					<description><![CDATA[Hubbard&#039;s claims of Dianetics/Scientology activities being some earth grand historical importance requires proof.

The &quot;OT levels&quot; practices of &quot;upper&quot; Scientology includes the five exorcism/soul-freeing OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 &quot;levels.&quot;

The  Hubbard &quot;advanced&quot; Scientology exorcism levels have not proven to be grand human historically important.  

Hubbard&#039;s grand claims simply don&#039;t and will never hold true.  

All of the Hubbard Dianetics/Scientology pseudo-therapeutic/exorcism-soul-freeing activities just simply don&#039;t measure up to Hubbard&#039;s grand claims.

Scientology cannot be sold, and Scientology staffs are left holding Hubbard&#039;s false claims&#039; &quot;bag&quot; of quackery.  

Most tragic is Hubbard&#039;s language and regulations combine to trap Scientologists in a losing situation, every new generation drawn into holding the positions in the Hubbard multi echeloned cult bureaucracy.

					<description><![CDATA[We were told that for our org, as in any other org, a non-e campaign gets done. Doesn&#039;t amount the much,  if I recall. Didn&#039;t dent any stats.

					<description><![CDATA[Mike, a couple of things. Firstly, I don&#039;t recall New Era doing any promotion for orgs in any way. It&#039;s Just PR. At most, they might advertise a book &quot;in favor of the local org&quot;, but it will be in mainstream bookstores and won&#039;t say anything or direct people to the org. They Always do that.

Secondly, I&#039;m not entirely clear anymore on New Era&#039;s financial planning and whether these items (excluding royalties, which if I&#039;m not mistaken were around 10%) are treated separately and kept in reserve or if they end up like everything else from sales in the weekly pool. If that&#039;s the case, even with a total sale of €250,000, there wouldn&#039;t be much left available. After subtracting mgmt fees, staff wages(30%) various reserve accounts, weekly expenses, mandatory set asides, etc., what&#039;s left for &quot;promotion&quot; or &quot;campaigns&quot; are peanuts.]]></description>
