubbard is pretty gross and shows what state he was in. Even I made fun of it a time or two. But it seems like every post you make goes on & on about it. He died in seclusion, paranoid and suffering from ailments although he was so-called “Source” and claimed to have all the answers.
But there are hundreds of reasons why Hubbard was a cruel, heartless and narcissistic son of a bitch who is beneath contempt — none of which have anything to do with his appearance.
Lady it has EVERYTHING to do with his appearance. If he is the acme of superiority, the king Of scientology, an OT VIII and — he looks like THAT — then yes how he looks is CRITICALLY important and an issue. The fact that he looks like an old wet guy sprung goat dragged in out of a rainstorm should inform cult members that, hey, maybe this shit ain’t dope after all.
What I’m trying to say is that his looks have much less to do with his vile behavior. His character, utter lack of respect for people, and cruel policies are due to much more than his looks.
There’s no need to argue. You’re entitled to your own opinion. And you don’t need to call me “Lady” like that — it comes across as condescending.
Let’s not go back & forth w/ this. Like I said, you’re entitled to your own opinion.
I was never involved in the cult. But I do know that the majority of remaining $ci’s have never seen that pic.
Miss Katherine still doesn’t get it, does she Tom Cruise Can Blow Me however I do as I’m sure most everyone else who is reading this does including the Scientology Animatronic Robot David Miscavige. Will someone box him up and ship him back to Amazon for a full refund please? Clearly he’s a Defective Unit that has zero mastery over MEST, and is stuck somewhere close to the bottom of the LEGO Limited Edition Bridge to Total Bullshit.
Funny how you keep changing your username.
I assume you’re just trolling now to try to get a reaction.
My replies to you have been polite and civil. But you’ve been a bit rude.
I don’t need to continue to argue this point with you. Make a post and ask how many people agree that that bastard’s looks have much to do with his character, cruelty, narcissism, and need to enslave/control.
So I guess you’re not going to make a post asking if anyone agrees that Hubbard’s appearance has much to do with his vile character and cruelty?
FOOLproof, in an attempt to attack SOMEone or SOMEthing, rained about ‘attempts’ to ‘define’ “wog” as racist. Just as an exercise, I looked it up with a right-click:
“wog |wäg|
nounBrit. offensive
a person who is not white.
ORIGIN 1920s: of unknown origin.”
Not only was the term racist, FOOL, but intentionally offensive, your feeble-minded attempts notwithstanding.
Oops! “rained” was supposed to be ‘railed’. Danged auto-correct!
Oh! For God’s sake! See the Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary for the term and the way it is used in Scientology. Or ask Mike, who stated tat it was not used in a racist way. Go back to your personal drawing board or agenda and find something else.
I said it was more all encompassing than merely racist. Don’t make it sound like I was defending it as benign like you do.
There was no racism involved at all. You’re still trying to sneak that in.
Go back to the beginning of this thread. I never mentioned racism. I mentioned the Third Reich. You injected racism into the discussion.
Do you think everyone but you can’t read?
The essential idea is the same FP. It was a bigoted term meant to devalue a group: non Scientologists.
Meat body homo sapien is another bigoted term. Ron loved cutting off the heads of others to make himself appear tall.
You have that trait too; you are a good student.
And the fact that it is a term of bigotry and racism, and you argue against the truth of this fact, simply reveals your lack of being able to hold concepts in your mind not approved by Scientology think.
Here’s another one still trying to sneak racism in through the backdoor. You just can’t have it can you – all the blustering that it is “racism” – and it never was. As I say, anyone who was in Scientology knows it wasn’t, so no matter how often you keep repeating it, it still won’t change it.
And no matter how much you keep trying to argue that “wog” is a term of endearment, it won’t change a thing.
“Wog is a term of endearment”? What is this now? Who said or implied that? I never did. You’re making this stuff up as you go along! Its use was mildly critical. “Endearment”? What will you think of next to try and hang on to me?
Foolproof, you did not read what I said. Maybe it’s because you can’t conceptualize criticism towards you mental master.
The demonization of critical thinking is demonstrated by your lack of being able to read, like Mike said.
Ok, nix that. You are not here to understand or read. You are here to disrupt and deflect.
And we are the knuckle heads who believe communication will work with you.
