Can confirm it was not warm inside. Definitely no heating. I had a woolly hat and scarf covering my face.

The YouTuber in question here. Rather condescending to assume I don’t understand the years of indoctrination. I’ve been studying this and other cults for many years.

The aim of the video isn’t to make those very few amount of people in the org see the light, (although May implant a spec of doubt in their mind); it is to make a somewhat comedic but educational short video with the aim of drawing attention to the dangers of falling for such a scheme.

It’s been seen by thousands of people, and have had many emails from people who had no idea that it wasn’t a normal, family friendly religion. So it’s had the desired effect. Appreciate the time to watch though.

There is so much wrong, it takes patience to dissect all the wrongs going on, here in Brighton Org, with their spiritual technical leader behaving like other jobs have been mistrained to act. The DSA/OSA boss is to wear this counter attack nastiness “hat” and this top trained staffer is unfortunately wearing the nasty “hat” more than wearing his spiritual counselor/case-supervisor/auditor-trainer “hats”.

Hubbard made this mess, and Miscavige’s irreligious attitude has taken precedence over the “auditor” impartial “Auditor’s Code” highest principles of no inval, no eval.

The Ethics/OSA/DSA attack loudly the “enemies” “hat” is on display, showing Hubbard’s nastiness institutionalized behavior that Scientology “leaders” are to display.

It’s all on Hubbard, these nasty current behaviors which Miscavige’s hands have pushed to be on prominent display by Scientology organization PR people and “leaders.”

——————————-

There is so much wrong with Hubbard’s administrative setup, the positions Hubbard required the official “orgs” have within them, there is just so much wrong expectations Hubbard has in the wings, options to behave irreligiously.

——————————-

Official Scientology has too much Hubbard options to behave futilely and irreligiously.

—————————–

The setup is overbuilt with bad requirements, unachievable requirements, and nasty irreligious behaviour options which are misinterpreted to be required.

Too many ways to fail, Hubbard gave them painful choices, which only make things worse for themselves.

—————————

The only saner option is quit, at all times. “Quit fast” as in Keeping Scientology Working, is always the option best to take. (“….if they are going to quit let them quit fast…” — L. Ron Hubbard, Keeping Scientology Working)

Scientology is a false subject presenting itself to be grand and world saving, yet it grinds up it’s followers so that most who ever tried to be Scientologist staff have failed and moved on in their lives, rightly.

I was a Flag admin trainees Course Supervisor, 1977 til 1983, at Clearwater, (one year I was demoted to Word Clearer), and those 6 years, daily, I was in touch with “outer org trainees,” of all org sizes.

I also did the side job, that many Clearwater, then “Flag” Bureaux management had a side job assignment to hold the “Org Flag Officer” letter answering, and filing jobs, to upkeep the “Data Files” on one’s assigned org somewhere in the world. (OFO duty, Org Flag Officer duty, keeping the Data Files neat and properly filed, and answer letters to the orgs’ staffs.)

But both being in the “outer org” admin staffers training, and doing “Org Flag Officer” filing and letter answering, you get the real on the ground look of orgs, week by week. I got to know the orgs of the 1977 to 1983 time slot pretty closely.

It was a scene of normalized desperation, the moonlighting which was uniform in those years, with only tiny exceptions.

All those years, there was a term, “small and failing orgs” for the majority of the orgs which existed in the world. Most orgs have always been “small and failing” category. Then and now.

Usually only a handful of personnel, who did all the work, meaning 5 or so “stable” staff, and not like even today, not Flag trained in tech, not Flag trained in admin either.

This all said, this Brighton Org, actually looks better than MOST of the “small and failing orgs” of the 1977 to 1983 period when I was a Flag admin “outer org” course sup and did my duty as Org Flag Officer.

It’d be interesting if someone could dig up David Hartley, he was the LRH original asssigned Org Flag Officer In Charge, he ran the assignments for Flag staff to be the Org Flag Officers (filing and letter answering). David had a number or LRH personal orders, which became the OFO Issues one had to study, for doing one’s OFO duties to the assigned org one upkept the Data Files and answered staffs’ letters.

The running of the orgs, like Janis Grady recently said in an interview, LRH was quite aware of how dismally small and failing, and how hard the work was in the orgs.

