Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? Do Scientologists tend to uncover things like this about a prospective member immediately, during the initial personality test? Would they have known within the first 1/2 hour of making contact with him that they had a live one?
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? There was that (failure of an) article in the NYT that mentioned they had googled the author. Not that there was google back then, so I'm not sure how they would have figured that out. But they do look into people's history.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? Yeah, and he started to talk about Miscavige violence after Jeff Hawkins, Marc Headley, Larry Brennan, Bruce Hines, etc. already went on the record re. Miscavige.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? On the ex-scientologist message board, that linked to this thread, a poster said that Marty's mom was into dianetics. That would explain a LOT. I'm sure dianetics quickened her downward spiral and prevented her from getting real help from medical professionals. Years later Marty devotes himself to what he thinks was his mom's "philosophy" or whatever, blind to the fact it probably contributed to her jump. Also, regardless of Marty being a dick, I think picking on a person because his mother committed suicide is the type of evil shit only worthy of Scientology.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? I think he might get worried about mocking up his whole track just like what mommy did.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? You are absolutely right. Have a cookie. When you wake up, all will be "right as rain". You are in control of your life. Don't worry about the vase.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? If she was in Dianetics her ruin was probably alcohol. The whole thing is sad. Dianetics couldn't help her of course and that must have made her feel much worse. I wonder if his dad was a scientologist.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? If she died in 1962... 20 years of waiting before taking on a new body... She should be 27 right now incarnated.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? She would be about 19 or 20ish. We're dating, I picked her up at the gay bar.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? There is no "time" restriction on [strike]hijacking[/strike] picking up a different body [strike] some have many at once[/strike]. That 20 year thing is permissible LOA if you are SO.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? When you say she was "in Dianetics" do you mean "in Dianetics" as in the book? Well that would explain the scar on Marty's head it does look like he had a coat hanger rammed through his head.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? That was self inflicted. Poor sod was learning to eat with a fork.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? I thought it might have been from one of the stories in Hubbard's dance of the knitting needles or coat hanger symphony also known as Dianetics
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? /bow I think that is where Dn/Scn went off the rails. Inability to "reject"/ find humor. You may or may not have read "Keeping Scientolgy Working"--suffice it to say it is "srsbzns". A laughable companion is the "Jokers and Degraders" bulletin. There is also a "Spirit of Play" essay wherein LRH describes the essence of OT. "Insouciance" is an interesting word that minimally describes it. Read it--maybe learn something, or maybe not. I am just a fool.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? Man that blog and this thread is like twilight zone WWP. Like a dark hearted troll and all but you guys are leaving me speechless. Carry on, it's not often I'm surprised by the depravity of man.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? You need to visit the internet more often, if you need a few links of sites to help surprise you even further, let me know
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? No, that's very interesting, and it makes sense. There is no room for laughing in CoS. Unless you're Tom Cruise laughing like a manic freak.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? seriously? This bothers you? Have you... been on the Internet outside wwp ever?
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? It bothers me to see the blogger amused and glorying in the fact that someone's mother killed herself, no matter what Rathbun has done. I'm not surprised by it, I just think it's repulsive.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? *inserts speculation causing stupid noobs to shout out "epic win!"*
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? Paging Yahrly to the thread please... Paging Yahrly and his sig to the thread... Yahrly and sig to the thread... Thank yooou.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? You could go with an alternate interpretation: "OMG the flesh I have wrought has been taken over by [Marty Rathbun] /jump" There. Better? Dint think so. You might consider taking some vitamin B1
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? do you really want to take that bet? What do you expect? this is the Internet.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? I, for one, thinks that king nerd deserves all the chances in the world, for his wonderful and dutiful contributions to the cause that is Chanology.
Re: Marty Rathbun's Mother An Heroed? I, for one, think that you're an asshat. doesn't make it true. On another note, does anyone know if Marty saw this? I'd be curious to see if his "OT auditor powers of not reacting to anything" have worked for him.
