How To Win Friends and Influence People - Do the Opposite of what Hubbard Taught.

Dear Discerning Reader,


Dale Carnegie wrote an insightful and interesting book many years
ago and it has become a standard.

http://www.westegg.com/unmaintained/carnegie/win-friends.html

This is perhaps the one and only book L. Ron Hubbard, of Scientology
infamy, did NOT plagiarize. This is evident just looking at the
topics covered . . .

Part One

Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

1) Don't criticize, condemn or complain.

2) Give honest and sincere appreciation.

3) Arouse in the other person an eager want.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part Two

Six ways to make people like you

1) Become genuinely interested in other people.

2) Smile.

3) Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest
    and most important sound in any language.

4) Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

5) Talk in terms of the other person's interests.

6) Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part Three

Win people to your way of thinking

1) The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

2) Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say,
    "You're wrong."

3) If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

4) Begin in a friendly way.

5) Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately.

6) Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.

7) Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.

8) Try honestly to see things from the other person's point
    of view.

9) Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

10) Appeal to the nobler motives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part Four

Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Giving Offense or
Arousing Resentment. A leader's job often includes changing
your people's attitudes and behavior. Some suggestions to
accomplish this:

1) Begin with praise and honest appreciation.

2) Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.

3) Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other
    person.

4) Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.

5) Let the other person save face.

6) Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement.
    Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise."

7) Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.

8) Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.

9) Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

Take a famous Scientologist like Barbarella Schwartz. Then read
her Blog.

http://barbaraschwarz.wordpress.com/


Now, with any one of the Blog entries firmly in mind do a
rundown of the items listed above and see how Barbarella's
Scientology brainwashing has her doing mostly just the
opposite of the items listed above. Then the next time
ANY Scientologist speaks or writes ask yourself if they
don't ALL sound just like Barbarella. They all sound so
low on the tonescale... like they're scraping the bottom
of the barrel.

Let's more closely examine Part Three and see how
Scientology does just the opposite of the right thing
to do:

Win people to your way of thinking

1) The only way to get the best of an argument is to
    avoid it.
  
   ***Barbarella's entire Blog exists to start rancorous
   arguments.



2) Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never
    say, "You're wrong."

    ***With the exception of her imaginary husband, Barbarella
    does nothing but belittle others by saying they are wrong and
    dumb and criminal, etc.


3) If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

    ***Barbarella never ONCE admits she's wrong and she's
    wrong the majority of the time.


4) Begin in a friendly way.

    ***If you discount her constant slobbering over some
    imaginary husband, each and every Blog entry is a mean,
    unfriendly tirade about some perceived enemy or slight.


5) Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately.

    ***Barbarella most often gets her miniscule audience of
    readers saying "No, no, no! Nobody can be that delusional."


6) Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.

   ***Barbarella has banned everybody from even commenting
    on her Blog. She's only interested in listening to herself
    rant and rave.


7) Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.

    ***Barbarella never gives anybody else credit for anything.
     On the contrary, she tries to take credit for everything
     herself. Her ideas are mostly the rantings of a brainwashed
     Sea Org cadet high on diesel fumes.


8) Try honestly to see things from the other person's point
    of view.

    ***Barbarella is totally incapable of seeing anything from
    somebody else's point of view. The only side Barbarella is
    ever on is her own side. She even regularly attacks those
    of us who try to be on her side to lend a helping hand.


9) Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

    ***Barbarella always belittles and defames other peoples'
    ideas and desires. She even acts like it's a crime for eligible
    men to be interested in courting her and securing her as
    a helpmate.


10) Appeal to the nobler motives.

    ***The only thing Barbarella appeals to is her sense of
    superiority. She has some nerve calling herself a goddess
    and that waste of space, imaginary husband of hers,
    Marty Rathbun, a god. Barbara's motives are not noble
    at all, but self-serving, elitist and selfish.



                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Now, don't get me wrong, this is not a personal attack against
Ms. Schwartz whose myriad faults I think I can correct with
a little firm discipline, patient understanding and loving
kindness. Rather, I am just using a familiar Scientologist as an
example of how Scientology completely and utterly fails to win
friends and influence people.

Barbarella Schwartz is a Satanic Cult Operation

In her "ILoveMyImaginaryMarty" Blogspot:

http://barbaraschwarz.wordpress.com/

on June 27, 2010 Barbarella typed: (my comments are blue)

"I cleaned parts of my house today because yesterday evening,  I was invited to a party. I wasn’t much in the mood for any party but the person who invited me helped my on a couple of occasions in the past and it seemed kind of ungrateful to say that I wouldn’t be coming. He was always helpful and kind to me. But at the party house, it wasn’t my world, not my kind
of cleanliness and sense of order, and a couple of the party guests were smoking, so the first thing that I did when I got home was throwing my clothes in the washer and then jumped in the bathtub and got the smoke smell out of my hair."

