Yeah, and that really flies in the face of an oft read and quoted PL The Magic Of Good Management, under the section, Bodies In The Shop. I don’t have it to hand but to paraphrase: ‘Give them a place to come in to and sit down with their shopping……whatever reason, keep bodies moving through the shop, whether they’re buying or not.’
I wonder how many Flag staff are trying to figure out how to fit this PL to the current scene. Yet another example of how off-Source it’s become.

You know, someone here commented on the ripping off of illegal pcs by getting their money, debiting one short session, and then routed to MAA to be told illegal. That is something that you can sue over, a similar case to the Garcias. It is taking your money and promising to use it to do a certain purpose, and then telling you you don’t qualify for that purpose. I say that some of these illegal pcs that had that done band together for a class action lawsuit. The more lawsuits we can bring, the more media attention and hopefully it will bring on more investigations and the final shutting down of DM. Anyone else think it is lawsuit material?

Mreppen, How can this be? How can the church ban you from two whole entire cities? The only way I know of is to get a restraining order from a court, which means they go legal when they forbid everyone else to go legal. But even if the did break their own rule to go legal, most restraining orders I have heard of aren’t so big and all-encompassing to include an entire city. Any more details on this?

ha ha ha. Good one Steve

Hallie Jane, good post. And I also have observed the same thing about Flag Qual. And as it degraded more and more, Qual became another registrar. Instead of helping you find your words, false data stripping you or flying cramming ruds before a cram etc, they were regging people to “stay at Flag and do such and so service”, “stay and get onto VII” and all sorts of stuff. So now Qual has been strong-armed into being a reg, which is someone else’s post. All posts collapsed into being registrars.

You got that right, Francis. Does anyone remember the time period when people going to Flag for Refreshers, 6 month checks, whatever they called it, but if you were reading a novel of your choice in the pc waiting lounge, you were jumped on and made wrong and told to listen to LRH tapes or reach LRH books only. So you couldn’t even read what you wanted. And if you were talking with friends you hadn’t seen for a long time, you were both told that between sessions you should be reading or listening to LRH. Then they upped the force by trying to body route everyone to a courseroom where they could read The Basics between sessions. And in that courseroom you had to make it to roll calls and couldn’t leave to go, say, have a nap, or eat a bite to make sure you remained sessionable. Controlling is an understatement.

From Science of Survival: “The individual who simply turns to the theta universe and perceives there certain visionary things is not necessarily aberrated at all, but may simply be high on theta perceptics.” and definition of theta perceptics: “Communication with the theta universe. Such perceptics may include hunches, predictions, ESP at greater and lesser distances, communication with the ‘dead,’ perception of the Supreme Being, etc.”

Years ago, I read in an Advance mag an OT PHENOMENA SUCCESS STORY wherein a woman was visited in her house by a disembodied being who tried to scare her by mocking itself up as an ancient Egyptian god. She sent this being packing. So, these days that could get her banished from Flag??!! I know a number of OT’s who have told of being visited by a “dead” person. Now that’s a Flag no no??!! Sick, sick, sick.

Yes, delusional. They believe that DM is the new and improved LRH.

Of course you’re right Peter. It’s important to confront but at the same time, hard to fathom. I’m comforted by the datum that karma’s a bitch.
