What's new

The Push is On (again)

Yes, the latest ruse is that they call to verify your address, name, or someting like that. Then they turn the conversation into a hardsell of the Basics Books. I tell them goodbye and hang up. It's like a pickup line at a bar, it doesn't matter why they are supposedly calling you, the bottom line is "BUY THE BOOKS, BUY THE BOOKS NOW, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So do yourself a favor and terminate all attempted communications from the Ronbots unless you're into talking to mind-slave zombies programmed to fleece you.

I have to agree. I think it is pointless to try to communicate with the robots. Even if they wanted to hear what you had to say they're too scared to.

I received a call a couple of months ago. She sounded oriental and was very sweet on the phone. She said she wanted to verify my phone number and address so that she could send me that DVD that they were mailing out to people. I told her that I felt sorry for her because she was stuck on staff and was being lied to and she wasn't allowed to look at the truth. I said DM was a criminal. She backed off and ended the conversation and I have never received another call. :eyeroll:

So I get a call from my mom....seems she has some money on account somewhere and "they" figure she needs the congresses, so two (of course) uniformed SO people (very pleasant she says) arrived at her door with the boxes of cd/dvds after a several HOUR drive from the nearest "seaport".

Funny thing is that my folks had cleaned up the little tidbits of money on accounts at the various places around the country buying the basics a year or two ago....


It seems to me that "they" are delivering stuff on pretense to achieve something....what I dont know. Good will? Inspiration? Human contact?

Its ok though, I get them. (the congresss)

The "why" for Scn's dismal stats and contraction was found by Davy the 'I don't have a high school education but I can spot a why a mile away' to be "out basics". So now that he has produced "the basics" all that needs to be done to 'revert the scene' is to get the basics in.

Of course, this is from the guy that altered the training, re-defined an fn as a persistant fn, instituted gang bang sec checks, spits on his juniors, and brooks no criticism. Gat went flat, I expect the basics to do so as well.

Desperate cult is desperate.......

But prepayments that don't exist?

From your earlier post, I wasn't certain that they didn't exist. Heck, I probably have long-forgotten funds somewhere. AOLA maybe. I should probably write and ask for 'em back. ;)

My friend called me last night, he's a declared SP AND got his money back.
He's been divorced from his wife for many years.

They called his house, asking for his wife (both are declared SP!)

DUH! What's up, DM and gang? :confused2: <<<<<Can't figure out how to 'get the stats up'? Tick tock, tick tock....I told ya.

These folks are ***Seriously** scraping the barrel.

Personally, I wouldn't accept them. It's likely that if they find their mistake, Your parents will receive a bill for the congresses.

Or maybe someone is not averse to reporting a "false stat"?

Prepayments used is one of the FBO's stats, right?

When I was an FBO last, around 1980, I seem to remember the stats as being payments to Flag and percentage of checklist items in, the checklist being based on the "promotional actions of an organization" that the FBO was supposed to get in. It certainly wasn't PPU. But it's all a bit hazy now, especially as I wasn't very good at any part of the post except the admin, and I could have forgotten one. Or two. :)

Now THAT takes the cake. I feel bad for these SO folks...think how humiliating that must be... maybe not if they truly believe your parents 'need' the books as a matter of survival.

Scientology is an "Insidious" practice.... "operating or proceeding in an inconspicuous or seemingly harmless way but actually with grave effect"

Hey... I resemble that!!

I would LOVE to put this thread to rest, BUT-YOU GUESSED IT........the PUSH is on again!!!!:omg: :omg: :omg: :omg:

Last nite...SUNDAY NITE!!!..some rather nasty character from Bridge Publications. You would be proud as I didn't lose my temper this time and start swearing. I just patiently explained that I had PURPOSELY changed my phone # to stop these calls and it's sick that a so called "religion" continues to harrass people. I knew (since it was Bridge Publications) that this person was calling to sell me the Basics dreck. I calmly told this being that they should be ashamed to be reselling fifty year old books that we have already been bamboozeled into buying a few times over in the past!!!

My husband said I should have told her we were wating for the "next editions"!LOL

Than tonight, I actually got a call from the UK!! WTF??? I'd like to tell you I was patient again but that would be a lie. First of all, I could barely understand this person. Secondly, I can't friggin' stand that fake "uptone" how are you doing? bullshit, and third I asked this chick right out if she was from Scio. and she tried to evade the question. Luckily, my TR3 was "in" and she finally admitted she was. By this time I was quite irate and called her a "loonie". Not nice and totally not how I treat others but I can't stand these calls starting again!! BEWARE--the calls come in as PRIVATE CALLER with no phone no. showing!!!

For a lulzy approach, you could intone serenely, "No thank you. I'm into yoga now." Then take a deeeeep breath and chant "O-O-O-OOOMMMMMMMM," into the phone to drown out anything they might be saying. :D
