Scientology would try to help you with that.

It's OK renegade -- I've been where you are -- the enthusiasm and tenacity are natural responses to discovering the truth that's been hidden lo these many years, and to finding a community teeming with big beings like yourself.

Just don't give up: you start with ESMB grade 0 and work your way up. . . . the more attention units you give to ESMB, the sooner you'll reach the EP (Total Freedom from the Scientology mindf---) remember, the way out is the way through . . . :wink2:

Not to get all serious

I'm so addicted to ESMB that once I announced that I was making my last post..... and then I came back and kept coming back.
Why is it so hard to leave?
Well, the church, with all its faults, gave us a group.
After leaving Scn, it's unlikely we would ever join up with any other church, but I believe there is still a longing for a group.
ESMB is OUR group!
Face it, we are linked by a common purpose, and it gives some meaning to our lives.
But it's free, communication is open, and it's fun!
That's why we keep coming back.
(That, and insomnia - lol!)

Success - Bye for now

Addictions do not exist. They are a creation of mind and agreement.

For now and some as yet indeterminate point in time I'm finished here.

I have to go catch some bigger fish to fry.
Or throw them in my fishtank or my sandbox as I see fit.

A parting gift

The Origin of Science of Mind and Scientology and the power to control people without their awareness can be found in the book History and Power of Mind originally written in 1902 by Richard Ingalese.

toodles ...

Wait a minute, do they exist, or not? If they are creations of mind and agreement, does this mean that the creations don't exist?

I have the same problem, addiction to ESMB.

I got away from Scientology in late 81 due to relocation for a job. Then I am notified that the mission I was at broke off from Cof$, that was in January of 82, which to me was a welcome relief, I had pretty well had it with Scientology by then and the mission that I had previously been with breaking off allowed me to pretty much quit ... although there was a part of me that was still "in" until Spring of 1989 when I read the Bent Corydon book. It was reading the oatee 3 material that caused me to nearly piss in my pants laughing, and broke the last of the spell. Except that everytime I got into a depressed mode I would re-read and re-read that book and/or the Russell Miller book, Barefaced Messiah. Then came the web, and anytime I got into a depressed mood I would search out Scientology horror stories. Then came my addiction to the Clambake, then Clambake eventually faded (the message board is a mere shadow of its former self) and now I am here, against my better judgement.

The one thing that keeps me here is a longing for more and more news, awaiting the final death throws of Cof$, waiting for a major scandal that will break it TOTALLY open, any absolute confirmation that there was, indeed, CIA interest/infiltration of Cof$, news that Slappy has been arrested, etc.

Go do something low-tech and manly! I find backpacking works great.

Extreme conditions and near-death encounters involving extreme weather, bears, hazardous terrain, 'misadventure' or whatever are a plus.

If you really have cast iron balls of fire, try it solo sometime. OK to bring your dog, as you still will have no one to talk back to you.

It's like they say: You can't not watch a train wreck. scientology is a 200 car train moving at full speed and "the bridge" is out up ahead. How can we not watch? ESMB is the best seat around.

Plus Mystic is cool!
