What are your dolls telling you now?
Be sure to post the next conspiracy your dolls tell you about.

Well that explains it all.
But are you sure you weren't shot in the head?

gee now your superior intellect is really showing me up...:nailbiting::nailbiting:I give up...your so intimidating and my incompetency will never match your prowess in your omniscience of World, no... UNIVERSAL TRUTH. silly of me
Hmm, I wonder if we're mixing up cause and effect here. While I don't deny that Scientology is a mindfuck and can do nothing to improve one's mental wellbeing... I also believe that the kind of person who has no interest in proof or evidence (as the wider world would understand it) is easy meat for Scientology recruiters, and for lunatics like LRH to work their "magic" on.W. . .
I wish it were possible to have threads like this one front page and center of a sub-section of this board called "I am not a Scientologist, but"... to linger on and on and on (absent intelligent commentary) to serve as a reminder of what a mind-fuck can do to an otherwise, probably, well-meaning being.

The 'cause' thing, though: there seem to be a disproportionate number of Scientology victims (even exes) who believe in remote viewing, chemtrails, the New World Order, reptilians, the Loch Ness Monster and so on. So I suspect this interest in the "Alternative" (a scene that always scoffs at demands for evidence) also confers upon one a predisposition to get suckered into a manipulative cult like Scientology.
That's a very broad brush you're painting with there!
Besides, how would an ex unlearn the truth about Hubbard's disastrous naval career, his bigamy, his dabblings with satanism, his betrayal of Mary Sue, his being shot full of Vistaril right before he 'departed for Target Two'... and so on, and so on. And that's just the stuff about Blubbard. If a person finds out about the crimes and human rights abuses that are done in order to further Scientology's aims... no moral person could go back to the cult.
Also, life on the 'outside', to quote South Park:
"It's fun and it's free!"
Ain't many exes gonna return to the madness of Hubbardism. In fact, I know of ONE. All that junk mail and phone calls every week, and they got one person back 'in' after twenty years. They caught him when he was feeling low. Stay happy: that's the best defense against CofS.
Exactly. This is why I think the Church believes it can recover most exes.
Exes may diagree with this or that action, but the mindset that got them into Scientology in the first place is still lying there within them.

What mindset are you referring to? My "mindset" when I entered the Church was that I had stumbled on a tool that could revolutionize psychotherapy, and give aid to myself and my connections.
Dear Emma,
We've had several rambling conspiracy theory threads just in the last few days. Chemtrails, JFK and this one: maybe others. I am concerned that ESMB will start to look like a kooky conspiracy theory board - and that ain't what I'm here on ESMB for. There are plenty of places elsewhere on the Internet for those what want to trade conspiracy theories.
Would it be unreasonable to ask if maybe all the off-topic paranoid fucknuttery -- or at least the off-topic paranoid fucknuttery that's promoted by a single troll -- is merged into a single thread, to reduce it's visibility and let us reacquire our former focus on the Con of Ron?
Just an idea.
Does this a 'second'?
Toady : seconded !

And also move it to the members only section.

Federal Cover-Up Of
A chronological investigative analysis of once-classified intelligence reports, corporate papers, copyright and trademark records, court documents, and other public records has exposed a massive and pervasive co-ordination of the Executive and Judicial Branches in order to effect a cover-up, since at least 1972, of copyrighted Scientology technologies being illegally utilized in United States strategic intelligence. The study shows that the cover-up has reached all the way to the Oval Office in both Republican and Democratic administrations, including those of George Bush and Jimmy Carter. Bush's knowledge and involvement dates back at least to his term as Director of Central Intelligence.
