Can You Belive This??

Fluffy, you are right about your assessment of the technical view. However, there is also an "Ethics" viewpoint (of course). It goes back to PTS type H. Those who experiment with "other practices" are actually considered open minded. Remember this is a BAD thing in Scientology. In KSW Series 1 LRH said "Never permit and open-minded approach".
So you have to know it works before you can find out if it works, you have to be OT in order to go OT. You have to be able to have no case on post or life before you will be permitted to get your case addressed. You must stop dramatizing before you can rid yourself of dramatization.
Seems to me that by the time you are qualified to receive Scientology you don't really need it.:eyeroll:

Exactly. Why pay for services if you're perfect enough to receive services?:duh:

GoodTwin,

Excellent point. There is the ethics standpoint. You're quite right. :)

I think Scn has so many problems in it-- especially as practiced in CofS. I think the best way to utilize Scn is to be willing to be heretical, loosey goosey,all the things Hubbard said not to do.

So I must be the personification of a "namby-pamby panty-waist diletante'.So much so that I've never bothered word clearing "namby-pamby" or "panty-waist", but I know that I'm a fantasic diletante! I couldn't have amassed as much information other wise.

A specialist is someone who studies more and more about less and less until he eventually knows everything there is to know about absolutely nothing.

When the only item in your toolbox is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail.

Yes, the Google advertising engine can make some ironically bizarre decisions in ad placement. The engine also makes assumptions based on your IP address, so two people looking at the same site at the same time may receive completely different advertisements.

I don't think this is "other frish to fry". Tarot would come under the heading of "mixing practises".


Hey when I was 'in', ANYTHING that wasn't 100% pure unadultarated Hubbo scientology, was .. 'other fish to fry'! Art, falling in love, keep fit, for god's sake, they wanted slaves and nothing more. And from what I experienced, if you weren't 'on source' 100% of the time, you were a squirrel and had 'other intentiondness'. :angry: .. don't get me started..

Excellent point! :thumbsup: That sure brings it all back! :duh: People have the right to do whatever the hell they want to do whether you want to call it mixing practices or not. People have the right to study anything they want and if they want to study one hundred things at once then that's up to them! You're right Good Twin, you basically have to already be OT10 to do your BSM! Pathetic. My definition of freedom is to be able to do as I please as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else and that's that.

I run Google Adwords campaigns and can confirm that ads don't just appear on other sites due to accident or coincidence.

As the advertiser, you specify keywords you wish to use to trigger your ad's appearance.

If CofS ads are appearing on Tarot websites, then the CofS is specifying that they want this to happen. Or conversely, they are not excluding such websites.

Yes, just as I thought! They change the rules to suit themselves, but then didn't they always? Ugh!!

Oh yes, Tarot is very definitely 'type H'ey'....I myself, own several beautiful Decks :yes:

(I use them for their pretty pictures as inspiration for writing, more than for reading..but have done that with 'em too)

Love the Rider-Waite deck. What kinda stuff you write?

Yes, as of yet, I do NOT own that deck, but will soon.

I collect really pretty, ornate renn-style decks (Like Gilded, Tarot Favole). Their pics and scenes are soooooo richly detailed and really help inspire me.

I write poetry and fiction, mostly. I've always enjoyed writing.

My poetry has been published and even being read on several podcasts! :happydance:

I doubt they know how to run the campaign properly. But it can do funny things at times. I have run AdWords campaigns for various fishing products...including northern pike. I once received a visit from someone claiming that they had come in from a video game website that had "Pikemen" as a military unit. I went and checked, and it took several loads of that site, but my ad sure did come up there.

I think the main point is that I highly doubt that they contacted the Tarot website and purchased advertising directly from them.

Well maybe this deserves a new thread but I'll say: I was long on tech lines and one of several things I could never wrap my wits around was, the tech says Scn is non-denominational, yet I was often required to route PCs to ethics for PTS handlings because they practiced this or that religious philosophy. I don't recall actually having a PC that used Tarot cards specifically. But in general I could never understand this. And to whom is such a person PTS?

In keeping with the tech on PTS and PTPs, I guess if I was the one oppposing their auditing by sending them to ethics, then maybe they were PTS to me???:lol:

Well at any rate, it was some relief to get removed:happydance:

You're not the only one that couldn't get your head around that, when they found out I had an interest in Tarot Cards and Astrology, I too was sent to ethics and accused of having 'other fish to fry'. So yes, this is what they say about it at the beginning, but the deeper you go, you realise that they are as non-denominational as the man in the moon. It's all lies, that's all it is, a pack of lies to get you 'hooked'.

I was introduced to a site today called 'Squido' and there's this guy who's saying that he's read some 'terrible' things on the net about scientology and that he's really upset by this as it's 'not true' so he's there to put the 'truth' and has all these links to Ron's books etc etc.. :angry: It's obvious he doesn't want to believe the truth and he's out there promoting scientology to be something very nice and practial that he can use in his life. Some people just don't want to know the real truth, I agree it's hard to confront, but to go as far as promoting it is just madness.
