Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked If tomatoes scream, can they also "flip you the bird"?
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked I mustard all my senses not to laugh at this with relish. (lord I hate you......... not )
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked If a tomato screamed, in the woods, and there wasn't an auditor to hear them, would it still cost it it's life saving? Only the lonely know. :/ Edit> thanks JCWB VVV ya rock! VVV (dat der be below this post thingy)
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked I believe that most if not all Scientologists believe in that concept since it is in the 'tech'. I certainly saw enough of it in my days in the cult. I even had a highly trained auditor explain all of this to me once because he had to use such silly tactics on a Scientologist who had the nerve to think for himself and ask awkward questions about certain Scientology policies. He screamed like a madman at this guy to get him to fall in line. It sort of worked but in the end this 'free-thinking' Scientologist lost all respect for that auditor and others like him. If nobody else has brought this up; then I feel good because I feel I have revealed something akin to a 'secret' in the ways of Scientology. No protester reading this should ever be mystified when some 'handler' tries this shit on them ever again. To avoid confusion, this is in response to Belladonna's question about Scientologists and their big tough upfront personas.
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked There would be less forced abortions in the Sea Org if they only supplied their people with free condiments.
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked I relish your enthusiasm. Although it puts me in a real pickle.
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked Soy what. Motzerella wit you? How does this help people who cantelope? (I dye knightly)
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked Wow LOL your puns left me pantry. We better stop b4 infraction. This all about Hubbard auditing a plant. He must have been researching Operating Tomatoes.
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked Infractions equal compost for the fertile ground. Lol Mikey, you are probably a ban virgin, you poor thing. Hey LE, lets go out for coffee!
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked Do tomatos have soils? Never seen an punny infract, dome maybe, but really nao, what would the 'Sauce' be without his shocked tomatos? Just another lost sole, floundering around in the mists of thyme. (really, I'm gonna smoke a joint nao, or fucking shoot myself before I wake up, or something)
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked to his defense scientists have wondered if plants feel pain at some level. WikiAnswers - Do plants feel pain
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked Was it ever a point? Well not to me, heck, as far as I am concerned anything that isn't a rock has feelings of some sort, its action/reaction, if you're going to eat things expect that some things aren't happy with it.
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked Hubbard audited many things in his ahem "research"!
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked Belladonna: you mean stuff like this? Geen R.G., Stonner D., & Shope G.L. (1975) The facilitation of aggression by aggression: evidence against the catharsis hypothesis. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 31(4):721-6. Mallick, S. K. & McCandless, B. R. (1966).

Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked So, let me get this straight... The guy wouldn't eat tomatoes because he felt bad for hurting them. But yet, was happy to stab them with metal probes and pass electric currents through them?
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked I think it's called "making shit up for the press". No doubt Hubbard would eat a tomato whenever he felt like it, and if he remembered the "tomatoes have feelings" story, he'd get a happy in his pants at another successful con job.
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked But it was for a "serious scientist death stare" photo op, so morals be damned. (ref: see my avatar...) And Hubbard got to show off his Sooper Hi Tek meter thingy. Hubbard wasn't looking at the dials on the meter, it was meant to impress *you*.
Re: Hubbard's "screaming tomato" engram debunked LMAO!!! XP (those gif's have cracked me funny bones! lolol) Ah yes, LRon the master gardener, from accounts of his moving into St. Hill, he managed to pretty much kill off everything in the massive greenhouse, and still had time to brag to the local populace about creating 'shooper-dooper' plant species by using gamma radiation to mutate them (y'all can guess where that lead...nowhere) XP I've wondered in the past, with all the marvelous 'tech' an' all, why there aren't any massive gardens at, say, Gold Base, growing shooper-dooper foods for the inmates there etc.. Just a wandering reflection, nm.