But even though LRH knew this, I do think his expectations are just grossly unrealistic, it was and always will be expecting too much of the orgs’ staffs to run these overmanned organizations to sell and deliver the Scientology quackery pseudo-therapy.

The problem of overmanning, the overbuilt orgs, the over expectations to have these huge staffs, and do this vast array of duties in these orgs, is Hubbard’s over building. That’s a core factor to the ongoing charade of Scientology’s “Ideal Orgs” which push them to be what is futile for them ever becoming. It’s simply expecting too much, and unrealistic.

The Hubbard massive administrative burden on the staffs, and then the whole blaming atmosphere is on the staffs, and blaming the management echelons of the Sea Org, keeps the staffs targeting each other for their failing. Hubbard wrote it so.

Hubbard build up this whole multi echelon expectation on the staffs, to deal with their duties.

——————————

Scientology ought to be more like a Chiropractic College, at best, and if that.

It might not deserve the word “religion” attached to it, due to the massive number of irreligious like behavior of official Scientology currently. Possibly a milder smaller setup could deserve the ‘religion” label. (But even some Scientologists who are quitters to official Scientology don’t even consider themselves a “religion.”)

And the movement ought to be upfront what they are teaching. (Past lives soul memories alleviation and exorcism)

The only large groups of incorporated Scientologists should really only be like a Chiropractic College, and teach making auditors, period.

Just train auditors and auditors go out and make their own way, like trained Chiropractors.

And groups of auditors maybe have organizational setups like Dentist groups.

No need for any Sea Org management. That whole part of Hubbard’s building of today’s official Scientology, is futile failing, and perpetuates this Brighton Org small and failing org model.

If people want Scientology pseudo-therapy directed at their current and past life soul memories, or if people want to find their body-thetans and get their body-thetans exorcised, then find some quitter Scientologist auditor/exorcist.

(it’s quackery to me, but if someone wants to know what Scientology offers, a person will find out quicker by searching the internet, and getting a Trey Lotz type of person to give them the pseudo-therapy and exorcism.)

ex Sea Orger (1975 to 2003)

False analogy. The guy did not interrupt a religious service, nor did he denigrate any religious beliefs. He simply stated an objective truth about the head of their organisation. Further exposure/discussion of this non-religious (legal) fact clearly needed to be shielded from nearby members (information control).

An arguably more suitable (though admittedly imperfect) analogy would be if someone walked into a church, was invited to sit down with the priest for a chat, and asked to discuss the pope’s handling of sexual abuse allegations. Maybe.

@Paul Ronk,

Wait, wait! I just thought of something else! There is Lost Tech on this course.

Lost Tech, long suppressed by SPs surrounding LRH back in the day.

But now found and restored brilliantly by COB.

On the all new and 100% Standard “Handling the
F—-k Out of the F—-ng C—-sucker SP Course” is now “The YSCOHB” Checklist!

A trained, Class V Senior C/S. Man oh man. Sad indeed.

Cavalier, I get your point and don’t disagree per se, but there are ways to handle a disrespectful out of context question from someone who has just walked in, and to escort such a person out of the general hearing of others, or out of the building altogether without resorting to “Get the fuck out”. I’m not Catholic either but I’ve met a number of priests in my lifetime and found them to be both perceptive people and witty, smooth talkers. I can’t imagine a Roman Catholic priest or a nun handling such a situation in this manner. Churches of all denominations’ doors are usually wide open during services and all kinds of folk can and do wander in, including homeless people who are largely alcoholics or substance abusers who are liable to say anything. Or possibly they’re just mentally ill in harmless ways coming in because they’re cold, or exhausted and just want to sit somewhere in peace for a while. Possibly once they were in the religion of the church before their lives went south. In cities you’ll see a lot of this. Clergy of all kinds experience non parishioners in their churches all the time. Its only Scientology which freaks and clutches pearls if someone walks in and God Forbid asks a question unflattering or uncomfortable for them. They’re supposed to be expert communicators but they can’t handle raw public at all anymore.

Probably the only trained in tech there (Div 4). It astounds me that this org even exists at all with no signage to show there’s an org there. They really are in hiding. No Div 6. Do they even have an ED? I really get why Jason would snap like that. He’s probably so fed up with the org going no where. But that’s the life he’s chosen and he’s got himself stuck in it.
