A lot of them believe that a stint on staff is more rewarding than a ‘wog’ education because they learn admin tech which comes from LRH and is therefore of more benefit than learning admin the ‘wog’ way.

Cindy, why do I have a vision of the character from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang that offers sweets to kidnap children. These big beings must feel so super super proud conning young children who have no intellectual self defence. How much do you think these people believe what they are saying (or are they saying anything to get that week’s stats up)?

Whether experience on staff at a Scientology organization provides some perceivable benefits or not is besides the main point that the Scn culture overall does not value education and skill building that has currency in the larger world context. It’s all based on the assumption that once you are in the Scn bubble all of your relationships will have cult indoctrination at it’s core. I have known people who valued their time on staff at an early age but not 14, over 18. They said it taught them to be more organized better discipline and more productive. I don’t support people going to war for oil but for some people Army boot camp taught them valuable lessons. The Church of Scientology needs to be held accountable for drawing young people in under false pretenses and making false promises, and then declaring them enemies when they leave and tearing apart their families in the process.

You’re right, Aqua. And also right that the staff members and Ethics Officers and MAA’s drum it into your head that if you leave staff you are letting down the group and are thus a traitor to the group. Back in the 80’s a SO friend of mine was trying to route out of the SO. As you know it takes a long time because no one cooperates with you on the Sec Check, routing form etc. CI all the way to leaving. Her unit that she worked with even go to the point of when she got her food in the mess hall and sat down to eat it, the whole table of people sitting there would take their food and plates and utensils, get up, and relocate to another table, leaving her alone at that table.

Thanks, Infinitely More Trouble. We are on the same page.

Cindy, I’m not surprised either. This is typical ‘Merchant of Chaos’ fodder that the SO uses to recruit and to get donations from people. There are lots of Scientologists and people in general who believe that 9/11 was an inside job; done to curtail civil liberties and to eventually bring about a police state in America. Leave it to the Sea Org to fine tune conspiracy theory and conjecture with patter and video as a recruiting tool for the young and inexperienced.
