Right. Enid was so wonderful that she charged my credit card $10,000 to give to someone else to buy a block of auditing before the Thursday at 2 deadline.

The pressures are so great coming from the little shit Miscavige to SO staff that they’re liable to do anything to prevent a shit storm from smacking them in the face.

Is Cal Cole still around?

I don’t know her age at death, but cancer took her out. She was so well loved. And as one poster said, it is interesting that a lot of good registrars and even the Sr. CS at Flag, Richard Reese, all died within 5 to 10 years of each other. He suggested that maybe they saw the handwriting on the wall and just checked out. One way to leave the base, that’s for sure. I don’t know but there may be truth to that theory. Who else was he talking about that is now gone?

Cindy,

OMG, so shocked and sad to read that Enid died. I loved her. She was my first AO reg back in the ’70’s. So theta and nurturing. Gees, that’s young, not sure she made it to 60.

Right!

Rock – you’re on to something here. The SO wants complete and total allegiance to the group. Individuals and families are nothing and the group is ALL.

It’s pretty sick when you take a step back and really look. Sick and sad at the same time.

Ha Ha Ha. :Thanks for the great levity, Joe. It brought a smile to my day.

Laurie, I”m so sorry to hear that. How the church can turn kids who love their parents into fearful haters of them in such short time is mind boggling. It’s hard to fathom. Can I ask, how are things in PT with your son and you?

Yes I knew her as Ruthie Silverman, a true friend to me for decades, and my first reg at the org. Also the beloved AO reg, Enid Byrnes died. Who else do you know that checked out at that time. Is Steve Kemper alive?

BBJ, first of all, thank you for your years of service in the SO. And you’re right, now that they’ve declared you, what do you have to lose? DO write a tell-all memoir. DO tell where the bodies are buried and shine the light on all the shennanigans and evil that you saw. I look forward to reading your book. As an aside here, there is a guy named LD Sledge who has been promoting heavily his biz as a ghost writer. He says to give him your notes and ideas and he will ghost write a fine book for you. I have often thought how fun it would be to send him memoirs of how it was at Int and at the Hole and how DM did all the overts he did. Wonder how far into reading it he would get before he ran like a scared dog with his tail between his legs?

Yes. I was confused by the Dr. Jeklyll and Mr. Hyde aspects of SO personalities also.
Some SO members seemed so good, pure, kind, and sacrificing themselves for others beyond belief. Others totally shocked me with viciousness. The dichotomy I could not resolve, and still cannot.
