Only authorised and paid up members may measure godliness in others.
The article seems to believe the church is using a legal sub-corporation to protect the Church’s “E-Meter” device which is some sort of mumbo jumbo dousing rod sort of thing they use in their auditing (ritual?)
Right to repair is never a bad thing and it’s unfortunate that all these bad actors are fighting it to protect their interests
Louis Rossmann pointed out that it’s effectively an ohmmeter 🤣

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
It measures skin conductance, which basically is perspiration rate. It’s used in lie detector tests (which are not credible, by the way) as when your perspiration rate increases, so does your skin conductance.
Lie detectors use this to test if you’re fibbing and I’m sure Scientologist use to to enhance their manipulation when they know you’re talking about something that makes you uneasy.
I wandered into a Scientology center back around 2004 or so, they had left an e-reader sitting out.
It’s an analog ohmmeter. The one I saw had fucking alligator clips attached to two tin cans to act as handles.
My day job at the time used multimeters, and one of them was an old analog meter. I played with it, and the e-reader. They’re the same thing.
They’ve had various models over the years, but yes, they’re all ohmmeters. Apparently, the current ones have updatable firmware for some reason, bringing us to OP.
Yes, this is saying the same thing. The value of conductance is the inverse of resistance. Galvanic skin response uses the term conductance because you’re measuring the presence of sweat, which conducts.
The leaders of a
scamreligion seem like just the people to oppose self sufficiency and free thinking…Not sure why it’s unlikely, they’re on the wrong side of most things
Hey, it’s the sci-fi religion that WILL steal all your money!
I personally call them an actual legal cult that pays their way into not being shut down. They’re like the dodgier version of Mormonism, except more dangerous because they’re all babies who will try to sue you into the ground for not saying nice things about them all the time.
They are the caricature of organised religions.
Yeah, it’s actually kind of impressive how they’ve retained all of the negative aspects of organized religion and none of the positive ones.
If Scientology is against something, we should probably try to implement it at all costs. I consider this to one of the general tenets of humanity.
