OOOOOPS, I meant to write grams. My bad. The bracelet weighed 11 grams.

The meltdown value of 11 grams is $ 6.16.

Thanks for catching that!

Better now? LOL
No, it's worse..... because my dream of becoming rich is gone now..... and you should know the rule: no rich - no bridge.

Never mind uncover, I know someone who will sell you London Bridge for a couple of thousand pounds. It wouldn't be the first time somebody has been sold a bridge to nowhere.

The cringey ironic joke is that even though they have gone CLEAR, they have no memory of the time Ron guaranteed he could cure their bad vision.

Priceless. I have a theory that Scientology blinds you to Irony and lrony.

OOO MMM GGG

I just had a wognition myself!

I did not wear glasses prior to getting sucked in and being trapped in the cult of Scientology - going "clear" up the Bridge to NOWHERE.

I needed glasses at about Grade II

I kept thinking when I was in....Why am I needing glasses? What is going on? I always had perfect vision!

I never said anything to anyone about it ...but I was like WTF? What is happening to me???

I went down the rabbit hole and left Scientology quietly.

After I left the cult (I was OAT TEA) - I realized that I COULD NOT SEE when I was in Scientology....I could not see that I was being manipulated, tricked and defrauded!

Wow -

Piss Poor wine selection @ CC

Not to say it the wrong way, but, did you ever read the wine list at CC ?

Jesus Christ ! Just go to TJ's & get some 2 Buck Chuck !

CC is way way way way overpriced on obscure wines that have been improperly stored for God only knows how many years.

For grins, anybody who dines there ( some people are into self torture ) ask your waiter " What's your corkage fee " ? & watch a waiter become obviously flustered as they have no clue WTF you are asking.

Or, pick any wine & ask them to tell you about it. Get ready for a deer in the headlights look.

The spelling of Centre ' is designed to impress the very uneducated - and the SO certainly is impressed by such classless crap as ' Centre '.

Maybe they could have an " Earl of the Manor " or even a " Knight of the RPF " !

The IRS imposes certain conditions when it grants a Tax exemption (a 501C 3.) One of the conditions is that the Tax exempt entity cannot HOARD or STOCKPILE money.
Therefore to show the IRS money is being SPENT, more and more real estate is acquired, but by sleight of hand and deception, actually MOAR fund raising is done for these.
"Tom De Vocht, who oversaw the church's real estate division until 2001 (and who left the church in 2005), says he was briefed by none other than Miscavige himself on Scientology's strategy of buying land as a way to spend and effectively store its cash.

"They're not really advertising, not really reaching out," De Vocht says. "They don't pay anyone. The money's gotta go somewhere."

He adds: "We spent crazy money on renovations and purchases. Yearly, they took albums of photos of properties they purchased and renovated to IRS, to show what they were spending money on. That was a big driving factor.""

Well, at least he put his hard-earned money in precious metals (sterling silver), in case there is major downturn in the economy.

A man's sterling CLEAR BRACELET costs $700.

I wonder what a wog would sell a similar sterling link bracelet for?

ANSWER:
s-l300.jpg

Oh we're in luck. There are tons of them all over the internet. This one (10gm) is selling on eBay right now for $ 13.99. There are other ones for less than 10 dollars.

And let's add another 4 dollars for the little Scn. double-triangle medallion. So, we are up to $18.00 and add another gm of sterling, for a total weight of 11 grams.

When the 'shit hits the fan' and financial markets collapse this guy can sell his Clear bracelet for the meltdown value. No worries! :giggle:

Today's silver "gross meltdown value" (11 gm): $ 6.16. So he's got an impressive nest egg there! LOL. Probably just enough to buy a calmag drink in preparation for hearing his next tech estimate.
Let's assume that Scientology, like every other business in the world, would LOVE to have customers wearing their brand LOGO everywhere, to promote new clients. (Think Harley Davidson, Nike, Disneyland, et al). What an amazing thing--FREE ADVERTISING!

Any company would be very happy to sell such branded products for a tiny profit. Or double their cost ("keystone") and make a handsome profit. Or "triple keystone" their cost and make a killing.

