Hi SunnyV, Thank you,a great post. Made me very happy.xo Ann B.

In the late 70’s early 80’s there was a comp announced in reception every half hour or so, everyday. 10 a week WOW ~ an inverse power stat. Lol

Hi Dent, Yes hubby and I would never not be at OSD’s Party of the Millenium! I am a lady who has lived in alot of different places.We have lived in Baton Rouge LA for 20 years but I am from Boston,Mass and hubby from Park Ave in NYC.We came here not knowing a soul and we are still deciding if we might move to Pensacola,FL in the future.Lived in Tallahassee FL for three and one half years,like that other side of Florida too.
You bring the beer and I’ll bring my red vino and it will be so good to meet y’all.I love saying that! xo Ann B.

Hi WhatWall, Thank you for your astute comment about letter regges and time on post today.It is a craft and I was pushing that stat of letters in/ out very hard.When I held the Advance Scheduling Reg post from above & still did letter regging, Crazy!, but I worked as letter reg for a solid year before I did ASR too.So today the grammar,the desperation in the letters now is sad to see but telling.Scientology is in the long long slow plunge off the cliff of it’s own creation.You are kind to complement me,I always tried to come in with each letter as a friend and one who wanted to help all get to Asho & AOLA & The Apollo if I could sell someone stuff there.Did that maybe four times but big $ sheep at the time.Today I wish I could take all the regging I did back,but I have to own that I got $ out of many folks,some who I was ordered on pain of Ethics by my supervisor to sell all their mest to get up to Asho.Even when they would be broke by doing that cycle.I am truly sorry.xo Ann B.

Hi Michael Winters, It is good to meet you.I liked and so agree with your post.Us old-timers do remember well the boom times at Asho, AOLA and all the completions and all the bodies in the shop! I do feel as you that remembering what once was and seeing what is now,well I could never stay on staff anywhere or god forbid still be in Sea Org.Those two ” withered ghosts ” as you so aptly posted,will continue to twist in David’s wind until one day they will break loose and float away.Always, Ann B.

The last sign of life the Campaign mission had was a very impressive Anonymous protest there in 2008. I call it impressive because their were at least 20 protestors and it was 10 degree with -20 wind chill! Poor mission probably hadn’t seen that many people at it’s door in a decade combined.

Making you accept contrary facts and charging you to replace that confusion with another confusion is how the scam works. Confusion – “cognitive dissonance” – is the only thing is can reliably achieve.

Same OSA troll or eastern european plant posted almost the same thing, with CoS dead agent link, on Tony’s blog under “Cathy” I don’t think anyone even noticed but I called it out anyway. They are ants trying to stop a tidal wave of truth.

The list [described] would be incomplete without including “the mislead”,
and those still in the process of figuring it out.
Which would be, hopefully, all of us.
And, does “insane” include the deluded?
For there is the sum total of one reality for each perceiver.

Considering that all of us humans are equipped with remarkably crude tools of perception, …
and from that incomplete sentence, may I step aside and allow you to contemplate towards drawing your own conclusions?

I don’t know Foolproof, or what he said. What I do know is that scientology will begin by supplanting the perceiver with a new, cloistered reality that has the very specific purpose of shifting control away from that individual.
Confusion would be a notable ingredient in the formula known as
“Scientology”. So is secrecy, and isolation.
That, altogether, results in a rather solid, rigidly closed belief-system being installed. Effectively.
That is THE one thing scientology is exceptionally good at doing.

Escaping the church does not immediately result in escaping such beliefs, it is only the first step towards that noble goal. The victimized believer does not believe that he is being deceived, at least not to the complete degree that scientology has intended that deception to be. Nor would he be aware, thanks again to the cult’s cultivated intention to keep its intentions shrouded.

Same as the “way in”, the way out is going to have to be some kind of step-by-step, cognitive process, capitalizing on more than one source of information. Social interaction, I think, is the key. Family is certainly a crucial bond, but that powerfully beneficial connection is not always at hand.
Compassion for another, regardless of where he or she stands on the path, is always the proper gift.

So, my hand goes out to all that have their eyeballs engaged and pointed in the right direction.

It’s just a miserable prediction, saying to person that it is impossible to recover.
And not true.