     HYPOCRITE! Barbarella smoked cigarettes herself up until 1984 and now she looks down her nose at others who smoke? This is arrogance galore and hypocrisy pure.

"Although nobody was drinking, not even beer, which is a good thing. There was a party guest sitting at the bar, mainly eating or just starring at me or on his plate. He was really odd. All others were chatty and introduced themselves to me and were open and told stories and laughed but not this guy. So, I ignored him."

     A real woman of confidence would have taken the initiative and introduced herself to the man. Perhaps he was just shy? I wonder what makes Barbarella so insecure and haughty? Does she think everybody should present themselves  prostrate at her robust feet as if she were the Queen of the world?


"After 2 – 3 hours, I said goodbye to the hosts and the other
guests and the weird guy at the bar came running after me.
“Did you find Jesus yet?” he asked me and tried to recruit me
in his Christian church."

     Christians are supposed to spread the Gospel. It's part and parcel of what a real Christian is and does. Is Barbarella so insecure in her false, cultish religion that she has to close her mind to any other possibilities?


"I told him that I have my religion already. He wanted to know
details about my religion but I ignored his question. He gave
me a leaflet about his Christian church but I left him standing
there and just made clear to him that I am not interested."

     Barbarella was ashamed to admit to the man that she belongs to a cultish, false religion - one that causes her to be rude, judgmental, arrogant, self-serving, condescending and has her soul condemned to the Hellfires.

"It is just unbelievable that the weirdest,  uncharismatic, non-communicative, boring, and  robotic people on Earth think that they have a chance recruiting me into Christianity.  I threw the leaflet in the next dumpster that I saw. The geek knew nothing to say than his contradictory Christian crap.  Christians have nothing to offer me. A religion that denies past lives does not contain the most important basics of truth. And most Christians are horrible hypocrites anyway."



     If the weirdest, uncharismatic, non-communicative, boring and robotic people on Earth were recruiting, one would see legions of Scientologists walking the neighborhoods with their propaganda pamphlets. And, if people wouldn't accept a pamphlet the Scientology drones would slap them, punch them, get right in their faces and scream at them, "What are YOUR crimes?!!!" This is how they act in the Sea Org!

     Barbarella is a prime example of the Scientology tenet which states, "Accuse others of being or doing that which you, yourself are or do." She calls a Christian man a hypocrite when he's doing what he's supposed to do - spread the Gospel. It never sinks through her thick skull that she's the real hypocrite because she believes she's a good, fair and decent person while Scientology has brainwashed her into being just the opposite - an opposite that real Scientologists never show in public, by the way, because transparency represents a public embarrassment to Scientology.

     Any true Scientologist has learned how to be totally two-faced in public. Barbarella has failed to learn this and thus she was kicked out of Scientology because of her inability to get with the program. Barbarella's actually proud to portray herself in public as a sleazy, arrogant, elitist cultist! Her public portrayal of Scientology is a 'Third Reich Scientology', spit-shined jackboots and all . . .

     The late L. Ron Hubbard managed and David Miscavige manages to hide their true natures and Scientology's true agenda when they put on their "public faces".

     Thank you all for your patience and understanding and may God Bless You.

Why L. Ron Hubbard Should Be Despised

When assessing L. Ron Hubbard catch-phrases, one need not resort to vicious name-calling or mephitic epithets. One need only present the facts. Before I launch into the meat of this post, I want to make a few matters crystal-clear: (1) It rags my crotch that L. Ron Hubbard wanted to crucify us on the cross of phony Science, and (2) as a result of that, he indeed needed to come up with terms that cloud the issue.

Now that you know where I stand and the basic thrust of this erudite post, I can safely say that when you tell L. Ron Hubbard's allies that he and management (the Sea Org) were in cahoots to convert houses of worship into houses of Satan, they begin to get fidgety, their eyes start to bug out, their pimply faces redden, spittle drools from the corners of their mouths, they develop tics of various sorts, and then they start yelling . . .

"What are YOUR CRIMES?"

They really don't care how transparent their methods are, after all, they paid big money for them and are brainwashed into thinking the methods are something special that no "wog" can possibly glean when, in actuality, these methods turned them into just so many, pre-programmed drones humming around the bloated and fetid queen bee, L. Ron Hubbard. They have no interest in hearing that LRH made a living out of the fact that "there's a sucker born every minute."

