Fridays at Narconon Fresh Start (Front Group for Scientology):
Every single Friday is Graduation Day in the 'program.' Cake and desserts are always served and graduations are celebrated.
Sweets are not distributed during other days of the week. The other days are dessert-free and celebration-free.
Seems normal enough, until a Friday passes where nobody is graduating. Friday is still graduation day. Cake is still served. It is still graduation day. It is still celebrated.
It is a method of pacification and control. The 'students' look forward to the sugar together and bond together over it.
They struggle together 6 days of the week with the course material and the bizarre exercises which are mentally exhausting (all brainwashing is) together.
It is a mockery of the Sabbath Day which was designed for us to rest, not celebrate with sugar.
The maliciousness of the meaningless Friday celebration and the only weekly source of refined sugar still might not be apparently evil.
Let me explain with an illustration.
Imagine: I want something from you, am short on time and am not particularly interested in you, but hide it well.
Surely you have met such types. The type that is interested in having fun mostly. Sure they would love to have a drink with you. They love parties. They are not the type that would drive you to the airport however.
If that type of person spent decades chain smoking cigarettes thinking about how to captivate, hypnotise, and control people, like L. Ron Hubbard did, they might come up with a trick like this to bond with you.
Instructions On Bonding With Someone Using A Second Fake Birthday:
Select a day that you are in the mood to be generous and have fun. (We all have those days!)
Find a person you want something from.
Tell that person today is their new 2nd birthday.
Take them to dinner.
Remember the date.
Repeat next year.
That person is going to look forward to that day of the year next year and they now have a new bond to you.
The problem is they are going to know you are a creep.