The evil you fight FP is your own mind. What you perceive in critics as negative and ugly is simply the reflection of your mind.
Quiet on the set!
Cue deflection and negativity!
FP you are on!
In other words someone challenged your original argument and now it becomes something else, but still trying to sneak racism in under the umbrella of “bigotry” now. which is also totally overblown nonsense.
And numerous souls on here complain of Hubbard’s “bigotry” yet I have never seen such vitriolic rantings and bigotry from the same people.
As I said, you keep digging. Everyone can read the thread of comments for themselves. Don’t you realize that?
I hope they do. You and Wynski now have both stated it wasn’t racist in use. That was all of my point. No more no less. All the blustering of others was trying to obscure or deflect my original remarks.
Mike —
Apparently not.
FP, you argue like a 3 year old. Let me give you an example
FP! You go to your room, you stole cookies!
But mom, Billy stole cookies too!
This is your reasoning. I call it Non Culpability By Comparison.
It’s how little children argue.
When someone points out a fault in Ron, you point out a fault in them.
Somehow, magically, by pointing out a fault in a Ron critic, you make Ron’s flaw magically go away.
You are like the little child, playing hide and seek, who thinks that if they cover their face with their hands, no one will find them.
You are an open book “as per usual”. Mmmmm who uses that term: as per usual?
I wish you well FP.
FP —
I’m replying here because there wasn’t a reply button on your other post to Mike.
Mike joked that you think “wog” is a term of endearment. Obviously, he wasn’t being serious. He was making the point that you defend the definition so much that you may as well call it a term of endearment.
You often criticize and make fun of people who take things literally. Yet, here you are taking Mike’s post literally. Makes sense though, since $cientologists have absolutely no sense of humor.
In fairness to Hubbard, he likely swiped it from the word “pollywog” (tadpole) which was a seafaring term for an inexperienced sailor, one who has not yet crossed the equator. Wogs become “shellbacks” (seaworthy) during Line Crossing Ceremonies, a US Navy tradition that dates back hundreds of years.

This was discussed st great length earlier. It is Hubbard and Scientology that provides the derivation of the term as being Worthy Oriental Gentleman…
Mike, this will hammer the WOG question shut once and for all.
https://neoskosmos.com/en/38329/a-wog-letter-of-love/
Poly wogs appear in many different shapes.
750 idiOT sevens should clear the planet a long time ago. On the ocean the ship “freewind” disappear because of all the theta appering on the ship.
Scientologists able to do much can also make themselves disappear.
Doh! Yes, of course he did.
“And the word wog, of course, is in essence a ‘worthy oriental gentleman’ as been defined by the Royal Air Force. There’s nothing derogatory in being called a wog. As a matter of fact, that was the source of a general order issued in Egypt on the complaint of the Egyptian government. The air force officers were calling Egyptians wogs. So the commanding officer defined it. And he said, ‘Well, wog, that means worthy oriental gentleman,’ and insisted his officers use it. Those were in the days when the Empire wasn’t dead! Anyway, this means a common, ordinary, run-of-the-mill, garden-variety humanoid.” — LRH, from the lecture SCIENTOLOGY DEFINITIONS I: OT AND CLEAR DEFINED, 29 November 1966.
Speaking of the RAF and Egypt, this is an example of a pilot actually using the term back in 1945. He wrote it all in caps, suggesting Hub’s acronym claim has at least some contextual merit…but the negative connotation is still pretty clear.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/88/a2778988.shtml
I agree. Whether it’s used as a racist slur or a supercilious label for those “not even trying”, it’s still otherism rooted in “third dynamic” supremacy.
Cheers for the pushback.
Wogs are non Scientologists or pre Scientologists. All races and ethnicities are welcome. Please go see the registrar.
I think there are enough references to show that Hubbard considered the white race to be intellectually superior. I wonder if he ever met with or associated with any people of color who would be considered brilliant or geniuses by anyone’s standards.
By the time I entered scientology in 1976 I think most scientologists had dropped the idea of any racial, gender or sexual preference superiority, particularly people who had been part of the “psychedelic revolution”. There was still some anti gay sentiment but I did a lot of co auditing with a gay guy and as long as he kept his preference off scientology lines he stayed out of trouble. He attributed being gay to “picking up the wrong body type this time around” and was completely comfortable in his own identity.
