Top 100 Stupid Moments in Scientology PART 4

HelluvaHoax!

.

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.




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!!

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!

IAS: International Association of Somnambulists


I mentioned earlier that scio sells delusions. The emphasis for awhile has been selling statuses with a bonus of a bouquet of flowers and a real bona fide certificate.

It all seems to come down to selling F/Ns. The bigger the F/N the more you pay.

Sounds good to me kind of like Mikes's Thursday funnies. I have sent him a couple over the last couple years and they did show up in that. Not sure it it was because I sent them or not. It would be best if I could do it the same day weekly but not I am that organized. If I could look back through and show it is the same old s--- would be good too but that make take til I have some time. In the mean time hot off the press today.

MIRACLE TESTOSTERONE PILL NETS BIGGEST DEAL IN SHARK TANK HISTORY.

"This pill is amazing," says Hollywood star John Travolta. "I secretly used it to satisfy both my wife and mistress nonstop for months! And my wife would never have found out about my affair if my supplies hadn't run out."

Whoa, Scientology is really expanding their "zones"! LOL

I had to remind myself that this was not some kind of joke/parody, because:

It wouldn't be Scientology if it didn't have gratuitous, glory-grabbing, gravitas-growing, gargantuan geography!


On this PLANET!

In this SECTOR!

Across their ZONE!



Quod Erat Demonstratum
: Big beings take big responsibility for big spaces because they have big havingness and play big games with big stats, thereby gaining big status by making big donations! Ergo, Scientology is a big deal!

No, RogerB, no way it's real. John Travolta has intimate male friends, not mistresses. :no:


What you are saying makes perfect logical sense.

But, since this is crazy-cult Scientology, I reserve the right to ponder the possibility of a preternaturally preposterous paradox:

To wit, that John Travolta is purposely pretending & promoting that he is out ethics with mistresses in order to handle the pr-predicament and perception that he is out-ethics with gay lovers.

Scientology Slogan: "Just keep donating! We'll let you know when your needle floats and your ethics is in!"

Interesting post from the thread "WHAT I HATED ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY" about the never-ending demand on Scientologists to write Success Stories.

-----



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".


HellYeah, having "success" and writing a "success story" was not optional--it was demanded! There were penalties for non-compliance, usually financial (having to retread a course, buy review auditing, et al).

Scieno-Scenario: A Scientologist has just done the last clay demo on the HUBBARD CODE OF HONOR COURSE and they are sent to the examiner to attest to completion of the course.




EXAMINER
So, do you have any doubts or reservations about attesting
to the completion of your Hubbard Code of Honor Course?

STUDENT
No.

EXAMINER
Your needle is floating!

STUDENT
Cool.

EXAMINER
Would you want others to have similar gains
to your own?

STUDENT
Sure, why not.

EXAMINER
Your needle is floating! Would
you like to write a success story?

STUDENT
No, I'm good. Thanks for asking.

EXAMINER
What are your considerations about writing a
success story?

STUDENT
Nothing really. Just don't feel like it today. I know my wins
and I am satisfied, so, hey, I'm good to go!

EXAMINER
(facial expression turns dark)
Let's take another look at that. . .

STUDENT
...okay, I took another look at it.
No. No, I don't want to write one.

EXAMINER
No, this is NOT okay! What the hell
is wrong with you? Everyone writes
success stories. Why do you have to
be different than everyone else?

STUDENT
It's not that. It's just that YOU ASKED me if
I wanted to write a success story and my answer
was "no". So that's what I learned from my Hubbard
Code of Honor Course! Ron states in #8 of the Code of
Honor: "Do not give or receive communication unless
you yourself desire it."



The glaring examiner angrily slams an Ethics Routing Form on the desk. CUT TO:

INSIDE THE ORG'S ETHICS OFFICE - ONE HOUR LATER



STUDENT
...so my last item on the checksheet was to do a big clay demo
of how I would keep my Code of Honor in by applying he LRH datum
"Do not give or receive communication unless you yourself desire it".
I passed that clay demo and now I feel really good
about how I am applying this tech!


ETHICS OFFICER
Okay, I'm not asking you to write a success story,
I am ordering you to write a success story!

STUDENT
But I don't with to give this communication...
I don't desire it! Per Ron's tech, point #8 of
my Code of Honor is totally in!

ETHICS OFFICER
I am assigning you a condition of Doubt, since
you can't make up your mind if you want to
write your success story or not.

STUDENT
Wait, I can't be in doubt, because I did make up
my mind. I decided I don't want to write a success story.

ETHICS OFFICER
Then you have dropped down into Enemy!

STUDENT
How am I in "Enemy" if I had wins and
got an FN at the Examiner?

ETHICS OFFICER
Because not writing a Success Story is counter
intention against the aims and goals of L. Ron Hubbard.
Only an Enemy would sabotage Ron's dream
of a Clear planet, on this planet.

STUDENT
What's the difference if I write it down or if
the success is in my head?

ETHICS OFFICER
I warned you about this. Now you are downgraded
to Treason. Betrayal after trust! We trusted that
if we allowed you to do the Code of Honor Course
you would have honor--and thus write a success story!

STUDENT
But the Code of Honor doesn't say anything about that.
It says I don't have to give communication unless I desire it!

ETHICS OFFICER
But you do desire it.

