Frink's too busy pimping out his mom on myredbook.com to even read this thread.

Stop playing his edits backwards. That way leads to madness. ;)
I have a hard enough time playing his edits forward.
Man it would suck if Frink died before 30k.
All hail Frink.
I gave reave some KY Jelly and a COPS DVD.
I have no idea who Biff is. I'm gonna just start throwing out random names.

Any of those guys?
Grammar thingies I hate.
- I refuse to type a period before the end of "a quoted thing that just happens to end this sentence". Unless it ends the paragraph, then I'll follow the ruels.
- Lie/lied/lay/laid. Fuck you, I say'd whatever word feels right when I lay'd down at night.
- Garmmar Nahtzees and The Usage Police.
- I still don't know how to properly hyphenate ages. "Forty-two year-old" or "Forty-two-year-old"? Shirley it comes across wrong when I say "I like having sex with forty two year old women."

Jamie DeWolf comments on how ex-Scientologists find it difficult to reject his great-grandfather's teachings despite any problems they may have with the way Scientology is run. Former devotees of other belief systems tend to be vocally opposed to everything they once believed in but not so much with the ex-Scientology crowd.
Is that because of the investment personal and financial.
It seems to be very draining in terms of cash and time. I can understand the desire to get some sort of return from all that.
I'm sorry I missed this post earlier.
Everybody is different in why they believe in Scn and what keeps them in. Sure, time and money investments make you stay. But for most it's because they felt they made gains in auditing or ran out "past life incidents". That shit's key, if you go track in session it's hard to not see the tech as the holy truth.

L Ron also seemed to have a very strange cadence to his voice (especially in later years) is it possible he may have been forced to say the things he said because of brain washing or blackmail?
Eh, I don't know about blackmail. Maybe.
Brain washing, yeah totally. He brain washed himself before writing Book One.

Is it really as hard to leave scientology as the internet would have me believe?
Short answer: Yes. I read Jefferson Hawkin's blog/book, "Counterfeit Dreams" and he speaks sooth.
Longer answer: It depends on a few main factors. If you don't have any family or close friends in Scientology and you're not working in the Sea Organization, then it's just a matter of walking out the door and saying, "See ya later guys. Let me know how all this goes for you."
I wasn't in the Sea Org but I worked at my local Church ("the org"). I got family in so I couldn't just skeedaddle when the veil fell from my eyes. All org staff members are contracted volunteers; you choose a 2 1/2 or a 5 year term. When you're done and you opt to not resign, there's a lot of hoops to jump through. You can leave before your contract ends but it could get messy.
A year before my time expired I had a heart-to-heart with the Corrections Officer, explaining how I wasn't on the same page as everybody else. I did a lengthy "Doubt Condition" and got myself started on the "Leaving Staff Routing Form." Then it was just hanging out in the background, keeping a low profile until it was all over. The last time I was in the org I made it pretty clear where I stood. I had just finished a "confessional" but they felt I was still withholding crimes. I was threatened with a "Suppressive Person Declare" if I didn't get a new "Security Check." My reply was, "If you don't let me leave right now, I'm gonna call the police." So they let me leave. Two years later, I haven't been declared yet.
Well, look at that.
What does YSCOHB mean?
Man, that Bingowings 'decimated' exchange was hilarious. Oh yeah, stay on target.
Hey Frink do you happen to have ADigitalMan's Episode IV and Episode VI? I know you said you don't have many OT edits but I'm just checkin. You know, in case you got em.

Will there be a role-playing section?
He added the section!
lawls.
Looks like you missed it bro. Once in a lifetime deal, that's what chat boxes are all about.
Didn't miss much though. One guy said some stupid stuff, another guy pretended to be old OT socks and said more stupid stuff. Then the admin banned everybody.

Hmm, was Neg nuChaz?
No. I was only a couple Pink Floyd related people at the very beginning. I left before the craziness really started.
DominicCobb said:
I was the original Chaz. Then I came back and I didn't even know what was going on.
I liked nuChaz better. JEDI HULK was pretty funny. All those fake Frinks freaked me out.
Oh and yeah, I agree with Silverwook about not stirring up too much trouble. Don't be a lemming.
I am nobody.

Your mom is a filthy disease-ridden whore.
Not much lolz from this guy. Obvious jokes are obvious.
Frink, say hi to your mother for me.
I'm holding out for a Page 4 bump.
Every time I see this thread title I start singing "Dosed" in my head.
This is the place
where all the junkies go.
Where time goes fast
but everything stays slow.

What do you think of Tom Cruise....Is he doing Scientology harm or good?
(Serious question)
There's a lot I could say when talking about TC, but to keep it brief...
Currently he's doing harm, but he did a TON of good for a period.
If you had asked me this back in late 2004/early 2005 it would have been an emphatic GOOD. He knew we have an opportunity to really help, for the FIRST TIME; and effectively change people's lives. He's dedicated to that; absolutely, uncompromisingly DEDICATED to that.
I was there for that event (Oct/Nov 2004) and it was very effective at "rekindling failed purposes". This video was reshown many times and used as a tool for many Scientology personnel; registrars (salesmen), recruiters, IAS fundraisers ("war chest" fundraising) and Ethics Officers (police). Many people gave money after watching (with some persuasion afterwards). Many people became more active in disseminating Scientology. Many people joined staff or the Sea Org. Some were guilted into it, others firmly believed that Scn is the solution to humanity's problems. That event was a huge shot in the arm to true blue Scientologists.
Then he started being an idiot with the media. His "Freedom Medal of Valor" video leak was the biggest inciting incident in Anonymous' attack on Scientology. And he continues to say stupid things (see recent comparisons to US soldiers or Olympic runners).
To me Tom Cruise is an excellent example of the arrogance that some Scientologists have. Any rational person can see that he's just putting himself on a pedestal. I mean shit, I've never met a Scn'ist who actually believes that if they pass an accident on the highway they know they're the only person who can help the victim.
Oh and he's made some good movies so yay TC.

Do you believe in aliens?
I do believe that there are intelligent beings in this universe other than us Earth people. I don't believe in any name specific aliens, no.

and have you been probed?
Negative.
