But but ......I don't understand.......

According to the letter....."There are 6.8 billion people on the planet, but only a HANDFUL of trained Scientologists." ?????????

What happened to the 10 million Scientologists that the delusional dwarf always brags about during those god awful Birthday Events.

Mmmmm....... we must be doing a really good job of "enlightening" SO members if there is only a handful left!!!!

 

[thetanic]

And only 2.5 billion of them are "wogs" (I hate that term, racist, xenophobic term that it is).

The post title is captain and his rank is lieutenant, I'm guessing.

 

[Dulloldfart]

The post title is captain and his rank is lieutenant, I'm guessing.

Yes. And the Lieutenant (brevet) rank goes automatically with the post of Sea Org org commanding officer. If he got turfed off the post, then his rank would be whatever his earned rank or rating is (Chief Petty Officer or whatever).

Dear Scientologist,

There are 6.8 billion people on this planet and only a handful of trained Scientologists. That's why I am writing to you.

LRH states: "A Scientologist is the being three feet behind society's head... A trained Scientologist is not a doctor. He is someone with special knowledge in the handling of life. ... It is my opinion and knowledge that auditors are amongst the upper tenth of the upper twentieth of intelligent human beings."

Here's something I've wanted to do for a long time: critical thinking and comment, line by line, of the clam's or the big clam's writings:

Zorg's Translation:

Dear Hypnotically Suggestible Mostly White Person with Money, Material Goods and Time To Waste,

There are 6.8 billion people on this planet and only a handful of trained Scientologists. After 56 years, DON'T ask "Why?"That's why I am writing to you. I'm going to try and get your goods, your money and your life.

The drug using old con-artist fiction writing founder that died from his last of strokes over 15 years states: "A $cientologist is the being three feet behind society's head... which doesn't ever happen but I say it does so don't question it or else... A trained $cientologist is not a doctor. He trains just as long but doesn't usually have 2 cents to rub together. He again, is told, without the ability or right to question or disagree, someone with special knowledge in the delusion of truly handling of life,. ... It is my opinion and generally unprovable or researchable knowledge that auditors are amongst the upper tenth of the upper twentieth of intelligent human beings. They are however, in the uppermost percentile of suggestible people desperately looking for God, without results".

Wash cycle complete. Start rinse cycle...

lol - too pooped and tired to continue

 

[Mystic]

They need more trained implanters...er...auditors. Yeah, sure they do.

In the words of that world-famous French philosopher: "Phuque 'em"

In the words of that famous song: Phuque 'em once and phuque 'em twice and phuque 'em once again.

That is correct. Captain of ASHOD is the post, Lieutenant is his "posted" rank.

His actual rank is much lower.

And if memory serves he's more like a PO-3, maybe higher by now.

He lost his old rank after doing the RPF.

This is true for most high rank people. Most of them were given the ranks because of there posts. So, don't let the gold lanyard fool you, they didn't necessarily earn the rank their wearing.

If you see a Lieutenant letter writer, you know buy god that he/she earned that rank! LOL

"buy god" ??? That's quite the double typo.

Hmmmm, by my reckoning, there seems to be an awful lot of clams on this board.

Thanks Paul. I figured that was the answer, but I was more or less asking a facetious question to add drama.

Interesting to see how people go up and down in rank so. Thanks also to others for the input. I know of one person who was "Captain" of an org back in 1985, and he is now a letter reg (still in SO).

 

[R6Basic]

which is it????

"It is my opinion and knowledge that ..."

Which is it Ron? You opinion OR your Knowledge? Or did he, in using these words, finally come out and say - If its my opinion then it is my knowledge and being my knowledge it is now true.

If I remember correctly, the "Captain" is not the Commanding Officer of the org, but only a "PR spokesperson" post, much like Heber, as "President" of the Co$ did not really run anything outside of his own PR operations.

The title is to make people think they are talking to somebody with decision-making powers, so they don't bother the real CO with their silly complaints/issues.

Thanks.

I think they keep changing their minds on this one. Back in the 80's at CCI, there was a "Captain" who actually ran the org and then there was the "President" who was the PR person and the person who managed affairs with regard to handling the big celebrity clientele.

No. That only applies to CCInt and CSI as far as I know (President CSI being in OSA Int, and President US being in OSA US, unless they changed it. "Captain" is just a fancy name for CO. Makes it seem more ship-like. I think it started in the US with just one or two orgs, and after a bit they all did it. Contagion of aberration.

Big flunk to all. Wrong definition!

rank2 (răngk)

Growing profusely or with excessive vigor: rank vegetation in the jungle.
Yielding a profuse, often excessive crop; highly fertile: rank earth.
Strong and offensive in odor or flavor.
Conspicuously offensive: rank treachery. See synonyms at flagrant.

fix'd.

I got that letter, too. It's even more bizarre to me because it pushed for me to contact Psadena Org and I am not a trained classed auditor and I never took any courses at ASHO, only auditing.

Yes, and there was an ad nauseum parade of promo, mostly post cards, to join up as new ohmygodbestevah LA Org. My husband and I each got promo, though never involved or on their previous mailing list, and with yet another misspelling, which means xxx number of new multiple promo waste.

Uh oh. This means higher orgs are selling or giving mailing lists to other and even lower orgs. that's a big no no, u know. OMG, does this mean squirrels are nibbling at the core? say it isn't so, joe!

Yeah, the OT's are keeping the planet here, but I guess they couldn't cap a little ole oil spill!

Keeping the planet here, for gawd's sake!!!???

In the ship days there was a post of "Port Captain" which was a shore-relations PR post. For some reason I thought I recalled a point where the FSO had both a CO and a Captain, where the latter was a PR post, and thought the setup was similar in other SO orgs. I may have mis-remembered (or maybe Alzheimers is catching up to me )
