Funny story…..ElRonn lived on the estate of a nutty amateur “scientist/philosopher” back in the 1940s named Parsons. This nut actually helped develop rocket engines. He was the Chief Nut of a Satanist cult called O.T.O, for which he supplied his estate in California (I think it was
Pasadena) as its HQ. So ElRonn moved in and “explored the human consciousness”, while managing to steal away Parson’s mistress – who was one of a bevy of beauties camping out at the estate! Then they conned Parsons out of $20K for some scheme to buy yachts in Florida, then sell them in California! ElRonn ended up marrying her – Sara. Like they used to say on The Sopranos…..DIS f**kin guy!

Yep, then there’s that sweet moment of dawning revelation that, “OMG, it IS all about the money with these assholes!”

Cindy, during what time period did you have the experiences that you’ve described?

I got out of the cult in the late 70’s before things got infinitely worse, so I feel fortunate to have gotten out before then and sorry for the trauma that so many others suffered who stayed in.

Awesome, Valerie! I can only imagine the names they called you for being “PTS to the middle class”… LMAO 😉

Yea Valerie!!! An acquaintance of mine was an illegal pc because of having worked at a psych institute before Scn. She could train but never get OT Levels. She tried many times. But always it was “No.”

Then she inherited a boat load of money. The church was on that like white on rice telling her she was now eligible and it had been an arbitrary, and buy your whole Bridge up to OT VII. She did. And then she died of cancer not long after getting onto OT VII. Her husband was a well known Scn Chiropractor in the LA area. He had her do only the medical stuff of chemo and radiation when she wanted to also try other things. But she couldn’t becuase she was on OT VII and the church forbade her to do anything except the norm of chemo and radiation. He boasted to a friend of mine about how wonderful it was having Kaiser insurance because, “they paid for everything.” So here is a Chiro who touts alternative healing, and he is happy with Kaiser, the traditional cancer handling stuff and all he can say is he liked it because it was cheap. He lost his wife to cancer. So I wouldn’t say it was a success story for Kaiser. I thought he would be doing all sorts of alternate healing things for his wife to save her, but he didn’t. Anyway, funny how she was illegal for decades and then once she got money, all was forgiven and she was regged for her entire bridge.

“but when management sides with its abusive employees against its own customers then you know for sure that it’s time to RUN, not walk, out of there and never look back!” That is so true, Harpoona. I wrote KR’s on stuff like this and it never got handled because it was coming from the top. Davie was putting pressure on them and so the entire SO became out exchange and criminal. You are right that as time went on there were fewer and fewer marks to reg, so the IAS and others circled Flag like buzzards around a dying carcass. Everyone wanted their pound of flesh even if they had to literally pound it out of you. The only thing my written KR’s ever got me was to have me called into Ethics to handle me on daring to point up and outpoint or out KSW thing up. Even though the KR bulletin says to not be afraid to write up your boss or senior, the SO felt that they should never be questioned and never be written up and that if anyone did that, then investigate the writer of the KR and never investigate the SO member(s).

Yes, you said it, Spike and Old Surfer Dude. Things changed for the worst or should I say “for the worserer” when Davie took over.
