Hey Hallie Jane. Oooh. We’re telling Flag stories now? I got a doozie.

This isn’t about me but about someone I know who went there. This was only about 2011, so not too long ago. She doesn’t know that I’m telling this story and, for all I know, she’s still in.

This person went to Flag to get all sorted out. They were at the top of their field and doing pretty good financially, but wanted some help in other areas.

Just getting to Flag was an engram because this person kept being told that she couldn’t go but no one would ever tell her why. And the local rep from Flag was an antagonistic @sshole. Some Italian guy. Pain in the butt.

Finally, they let her go.

Once she gets to Flag, she starts telling her story. One, that she’s been psychic all her life and two that, of course she’s seen alien ships. Duh. Usual stuff.

Know what Flag tells her? With a lot of force, mind you, “You take that back!! You can’t be psychic! You’re lying!!” “No I’m not lying,” she says! By this time, they have 5 or 6 people in the room telling her that she can’t POSSIBLY be psychic. She asked why and, get this: They say, “You are NOT OT per the grade chart so it’s IMPOSSIBLE that you are psychic!!” The same with UFO spotting. “You couldn’t have possibly seen that UNLESS you were OT!!! So take it back! Say it’s not true!”

She finally said it wasn’t true just to get away from this room full of lunatics.

Can you believe this!?! The “friendliest place on earth??”

She was so concerned that she called a friend and said, “Listen, if you don’t hear from me at 10:30 every night, you come over and GET ME out of here. I’ll pay the plane fare, just come and get me!”

And she was serious.

Can you believe that sh!t? You are degrading the tech if you say you can do any of those things and you aren’t OT.

IN-freakin’-sane.

Welcome to Flag. The home of standard tech. Not.

Oh, by the way, my friend’s stats have been crashed since. I guess Flag got its product.

I had a similar experience, about 15 intensives of the worst auditing I’ve ever had before I realized I didn’t want what they were offering any more. I was raising kids too which is totally and completely unreal, as a critically important post for the world to function. I can’t express how little respect I have for flag.

It made me laugh to see that they don’t trust their NOTs completions that they would need yet ANOTHER
OT eligibility check, must be purely for the money. Step B should only be “if needed”. Scratch step C unless just loaded with O/Ws.

Thank the Lord or whoever that it is so easy for most well intentioned individuals to get onto Solo NOTs.

Hello Anonymous,

The first time I read your post I saw right through your communication, which had really nothing to do with “annoying men on the Internet” and everything to do with Mike Rinder himself.

Your attempt to undermine, ridicule, or invalidate Mike, his blog, and the articles and comments here will not fly. This is because you are up against too many actively thinking, creative minds who not only understand the power of communication, but enjoying using it.

There is a reason you are here on this blog. Something is catching your interest. Keep looking and learning. Have an honest conversation or two, or three, with yourself.

Mike is a generous host and gives much leeway to people to speak their minds. I’m sure there’s a lot that he doesn’t agree with but allows it all the same.

I wish you luck on your journey.

Thanks Gus,

I remember the “old” Solo Course where these lunatics (if you were a trained auditor you could sign it off) actually had to fly ruds on another student which was always good for some comic relief 😉

and I am disgusted with so many people I have met in the “Community” who can’t fly ruds solo.

That said, why is it that used to be one step from OTV to OTVII that being a good solid solo course but now there are 5 steps called A to E?

Well it must be the usual $$$$$$$$$$’s.

And Mike made an excellent point about who decided who is ready and fit. I remember it used to be chap called a C/S.

Now its some Inspective Detector.

I do so enjoy this soap opera called the C of S

What was that song called

“I’m forever blowing bubbles”

LOL

In all seriousness, Idle Morgue, you’ve the nail on the head. 🙂

Another serious point here about typos, to a foreign language student such typos could be major MUs, seeing we’re really gettting down to the nitty-gritty of things here.

*Yissee, Anonymous! What’s your point?

Scientology is the most advanced, the most professional and the most sophisticated tech this universe has ever come across. And we boast a Qual Division. Must we tolerate such sloppy presentation from members of this elite group? I think not!

I’m a female English Grammar Nazi.

*South African for – ‘gosh!’, ‘hell man!’, ‘crikey moses!’, ‘goodness!’, ‘what on earth…?’

Doesn’t this mean that all the eligibilities in the past that took over one intensive were out tech? So this means that they blew off hundreds or thousands of people with their out tech?? And the years they have been claiming total perfection prior to GAT 2 were all lies??!!
