Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" More like. Which to be fair is way better than Miscavige anyway.
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" I agree although I recognise the independent scientologists rights to the practice their belief in "the tech" for their own use even though it can be damaging. They need to be educated about the dangers though but that is a tricky thing to do.
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" Yes. And it also answers the question on the other thread. My vote for loon.
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" I think Marty follows this Strategy. (Yes I know you posted that earlier somewhere)
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" Yes, for their Own use, they can talk to dead people and aliens all day long. It's when they step out and practice this magic on others that they enter into the realms and laws of practicing mental health treatments and processes, according to the laws they live in. That is the core of the problem. Scientologists do not believe they should be subject to the same peer reviews, studies, education, training, guidelines, certifications, rules and laws.
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" What will we do if Marty and his acolytes take to the streets and start knocking hats off peoples' heads using OT telekinesis? LRH used to get a lot of lulz doing that in London f
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" I'm not sure which appendage LRH actually used, but he did brag to UK followers that Dianetics produced telekinesis abilities. LRH said it was fun to go down in the street and use those powers to knock hats off people's heads. IIRC It turned into an insider "meme" to claim witness to LRH bopping off somebody's bowler. f
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" There are a lot of LRH stories, but usually they're said by people who've had Hubbard groping their brains. At least one person later found that Hubbard had been using post-hypnotic suggestions on him, including one to forget the whole thing. It wouldn't surprise me if Hubbard planted a number of these "memories". (Once it got going, the stories would probably snowball on their own.) A vague suggestion like "You'll remember that the other day I waved my hand, and the hat of someone across the street blew off, but it was no big deal" would probably work.
Re: Marty's making "real, live OTs" Holy Mackeral, LRH could tell a whale of a story. I know it sounds fishy but after floundering around the waterfront for a while, Kirstie Allie cod eat a whale just for the halibut.