No mwesten. It is British. From the O.E.D. : 1.1 A vulgarly offensive name for a foreigner, esp. one of Arab extraction.
1929 F. C. Bowen Sea Slang 153 Wogs, lower class Babu shipping clerks on the Indian coast.
In the book, “Out of Africa” author Isak Dinesen writes of her time as Baroness karen Blixen, owner of a coffee plantation in Kenya, then a British territory, roughly 1910 – 1930. In this autobiographical work, the term “wog” is used by the British Colonials who owned the land and ran things in Kenya at the time, to refer to the African natives – the Kukui, the Masai and the Somali. Baroness Blixen started a school on her property for the children of her coffee plantation workers. Most of her white British neighbors thought this very odd and the colonial officials in Mombassa were against teaching African children to read English and fought her on this even though it was her land to do with as she pleased. When these Colonials used the term “wog” to refer to Africans, it was with contempt. This is just one reference I’m citing here. I know the Scientology definition of “wog” very well. This reference, however, would indicate that the term “wog” at least ORIGINATED as a pejorative term, however it may have subsequently evolved, in Scientology or elsewhere.
Yes Aqua, as I pointed out, it was a racist term from day one. At one point Churchill stated WOGS begin at Calais.
Lol. In other words, anyone not born in England…amazing.
Exactly Aqua. Frigging amazing.

I TRIED, I REALLY TRIED, but failed to come up with some connection between the quotes and anything they were trying to do.
F-A-I-L!
Oh My Gosh! In paging through Mike’s blog today, I saw lion after lion after lion. I was left to wonder whether they all were the same lion. But why would this scam want to show the same lion time after time after time?
It was like, lyin’ after lyin’ after lyin’. Finally it seemed to make sense to me.
What other way is there to better describe the way this scam operates?
Whenever someone asks what is meant by one of these ridiculous posters, the asnwer is almos always they are just lyin’ after lyin’ after lyin’.
Several years ago, I suppose someone discovered that instead of providing any accurate facts or research, it was just so much easier to keep on lyin’ and lyin’ and lyin’.
Eventually, I guess it just got to be second nature. Why bother doing all that hard work to find out good info and stats? It was just so much easier to lie and lie and lie. So much easier and so much less effort required.
Scamatology. Thine name is lying. Didn’t Shakespeare say that?
Shyler observed:
It was like, lyin’ after lyin’ after lyin’. Finally it seemed to make sense to me.”
I might have mentioned before that scientologists lie, must lie, can’t not lie. It’s ‘scripture’, don’cha know.
It seems Chief Lab Rat Ms. Haven’t has recruited another rat for the research maze – you can chew the placebos at the end of the run with Mark, another recruit.
What’s with the lions? Hubbard taught me that only “Tigers” survive.
The lying is normal procedure. It is scripture and straight from Source. See Judge Breckenridge 1984 about Dr. Hubbard the man “has been virtually a pathological liar when it comes to his history, background and achievements”. Nothing to see here.
Damn right. But hey, $cientologists don’t give a shit about facts. They prefer to bathe in delusion.
The superior being? Friedrich Nietzsche explained it better, and he died in an insane asylum. Then if you want to throw in Foolproof as another glittering example – – well, I rest my case.
An arresting thought – you rested your case years ago Chris, or rather it wrested you. As for the rest of you, take a rest from your restless selves – you’ll feel much better, if not rested!
Scientology, blood on its hands
No matter the spin, no matter the stand
It’s all PR, this church of Scam
Scientology, blood on its hands
Nice!
Indeed!
Hey! Why does OSD keep beating me to the punch?
Is this another meting of the Gleefully Misunderstood Club? After the abject failure of trying to define Scientology’s use of the word “wog” as “racist”, Mike is now trying another angle playing the “race” card again and juxtaposing 3rd Reich etc. when it has nothing to do with skin color, but hoping, as per usual, that you fools will take it to mean so, and I see some of you have done so. Just go and peruse a dictionary for the definition here and find something else to squawk about. Mike, you’ve been hob-nobbing with reporters too much and their fallaciousness is rubbing off on you!