I call this tactic (substituting dogma for reality) of his, "bait and switch".  Bait with religion but switch to a phony psychology the likes of which would have Sigmund Freud spinning in his grave. On the one hand, deny everything psychiatric but, on the other hand, use psychiatry to gain his ends but call it something else. L. Ron Hubbard and his spokesmen have unequivocally raised bait and switch to a fine art by using it to engage in the trafficking of human minds and souls. These human beings are captured by the bait, brainwashed until they become willing drones and then their energy is switched so it works solely for enriching the C of $ coffers while they toil like slaves, 18 hours a day, earning a pittance while being abused and debased.

L. Ron Hubbard claimed he acted in the name of equality and social justice. Of course, claiming so certainly doesn't make it so! LRH wanted to 'clear' the world. Instead, if anything, he managed to "queer" the world with a couple tens of thousands of drones running around acting so very queer (in the conventional sense of the word having nothing to do  with sexual orientation). I'd advise against judging his  associates too harshly. They're just cannon fodder for LRH's plot to advocate fatalistic acceptance of a perverted and Satanic new world order.

L. Ron Hubbard claimed that diseases could be defeated not through standard medical research but through the creation of a new language, one that does not stigmatize certain groups and behaviors. Hubbard created lots of new words with conjured meanings that suited his brainwashing techniques. Many claim he just had the best interests of humanity in mind. Bah! To be sure, that story is full of more holes than a cheap whore with a piercing fetish, a heroin habit and rife with flesh-eating bacteria.

Although some more politically correct than I am reluctantly concede that by using Orwellian language and selective quotation, LRH was able to palliate and side-step the  atrocities of his disguised and delusional grunts, they invariably deny that honor meant nothing to him. I disagree! It's plain L. Ron Hubbard clearly honored money.

Scientology is all about extorting as much money as possible as fast as possible. Money was his primary motive force. He once said, "The fastest way to wealth is starting a religion." Principles meant nothing to him. All he cared about is how best to construct the specter of a world beset with billions of disembodied 'thetans' who take over all living things and perpetrate selfish and evil acts. All people must have these evil mind-controllers under control and Scientology is the only way that can be done - but the price must be large because the consequences of doing nothing are larger. Yah, right! (And this moron has followers to this day? Good grief!)

L. Ron Hubbard relied heavily on "useful idiots", that is, people who unwittingly did LRH's dirty work for him. Without his swarms of useful, Sea Org idiots  L. Ron Hubbard would not have been able to conceal the fact that his religion was and is a sham. Yes, I said it! - not only a sham but a TOTAL sham. No one has located the document in which L. Ron Hubbard said this. No one has identified when or where L. Ron Hubbard said this. But, make no mistake, this makes no difference at all. It's fact, nonetheless. Because a sociopath never admits he ever said or did something most likely means he did, indeed, do or say it. For a sociopath, lies = truth.

Why not admit to the true nature of Scientology? Because LRH was a giant egotist and warped psychologically but he wasn't totally stupid. As you might have suspected, whenever L. Ron Hubbard was presented with the true statement that his tech is filled with fabrications, half-truths, innuendo, and guilt by association, he spewed out the hackneyed excuse that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. (The same old sociopathic reasoning that lies = truth.)

Moreover LRH worked diligently at interchanging superstition with science. Ironically, such screwball logic is likely to convince even more people that LRH's activities were a mere cavil, a weatherworn scarecrow, one of the last shifts of a desperate and dying, delusional and diseased, deranged and defeated, old man bereft of any real social value or personal ethics.

Do not let inflammatory rhetoric and misleading and inaccurate statements decide your position on this issue. LRH's outrage at complaints about him was indicative of his egotistical self-esteem and value system. I will now cite the proof of this statement. The proof begins with the observation that L. Ron Hubbard acted as if he were God of the World.

This hauteur is astonishing, staggering, mind-boggling and so loosely based upon reality as to be laughable. Even more laughable is the number of morons who bought it, lock stock and barrel.

I don't want this to sound like sour grapes but I, for one, cannot believe how many actual, physical, breathing, thinking people have fallen for Hubbard's subterfuge. I'm completely stunned! With friends like LRH and his goon squad, who needs enemies?

His adulators avow that ethical responsibility is merely a  trammel of earthbound mortals and should not be required of a God like him nor his staff. I say to them, "Prove it!" Of course they will ever remain unable to do so. Why did so many people tolerate LRH's snow jobs as long as they were presented in small, seemingly harmless doses? You know, one small 'tech' step at a time? A little here and a little there that costs thousands and thousands of dollars ($$ - there's the real LRH "church")? The answer is that the tolerance for lies is brainwashed into Scientologist's skulls full of mush from the very first "lesson".