STUDENT
No, I don't desire it.

ETHICS
Now you have been downgraded to
Confusion. Find out where you are!

STUDENT
I'm in the ethics office. And I still don't
want to write a success story.

ETHICS OFFICER
Sorry, we have to apply the next gradient
of ethics. I am issuing a Non-Enturbulation
Order on you right this second. One more
instance of enturbulating any Scientologist
and you will be declared SP!

STUDENT
Whatttttt? Who did I enturbulate?

ETHICS OFFICER
You enturbulated the Examiner. And now
you are enturbulating me, your Ethics Officer.
And I am additionally assigning you a massive
amends project and also buying and donating
a full set of "The Basics" to the local library.

STUDENT
..but I still don't desire to give this communication.

ETHICS OFFICER
Fuck you! Make that 2 sets of basics.

STUDENT
Okay, okay, okay. I do desire to give the
communication already--just give me a blank success story form.

ETHICS OFFICER
Very Well Done! I knew you would come to your senses
because Ron says that Ethics is something the being
does by themselves, on their own determinism! So you
should be very proud of doing this all yourself. Do
you want to write a 2nd success story about that win?!

STUDENT
(apathetic affect--robotically dull monotone voice)
Yes.I.would.be.more.than.happy.
to.write.a.2nd.success.story.

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!

Kate, I have great news for you. Your petition uplines has finally been
approved and you are now going to be allowed to do your next OT level.

KATE
I'm no longer an illegal pc?!!! WOW WOW WOW!!

ETHICS OFFICER
Congratulations!!! See, I told you 5 years ago if you did lots
of "contributions" to the 4th dynamic that eventually you might
get clearance to do OT VII! By the way, that last major COMMENDATION
REPORT really helped where you made it go right to mock up 22 new
beingnessess with new names in order to block the IRS from reviewing our
religious tax status! That was so awesomely OT and such a super ethics win!

KATE
Thanks! I am so honored to help my church and Ron
and COB and you and all the Scientologists on this planet!


(Someone walks in and hands the
Ethics Officer a report. He reads it)


ETHICS OFFICER
Kate, or whatever your name is. I am afraid I have some very bad
news. Your ethics clearance has been revoked! Because of all these
crazy out ethics rogue acts you have been doing with signing a petition
dozens of times! What were you thinking???!!! You are assigned
Treason for betraying everyone on this planet!

KATE
Whatttttt? You just said 30 seconds ago that I was a super upstat
for signing the petition 22 times. What the hell happened??!!!

ETHICS OFFICER
You got caught, you fucking DB piece of suppressive shit!

:hysterical: That was hilarious, HH!

Or how about:

ETHICS OFFICER: I have the responses from the IJC regarding your petitions to remove your illegal pc status so you can receive auditing.

KATE: Oh, that's wonderful!

ETHICS OFFICER: I'm sorry, I was speaking to Katherine. Can you put her on, please?

KATHERINE: Oh, that's wonderful!

ETHICS OFFICER: Great. Katherine/Catherine, you have 500 amends hours on one petition answer, an SP Declare on another, an A-J on another petition, 200 hours of sec checks on another, a re-do of the Purification Program, SRD, Objectives and Grades on another, and a reinstatement of your illegal pc status until next lifetime on three others.

KATHERINE: Which should I do?

ETHICS OFFICER: Why all of them, of course. They are all legal orders. After you complete all your amends, sec checks, etc., then you have to wait three lifetimes for auditing. But you were so OT using all those names to sign petitions, that I'm sure you'll get this done in no time. Now I need to speak to Kate/Cate, please.

CATE/KATE: What did the IJC say to me?

ETHICS OFFICER: He declared you PTS Type 2, PTS Type 1, a Degraded Being, a Tiger and Open-Minded. He said you can re-petition for auditing after 100 hours of sec checks to verify you haven't received Pain Drug Hypnosis under psychiatrists.

CATE/KATE: At least I'm not an SP.

ETHICS OFFICER: But Katherine is an SP, but it's okay, you'll need the next two lifetimes to finish your amends by signing our petitions on the Internet. Just an eyeblink out of a billion years, and then you're free! For so many names, those lifetimes will go so fast, you won't even miss them. Well done on producing so many IDs! It really helps us save the planet! You are very OT for an OPEN-MINDED PTS DB TIGER SP!

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.

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!

I knew an OT (briefly the ED of our mission) who used to say "Be OT now!" -- kind of mixing up scn and Baba Ram Dass.

Oh, you don't have to be OT to wind me up mate, people who write 'died in the wool' when they mean 'dyed in the wool' or 'I could care less' when they mean 'I couldn't care less' or pronounce nuclear 'nucular' do that. It's just too easy. :biggrin:

LOL

Yeah, but every time someone tries to wind me up with Tall Tech Tales, I think it backfires--because that inspires me to do even more debunking/J&D and commit even more high crimes designed to derail people from routing onto Ron's scientific bridge to freedom, on this planet[SUP]*[/SUP].




[SUP]*[/SUP] As an OT, I believe it is vitally important designate which planet I am operating on for any given project/cycle, so as not to send others off on random wild goose chases around the universe. Substantial amounts of DevT can thusly be eliminated and the lost production time can then be re-directed to Clearing the planet, on this planet.