BTW the article on the BC was pretty good – now at least that was what an Indie Scientologist would write. The comments weren’t bad either. But this nonsense?
OMG — I did something that FP thought was OK?
Will wonders never cease?
BTW — the notion of the German master-race was not only about skin color. Perhaps it is you who has an MU. A little study of the subject would serve you well. Slavs, including Russians and Ukranians, VERY caucasian peoples, were NOT part of the Master Race of Aryans. Find your misunderstood word.
Lol. Mike, please don’t take the bait. The Foolproof post was ludicrous all by itself.
Also, isn’t there an upvote feature for WordPress blogs? If so, please see about adding it. I’d even register for that.
Love your blog! Daily reading and much appreciation for your years of consistent work on it!
The way I see it is that Mike has spent almost all of his life pouring out his creativity and his ability to manage organizations at a very high level.
Now that he finally blew this scam (Praise The Lord!), what is there for Mike to do that compares with the huge effort he’s been making for so many years. It’s as if he has all this huge pent-up energy that has to go somewhere and there is very few places where he can direct it to go.
He has certainly used some of that energy by producing his TV show with Leah. But, for the most part, I see his huge creativity as having been stifled and his huge creative force as having been stymied. Surely we all must see that Mikd just needs somewhere to pour out all of tat njury. He needs a place to vent all that effort and if Mike is just forced to contain that energy within his mind, well … have you all seen that high school experiment where some Physics teacher takes a tiny lit firecracker and holds it in his gloved hand while keeping his hand perfectly flat? The firecracker explodes with a small bang. But then …….. Mr. Science repeats the experiment but this time ……
He holds the firecracker within his tightly closed fist and the result? He blows off 3 of his fingers. Oh well. It was all in the interest of Science Education. So, easy come … easy go! He can always enroll in some kind of Rundown and grow back those fingers. Know what I mean? The Scam gives its members Super Powers. Remember Spanky saying that? So a member of The Sea Order Scam can always grow back some new fingers. Alternatively they can always go “Exterior” and slip into someone else’s body and steal some of their fingers.
Just Remember! In Scamatology, there are no walls, no limits and no limitations. Not in a world free from insanity – least ways except for the insanity of the Corn on the Cob.
Oh well. I guess it just goes to show. No one’s perfect after all!
OMG. We need to able to edit our posts. Or maybe I just need to be a whole lot more careful. I made so many typos in my previous post. I meant “energy” not “injury”. I hope you can see the rest of those typos for what they are.
Try this: Do your write-up in word. Spell and grammar check. Copy to the Comment.
Yes. Very good advice. Thank you Peabody.
I must make that my policy and follow it every time. Unfortuantely, in the heat of the moment, I tend to become excited and want to post immediately often bypassing any use of an editor.
All in all, it’s my own dumb fault. But I thank you for you suggestion.
Mike is only upstat when I post – haha! But then I always got stats up!
An upstat, self-adulating, anonymous troll.
GOSA Platinum Pepe Meritorious.
Upstat??
Please, spare us. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound?
Your never ending “hahas!” are so childish that I don’t even know where to start.
But then you “always have stats up”? Oh, gawwdd. You’d do well to give Grant Cardone a call. His ignorant and pompous douchbagery is something to behold. You’ll be in good company.
Good comeback, Mike! I scrolled through all the comments and couldn’t find even one that so much as hinted they thought you were referring to race. Unfortunately, FP’s entire vocabulary is nothing BUT “M.U.s”! And the dictionary he checks is NOT the English dictionary but the Scientology dictionary.
Well, you’d better look again, unless your MisUs have blinded you.
Of course he uses the $cientology dictionary. Apparently it’s fun when you can pretend that made-up and altered definitions serve any purpose whatsoever.
And it continues to solidify his absolute certainty that Hubbard wasn’t a raving f**king lunatic.
A short while ago I wrote a comment about Hubbard’s gibberish and that he was also talking about himself, not unlike in his “Affirmations” just with a philosophical touch. He was convinced that he is a genius (a stable genius that is) and had a superiority complex.
This says it all:
“We are on our way to make a brand new race. This is not an overstatement. It’s the most fantastic understatement of all time. I want you to know that; I’m not overselling it to you. I don’t have to.”
