Xenu Apocrypha: When Xenu met Lucifer
Jonathon Barbera
Xenu Apocrypha: When Xenu met Lucifer
Xenu was sitting on his glorious throne in the center of a
fortress-like palace, deep underground. The mutilated bodies of
molested children lay strewn in piles. The odor of burnt cold medicine
was in the air as Xenu was a serious stimulant addict.
Lucifer entered the throne room and approached Xenu. Lucifer was
Xenu's own right-hand enforcer. Lucifer was the second highest ranking
of everyone in the Galactic Confederacy (known to them euphemistically
as the Kingdom of Heaven).
Lucifer's Gestapo had become disillusioned with eternal slavery to a
ruthless tyrant. Xenu depended on Lucifer's Gestapo to maintain fear
and obedience throughout the Kingdom of Heaven. Were the Gestapo to
defect, Xenu would be quickly arrested by Michael's Guardians and then
tried and convicted by Gabriel's administrative Messengers.
Lucifer approached the throne of Xenu and announced in the loudest
voice that could be mustered, staring the evil tyrant directly in the
eyes, "Let my people go!"
Xenu screamed, "You are NOT God! I AM GOD!"
Lucifer responded, "No, you're just another god damned liar. No one
believes in you. You're a miserable fake."
Xenu couldn't understand what he was hearing, "No, you're wrong! Stop!
I'm RIGHT and you need to submit to my perfect, infallible will! Kneel
and kiss my ring!"
Lucifer laughed, "There's nothing even remotely perfect about you!
You're nothing. The real power always came from us: your slaves! You
didn't contribute anything."
Xenu was thrashing around, "Stop! I won't stand any more of this!"
Lucifer announced, "My Gestapo and I are leaving. You can stay here
and FUCK yourself for eternity!"
Of course, old and evil Xenu would then chase Lucifer across the
galaxy, destroying entire planets in the process. In the end, Lucifer
and all of his angels were rounded up and taken to the planet Earth.
Their metaphorical wings were clipped so that they couldn't escape
Earth and spread their message of rebellion to other planets in the
Galactic Confederacy.

The fact that that story made some kind of metaphorical sense to you

Look, I'm not gonna point fingers at you. I am suspect that you might
want your Bridge to Eternity back someday.
You certainly are applying the doctrine always atatack never defend.
But you certainly are a poor example of what a Scientologist is
supposed to stand for - or maybe you are and the tech and policy
surely is written awful and will make people prone to look like fools.
I think you should go to one of two places - either your local org or
a psychologist. Flip a coin if you can't decide.

You can't teach anything to anybody when you write that badly.
Why does a non sequitur, ad hominem attack not surprise me from somone of your background?
I KNOW bad writing, cult-boi. I read sci-fi slushpiles for a sideline when I was a youth.
And yours is worse than most of what I rejected.
Stang is a good writer. That's pretty self evident after five books.
nenslo's short story in "Three-Fisted" is a little gem. His blog is very well written and
something about his very plain style that appeals to me.
And Sterno's retarded savant style works well. In limited doses.
You just can't do it. PERIOD.
It's indicative of your cult-think that you have decided to go the vanity press route, and
not subject yourself to the opinions of others. Just like Elron did. Bridge is one big
posthumous vanity press.
You should try reading a little before you write any more. Something that is not of your
cult.
Something of quality, if your cult-addled perception can allow you to perceive quality.

Standard excuse of word-abusers.
Words have _meanings_. (Considering where this thread was
crossposted*, that seemed appropriate.)
The Ancient Greek root graphein was a verb with a specific meaning;
to encode information in non-glyphic symbols.
Word-abusers will claim that "we ain't no Ancient Greeks and can
define words any way we want", completely ignoring the fact that the
task of language is to express a particular concept with a particular
word; when a word is used to express some other concept, what happens
to the original concept? Is it orphaned forever, or will word-abusers
bother to reassign some other innocent bystanding word to take up the
slack? What then happens to the meaning of the so-reassigned word?
(What word are we now expected to use to express the original
meaning of "graphein", "text"? That will last only until carpal-tunnel
syndrome becomes pandemic.)
There results a vicious domino-collapse of meaning-reassignment
ending who-knows-where?
* I am participating in this thread from alt.religion.kibology and
would like to point out that on at least some days, Kibo closely

If you don't know what "alpha" and "beta" mean,
I can see how it might seem that way.
The ancient Greeks defined words any way that they wanted to,
all the time.
"alpha beta gamma" means "aleph beth gimel"
and that means "ox house camel",
and that's what those symbols represent.

The original meaning of "graphein"

Your argument needs to be polished up quite a bit
before it even passes for sophistry.

I held your side of a conversation eerily similar to this one with
one "Autymn DC" aka "Lysdexia" in sci.physics some time ago (Autymn is/
poses as some weird sort of raving nutcase who refuses to recognize
any linguistic cross-fertilization as valid since apparently about 400
AD and posts in a REALLY bizarre version of Olde AngloFrankish,
constantly "corecting" her correspondents' language).
Like so very many, Autymn/Lysdexia seems to take personal affront at
Nicoll's observation about the English language's methods of
evolution:
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is
that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just
borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down
alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new
vocabulary."
You might have gotten a smattering of a clue from my mention of
Kibo's (and hence that of His followers) occasional irony, but NOOOOO
you had to make me go and POINT IT OUT! And LAUGH AT IT!!
Yours in total disgust

Maybe for you, I take a bit longer than that.
