Thanks Tony.  COming fromy ou, I take it as high praise!

Phil, I hear you and what a predicament (understatement), wanting LRH and getting the
reverse.

I watched Sweeney’s Panorama program. It is pretty gloomy and pitiful the conditions these people find themselves in. However most of these poor souls have very little choice on the matter, as they were born into that nightmare, and for most it is the only life they know. Also the penalty for attempting to break away from the North Korean regime is DEATH.

What is so shocking to me is that Scientologists in general and Sea Orgs members in particular, DO have a choice, they live in a free world, all they have to do is LOOK, THINK and WALK THE FUCK AWAY FROM THEIR COLLECTIVE NIGHTMARE!

Scientologists are by far more brain washed than North Koreans. This is truly terrifying.

Funny, I haven't used a phone like a normal person is over two decades 🙂

Gretchen, My wife and I used to get endless phone calls. When we started commenting on these blogs the calls pretty much stopped. The few times we have received calls my wife has made it a point to inform the person about what's actually going on in the church. She would  really go into detail. Today we get no calls from the Co$. It's great to be able to answer my home phone again.

Keep communicating here. It must drive DM crazy (or should that be crazier?).

I tried that when I returned to SFOf in '81. We were indoctrinated that LRH was off anagement lines and off SO 1 line as well. I planned to expand my org and deliver like hell until it was all over (I wasn't too impressed with Franks, Gleason, or the folks directly running the FEBC at the time, Horwich, Hurwitz).

My plan worked really well for a very short while, but I had no idea at all what the game had been turned into.

No one cared if stats were up baseed on actual production, although you'd be nagged to have upstats delivery was not the point.

When I first went back the Org Manager gave me all the space in the world to create and run my org. It was hands off the FEBCs. Couple months later CMO was running things, may they burn in hell for eternity, along with their dwarf god Miscavige.

It is my viewpoint that CMO was/is a suppressive group. It has been of no benefit whatsoever to Scientology and I mean both befor and after the appearance of RTC and Miscavige.

Hmm…didn't Dave come out of CMO?

Gayle, you said something interesting about the comm lines you had established to others so that you did know the scene at other orgs. I remember going to the Sr C/S conferences they used to have at Flag, starting with the first one they ever had, and one of the things I loved about it was hooking up those international C/S comm lines and finding out that we all had the same scene at every org!!  Our org was NOT the only one missing something or not expanding. Slowly but surely, those conferences also fell off the horizon and this is probably part of why that happened…that, and the fact that the Sr C/S Int. was sent to the Hole.

Get a hat write up on "How to Spin Off from the Co$" from the folks in Israel, then drop it off at local orgs – together with the real stats in an uptrend. Might also include photos of some Idle Morgues? "A picture is worth …." If you're shy, send it with a free pizza. Help feed your local Scn drive (save 50% on your taxes). On second thought, don't do it. None of my ideas ever work out.