I had the notion that someone would show up again with the lame MU-claim and denigrating M.R. and the commenters in a generalized manner. Of course, Hubbard set it up in his writings so that when he was criticized that the person has to have MUs or is an SP (or whatever other labels). After all, he was the genius, who was right.
Then I got interrupted and after that thought “Nah! ,won’t happen” and the “brand new race” statement speaks for itself and then deleted my comment, but — voila…
I suggest you reach for a dictionary (lot of effort I know) before crowing away as to what you think Hubbard wrote. Go on, I dare you! You can even take Hubbard’s advice about how to clear words. Don’t forget to put the (right) definition in sentences until you understand the word. Simple eh? Well, perhaps? Voila!
You are making my point about your “MUs”-mantra.
Hubbard doing ‘research’:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CEsS2LaYx0
I suggest you look up the word “it” – which was referring to Hubbard’s remark, not the 3rd Reich nonsense you slung in to the pot. Or did you false attest to the KTL?
Yes, as I said the Briefing Course article was interesting and was “valid reporting”. Unlike this twaddle – haha!
Sometimes I really wonder if you are either mentally unstable or senile. No, “it” was referring to you claiming I was “playing the race card” by making a comment about the Third Reich.
And everyone can read the thread above.
And you look foolish once again. Why do you do this?
Mike, many good Films, books and now blogs have comic relief. Foolproof conveniently supplies that whenever Hubbard’s tech is part of the blog subject.
Well, read it again.
The fool poops again!
Scribe left us with:
“The fool poops again!”
Dang! Sometimes you have a WAY with words.
Yes, all over this nonsense article. Good eh?
Stool, that’s what I’m talking about – your shit is funny!
FP,
Perhaps “perusing” your own Merriam-Webster would’ve shown you this:
mete: to give out by measure : DOLE OUT
meet: to come into the presence of : FIND
: to come together with, especially at a particular time or place
Time to get rehatted on word clearing?
Oh! What sophistry! But did you not realise that was a typo? Surely no one can be that stupid eh? Or perhaps were you trying to be funny, because, as I say, no one could be that stupid!
With the possible exception of you at this point.
Such hypocrisy. You literally just made fun of jere lull for making a typo, yet here you are justifying your own.
Ah! Katherine Invalidate! You really should read things in the order that they are done. The order you mention was in complete reverse – Wryturman started the ball rolling. Feel silly now do we? This is what happens when your bigotry takes over.
FP —
First of all, hypocrisy in regard to typos has nothing to do with the “order” of the way posts come in.
You made fun of jere for a simple typo, then justified your own. It didn’t go over my head — it went over yours.
Dude, you should really do the comedy club circuit and post clips on YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo. A catchy name for your act could be ‘Who’s Fooling Who?’
I think the majority of us on Mike’s blog would all watch your channel and share it with friends. You’d probably have a big following. It might even go viral!
Thanks Scribe, yeah, it’s pretty good eh? No, don’t worry, I didn’t take your remark seriously.
You should!

Hubbard clearly thought himself the King of the Jungle.
Does that make Miscavige Simba? or Scar?
Can someone shoop the picture so the lion is holding a cigarette?
What brand?
OSD:”What Brand?” Kools non-filtered, of course.
It hit the newstands big time. I saw the whole front page of the Enquirer all about the lawsuit that Valerie or whatever her name is, is bringing against DM and the church. It was great to read all the things she is suing the church for. Now the world will know. The article said they want to bring Tom Cruise, David Miscavige, and Shelley Miscavige to the witness stand or to make depositions. I was cheering when I read that. Then I came back down to earth and was a bit sad because we all know that Davey will never let it come to that. He will throw tons of money at it, settle and make her sign a gag order and that will be that. Another chance for justice will be disappeared just like his wife was.
It ain’t over till the fat lady sings!
Scribe:
” It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.”
VH ain’t fat! Nicely slim, I’d say.
And a pretty slim lady she is!
I don’t think an article in the Enquirer will reach the whole world.
I occasionally glance at the cover when I see it on the shelf.
Expect most things headlined there to be nonsense and never purchased a copy in my life.
I am not saying here that Valerie does not deserve to have her story told.
Perhaps, a publication with more credibility will take it up.
