I guess you're referring to the Vatican library?

It goes beyond the book.

Ask a $cientologist how much his "eternity" cost and he should say,
"with my IAS discount, if I just go for the eternity route not get
trained, if I purchase the whole package now, because it goes up every
month, figuring in a couple of review intensives, give or take a
commission or two, and provided they don't come up with even more
rundowns before I get to eternity, right around $360,000."

Ask a Christian how much his eternity cost and he'd say, "Zip. Someone
else paid for me."

You haven't read the fine-print, Russ.

The package deal the Christian bought is a non-stop flight to
eternity, leaving just as soon as he's dropped the body. He doesn't
have to stay over a Saturday for a lower rate, rack up frequent-flyer
miles for a better seat or take a connecting return flight through the
Martian Implant Station. He's got a one-way ticket.

Sounds to me like he found a better travel agent than you.

Say, Russell....I have a question for you:

When has religion been about who has the better quips? Is that going to get
you into Heaven -- who can sound off better than the next person?

OK, Russ, prove there is another lifetime. Hard evidence now.
Here's a way to test. Hubbard claims we all have Fac One engrams.
See HOM, still required reading for OT8s. Now if we had seperate
Scientologists, and we teach them the basics of doing locationals,
all should locate Fac One as their first major implant as Hubbard claimed,
right?

Let the cult do this. Try it! They won't. And it's obvious why.

I will tell you what Russ, if you can prove to me that you can remember
~this~ whole lifetime I will consider that you might be able to remember
the past and/or the next one. You aren't any different than any other group
that has claimed an esoteric monopoly on our souls. Until you can be a
perfect person in the next life you must be able to be a perfect person in
this one. Your ability to not be able to prove your magnificent memory
gives evidence of your perfect imperfections. Your ability to ~not~
confront Hubbard's past gives evidence toward your perfect nonconfrontation
of facts. Your are perfectly imperfect Russ. I guess that makes you mortal
like the rest of us. Join the crowd......

This is really sad.

As pompous and arrogant as Russ often is, it's impossible not to feel
for someone so tragically deluded.

Just recently my ageing mother was reged for a 'final' intensive (many
10s of thousands of dollars) for 'next lifetime' preparation, and I
was pressed to pay for it since she can't.

That *really* pissed me off. I detest those bastards all the more
now.

Wow Russ, you are ~almost~ being honest about what the Co$ teaches.
Cool, "Christian Quip". That's almost as good as "Gothic Garbage"
I've heard it called by an OTV. Wow, your time at Co$land is
really bringing you out of your shell.

Come on, don't be afraid, spit it out. You are saying that Co$ provides
a better present life and "next" life than Christianity. It's okay,
just say it.

In Co$, it's taught that Christianity, or ~any~ other religion falls
short of the spiritual freedom for one's eternity that LRH provided,
~Source~ knows all. All hail LRH, the almighty and all knowing!!

Don't suck up to other religions and pussy foot around, come out and
say it, "YOUR belief falls short of LRH's teachings". Come on, you
have the benefit of the "False Purpose Rundown", you can do it, maybe,
just maybe.

There is no claim of being "perfect" (whatever THAT is!) but of having lived
before - and again.

I had already "joined". Living before and knowing I will again isn't even a
new idea or concept. Just because you can't remember - doesn't mean you
aren't coming back too.

Russell:

This deserves a substantive response, which this isn't, including some
word clearing, but let me ask you first off, if you and the Christian
come back for a next lifetime, then you hardly achieved eternity,
wouldn't you say, but if you both did achieve eternity and did come
back for a next lifetime, then surely the Christian would be in the
better shape in the amount of $360,000, don't you think?

Nah, I don't believe that any more than you do.

I believe that when we die - you, me, the Christian - we're DEAD, and
that's all there is. It's not very comforting, which is why it's not
a very popular belief system.

But like the Christian's belief, it has the advantage of being free.
What's "total freedom" going for by the hour at AOLA these days, Russ?

Now, what does that do to the claim that "scientology is compatable with
all religions"?
Russ is just sore because he got poked in a sensitive place - that fact
that he's been taken for a lot of money - even more just recently. His
recent fleecing must be fresh in his non-reactive mind, and his freshly
sheared flesh raw and irritable.

OK. Heaven is a delusion, implanted into us. I figure that is the belief
based on LRH's scripture about his visits to heaven. Have I got that right
so far? If not, please explain how LRH would view Heaven - if he weren't
so very dead.

What is your goal? Not Heaven, I can certainly understand that. What is
it? Total freedom from the shackles of Matter, Energy, Space and Time? To
be godlike, powerful as you once were, able to master Matter, Energy,
Space and Time the way you used to? To get back to your home planet? To
know true SANITY by getting your brain back from the influincing of the
ALIEN MIND IMPLANTS, from the trauma of Incidents I and II, to reach a
true serenity of beingness?

What is your goal? TIA.

Well, after they have lived this one life and died, it is hard to
say which will be in better shape. As Shakespeare observed, tanners
tend to resist decomposition longer because they have tanned their
own skin tough with chemicals. But all feed the worms, and end up
kinda worm shaped.

Wow! I'm glad to hear that cuz I am coming back here to repair the
damage that you did. BTW if you are driving one of LRH's locomotives
on your way there, please drive carefully because I'll be walking.

well I for one cannot resist this.

OK Russell tell you what - why not give us the names and locations of your
last three lifetimes? This should be fairly easy stuff for a committed person
like you. So why not give us - name, location, lifespan date of births and date
of deaths? Oh yeah and full name.

should be a piece of cake eh?

Just so all the new folks know where ol' Russ is coming from... and where
he imagines we're going.

HEAVEN

Well, I have been to Heaven.

And I've found that Scientologists have been to Heaven.

And that everybody has evidently been to Heaven.

The Goals Problem Mass implants, which are the apparent basic
source of aberration and human travail, which begin with the goal To
Forget, were cynically done "in Heaven".

For a long time, people have been cross with me for my
lack of co-operation in believing in a Christian Heaven, God and Christ.
I have never said I didn't disbelieve in a Big Thetan but there was
certainly something very corny about Heaven et al. Now I have to
apologize. There was a Heaven. Not too unlike, in cruel betrayal, the
heaven of the Assassins in the 12th Century who, like everyone else,
dramatized the whole track implants - if a bit more so.

Yes, I've been to Heaven. And so have you. And you
have the pattern of its implants in the HCO Bulletin Line Plots. It was
complete with gates, angels and plaster saints - and electronic
implantation equipment. So there was a Heaven after all - which is why
you are on this planet and were condemned never to be free again
- until Scientology.

Before you went to Heaven you were not really very bad
or very good, but you didn't think you had lived only once and you had a
good memory and knew who you were and enjoyed life. Afterwards ---

The symbol of the crucified Christ is very apt indeed.
It's the symbol of a thetan betrayed.

Sorry to hear that, Russ.

Yeah, I bet you're a real hero among your circle.

This is something I had begun to suspect over the past few days -
only to have this verified from unwanted e-mail from Esther, herself.

Well, as I told another poster - good luck trying to get
AOL to do *anything* about it - we have AOL
idiots that we absolutely cannot get rid of.

Oh, then, let me make myself clear: if she says this,

I certainly didn't mean to even *imply* that - I was pretty sure
there was just mass confusion and an innocent person was
being vilified because of it. This, of course, was not the case.