It just so happens I've read a prospectus some of LRH's effete dupes forced into a friend's hands as she walked past an org. The prospectus described LRH's blueprint for a world in which the worst kinds of psychotic saboteurs there are, are free to drag everything that is truly great into the gutter with them. As I dropped the prospectus into an overflowing wastebasket where it belongs, I reflected upon the way, that from the perspective of those inside LRH's crime syndicate, L. Ron Hubbard has the mandate of Heaven to bowdlerize all unfavorable descriptions of his inveracities. His followers are just so many mindless devil-worshippers!

The reality, however, is that only through education can individuals gain the independent tools they need to ward off the blows of adverse circumstance. What L. Ron Hubbard  perpetrated is the antithesis of education. It's pure brainwashing. But the first step is to acknowledge that his personal attacks (fair-gaming - the primary C of $ brass knuckles) are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied even by LRH himself.

Speaking of absurdities, LRH's destructive narcissism is no religious belief. It's actually political. It is a fierce and burning gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction and the unleashing of a devious and disguised system of control by an arrogant dictator.

Scientology is, in every sense, a disloyal and pagan religion that incites its worshippers to a goose-stepping march in avid denial of freedom, independent thought and independent  action and then prompts worshippers to sanctify Hubbard's depravity.

Finally, this has been a good deal of reading, and surely a challenging read at that. Still, I hope you walk away from it with the new knowledge that L. Ron Hubbard hated, with a pure and perfect hatred, all those who challenged him and his Scientology's future where human beings are nothing more than drones to be used, abused and then tossed lightly aside.

Is the Dropout Rate Exceeding the Join Rate?

Why would anybody do such a foolish thing, join the Church of Scientology in this day and age? It makes no sense - no sense at all.

Back in the good old days when L. Ron Hubbard held sway there was a reason to join - a charismatic leader who had at least a little something to offer. Some 'tech' that had yet to be corrupted and perverted. Some esprit de corps. A vision. Goals that involved improving the human condition.

But, that's all gone now. Miscavige turned it all into a festering pile of crap. Little man with a Hitler complex grabbing everything in sight for himself and himself alone. Lord knows how many millions of dollars the man has squirreled away in some secret vault. How many lives has he ruined? Fortunes stolen? Characters assassinated?

Who in their right mind would want to be associated with such a monster. Such a criminal mastermind? Such a destructive force? Such a soldier of Satan?

I suppose the answer to that is nobody in their right minds. So what does that tell you about the few jokers who DO still join? Not in their right minds? Count on it!

It's gratifying to see so many folks waking up and fleeing. Here is one such person who should be an inspiration to everybody.

Her name is Lise O'Kane. Her story can be found  here:

http://www.scientology-cult.com/lise-okane-resigns-from-cos.html

Take some time to read her letter of resignation. The woman has courage and conviction. Assigning treason to DM.

Atta Girl!

Tell Me, Could Barbarella Do Better Than Yours Truly?

Barbarella said she would do anything if she and the Imaginary Marty could get back together. But, she is being totally unrealistic - hoping, wishing and waiting for something that will never happen.

What a handsome couple we would make. Just feast your eyes on the composite photo! We even look alike. Of course, I look a little younger but that's OK. "Mature" women are just the best.

That's the kind of couple that's needed to wrestle the Church of Scientology away from the present mismanagment. Barbarella could see to it that Scientology Tech is pure Hubbard. I could see to it that Christianity is included. It would be a win-win situation.

Instead of pining away for some imaginary man, she should get real and embrace a loving real man such as yours truly and become his willing helpmate. She just doesn't know what she's missing. She has no idea.

I can fix bicycle flat tires with the best of them. I can do it with my eyes closed or in my sleep, it's so easy. I am a mechanical genius who would not forget to put the brakes back in the right position. I would know how precious the rider and that she should not get in an accident.  I don't want a single scratch to mar her natural beauty.

I hate to say it but Barbarella's idea of getting solid rubber tires is dumb. Solid rubber tires are heavy, they have high rolling resistance so they are slow. And, why does Barbarella accept gifts of tools from Baby Bro and she insults me by refusing my offer of a gift of a Kindle! 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Out with the old, in with the new.  The Imaginary Marty Rathbun has got to GO!  He's ruining everything.  He's a jailbird, for Pete's sake. A common criminal. Why is it  some women fall in love with convicts? But, an imaginary convict??? Can't even write letters to such a person.

