This picture book advertisement/promotion for Scientology
Volunteer
Ministers must have been made during the late sixties
or early
seventies:

See the progression of religion through the ages, until
it produces
the ultimate superhero of our time -- the Scientology
Volunteer
Minister! See our heroic SVM clean up the community,
show the police
how to do their jobs, perform laying on hands, and (especially)
introduce other members of the community to Scientology
in a picture
format so cheesy, you'd have to believe this thing was
made by
Scientology's enemies in order to discredit it!

This is a large chunk of the original Volunteer Minister
Handbook with
(dreadful) photography by L. Ron Hubbard and (dreadful)
drawings by
(I believe) Arthur Hubbard. Was this small section
also released as a
pamphlet?
My personal guess is this will be DMCA'ed pretty quickly.

I'm looking forward to reading the new, improved captions
for these

It seems inevitable, doesn't it?
BTW, regarding wristwatches: There are very few such
timepieces in
evidence here. Were they simply unpopular at the time
these photos were
taken, or did they tend to find thier way to the pawnshop
to buy a few
minutes of peace from the Reg?

If you want to do that, I suggest that you back up the
website now. I have
a funny feeling this site is not long for the world
and that DMCA notifications
are in its future.
Also, any fair use parodies should be posted to alt.binaries.scientology
and possibly alt.binaries.slack too. I'm not sure which
abs you're referring
to.

I didn't even know there was an alt.binaries.5c1ent0logy.
Good grief,
why won't you let L. "L. Cool" Ron alone?
I got an idea. We'll trade you purple for one of them
tricked-up limited
edition Harley-Davidson-themed E-meters and a couple
of "can't miss"
zombie prospects to be named later. The Church of the
Subgenius is
trying to restock its farm system, in anticipation of
several members
"jumping ship" in a couple of weeks.
What the heck, we'll trade you "Bob" for $30.

This stuff is to be found in the "Scientology Minister's
Handbook",
an immense book the size of a small end table found
in second
hand book stores occasionally.
There is quite a bit of ludicrous crap in this book,
including these
pictures.
The photographer was none other Than Elron Hubbard himself.
They were taken about the time Hubbard was trying to
make
movies while hiding in California.

It's like a set from a high school play. (Love that
cardboard lightning
bolt on #1!)
Hey, check out pic #16...note the specification of the VM's role:
"A Volunteer Minister's role includes disseminating
Scientology to all
those persons reaching for more knowledge. He sells
them the books of
Dianetics and Scientology containing all the original
data and which
will answer any of their questions." (Sounds more
like a salesman than a
minister. Note the implication that the VM isn't qualified
to answer
questions, the books are supposed to do that.)
BTW, in the bottom photo of page sixteen, why is that
dork fiddling with
what looks like some kind of 1960s Radio Shack home
electronics kit
while consulting the VM Handbook??

oh that you'd get a DMCA order to authenticate this,
It was truely mortifying to look at it...I do recall
seeing this,
matter of fact, the red haired guy laying on the ground....playing
the
street crime victim.... I think I know that guy...
All you need now is the 'Power of Source' LP playing
in the
background, and this presentation could be used as the
trailer for the

I think its terrible that all of you are making fun
of someone's religion!
I know many scientologists and they are very nice people.
How would you like it if someone made fun of your religion?
