Wonder how many of the total 65,000 “Clears” have routed out, blown, disconnected and otherwise left. Is it accepted dogma that blown ‘clears’ are no longer clear?

Mike wynski,
Not an employee but someone who lives in their own house ?

Cathy, that depends on what the definition of “in” is. Seriously.

Can you still be in and not do courses ?

Interesting – some familiar names on that list: Reppen, Feninger, Ruth Minshull (oldies will remember her books – the only ones that made any sense out of the Fatman’s blatherings and which of course were subsequently banned), and of course Kingsley Wimbush…

Most interesting was a Clear No. 339 SNOOKY WEISS… Hmmm… a Snooky from New Jersey, LOL

I wonder where they all are now…

It truly gives the old koan “if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him” fresh meaning.

I remember that years ago and in some other forum, there was a discussion about this. If I recall correctly, some old-time insiders said that orgs had been issued blocks of clear numbers but did not necessarily use all of them, and that there may have been some numbers used twice as well. So it’s hard to know just how much clear numbers track clears made. And it would not be surprising if the system has been left with some inaccuracies or is even being gamed, to make things look better than they are.

Putting aside the question of whether or not new clear numbers are being used (perhaps just on the internal ledgers) when people re-do “clear,” I still don’t think that the number of clears being made is quite the same measure of Scientology’s activities as it was with the ones that used to be made. Early on, clears made were often people fairly new to Dianetics and Scientology, who were on a trajectory to continue on further. How many of the clears being made in recent years are long-time members and staff who had been stuck without much progress or processing for a long time, and who are only finally getting even that far, perhaps as a result of the efforts being made to keep something going on in the empty orgs?

This site is good for early clears: http://scientology.wikia.com/wiki/Clears_List Mary Sue Hubbard was clear #208.

“It seems a shame to waste these 66/7 years of hard work by so many hard working people that have put their life on the line for this purpose of improving the world that we all live in.”

I believe it would be a waste to forget what Mike and Leah and many others are trying to achieve.
