NEW TECHNIQUES

The fastest and best way of blowing BTs and clusters is by inspection.

Acknowledgement is very effective. A lot can be blown with pure acknowledgement.

Another way of blowing them is simply to sort of jolt them a bit earlier in time, and then they run on forward and blow. You use a sort of impulse to move them a bit earlier in time. It blows them off a stuck point on the track.

ok.

[wearelegion55]

I've done more than you'd think.

Not that I'm going to post it here.

Often it is, unsurprisingly, a group effort.

My purposes are honest and good and I believe what I'm doing is best for the world. I do not think dangerous cults like COS should be allowed to operate under the name of a church or religion.

Also Sci isn't as big (or growing as fast) as it claims to be.

[wearelegion55]

It's Scientologists who don't get it, because of their experience and their information you are highly likely to not believe us. Things are happening all over that we have made happen or made possible, it is working. Religion is free, scientology is neither. Enjoy your class.

[wearelegion55]

...group, but COS is not a religion. some of the teachings may be somewhat like a religion, but we are protesting the 'Church' of Sci, the money making pyramid scheme organisation itself. And if anon is dead, why are you posting here, trying to discredit these videos. Why are there protests worldwide? Why do the public thank us as they pass and honk horns in support? Why do the public constantly come up to us and tell us yet another story of the cult's deception and bad effect in their life?

[wearelegion55]

Ah you try and convince me of that. Show me the evidence COS has for all its claims. We have already seen the PR experts lie and then backtrack at a later date when undeniable evidence is shown. OSA and the lawyers are all that have allowed sci to operate as it has for so long. And understand that your experience of COS is only yours, and the situation you were in is not necessarily the same for everyone. We are not claiming they disconnect everyone.

You say that anon is a religious hate ...

[wearelegion55]

...just people acting under the anonymous name, which is attributed to any poster on certain internet forums. We have proven many claims. We disagree with some of hubbard's words, e.g. those that split up families, those that require the RPF, etc. but actual beliefs, we feel people are free to believe. We only object to the operation of the organization.

And what religion I am is irrelevant, this is not about religion.

[wearelegion55]

It isn't about their control, but they know the sort of pressure the COS puts on people to take courses.

It is NOT rumour alone, the facts are there for everyone to see, it's all out there. The anonymous who protest the church are not the same people who attacked the epileptic foundation, those people were merely using the power of being anonymous for bad rather than good. The concept of anonymous internet posting is not new. You will be told of many things 'anon' has done, when really it is...

[wearelegion55]

...but we do not hate, we are helping, exposing the truth, rescuing people (people HAVE learned the truth and left because of us) and stopping people being caught in the trap of COS's sneaky recruitment tactics

[wearelegion55]

They are not owning her nor are they controlling her. But when Hubbard's tech teaches her to switch off her communication with them imagine how that feels for her LOVING family which thankfully Becky pledged to never disconnect from. And it does take courage, he has had to endure fair game. And if you'd only listen to other sources than COS, you'd learn the atrocities of COS around the world which they will never let you hear. I'd understand why you wouldnt believe us, being in COS so long...
