The folks at the Yborg (Church of Scientology cult recruiting station
in Ybor City, Florida, which is near Tampa) are so desperate to
recruit raw meat that they're making outlandish promises. Check out
this poster currently on display in their window:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Scientology/Miscellaneous/ybor-clear-poster.jpg

Here's a transcription:

================================================================

"WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE?"

A Scientology "Clear" has:

* Over 135 IQ
* Creative imagination
* Amazing vitality
* Deep relaxation
* Good memory
* Strong willpower
* Radiant health

If you would like to have all these qualities then

Egad.
I see stuff like this, outlandish promises, and I can't help thinking:
What happens when there's a class action suit composed of Scientologists
with:
A 110 IQ
No imagination
Shallow hyperexcitement over everything
Memory full of LRH
Nonexistant willpower
Niacin toxicity and asbestosis
Sticks to metallic objects
Weak pandetermination

I mean, c'mon! You can't PROMISE these attributes! It's fraud. Somebody
call the mayor! Oh, wait. Pam Iorio is a huge fan. Never mind. I guess
the people of Ybor are gonna have to depend on themselves to get
edumacated. Smarten up or get sucked in, folks!

[that's the case of less than 3 % of the clams]

[can create past lives having no existence]

> * Deep relaxation

[death relaxation happens too, by suicide or assassination, see Lisa
McPherson etc.]

[lie: that memory specializes into unexisting "incidents" and crap works
from the founder hubbard. ]

[brainwashed will]

that should'nt be: after the prurification crapdown program, the
"accumulated" radiations should have left the body because of the
miraculous niacin/nicotinic acid [a provitamin]!!

> * Magnetic personality

Use of magnets is forbidden while on e-meter sessions.

> * Good self-control

(Please: the purpose of t'he cult is not self-control; it's others'
control.)

$cientology adheres to the British language with "Enquire Within". This
is a grievous outpoint when publicizing in the US. Hubbard used the
British lexicon in much of his ramblings and the kult cannot get

into every language on earth.

These people are simply not thinking.

Someone living in Florida may want to bring this to the attention
of the Attorney General's office. Seems Florida is one of those
states that's created it's own "mini-Lanham Act", with some
pretty stiff provisions about false advertising. In particular
concerning the type of claims made in this flyer.

Such are the pitfalls of incessant and perfect duplication. Translation:

How typical of LaserClam. Dave gave her the perfect opportunity to promote
Scientology with a post like:

'Do you know anyone else who failed to download their own copy of "The Way
to Happiness" from

http://twth.org/about/resources-and-downloads/e-books/pdf/englishWeb.pdf '

but instead, a deafening silence. Though not an authority on the Tone
Scale, I'd put LaserClam at around 0.05 - 0.03. (Apathy - Useless)

That's a good idea. Hm, who do we know living in Florida...?
Any further info about this law would be appreciated.

This weekend is the annual Gasparilla pirate festival/parade, and there
will be a lot of traffic around the Yborg. Fortunately, most of the
traffic will consist of drunken adults pretending to be pirates and
wenches, in the mood to make anyone who asks them about taking a free
personality test walk the plank.

According to Hubbard, 'IQ' increases by one point per 1 hour of
auditing. Therefore 10 years in Scientology = 'IQ' in the
'thousands'. Unless, of course, if you're 'on staff' or in the
'Sea Org', who almost never *get* any auditing, although, they
get charged for it in their eventual 'freeloader Debt'.

> > * Creative imagination

Claims to facts not in evidence. In fact, every indication is
that Scientology is the *death* of 'creativity'.

> > * Amazing vitality

http://www.whyaretheydead.net/

> > * Deep relaxation

Unless you've been called in for a 'Sec Check', are being
'regged' or have been 'Knowledge Reported', or, are on 'Staff'
or in the Sea Org, and it's Wednesday.

> > * Good memory

So good, in fact, that you can remember things that never
happened.

> > * Strong willpower

And the delusional capability to believe that you are
'effective'.

> > * Radiant health

'Glow in the Dark' level health! Your mileage may vary.

> > * Magnetic personality

Tin cans stick to your ears.

> > * Good self-control

If you *wanted* to look like a shrieking, raving loon.

And, you did; it's called 'command intention', 'Tone 40',
'impinging'. Supposedly works well on ashtrays.
