Still on your Side, this is my issue… Why on EARTH would DM have the policies he has unless he actually WANTED Co$ to crash and burn? Methinks he wants to retire. Disappear – only not into the ‘Hole’ as the people before and around him did – but to a plush residence with Lou and/or her replacements? I’m fairly convinced that DM wants to crash the ‘religion’. He’s obviously not a believer, anyway. He’s Madoff, but with a different platform, from which he can enrich himself. The burning of that platform means that he gets away with it…

Think ye all?

Outraged, your name is appropriate and you are correct to be outraged. Why isn’t every adult in the church outraged? They are being degraded day after day. Is Miscavige carrying out some kind of insane practical joke to see how much humiliation and insanity an individual will take? Here are the steps Miscavige has taken that have lead to his only success, the mass exodus of members and the mass degradation of those that remained: Step 1, withdraw nutrition; Step 2, withdraw decent housing; Step 3, break up families through forced disconnection; Step 4, prevent new families from being formed by forbidding new marriages and by ordering forced abortions; Step 5, sell GAT I; Step 6, throw out GAT I, sell GAT II; Step 7, drive new members running out the door by crush regging visitors and newcomers who show any interest; Step 8, get rid of hundreds of members by issuing mass SP Declares; Step 9, build dozens of garish new buildings; Step 10, insure the buildings are empty because of Steps 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9; Step 11?

Cringe indeed. This is hard on eyes and ears…..
No point in rewatching to possibly clarify.

Coop,
I just fainted, just reading the name of ***CRUISE*** here.
Can I please get scooped up for an assist?

Excellent point John Doe. It is so awkward to have someone 40 years your junior doing this also. Wrong indications on so many levels. I’ve actually said a few times that I wasn’t willing to do something because I was a grown up and could think for myself. That got me declared of course. 🙂

John Doe – very true on the infantilization of public. Something I couldn’t stand when I was in the church. I always hated the way I was treated, as though I had no idea how to conduct myself, handle my personal affairs, or my money for that matter.

Again, these “some decent people” on the list, really aren’t decent as they need to keep lying, to get people in, keep taking their money with empty promises, enforcing scientology laws of disconnecting, abusing, and breaking the hearts, minds, and checkbooks of the ignorant, but well intended public. Policies that were created by a lunatic, misogynist, drug addicted, money grubbing criminal and liar and plagiarist named L.Ron Hubbard.

“They are fiancially screwed and flinch every time they see a reg. They are ethically warped and flinch every time they see an ethics officer.”

There are no pistols in California? Not even any baseball bats? Doesn’t anybody at an OPrg even have a pack of matches? Never seen such passivity.

” If every single one of those people were word clearing, auditing or helping in some real way…”

Why, then you would get the same number of psychotic breakdowns, and descent into unreality that Scientology has always engendered. They can’t let anybody in the Orgs! Say, I know, let’s take a delegation of science reporters and technical writers through the Super-Power building!!!!
Don’t you get it? The more people exposed to Sci, the quicker it folds. They don’t want anybody in those orgs.

“Let’s face facts. DM has enough money to pay the utilities and property taxes for every ortg in the world for decades to come. I heard that was already being done in one ideal org.”

He is loaning them money. Loaning! After all, the money has got to do something besides be his private legal fund.
