Is ESMB a Giant Circle Jerk?

Ranting good, LRH bad. Ranting about LRH: magnificent

I know this is going to result in me getting ripped a new one, but I have to ask if there's anyone else around here, lurkers perhaps, who think of ESMB as a giant circle jerk.

I got out of the SO a few years ago, came here and posted for a bit, and then mostly moved on with my life. I drop in once in a blue moon to see if there's anything new going on in Scientology worth talking about, and there very rarely is.

Every time I come here, I see the same faces posting the same angry rants about LRH and Scientology. It seems like the same people telling themselves "Yeah, Scientology is crazy." "Yeah, LRH was a con artist." over and over and over ad nauseum.

So, ESMB, please explain yourselves.

I haven't cum yet so I feel I should continue posting.

Well, that's got the biggest response to a post in this thread so far. I don't know what it says about ESMB but judging by the number of Lols there's a hell of a lot of folks wiping their dinner off of their monitors.

Hey Ral Z,

All right, well my take on ESMB is that it does serve the ranting/venting purpose well. Sort of a support group for the PSSD, or Post-Scientology Stress Disorder bunch.

Also, it's a landing place for those looking around to find other people who have left, are thinking about (or even dreaming, perhaps) about leaving the
C of S. It can be a nerve-wracking and scary time, moving out of that group and it's mindset, at least it was for me.

There is a lot of companionship on this board, especially for those who are surrounded by their friends or family who are still involved in the C of S.
It can be a lonely place when you move on and those around you have not. It is for me, that's for sure.

I also feel that public dissent and whistle-blowing are actually deterrents to bullies of all kinds, as well as therapeutic to the abused.

Maybe not as satisfying as sending in the Marines and all, but, hey, everyone can't be President, can they?

Love,

Two Cents

i'm new and lurky but aren't all forums circle jerks? why should this one be different

No, they aren't. Here, you can read first-hand accounts about Hubbard's beatings, over-boardings and torture, the day Ron made up OT3 and where his drug bunker was, who made up the fake Narconon recovery stats, who created the new structure and front and what the results were decided to be, and much more. This thread is a troll. ESMB is without a doubt, the largest collection of information about Hubbard and his cult, that exists.

were you expecting a launch of some new ex scio video game or a bright and shiny album?

I have no idea what this means.

Nobody here owes YOU any explanation. :no:

The purpose of ESMB isn't to entertain YOU. :no:

Did YOU come here to jerk off?

Or did you just come here to bitch?

The same angry rants about LRH and Scientology

So, ESMB, please explain yourselves.

:) Ral Z, If I understand correctly, you joined Scientology in 2010.

You're an intelligent chap, yet you joined Scientology in the Internet age.

How did you manage that?

For some reason, to me the OP called for sort of a Monty Python response... you know "The Circle of the Jerking is ESMB... etc (too brain-dead to do a good job at the moment).

I've been here long enough and gone through enough that I skim and pick and choose--know who I bother to read and who I just ignore. I now have a life, so if I read everything here on ESMB--uh, I wouldn't have a life.

When I first got out, I spent HOURS reading EVERYTHING here and elsewhere (and this place IS a lot busier than when I first got out. Hell, I'm glad people repeat the same stuff. Those of us who have been out a while--yeah, it can be same-old, same-old.... but folks keep coming out and I'd hate that if they came out and found ESMB all the exes would just be so over it that it's just be a place where we posted pix of kittens 'n stuff.

So, circle jerk it as needed. Following video has nothing to do with anything; just remembered something a bit wrongly... but I love it because it was in "Back to School"-- a comedy which actually had a cameo by kurt vonnegut... that's worth the price of admission in itself.

Is someone jerking off by asking if ESMB is a Giant Circle Jerk?

This statement is demonstrably false and, indeed, moronically stupid. There is news almost every day. If not, certainly every week, which is discussed throughout the following week. All you have to do is look. You know, confront.
So, ESMB, please explain yourselves.
Let me put this in the nicest possible way and, indeed, in a way akin to an auditing question: Who the fuck do you think you are?

As a former SO member, are you still suffering from delusions of grandeur or, indeed, relevancy? Are you, after all this time, somehow under the tragically deluded impression that you can fucking TELL anyone what do do? That you don't even have to put your request (and, yeah, it is a request, not a command) in the form of a question? (There is a punctuation mark known as a question mark. You may want to word clear that.) Or be respectful? (Like me right now.) Or, Xenu forbid, polite? (And no, use of the word "please" in the phrase "Please explain yourselves" is not polite. The entire phrase is obnoxious.)

This reminds me of Vinaire when he whined and bellyached about ESMB being "nothing more than a gossip rag."

Of course Vinaire was upset because collectively we weren't impressed with his particular brand of spiritual tech. :eyeroll:

This Ral Z guy is either just a troll with nothing better to do, or he's OSA. :whistling:

Yeah, as in, there are a bunch of other important threads that people were filling up with good info and that energy needed to be diverted to this silly one. :dance:

In fact, group masturbation and gossip are SO good for the soul that I think I should start a CHURCH with these two pillars of happy.

It would appear the person who started this thread is merely a troll, so I will play along.

" I gotta bounce", but, man this reminds me why I keep coming back..Love you guys.... seriously.

This place is where we are actually allowed to be mutants (although, we might be flamed for it). But, fuck... it beats the living hell out of the conformity in the cult.

You can bitch about the board, but you can leave here... unlike the cult, we won't be showing up on your doorstep or calling you incessantly to find out why you left.

Somebody email be a Scotch dammit.... I don't have to be "sessionable" or "studentable" tomorrow.........

Almost every day I'm reminded again why I'm so glad to be out of the cult---but there are stretches when I forget, and I come back here.... every post is a little bit more of power to the exodus....

keep on posting folks....
