You’ve got a potent stab.

Good point. Some of the richest OTs are the most “frugal” when it comes to helping other scientologists get up the bridge. About 20 years I knew a woman who wrote a CSW to Craig Jenson (CEO of Executive Software) to loan her $20,000 to start the OT levels. She had the income lined up based on future revenue that was expected to come in (the sales were already closed). However, Mr. Jensen denied the CSW on the basis that “it wasn’t his policy to loan scientologists money.” FWIW, I had also heard from more than one scietnologist that Executive Software paid below market salaries and employees didn’t have stock options, which is unusual for a software company.I was told that scientologists should just be happy to work at an “on policy” scientology company, and that it was more important to push an Opinion Leader like Craig Jensen up in status, than it was to make the individual employees wealthy.

Regraded Being, If I didn’t know better I would think you’re Howard Becker with a paper bag over his head. You truly understand what it takes to go OT.

Hi Cindy,A very eloquent & sincere post.I too wish those that cannot see out,but I cannot force them to do so.They must find the will to pull the blindfolds off their eyes,minds,& siprits.Thank you. Ann B.

Well I have bared my belly to you and shown you how stupid and naïve and KA drinking I was to have lent it to him. I didn’t find out till later that that was how he planned to pay the money back. He was crazy and so was I. But I am not that way anymore, thank goodness. So if I could finally see the light, maybe some of those other KA drinkers will see the light and get out too. But sometimes I think all the ones that were able to see are already out and the ones left are the doomed beyond doom who cannot and will not see and will go down with the ship.

Cindy, just when I think I’ve read everything, this absurd tale of paying someone back with money you’d stolen in a “last lifetime” and could now “recover” with auditing comes along. Now, that’s magical thinking.

Yep I was naïve and swililng the Kool aide back then. But no more! I finally woke up and go out.
