Registrars are not about selling they are about crushing your will to resist, if they were trying to sell me something I didn&#039;t believe in I would swiftly walk away - I put the phone down on sales people all the time - trouble is whilst I hated being &#039;regged&#039; I felt they were trying to serve a noble purpose so it then became an exercise in &quot;what could I minimally give in order to get out of the room and get home&quot;. What I didn&#039;t realize till too late is that when you have donated you immediately become a target. A friend of mine never gave more than a few $ simply because he gave them hell every time they tried to regge him, after a while he was pushed way down the list of possible targets. Not me, I got all the &quot;big being&quot; shit and never could work out why! Regges will make you the most amazing promises, one actually said they would help me get an extra job to cover the new monthly outgoings on a loan they were pushing me to take, once they have your money they could not care less, all promises are swiftly forgotten. 
After I left had the central org&#039;s phone number blocked on my cell and landline but before this it felt really good finally telling them to get lost when they came after me for donations

You asked in one of your earlier posts: &quot;Do Scientologists really actually speak in that tone and manner?&quot; Absolutely - I saw one Exec Director reduce a staff member to tears then shout at her for &quot;case on post&quot;. I was reduced to tears one time by an evil Sea Org woman who was demanding repeatedly I do something I really didn&#039;t want to do. Stupid me, this all happened years ago yet I still stuck with scn for many years afterward.]]></description>

Has everybody been getting hit with an unusual barrage of scn. commercials on YouTube recently? ...
I punched in something totally disrelated, Louis CK, and there is this slick, new, commercial for Scientology offering me ANSWERS.
...
 Just about made me sick. Then it happened again, next day, which was yesterday.
But, you know, no matter...
The Going Clear movie, Leah&#039;s book, Tony Ortega&#039;s book, this blog, all the other books and blogs... there is no way in heaven or hell these phony commercials, no matter how slick, are going to reach even ONE PERCENT, (maybe two?) of the grand total of viewers getting the truth from the ANTI-scientology side. Game over.
 And the TV seems to be lit up with Leah&#039;s book, making even more of a splash than the movie, or maybe the movie got the ball rolling, huh? This is just wonderful.
 I remember a day (not long ago) that I felt the need to keep quiet
(thanks to brainwashing) about my past as a scn-gist. 
What a release, letting that go... 
What a revelation.

Thanks TWD.....I see what you meant.  
I&#039;ve always.been curious as to why the Tiny Terror seems to go out of his way to alienate dedicated staff.  It&#039;s almost as if he can&#039;t help himself. It&#039;s either complete paranoia or he needs to see how far he can test loyalty.]]></description>
