Atheism isn't funny because it's too true.Saxman wrote:Funny, I have been looking for some good atheist jokes but can't find any really good ones. There are tons of jokes about everything else.

Now Scientology, on the other hand, is untrue and quite funny:

How many Scientologists does it take to change a light bulb?

From: Funky Donny <ed@heavymetal.demon.co.uk>
500. 35 at CLO to write ethics chits about it being blown, 65 members of the FP committee to approve the purchase order, 1 to change it, and 399 to sign the "light bulb to socket" routing form.

None. As soon as it blows it becomes suppressive and they're forbidden any further contact with it. In any case they can just get a couple of OT's to postulate that it's still daylight ...

If the light bulb is at St Hill, the bulb is not officially changed. If one person tries to change it, he is declared suppressive for unscrewing what Hubbard screwed personally; saying that you personally saw a RPF slave screw the light bulb will get you a SLAPP lawsuit for having trade secrets you are not supposed to know except by theft or spying, and the lawsuit will be sealed by the cult if they can. Insisting will have you framed or there will be a constant attempt (lasting decades if necessary) to drive you nuts so you go out and bomb the cult or something.
Of course, if you have money they will forgive you after you do about a year of RPF slave camp and all your auditing again from scratch.
The light bulb will be changed in everyone's sight by a RPF slave, who would quit Co$ if only he had money for a bus ticket out of there. Any wog who comes in will be told how Hubbard screwed the light bulb and it never went dark, ever! For those who would notice the light bulb was manufactured in a company that started after Hubbard's death, see xenu.com and stare at the truth!

All the OTs in the world postulating together couldn't even change a light bulb into a dark bulb.

Two: one to hold each wire, and the other to ask questions of the first until the bulb lights up.

It takes 8 million (falls over a Red Volume in the dark)

One assumes that the bulb needs replacing because it has blown. In all such cases where a Suppressive Electrician is found, watch out for legal repercussions by having reliable witnesses present during such tapping with finger or jiggling, and take liberal notes for possible Comm Ev. This is why there also must be a Hubbard's Electricians Office representative handling it.
If there is no agreement to be changed and the bulb who is found to be a Suppressive Device will not respond to A to E (because bulb has blown and can't be seen in the dark or because the bulb flatly refuses to break the laws of physics), the bulb is considered terminated.

Two to hold the ladder, one two screw the lightbulb into a faucet. One to assign the first three to a condition of "treason" when it is discovered that the light still doesn't work, which must mean that the infallible light bulb changing tech was incorrectly applied. Ten to try and get CNN, Hollywood "news" shows or any other gullible media to do a piece on the effectiveness of the scientology light bulb changing tech, five to do the clay demo and word clearing. Fifteen to tell an acceptable truth to anyone asking if the light is now working, seven to write success stories. Twenty to investigate anyone who has the temerity to point out that the light is, in fact, not working. A hundred to give death stares and snap their hands clam style at the critics in an attempt to stimulate their reactive minds and drive them insane. A thousand to investigate the critics, publish dead agent attacks, arrange counter demonstrations, and deny that anything is wrong.

Who paid you to say the light bulb needs changing? Psychiatrists? Do you know psychiatrists have the highest incidence of rape? 2500 cases! They hate me!

From: "Tim Roberts" <tim@troberts.win.net>
Well, if the light bulb really feels the need for change, then perhaps that light bulb sees that things are not working too well for it. It is not using all of its capabilities, it feels less alive, less on. There are old things inhabiting this light bulb and, thus, inhibiting its full potential.
The bulb needs to find out what's going on. DYEANNETIX can help. It has been hailed by critics and professionals, often called "The User's Manual for the Light Bulb Mind." The bulb should buy it and read it today!
Yet there are those who wish to persecute the light bulb, and anyone else, for wanting to better itself through a program documented by pure science. There is a tremendous wave of religious persecution in this country, much like there was under the Nazi reigime. We, and that light bulb who wants to change, must be allowed to without persecution, intervention, and general bad vibes from the populace.

From: Jim Byrd <byrd@NOSPAM.acm.org>
Scientologists say that reality is agreement and that they have power over MEST (matter, energy, space, time). So they just have to agree that the light bulb does not need changing.

From: inducto@aol.com (Inducto)
There's no need to change it, it works perfectly and is 100% effective, and is constantly expanding to boot. Your perception that it's not working is a result of brainwashing by psychiatrists, and your misunderstanding the words "light" and "dark". It works just fine for me, and anyway, scientology has given me increased abilities that allow me to see in the dark - that table I knocked over is just an indication that I need to take one more course to refine my abilities.

Did you know that Hubbard was totally professional in light bulb changing? In fact he is responsible for totally new breakthroughs in the technology of changing light bulbs.
If you sign up for the course on the Freewinds you too can be an OT Light Bulb changer.

No, because Hubbie was not able to that himself, so, he did not wrote any HCO PL on Bulb Changing, revised and rerevised the ... etc.

Six. 1 to be hatted as I/C of the bulb changing project. 1 to be hatted as the bulb changer. 2 to be hatted as ladder holders. 1 undercover Op to shoplift the bulb since the org probably has no money budgeted for bulbs or toilet paper. 1 ethics officer to sec check the bulb changer and ladder holders. 1 OSA case officer to hat and do shoplifting TRs with shoplifter Op.

[the ex-staff member version] One to change the light bulb; 19 to get the P.O. through F.P.
[P.O. is purchase order. F.P. is financial Planning (meeting) where prospective purchases detailed on a P.O. are OK'd or not. (Usually not.)]

That's joking and degrading. Report to Ethics.