If Scientology tripled their cost (appx. $6.20 in silver, approximately $5.80 in handling, manufacturing & overhead) that would bring their cost up to appx. $12.00. Hey, let's even double that cost and say it's $24.00. Now, let's let Scn triple their cost and sell it to Scientologists for 3X or $72.00.

Would Scientology be happy with a 3X price? Nope.

Scientology sells that bracelet for $700. More than 29 times what it cost them!

They're used to big markups. That's why they mark up the auditing to over $500,000 to get to OT 7. While they pay staff members pennies per hour to deliver it. And not enough for toilet paper, LOL. That's because (like a mafia owned casino) there are huge sums skimmed off the top for all the upper bosses and to feed the offshore money-laundering appetites of the rich and famous cult leader(s).

So, that guy in the photo showing his "VGI's" about his new clear bracelet better suck any enjoyment he can get out of it now, before he realizes how badly he is being scammed.


(EDIT: Thanks to Uncover's careful reading and spotting the error, I corrected all the references above from "ounces" to "grams". THANKS!)

And, most fun of all, when you get it checked it is NOT the silver stamped on it - it is less ! Not only is their a 29 times factor in the mark up, it is MIS marked as to actual content !

The only time I ever saw was of those God-awful yellow T shirts was at a CC memorial service.

WTF. Wear a T shirt to a memorial service - is that classless & clueless at the same time ?

Astounding idiots that lot.

Really? The COS doesn't stamp it 925 on the back, the traditional way of confirming that it is "sterling" (92.5% pure) silver?

Weird. That's unlike the Church of Scientology which normally takes every opportunity to hyperbolically brag about everything it does. It would be more expected that their advertising for the bracelet would entirely "bypass" the 92.5% reference and, instead, promote.


EACH CLEAR BRACELET IS METICULOUSLY HAND-MADE
AND ASSEMBLED BY OLD WORLD MASTER CRAFTSMEN WHO
USE NOTHING BUT PURE 100% STERLING SILVER THAT YOUR
FAMILY WILL TREASURE AS A PRICELESS INVESTMENT
GRADE FAMILY HEIRLOOM!


In all fairness, because this is getting into a technical area, we should probably ask people who are expert authorities on jewelry and medals. . .


ASK THE SEA ORG!

Q:
Are you sure it's hand-made? Aren't link bracelets made by a machine?
A: Yes! We order the bracelets from a jewelry manufacturer in Providence, RI, and they use machines to stamp out the bracelet. But, we're pretty sure that those machines must have been assembled by hand.

Q: Assembled by Old World Master Craftsmen, really? Are you sure about that?
A: Absolutely! When we get the bracelets back from the manufacturer, it is assembled with tissue paper and a box. This is all done by our Old World, Eastern European Sea Org recruits that live in the basement.

Q: How can it be 100% pure sterling silver, when sterling is only 92.5% pure silver?
A: That's correct. But we didn't say it's 100% pure silver, we said it's 100% pure sterling silver, which means that it is 100% of the 92.5% requirement. You really should use a dictionary and more clay.

Q: How can you possibly call this an "investment"? If I sold it for the intrinsic precious metal, I'd only get a 6 dollar return on my $700 "investment"? Wouldn't that be an outrageous loss?
A: By law we are not allowed to give investment advice. But, rather than focus your attention on 'doom and gloom' predictions, might I suggest that you keep in mind our promotional brochure description of the bracelet as a "priceless symbol of total freedom". Not bad, eh? A priceless treasure for only $700 mest dollars? And just think of the huge financial gains you will realize when your business associates notice your Clear bracelet and want to flow power to you!

Top 100 Stupid POWER Moments in Scientology

...
Cross-Posted from another thread I just remembered and cringed about. Again. LOL.

It was a discussion about Grade V, the "POWER PROCESSES".

OMG, did I actually do this mind-numbingly stupid stuff? LOL.


-----------------




I once had "Power" auditing (Grade V).

I was so powerful during this powerful rundown that I had to wear a powerful warning note pinned to my shirt all day that read:


I AM ON POWER PROCESSES.
PLEASE DO NOT TALK TO ME OR
ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CASE.