Anonymous Seems to be Getting Smarter

I do believe Anonymous might be growing up. It seems like they've decided to be a little less in-your-face and a little more into the business of spreading information - information that can be found everywhere that casts Scientology in a bad light.

I've never been for in-your-face intimidation and street demonstrators wearing masks because I think such tactics do more harm than good. In today's world with the Internet and sites like YouTube where videos of former Scientologists talking out calmly and sanely against the horrible abuses of Scientology can be used, street demonstrations are probably counterproductive and, more often than not, paint the demonstrators as the bad guys.

Members of any religion - even crank religions like Scientology should be free from harrassment in public and members should not be the specific target of organized protests. Protests should target Scientology management whenever possible. In the United States, at least, freedom of religion means freedom of religion for every religion.

I would like to see some activism group working through the courts and legislature to try to remove Scientology's tax exempt status. This would say very loudly and clearly that Scientology is no religion. This would subject them to being regulated and taxed as the business they are. But, as long as Scientology is considered a church by the powers that be then we need to respect their right to freedom of religion.

But, that doesn't mean all their misconduct should be allowed to continue or be swept under the rug. If the Pope's misdeeds can be exposed then so should David Miscavige's.

Here is a fitting new cross for Scientology. I think Scientology blasphemes the Christian cross because of Hubbard's belittling of Jesus Christ and calling Him names. Scientology is anathema to the cross.

Note the presence of Nazi wings signifying suppression, slavery and death. Attend the serpents which represent poison and Satan. Heed the screw which represents what Scientology does to many members, past and present.


I've been viewing many YouTube, Scientology, exposé videos and now understand some of the evils of Scientology better and learned how well-meaning but gullible folks were recruited and then abused or taken advantage of. Much that Scientology does, as told by these former members, is downright criminal. I wonder why there are not more lawsuits?  I wonder how long an ignorant, mean-spirited bully and false man like Miscavige can continue to get away with his abuses. (Some would call them crimes against humanity and human dignity.)

Barbarella Schwartz is Wayward Beyond Redemption! She Prefers Imaginary Men.

http://angryrepublicanmom.blogspot.com/2005/12/liberal-men-vs-conservative-men.html

Poor Barbarella Schwartz. She's Scientology personified. In liberal fashion, she tries hard to act like a man and therefore she causes herself to lack the ultimate female quality - that of being feminine.

**********************

"For a woman qua woman, the essence of femininity is
hero-worship-the desire to look up to man. "To look up" does not mean dependence, obedience or anything implying inferiority. It means an intense kind of admiration; and admiration is an emotion that can be experienced only by a person of strong character and
independent value-judgments. A "clinging vine" type of woman is not an admirer, but an exploiter of men. Hero-worship is a demanding virtue: a woman has to be worthy of it and of the hero she worships. Intellectually and morally, i.e., as a human being, she has to be his equal; then the object of her worship is specifically his masculinity, not any human virtue she might lack.

"This does not mean that a feminine woman feels or projects
hero-worship for any and every individual man; as human beings,
many of them may, in fact, be her inferiors. Her worship is an
abstract emotion for the metaphysical concept of masculinity as
such-which she experiences fully and concretely only for the man
she loves, but which colors her attitude toward all men. This does
not mean that there is a romantic or sexual intention in her attitude
toward all men; quite the contrary: the higher her view of
masculinity, the more severely demanding her standards.
It means that she never loses the awareness of her own sexual
identity and theirs. It means that a properly feminine
woman does not treat men as if she were their pal, sister,
mother-or leader." -- Ayn Rand

*********************

1) Barbarella has stated that the only relationship she wants with a man is to be like a sister. Yes, it's so. This means Barbarella is NOT properly feminine.

2) "To look up to a man" - this means a REAL man not some
silent poltergeist personified like L. Ron Hubbard not some imaginary man like "the real Marty Rathbun" nor any other LIBERAL man which is synonymous with "girly-man" who is no more real than the enturbulator on my bicycle.  

3) She's a clinging-vine type of woman described above when
it comes to her imaginary man. She gushes on and on in her Blog (see sidebar) about how she is a slave to her desires of the flesh with the imaginary MR.

4) Scientology has warped Barbarella's thinking to such an extent
that she's become perfidious, she lacks perspicacity, she has no
understanding of raillery, she doesn't seem to understand what
an arrant religion Scientology is, she's inurbane, she lacks courage
so she flounced off the ARS stage, she's hardly a woman but
rather is a contumacious child as obstreperous as they come.

5) I would gladly take her over my knee and spank some sense into her like Ron or her mother failed to do a long time ago when she was in her formative years lest she become wayward beyond redemption.

But, she's an adult now so look what she needs.