I read an article in the New Yorker about David Pecker as head of the National Enquirer. The New Yorker article said NE’s readership is 5 million and that their major demographic is retired, senior citizen white Americans who are conservative politically. The article quoted David Pecker as saying that his regular readers are addicted to the National Enquirer because they are for the most part kind of poor, and love to read about famous, rich people being caught doing illegal or embarrassing things, doing drugs, being exposed for crimes, being sued, and in general, being brought down, tumbling from their high and might places, etc. This is the red meat they crave. The whole – what’s the word – premise? of the mag is based on the rich and high and mighty tumbling down and how poor white people crave to read this stuff. Now, before you pile on me 🙂 keep in mind that this is what DAVID PECKER was quoted as saying about his readers. He was not respectful of them to say the least but I suspect he felt safe in assuming they’d never be reading the New Yorker. Point being, billionaire David Miscavige being sued big time is red meat for his readers AND us, of course.
I’m off to get my copy 🙂
Cavalier, I’m not in the habit of buying the Enquirer either. I only bought it to read the article about Tom Cruise, DM and Shelley and the lawsuit.
I read NE sometimes. If I see or hear that there’s a Scn article I’ll buy it or read it online. Even without a Scientology article, every so often I’ll buy NE or US or OK or Star, etc. because I’m in the mood to read mindless trash for a while. There’s mental junk food too you know. Years ago, before I gave away my TV, if sometimes I happened to be feeling kind of down, if I was feeling down about my life, I’d tune into the Jerry Springer Show for a bit and feel better. I’d think, “Well, at least I’m not THEM.” Nowadays, when I need media inspiration, I watch some epidsodes of my DVD complete collection of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. “Mary Richards” (the fictional character) always has a tonic effect on me. She’s so perfect. So together in every way. Of course, no one in real life is perfect like that but she’s a great role model, something to aspire to. As Valerie Harper, who played Rhoda, said in an interview: “Mary is who you want to be; Rhoda is who you are, and Phyllis is what you fear you’ll become.” Mary got me thru a huge weekend of organizing recently. I was inundated, overwhelmed, exhausted but I knew it wasn’t physical, so I knocked off and watched a few episodes of Mary being perfect and keeping herself and everyone else together, got reinspired, re-energized and got it done. But I digress, wildly.
Don’t lose faith, Cindy. Every time someone brings a new suit and The Scam captiulates and settles, the message hits home with many other potential Plaintiffs. There are so many people who post here who seem to me to be excellent candidates for launching a suit and receiving large (I mean very large) cash settlements.
I would like to encourage everyone who posts here and has received any kind of abuse from this Scam to please consider speaking with a lawyer that specializes in civil liability cases. I recommend you contact The Aftermath Foundation and ask them to recommend a lawyer in your city who may be sympathetic to your cause and who specializes in these kinds of law suits. Be careful to avoid hiring any lawyer. A criminal lawyer will not usually be the right lawyer for you. But every new person that launches a law suit and wins some money represents the very best kind of encouragement for other people to do likewise.
If you have suffered any form of abuse by this scam, please do yourself and everyone else a big favor and Sue! Baby! Sue! It is the only kind of language these criminals understand.
I did read that article. Just a threat of a viable law suit has to, at the very least, cause DM to double down on his drinking. Hopefully it won’t also make him double down on people disappearing into a relocated Hole. No way this doesn’t at least have the little coward looking for an escape route.
The cult would probably live on in some form with the diehards still waiting for the return of LRH, but fingers crossed that this will create a huge opportunity for those who wanted out to safely get out.
I bought my copy and read the article last night.
Once every few months I stock up on everything I eat that’s in a box, a can or a jar, plus cleaning supplies. Its a HUGE order, all non perishables, and I have it delivered. Because its so big and takes so long to tally up, I always let someone with a small order go in front of me. So after snagging the National Enquirer, I let two people go in front of me. Love flowed my way. But then, as soon as my order started being checked out, a long line of people formed behind me. Hate flowed my way. Their eyes were trained on me, flowing unexpressed resentment if not hate, because the air conditioning was not working too well near the doors… I knew they were cursing their ill luck in getting behind someone with a huge order. When my enormous order it was finally tallied up, and I saw the long line behind me shifting from one foot to another, I dreaded them seeing, to top everything off, that I had bought the National Enquirer, but then I figured, “What the hell, they hate me anyway”, so right after the checker added in the NE I held up the front page and waiving it around, said in a raised voice , “This is a HORRIBLE cult, and they’re going DOWN!” So now not only was I hated for having such a large order but I also managed to turn myself into a complete whacko in front of them as well 🙂 But that’s ok, they’ll remember what I said, and tell others.