Yes, that happened. fuckingcringecringecringe!

Suggested note for all Scientologists to wear 24/7:

I AM IN SCIENTOLOGY.
PLEASE DO NOT TALK TO ME OR
ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY NOT
HAVING ANY OF THE POWERS OF
A CLEAR OR OT THAT I PAID $500K FOR.

HH- you forgot to inform the curious Pre Clear - on Power - Hubbs makes it really "mysterious" by having the PRE CLEAR wear this lanyard around his neck.

I did it too~!

But don't forget there was ONE Scientological being:whistling: that could talk to you about anything...and GIVE you a CASE in case you had audited it out!~:omg:
I AM ON POWER PROCESSES.
PLEASE DO NOT TALK TO ME OR
ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CASE. (with the exception of REGISTRARS)

LOL, very funny, very true!

I had to pause after reading that, suddenly remembering how CERTAIN and OMNISCIENT and PROBLEM-FREE the registrars had to act on post. As if. . .

As if their own case was brilliantly resolved and they had "made it". A living example of "total cause over life". LOL

Actually, come to think of it, virtually EVERY executive in Scientology "plays" (e.g. "acts out") that same OT character.

No surprise, because the screenplay for every one-dimensional character in the Scientology stage play is written by the same scriptwriter.





* ps: Anyone who has ever worked 'behind the curtain' in scientology, as an auditor or case supervisor, knows just how majorly messed up the minds ("cases") of those "OT"-acting staff members were. When the session doors closed, they were very "effect" and (gasp) homo sapiens, with all the characteristics of "human degradation" that Ron warned about.

* pps: Scientology: Where nobody's case gets handled. Where nobody goes Clear. Where nobody goes OT. Where nobody knows how to know about the preceding three 'self-evident truths'.

Oh yeah! I forgot all about that. How preposterous and stupid. I remember seeing that while at ASHO in 1980. I just figured there was a damn good reason for it. Now I realize how absurd it is.

The important part: "(only) when in doubt".

A true Hubbardite never is in doubt - his decisions already have been made for him - therefore this concept doesn't apply to a scientologist.

SCRIPTURE: "When in Doubt Communicate"

TRANSLATION: "When in Doubt, report to ethics, confess your crimes (o/w writeup). Then work up to Liability so you can deliver an effective blow to Ron's enemies.

LOL, it hit me the same way suddenly. Ludicrous for someone to pin a stupid note on your clothing that reads:

I AM ON POWER
DO NOT TALK TO ME OR ASK ME
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CASE

A normal response to that should have been to immediately rip off the note and say: "WTF are you doing? Is this a joke? LOL!"


Over on the Church of Hoaxology's website, we are having a special 25% SALE today on notes that WOGS can pin to themselves when they are around Scientologists:


I AM ON REALITY
DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR
STUPID NON-EXISTENT SUPERNATURAL POWERS

My nomination for the all-time stupidest of the stupid is...(no, it's not the toilet paper dilemma that I erroneously thought was just a regional insanity only to discover on ESMB its true world-wide scope)...

...it's been mentioned before...

It's that Scientology is supposed to disseminate on Broad Public Issue the Bridge to Total Freedom in order to stave off nuclear annihilation and psych wards and this would include the Purif, the Grades...you know...how to handle Communication, Upsets, Fixed Conditions, Problems, unhappiness, false purposes, illiteracy, ARC Straightwire and all of that.

Ask any wog anywhere about anything like that and they won't have a clue. They won't even know about the Tone Scale or the ARC/KRC triangles...just read the commentary here of the never ins and you can readily see that they're clueless about these much needed and vital solutions...you know...marriage counseling, getting off drugs, etc.

Scientology is supposed to keep under very tight wraps the super secret super confidential OT data of Xenu, tax audits, volcanoes, Body Thetans, clusters and all of that because this material is sooooo restimulative that it will do in any thetan who runs across it. This stuff is kept under lock and key.

Ask any wog anywhere anything about Scientology and if they've ever heard of Scientology they will immediately mention Xenu, eternal batteries, DC-8s, volcanoes and BTs while remaining completely oblivious to the Grades.

Is that stupid?
