I assumed most here had saw things like this on a daily basis. Two years ago I started saving all these things in a folder and I just looked and there are 4277 in it and I am sure I have missed some. Many are duplicates and many promoting events but KC over the last 6 months has started doing these. I thought this one particularly stupid. I will send a few as they come if everyone wants but I didn't want to clutter the board with things everyone has already seen.

Whoa! LOL.
That was a very strange mixture of mismatched marketing elements!
-- Oddly grinning Scientologists that have been nonsensically awarded flowers and an Ideal certificate.
-- Celebrating the Orwellian status of "17X HUMANITARIAN"--a tortured attempt to statistically quantify what percentage of mankind you have saved on this planet--by how much cash you handed to Scientology management. And the people awarding the status have no humanitarian inventory to give out, because they are using the money not for "mankind" but instead to benefit themselves, their highly profitable commercial enterprises, their fraudulent schemes & to support the billionaire life style of their sociopathic gurus.
-- Horses! (nobody knows why this is religious, ideal, humanitarian or sane)
But the most fascinating part to me is that lower-most copywriting jingle. I have seen 100s of such Scientology promotional pieces that all have the same command to "UP YOUR STATUS!" It never fails to stun when pausing to consider that grown adults can be talked into being excited about "upping their status".
How did that become a thing?
For Scientology's first 6 decades or so, the only thing was to "up" your case state. To go "up" the bridge. To go "up" the tone scale. To "up" your knowingness and cause level until you were 100% certain and "total cause". That apparently didn't work out for Scientologists, either to its pitchmen or the defrauded dupes who paid millions for miraculous powers.
So, one day (apparently) while upstanding members of the IAS were snoozing, the marketing scheme was completely revamped into selling "statuses" instead of OT states of being. Remarkably, both are claimed to be pricelessly valuable whilst being entirely invisible and unverifiable.
Yet, Scientologists seem to love being ordered to "up" their status. They willingly get dressed up and go to these events. They allow themselves to be hard-sold and coerced into donating more money than they can ever afford.
All for a lapel pin and a certificate. And, naturally, fondly recalled mental image pictures of horses.
If after reading this you find yourself feeling blank as to how/why Scientologists could conceivably allow themselves to be so thoroughly bamboozled & betrayed by bullshit, it is probably a misunderstood on the term "IAS". Clear that MU and everything else makes sense!

A recurring new feature on the stupid thread would be so cool, if you want to post some of your favorites! It might be good to just pick & showcase one (1) "Preternatural Promo Piece" at a time, so anyone can comment, cringe or collapse (with laughter) without going mad from a lethal stupid overdose! LOL.
If we pick the right pace (guessing maybe like 1-3 a week?) it might be a very digestible & delicious dessert! But, post as many as you like, everyone will love it!
Fun!!

I had to retread my first comm course because of this (like you, I wasn't unhappy with the course)--I just didn't want to write a success story). I learned, like everyone else, to write a banal success story every time, after that. I now think that the reason for the extorted success stories is so that, once you leave, they can say "but you got wins out of every course. Look, it's in your own handwriting".
PART II: The tale of a super-upstat Scientologist who is so high-toned, ethical and causative that they can "have" 22 different identities--to sign a pro-Scientology petition 22 times!

Dear Advance! Mag Readers,
It's that time again, where I am on the hunt to find the best OT Phenomena out there. These stories will be going into the next Advance!Mag and are always a favorite for Scientologists everywhere.
Therefore, I want you to send me any OT Phenomena you've experienced recently or that haven't been published in a prior Advance! It's sometimes easy to forget that not everyone else experiences what you do as an OT or Scientologist. So please write up any great OT Phenomena that you've experienced recently or your favorite that you have experienced and send it back to me in this email.
And remember you don’t have to be OT to experience OT Phenomena, so please do send any and all OT Phenomena stories that you have experienced—they are all welcome! OT Phenomena is all around us.

I suppose I could write an OT win on getting you, Anonycat and HH wound up.... MimseyThere ya go Mimsey, what are you waiting for mate?![]()
I've always thought one of the more colossal stupids in scn was the old adage: You have to BE ot to GO ot.
Oh, rlly??!?
If that's the case I think I'll just BE ot and skip the cert, the endless thousands of $, the endless sec checks, bogus ethics actions etc and just BE ot.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

And now, something quite sensational---an inadvertently revealing, re-published letter from Scientology management to Scientologists.
A thousand thanks to cleared cannibal for posting PROOF POSITIVE that ex-scientology SPs have been 100% right all along!
That is exactly the point that SPs have been making since 1950!
Scientology forgot to mention another closely related OT law:
You don't have to be OT to experience the OT Phenomena of receiving an OT completion certificate.
