In reply to jim.

YOU HAD A DEVIATED PERSON LIKE TOM CRUISE CAMPED OUT IN YOUR SHOWER WITH A VIDEO CAMERA, WOULD YOU BE ANXIOUS TO SHOWER ?
THEY STILL LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING… THE ONLY ONES THAT SMELL BAD ARE TOM CRUISE AND HIS EMPLOYEES.

In reply to Sue.

It may not make sense from a normal perspective, but cults or high control groups typically impose various sorts of deprivation on members and workers, as part of the mechanisms of indoctrination and control. It’s a gradual process in which followers slowly get accustomed to various sorts of sacrifice and subjugation – including accepting that their leaders are somehow worthy of a much better lifestyle (I’ve seen accounts of scientologists assuming that DM is a sort of superman working tirelessly, just as they idolized Hubbard). There are a number of good books, as well as articles, about the processes and mechanisms at work, such as those by Steve Hassan, who also has a website.

It occurs to me, this highlights another distinction that might be made between cults and legitimate groups – abusive groups typically treat the majority of their workers badly, while legitimate religions and traditions generally treat them with respect and dignity, and have only a small minority choosing to live lives of renunciation and deprivation (such as monks and nuns).

In reply to Sue. The body is just an impediment for the thetan. I think that's what they say.

I’ve never been in – so maybe I’m missing something here – but who actually thinks this is ok? The simple necessities of life – bathing & brushing your teeth!!! Clean clothes!!
How does someone get up every single morning and think – it’s ok for me to be unhygienic? I just can’t shake the thought of dirty underwear day after day.
I just don’t get it! Don’t they walk around wondering why they have to live that way – but DM can live in the ultimate luxury? Don’t they wonder what he is sacrificing for the “good” of the ‘church’?

In reply to rogerlarsson2012. It wasn¨t a KR,,,it was an O/W. Sorry. Exteriorized thetans stealing the bank from other thetans are out-ethics, they don't bring in money, they only bring in bank and it's bad to $cientology. The day exteriorized exteriorize out of money they are out-ethics and must do O/Ws.

It reminds me of the crusade of religious freedom in Portland at the eighties. I wrote a KR inwhere I told the staff in my org in Gothenburg that I had stolen the bank from the thetans in Portland while I was sleeping in my bed. They all caved in,,,,some kind of blow releasing me from all the banks in Portland.

In reply to Light in My John Lobb’s.

This reminded me of a Sea Org member who
spilled some food on his tie and spit on the
stain while telling me that the enzymes will
eliminate the spot.
No money for another tie nor getting it pro
cleaned or buying detergent. Plus of course
no time to wash and press the clothing after
20 hours on post and 4 hours of restless
rest.
Most animals has a much better life! DAVE!!!
