They removed it because they’ve made a new dictionary, the same way they’ve removed the tech volumes after GAT 2 because they’ve rewritten it all and don’t want people to know what they’ve changed.
And they can used the new material to trap them just as tightly.

Grammar and syntax and errors, oh my. Whine alert: I hate to edit as I go along and am terrible at it. Much prefer getting it all out at once and then editing…Mike…edit button….waaaaaaa 🙂 But if its not feasible I’ll deal with it. I’ll live with this burden, Mike. I’ll carry this cross 🙂

I hear you, Richard. Life must have been a beautiful song without these pests in the orgs, upsetting the staff and generally everything and everybody.

I recall a young girl, a Cl V staff member who at that time was 14 or 15 years old, who was a part time course supervisor evenings and weekends. She attended high school Monday thru Friday and she was my course supervisor evenings and weekends. She had told me she was planning on joining the Sea Org when she turned 18.

I didn’t get along with this girl. She hadn’t jointed the SO yet but she had that particular Sea Org “personality” that I loathed. Smug, know it all – you get the idea. So I didn’t like her, and her Regular Army, drill sarge manner and habits. The way she mustered us, making us do Chinese School. Did n’t like her at all and clashed with her a number of times back in those days. it wasn’t what she was telling me to do, it was the WAY she was telling me…you get the idea.

But while I didn’t like her, I admired her.

She was just a kid, going to high school Monday thru Friday, full time, and then working Monday thru Friday evenings 7PM -10PM and ALL day Saturday ane All day Sunday! Running a Foundation Academy Course room which back then had about 25 or so students. Plus she had a commute to and from the org. No days off. This was no small thing for someone of any age, and she was 14. Yes, I respected and admired her and tried to keep my sarcastic temper in check in reaction to her manner – not always successfully, but I tried. I got written up a LOT in her course-room. I’ll call her “Rachel” for this story but that’s not her name.

Ok with that background info here’s what I want to tell you;

Once when I was somewhat early and on my way into the courseroom – it was a Friday evening, and I was walking past the Course Supervisor’s office to do get to the courseroom. The door was halfway open. Rachel was in there, standing in front of a very tall guy in full Sea Org uniform. Rachel was very short and this huge guy towered over her. I could see her full face but his back was to the door. She was getting SCREAMED at, hollered at, by him. I don’t recall what his words were but the gist was that she was completely, utterly wrong about SOMETHING and a disgrace to LRH and Scientology. She was stammering something to him and he wouldn’t let her finish, kept interrupting her with more screaming and hollering…there was something he wanted her to do and she was trying to explain why she couldn’t do it…I was horrified. I was shocked.

I was also furious.

This girl, this 14 year old, working the hours that she worked, and getting treated this way!

I was so furious that I was about to charge in there and tell him to shut up and leave her alone and even stand between them if necessary. He was also much taller and heavier than I was but this was Just pure instinct, and I was about to act on it – this was a CHILD after all – when the door slammed in my face. I must have made a noise because the SO guy whipped around and slammed the door with one fluid movement.

I stood there for a bit, and then walked into the course room, left my stuff and went back out for a soda.

Twenty minutes later Rachel mustered us for course and I could see no evidence on her face or in her manner that she had just been severely face-ripped by someone who was obviously a senior officer in Scientology.

I didn’t know at the time that such incidences were common. I’d never observed CL V staff getting abused like this before.

Seeing her humble and stammering in front of this towering bully, seeing her head down before him made me furious, and still makes me furious!

It was so wrong. Yes, she was a pain in the ass but she had a lot of spunk and confront and she was a hard worker.

No one deserved to be treated that way, no matter what mistake they’d made, particularly a 14 year old girl who, between one thing and another was working 80 hours a week, 7 days a week!

From then on I made a concerted effort to get along with her. Her manner to me did not change. She was still smug and know it all. She was still always right. She hadn’t seen me there. I was glad that she had not been humiliated in front of me, in front of one of her students.

But I had seen her. That changed me toward her.
I stopped “backflashing” and answering her back. We didn’t tangle again after that.

Yis, Cindy, regging them unmercifully to join and re-sign staff and to join the SO, flattering them falsely and them blatantly to puff up the tenuous self confidence of young ones whose lack of education and training afford them very little chance of being adults with successful, productive lives, instilling them false sense of high self esteem based on a false premise, this is what the cult does to perfection, and unfortunately the cult parents have been unwittingly and with the best of intentions set their kids up for this particular type of victimhood.

Lee opined:
“It’s ironic that Elisabeth Moss is in Handmaid’s Tale and Tom Cruise was in the movie The Firm yet neither one of them can wake up to the fact they’re in a cult!”

They get too many perqs to inspect the source TOO honestly. “Never look a gift horse in the mouth.”, so to speak.

Kat ventured:
I personally will make sure that never happens in my lifetime!! I guess they’ll have to delete me or put me in one of their “reprogramming” camps…wait, didn’t I just describe Nazi Germany???”

I’d say that sounds more like the Soviet “Yunion”, specifically during the Stalin years.Could be the Kim regimes in N. Korea, too. Autocrats can’t help thinking alike in their attempts to control the peons.
