Globetrotter, you have to do it all over again to get the “goldener” versions. 😉

Isn’t it past time for GAT III and GAK-(infinity)?
The only golden age is that of Miscavige’s many vaults storing his ill-gotten gains.

Apples and oranges…. The Red cross is a REAL charitable organization to there on the front lines actually helping the unfortunate. scientology … isn’t at all charitable… except in its estimation of itself, claiming successes which have no acquaintance to reality.

The “practitioner side” — co-auditing IS the cheaper/faster up the Bridge to total delusion because you learn what the EPs are and can “originate” something which fulfills the requirements while you’re not too dragged down by the run DOWN so can more easily fake an FN for the examiner.

Richard, Hubbard exhibited signs of classic megalomania, and once when asked how much money would be enough, reportedly said something to the effect he could never get enough – you can take that account with a grain of salt, but it fits. And it fits with his Affirmations, too.

I doubt it was really money to defend himself, as he had enough to do that and ended up hiding out on the cheap anyway when he could have bought an island with the money he had. But I think it might indeed have been intended to be a war chest for future grandiose plans, quite possibly even in his imagined next lifetime.

On the other hand rather than pure greed, Hubbard and scn was always under attack and maybe he figured he needed a huge war chest to defend himself. He did at least state some grandiose plans for “the planet” and many people fell into agreement with him and his supposedly Utopian plans.

Not Necessarily Jere, The Red Cross has a fortune, with many expenses. The CEO of a Cancer charity makes over $5million/year. Top corp tax rate is 21%, not 90%.

RC, That’s how many Indies try to do it but without young Boomers to think that Emperor HAS clothes it is a no go because the tek doesn’t werk

No Axiom. The “Indie” movement is all but dead. Because the “tek” doesn’t work. If even the Grades worked you’d have billionaires lining up to pay billions for a workable Grade I. But, it is all fantasy. Only the thoroughly deluded cannot see it still.

Heck, Bill Gates would probably pay $100,000,000.00 to fix his marriage.

Yes Peacemaker, DM is just more OPENLY ruthless than Hubbard was. But Hubbard was as vicious as DM. Maybe more so. He tried to k1ll a S.O. member who tried to save Hubbard’s life. For Hubbard it was ultimately about the money and not delivery if money could be had anyway.
