content: Rossmann is forgetting the E-meter ".. in the hands of a trained operator, the meter can indicate whether a person has been relieved from the spiritual impediment of past experiences."It's a skin resistance galvanometer but it's use is in a "clearing session" where a person confesses all their transgressions. The session is recorded and guess who now has some blackmail leverage? This locks a person into Scientology for life unless you are pretty boring.So a DCMA clause to protect pseudoscience devices, Xenu the alien? Prepare your butthole the aliens are coming to visit...

content: I wonder if Isaac Asimov ever paid L. Ron Hubbard his dollar? Scientology sounds like a SciFi story that's come to life.It's not surprising: If you've ever discussed warp drive with a Trekkie, it is easy to see how a religion such as Scientology could be created by a SciFi author.

content: The E-meter as a device is a bridge between the spirit world and ordinary reality. Such things are importantAn untrained operator could cause a disturbance in the space-time continuum. Imagine a bungled repair job on one.Last time it was the Stay Puft marshmallow man and Gozer the Gozerian that entered this world. They are probably behind cancelling Rossmann's Amazon account. Just terrible.

content: I admire the panel design, especially the moving-panel meter, which adds artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.(The late Senator Sam Ervin, quoting W S Gilbert's Pooh-Bah inThe Mikado, during the Watergate hearings.)

content: Quote from: magic on September 02, 2023, 06:56:57 amYes, and quite a few others have done the same.Hubbard's genius though was to create a religion based on some pseudo-science, which could look "scientific" enough to fit perfectly well within most modern political regimes.

content: Several decades ago, an acquaintance brought me one of those units because it wasn’t working.As others have mentioned, the outside looked futuristic and well made.Inside however, was a completely different story. It was an absolutely unmitigated mess. Point to point wiring in terminal strips. I saw a few instances where wires or components were incorrectly connected or not connected anywhere else… they were only there to confuse and disguise.

content: Quote from: schmitt trigger on September 03, 2023, 03:06:30 amClearly they were beyond your understanding. The complex electronics are supposed to turn the bad money in the customer's pocket and through the miracle of Scientology turn it into good money in the "church's" pocket.

content: I know, I know. I am not worthy.These units employ unique fuzzy-linear Germanium Carbide ICs, to implement “no-pass filters” and “noise amplifiers”, which reject ALL the signals and only provide as an output distorted noise.

content: I remember reading L. Ron was very particular about the E-meter dynamics. He was unhappy with a new model and totally redid the panel meter. Its ballistics, bobbing had to be just right because a certain wiggle means the alternate universe is communicating and you are not clear, there is a problem with your thetan.Whoever designed this and what firm manufactures this, I believe the latest models are digital w/firmware, must be basking in his Lambo...
