They want more money for Super Power

[skydog]

The church is still looking for money for this project. I got this in the mail recently.

I have other glossy attachments that I tried to upload.

I can't seem to get them but they show a picture of two happy clams Rohit and Rondi Adi, both Cornerstone Members, that have donated to Super Power because they know the planet will not make it without their support. A donation of $35,000 brings with it the status of Cornerstone members which entitles them to a 40% reduction on the requested donation for the rundowns when released, a special gold validation pin, exclusive membership to the Cornerstone club lounge in the new Flag building.

Status for this project can be purchased with donations in the following amounts:

1. Flag Supporter- $1,000 (you get a T-shirt:yes)

2. Flag Alumni-$5,000 (you get Super Power polo shirt and Flag Alumni Jacket)

3. Cornerstone Member-$35,000.

4. Key Contributor-$100,000 (you get a gold Super Power Ring plus membership to the Key Contributor Lounge)

5. Founding Member-$250,000 (in addition to everything in the lower status, a specially framed recognition certificate and priority on the Super Power rundowns when released)

6. Master Builder of Merit-$500,000-same stuff as founding members but nicer certificate

7. Legion of Honor-$1,000,000

8. Legion of OT-$5,000,000

9. Legion of OT Meritorious-7,500,000

10. Master Legion of Honor-$12,000,000

So take out your check books and credit cards boys and girls because it is time to make your non-refundable, but tax deductible, donations to this cause of causes. Only your donations can save this planet. Please mail them payable to me and I will make sure they are forwarded to the appropriate terminals.

'Planetary Clearing' - Lol! That's as real as a unicorn. It's amazing to think that some people believe such rubbish. But Scientology is mainly hypnosis, so some do.

 

[Gadfly]

In the promo piece from Lauri Webster she says about Super Power:

With that release will come a brand new world

Really?

These people are such deluded suckers! I know people who have been involved for 30-35 years, who keep paying and paying! It is beyond my own understanding to grasp how anybody can stay so determinedly deluded for so long. But then, I suppose there is no limit or restrictions on gullibility, wanting to believe, and human hope. And, there is no doubt that Hubbard and Scientology take great advantage of these all-too-human factors.

The letter brought back a memory of a guy I was talking to about four years ago who was trying to scrape the money together for a cornerstone membership. The reg had told him that they were going to stop making cornerstone members in a week, so if he wanted to get on the list he had to get the money together NOW!

I wonder what the cost of membership in the Headstone Club is?

The saga of Scientology equals the realm of the ego.

"Master Legion of Honor"? That's the best title they could come up with? They just aren't even trying, are they?

...

Planetary Clearing will become a reality when they open the front door and begin delivering SuperPower, so the cult's advertising jingle says.

Plans were unveiled for the SuperPower building in 1993 with a budget of $24M. Nineteen years later (2012) they have raised an est. $184M and they still can't open the door.

Fascinating! They have the technology to Clear the planet but they don't have the technology to open the front door.

Does any Scientologist stop to wonder this?

* If Clearing the planet can be achieved simply by delivering SuperPower. . .

* If SuperPower delivery only requires 2 things, an 8 x 10 auditing room and an open space to put a couple of sensory "workout machines". . .

* Why couldn't Scientology simply use the existing auditing rooms at Flag or rent an abandoned warehouse or empty fitness club to install their machines and build a few auditing rooms and start delivering the planet-saving tech?​

By now there could have been 19 years of SuperPower completions. If the delivery to the entire planet was very poor (by OT world-clearing standards) and they only had one (1) person from each country in the world receiving SuperPower--there would only be 192 people online at any given time. By way of reference that would be about the size of a local health club where people go to lift weights and use running machines.

If the rundown took approximately 3 weeks full-time, there would be 240 completions a month. That's 2,880 per year. In 19 years that would be 54,720--if the stats never went up. That is an ARMY of planet clearers!

Squad - 9 to 10 soldiers. Typically commanded by a sergeant or staff sergeant, a squad or section is the smallest element in the Army structure, and its size is dependent on its function.

Platoon - 16 to 44 soldiers. A platoon is led by a lieutenant with an NCO as second in command, and consists of two to four squads or sections.

Company - 62 to 190 soldiers. Three to five platoons form a company, which is commanded by a captain with a first sergeant as the commander's principle NCO assistant. An artillery unit of equivalent size is called a battery, and a comparable armored or air cavalry unit is called a troop.

Battalion - 300 to 1,000 soldiers. Four to six companies make up a battalion, which is normally commanded by a lieutenant colonel with a command sergeant major as principle NCO assistant. A battalion is capable of independent operations of limited duration and scope.

