“We added over 50 staff in the last couple of months.” interpretation: 49 of them left because the DBs, CICS moaned that they couldn’t live on 35 cents a day. We are mankind’s ONLY hope and they complain about their paycheck!!! When they all get to Target Two, the old man is NOT going to be happy. Remember: JUST MAKE IT GO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Intensives start as LOW as $1,875. BraveBloggers, you hit the nail on the head! Some things come to mind: A surf vacation on Maui. A massive new curved ‘flat screen.’ A trip to Disney World. A fantastic trip up Highway 1 (along the coast of California) to the redwoods. Paying down on any debt. Or, just keeping the money instead of giving it to a cult! Damn I’m glad I’m out…

Hi Idle Morgue,What a great post,thank you so much.It is truly a moment that hung and swung in time,when I finally realized that all Ron’s SO World,was crackling & fading around me.In my SO time I was told by many exes who I really liked then,”that I would never be the same”after joining the SO.And most important I would always be protected if anything went wrong.That should have been a red flag,I did not see that at the time.Some years later when I strongly asked for protection from the antics of the GOI,I was left to twist in the wind.A lot of this recall has only surfaced in the past month.SO situations can lie dormant in memory for years & then reappear.Sometimes I feel we were all in some crazy hypnotism game & the more we played the more into Ron’s/David’s World we were pulled into.Always Ann.

Gosh, Idle, that’s quite the post! You and I, and many others here, knows what it’s like to be on staff, let alone SO. It was a mind bending world we lived and worked in.

When a B of I was done on me, i realized how insane this group really was. A short time later I was gone.

Since I never had the time to surf while on staff in Hawai’i, the first thing I did with my new found freedom was to paddle out at Waikiki Beach and catch some tasty waves! I’ll tell you Idle, when I caught my first wave, I had more so-called case gain than I EVER got in the cult. It was pure freedom!

I wish you had taken a picture of your smashed up e-meter and posted it here with a sign that says: “This is scientology! It’s crap just like my meter.”

(coffee all over my computer now!) Oh my! NOW THAT’S SOME REALLY, REALLY FUNNY SHIT! I laughed myself silly. My compliments, I Yawnalot! Still can’t stop laughing…

Roger, I sit at the feet of the master: You! I believe both of us, though, are on the same frequency here. …”it is IMPOSSIBLE to find what was never lost.” Very deep and very true…

I’m glad you post here.

There used to be a mission in Elizabeth, New Jersey (the home of L. Ron Hubbard’s ORIGINAL Dianetics Research Foundation on Aberdeen Street). The mission was open about 16 hours a week whenever the people who worked there could find the time in their busy schedules to help their fellow man in some way. It then moved a few blocks away to a busier street and then closed. At about the same time the mission of Teaneck, New Jersey also closed. Then there were none. Finally a new one opened in Hawthorne, New Jersey and in Elizabeth, New Jersey a Spanish dentist opened a mission in the back room his dental office. I don’t think anyone can fit a desk in there never mind roaring Saint Hill size public. In addition any materials offered are in English and the entire area is 90% Hispanics, almost all of whom do not have good English. Is that LRH tech in action? Is that people starting on their bridges or routes to Clear? VOTE NO to the Church of Scientology in the 2015 elections! 🙂

He’s not called a pathological liar for nothing!

The clock struck one (more time, on the ego, just for good measure)
The mouse fell down (with an ominous, humiliating, 3″ thud!)
