What I fail to understand is that you come to this forum as a champion of Hubbard and his tech whilst knowing full well that most who frequent here are critical of the Great OT.
Then you seem suprised at comments and replies to you?
Don't you think that you are choosing a rod for your own back?
That's a really excellent point.
It has been endlessly fascinating to me since I first joined ESMB (Jan 2009) that many blown COS Scientologists wanted to come here to PROMOTE Dr. Hubbard's Clear/OT "workable" technology.
Quite obviously the "workable" tech did not work, or they would not have blown from the Church of Scientology. Oh, what's that you say? You are saying that they blew even though the tech does work--because there are SPs in the COS who are mean and alter the tech? Right, that's what I'm saying--the tech didn't work or the OTs would have handled or gotten rid of their SPs and out-KSW.
Note to Indie Scientologists: You can't have it both ways. Either the tech
works (in which case SPs, PTSes, Out-KSW, out-tech, out-ethics and squirreling would have all be very easily fixed), OR none of those problems could be fixed because the tech
doesn't work. Pick one.
Back to the main point--why do blown COS Scientologists (who are still Scientologists) want to come to a website that is 97.5% EX-Scientologists in order to try and disseminate Hubbard's Bridge?
Why?
After years of "listing" this puzzling paradox, I have what I think is an obvious and simple answer. (WARNING: Indie Scientologists, you should not read beyond this point because severe restimulation and/or case upset can result):
REASON WHY:
Because Scientologists are, by default, desperate people.
* Desperate to get "agreement" on the Commodore's technology. Because "agreement" is reality. And in the unstable, erratic, chaotic, delusionally dedicated world of trying to apply Hubbard's technology (which doesn't work) one is continuously met with stress, upset and severe disappointment. And one remedy to all that horrible anxiety (it seems to the Scientologist) is to get others to AGREE that the tech will work. Because, hopefully (they believe), if people AGREE, it will become "true for them".
* Desperately lonely. It's a cruel, lonely existence to be an "Operating Thetan" on a prison planet. Who can a supernaturally-powered being "two-way com" or "play uptone games" with? So the Indie (blown COS Scientologists) make their cyber pilgrimage to the Mecca of Misunderstoods (ESMB) where misguided squirrels & SPs (us) are unproductively stuck "off lines" and "off the Bridge". Jeez! This is just what an Indie is looking for--someone to handle with the tech! Because that keeps them super-busy where they don't have time to think about how in 30-40 years of being in Scientology, nobody (including themselves) was able to handle their own case. It's the same pathetic syndrome within the COS where decades-long staff members are still not OT VIII, nor OT III, nor even Clear! Yet they labor endlessly without pay or other consideration to "handle" and "clear" all the beings "on this planet". Desperate, I tell ya! lol
* Desperately unable to find anyone who will listen to them. Scientologists desperately need to "itsa" to get their "case gain" and "cognitions" and "floating needles" and "blowout wins". In order to "itsa" one need a "terminal". In the real (wog) world, people are busy and don't want to listen to Hubbard's bizarre, cringy, creepy sci-fi stories---as retold by ever-so-eager Scientologists who grin while dutifully repeating Hubbard's ridiculous pseudo-scientific scripture. Wogs laugh and evaluate and invalidate Scientologists trying to weave their magic mythological web of "Hey, we are all omnipotent Gods who lost our powers trillions of years ago and now we are degraded slaves on a prison planet. But we can fix all that in a jiffy with Dr. Hubbard's magical auditing commands!" So--nobody will listen to the hapless Indies, yet their frantic compulsion to find a "safe terminal" rages within. Now, the arrive at ESMB and begin to sell Hubbard's tall tales to people who routinely reject & ridicule the lunacy of the cruel hoax known as Scientology. Even with that relentless jeering, Indies often stick around because what is their alternative? They can't find wogs who will listen and at least people on ESMB don't slam the door in their face--they actually RESPOND to the Indie's sales pitch. A bad response is better than no response, so the Indie hangs around. By the way, this is the same exact reason why COS orgs keep sending the same fail-mail promotional materials to the same "CF" names for 20,30,40 or even 50 years after the person has blown and never once responded. That's why orgs keep calling and promoting to blown Scientologists who change their phone numbers or repeatedly scream and demand that they be removed from the orgs central files mailing/calling list. The COS has nobody who will listen to them either.
* Desperate to get that old FN-ey feeling back, even if only for a brief moment. Scientologists are well practiced in the art of mental masturbation and giving themselves thrills with whole track imagination and other delusional feelings of OT grandeur. When they left the COS, all that wonderful world was lost to them--for, they could not look deeply into a lower-level Scientologist's eyes with that gleaming-eyed, all-knowing grin certainty as they assured others that they had "made it" to OT. Yeah, it's creepy how Scientologists lie to other Scientologists in order to pump up their own sense of superiority and produce that momentary, euphoric "FN" sensation. The blown COS Scientologist doesn't have a captive audience of auditors, case supervisors, D of P's, and other Scientologists (called to applaud them spontaneous "musters" or graduations). They have nobody to run their OT game on, so they come to ESMB (or anywhere really) that is willing to at least listen to their huge wins--even if the response is to laugh at it. That's desperate, folks, desperate.
Scientologists: They're desperate, delusional deities. And Gods typically like to have mortals who behold them with awe and worship them. So these OT Gods need to find a "safe space" to sell their story. Hey, the internet! That's a bright idea! Especially talk forums where there are "rules of conduct" that prevent people from saying what they really think about their stupidly imaginary OT powers. LOL
