      "And with that latest payment of two million caps, you’re officially the highest rated Scientologist, you’re now Level 15, which is an even higher rank than I am!

      You’re positively, and completely clear!"

      “Okay and now what?”

      “Well, I thought you would know, most clear one”

      (I console cheated the money in, but realistically, you ought to figure out it’s a scam by the 100 caps mark)

      (Quick loading and blasting them all is completely valid IMO)

      Except level 6, where you gain the ability to eat a ghost. But the rest is bullshit.

    I feel really bad for Tom Cruise. From what I heard, he is genuinely a nice person and he loves his craft, but I can tell deep down that he’s lonely and insecure. Lonely people tend to be easy preys for cults.

      He’s also Gay and trying to hide it. Scientology hunts for those people, and exploits their fear of discovery. Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Will Smith, etc.

          Every one of those guys started in the 70s and 80s, when that sort of thing would have a major impact on your acting career.

          This isn’t some new idea, there has been talk about these guys being blackmailed by Scientology for many years.

    Afaik OTVIII is still the highest, no 9 yet (though there “are” 15, only 7 were released before ol’ Lafayette Hubbard died.)

    Of course, it only comes with the power of being further scammed by the “church.”

    I prefer to be scammed by a better church, one that admits to scamming! At least “Bob” is honest! Plus they condone my degeneracy and preach radical insanity, win win. To find out more about The Church of the SubGenius write to “Bob” at P.O. Box 807 Glen Rose, TX 76043. Send $3 and ask for the pamphlet. You’ll pay to know what you really think!

      I know you admitted it to be a scam but is it a pyramid scheme? Because a pyramid is only a scam when you are at the bottom

          You’re using the language of losers. It’s only a scam if I lose. Otherwise it’s a great business model

        Well kinda sorta but not really. Our great guru “Bob” is dead (some say otherwise, but,) his successor Rev. Ivan Stang is the current Sacred Scribe (#273). He is getting older, but when he boards the Saucers early (unless X-Day comes firs, finally) he is handing The Church to Rev. Onan Canobite who has been with the church since like 1984 (he also runs our mastodon instance, dobbs.town).

      They don’t! You just find out about Xenu and the shit we already know.

      The UFO cult with an exit plan is actually The Church of the SubGenius, on X-Day (July 5th, 1998 which hasn’t happened yet clearly, we only think it has because The Conspiracy has fudged the calendars in a futile attempt to thwart us), the X-ists (the good aliens) will come Rupture the faithful dues paying SubGenii unto the PleasureSaucers while they harvest the rest of the planet for parts. Eternal Salvation or TRIPLE your money back! Write to “Bob” at P.O Box 807 Glen Rose, TX 76043, send $3 and ask for the pamphlet to learn more!