Brigade - 3,000 to 5,000 solders. A brigade headquarters commands the tactical operation of two to five organic or attached combat battalions. Normally commanded by a colonel with a command sergeant major as senior NCO, brigades are employed on independent or semi-independent operations. Armored cavalry, ranger and special forces units this size are categorized as regiments or groups.

Division - 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers. Usually consisting of three brigade-sized elements and commanded by a major general, divisions are numbered and assigned missions based on their structures. The division performs major tactical operations for the corps and can conduct sustained battles and engagements.

Corps - 20,000 to 45,000 soldiers. Two to five divisions constitute a corps, which is typically commanded by a lieutenant general. As the deployable level of command required to synchronize and sustain combat operations, the corps provides the framework for multi-national operations.

Army - 50,000 + soliders. Typically commanded by a lieutenant general or higher, an army combines two or more corps. Army groups have not been employed by the Army since World War II.

Rather than taking the first $100,000 that came in from people buying SuperPower and building a few auditing rooms with it, the Church of Scientology instead "reasoned" (using their advanced ethics and admin tech) that it would be better to wait 19 years.

So instead of having 55,000 SuperPower planet-clearers, they have 0.

But they do have a $50M piece of real estate owned free and "clear" and over $100M in cash to show. And millions more are rolling in. . .

We won't speculate here on how the Church of Scientology rose above the urgent need to Clear the planet.

Honestly? If Scientologists are stupid enough to give their money to this obvious scam, they actually deserve to lose it.

"Master Legion of Honor"? That's the best title they could come up with? They just aren't even trying, are they?

They surveyed for the best name and Master Legion of Honor came in just ahead of Masturbater with Dishonorable Lesions.

HH, you had me at:

"They have the technology to Clear the planet but they don't have the technology to open the front door"

Funny you mention that line. I was actually debating at the point I wrote that whether I should click "SUBMIT REPLY". It was tempting. LOL.

It would have been much cleaner, but I was kinda curious to see where the post would go if I followed my other instinct to keep writing. I mean, it just seemed absurd that the Church is preaching hellfire and damnation for eternity unless the planet is cleared--but they don't use their magic tech (SuperPower) for two decades.

I wanted to savor every gory detail. LOL

So they're never going to build this thing.

My guess is now that it's not even meant to be an implant station (as my husband thought and as I was wondering)--noo...it's not supposed to ever be built.

The purpose of the ummm...SP building is to get funds. The longer they don't build it, the more they can milk the cash cows.

Sorta like some unlucky female who's kept on the hook by her boyfriend...yes, yes, I'll marry you. Meanwhile, they have child after child, ne'er a ring in sight, nor even a verbal commitment. Year after year goes by...

Gawd.

I think you are right fluffy. I also think that Miscavige knows that if and when it was finished and they started delivering whatever garbage that is to be delivered there that it could be detrimental to the church as more and more people come to realize that "Super Power" really isn't what it was hyped up to be all along. The church is already rife with doubt amongst all of its ranks because of the failure to deliver on the it's part. That would be the last straw for many. The delay is becoming more and more telling all of the time.

Of course they will never build it. It is a ploy.

This is a quote from Hoffer's The True Believer:

"They must know how to kindle and fan an extravagent hope".

If Scientology actually "completed things" like "eradicating the psychs", "clearing the planet", "making OTs", or "delivering Super Power", then there would no longer be the "extravagent hope".

I wonder if Hubbard read Hoffer's book back when it was released in 1951. Because, it seems to me that Hubbard used various key ideas as part of his blueprint for Scientology. Hubbard sure did set it up, and the Church sure does continue to operate it in a way that ALWAYS keeps this "extravagent hope" ALIVE.

The best product to sell is one that you never actually deliver, but which all the people want anyway!

That is done by keeping the promise of the delivering in the future. Some "extravagent hope".

This calculation is what Scientologists need to see. If we were able to deliver one message to Scientologists this would be it. Even when I was in Scientology I thought about this type of logic but I decided not to look too deeply. Other people who are in must be thinking this.

Come on, don't you know how the scam works?

They'll start delivering Super Power. There will be lots of success stories, but no one will get the benefits they were promised. Then there will be a big IAS event and li'l Dave will announce that some shithead wog architect designed the rooms wrong, and that is why Super Power isn't working!

Then they'll raise more funds, tear down the building, build a new one, celebrate the re-opening, get all the Super Power (let's not call it "SP!!!") completions to take the NEW course over again.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Just like LRH dictated in the Come-On Dissemination PL.