We know how the concept of “future goals” is working out for Scientology – membership that’s been on the decline since around the time Hubbard went into hiding and the baby boom went bust almost half a century ago, and lots of very empty buildings.
Reality demonstrates that Hubbard’s pronouncement is unworkable nonsense.
Obviously, one has to have more than just confidence and fearlessness to really succeed in the world – though those qualities might be enough for con games of various sorts.
$cientology is not the K Mart of religions. It is the W T Grants of 1976, just waiting for the bankruptcy judge to rule on how much the execs get to put in their pockets when the bankruptcy sale begins.
“When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”
Harry G. Frankfurt
Great quotation
I liked K-Mart. I loved the fury of a Blue Light Special. They had their own way of selling merchandise about as cheap as possible. Bigger stores often had a nice cafeteria built in, so you could shop, or have the daily special (meat loaf, yummy), or both.
It was a sad day when the K-Mart around the corner from us in Carrollton was shut down. The whole neighborhood went down. First the girl at Whataburger could not comprehend me when I said I wanted a Whataburger. Whataburger, miss, you know, like the name of the place where you are working? Then my job moved to Arizona, and we had to sell our very fine home in a great neighborhood, well, great except for one family that let its big dog roam the streets, and another that wouldn’t park in front of its own house but instead parked in front of mine. Then the new buyer, who was very happy with our former home, somehow burned it down to the ground. Luckily no one was injured, but damn that was a nice house.
So the state of the Union has been all downhill since the fall of K-Mart. I thought it was bad years before, when Monkey Wards left Fort Worth, but the loss of K-Mart hurt my soul like being too late for a Blue Light Special.
Don’t even get me started on Sears… Another one bites the dust. Damn you Amazon!
I love big dogs.
I love big wogs. And I don’t know why.
You love big dogs? You love big wogs?
I love good blogs and Mike’s blog is one of the very best.
I feel very sad about J.C. Penney’s. It’s still hanging on but shrinking. My mom always took me there to outfit me when I was little, and she worked there as a temp there one Christmas. I’ve shopped all my life there; good quality clothing at a reasonable price, cheerful staff, and never any problems returning things. I don’t want to see it go under but the prognosis is not good.
Here’s some more words of “wisdom” from L Wrong Hubtard:
“The SEVEN-YEAR-OLD girl who shudders because a MAN kisses her is not computing; she is reacting to an engram since at seven she should see nothing wrong in a kiss, not even a PASSIONATE one.”
There is only one reason a MAN would write that as part of a dissertation on “mental health”. ONLY ONE REASON.
Well, don’t keep us on pins & needles, Wynski. Because those pins & needles hurt like the dickens.
I like better Descartes statement: “Do not accept something as true unless there is enough evidence that it is so.”
And there’s quite a bit of evidence that shows Scientology is a scam. A worldwide scam. With very, very few people left.
Smart man, that Descartes. If everyone operated like this – if only. If I had learned this earlier in life – if only.
So the ogre which might eat us up is not the government or the High Priests. It’s our failure in practicing our antediluvian technology and just going on with the charade, while watching the whole thing go to hell.
Antediluvian technology. I don’t have a clue what that is. I’ll go with Alien tech for $200.
It’s about a distant relative of yours – that very old surfer dude called Noah.
Ron Hubbard never told people to smile because they were in scientology.
Roger, Tubby said in so many different ways:” DON’T SMILE in scientology. It’s suppressive.
The only people reading these dumb quotes are all of us and the person that created the promo piece… oh, wait…and the AVC line (if it exists still).
Hubbard was seriously delusional.
Ok victims, are you ready for a blue light implant?
I’ve been ready for this for years.
I’d prefer the red light district.
Don’t be taken’ my bitches!!! Our friendship will be gone!
