I guess that’s why it would start with: “I am not auditing you” 😉

Peridot,
The whole scien-bollocks scam, from top to bottom, from pillar to post, replicates Dead El Con’s greed, narcissism, Crowleyian evil, and insanity.
May the whole rotten “religion” vanish, sooner than later…and may the world’s biggest being, Fleet Admiral McRavage, be the “Ideal”
cellblock mascot…

Doug,
One hundred grand, eh? Wow…
What a waste…
Hopefully, she left. Expensive lesson…

Mr. Theta LOL. that’s a good name for Tom. Even I felt the incessant pestering to buy services you talked about, and they knew I didn’t have much money.

One of the last times I was there I was talking to a very attractive African American lady who was a veterinarian. She had taken out a $100,000 mortgage on her house to buy her bridge to clear. I’ve thought about her occasionally over the years and hope she wasn’t financially ruined by the cult.

@Mark – Copy what you say above. Precise and real. One time I agreed to “volunteer” to “hold Reception” as a public. The staff of the org as I tried my best to route calls were so snobby and rude. I concluded being part of them would never suit me. The entire experience was confounding. No evidence of “theta” instead a kooky vision of “elite-ness” as you express and judgmental attitudes.

Hey Doug,
Yes, Tom, Mr. Theta, so enthusiastic and friendly, right? A front. Typical scientology robot ” mock up”. Just another cult arsehole, scrounging for ducats.
Being on staff was not about being a part of “the crusade” mentioned in the staff contract, but it WAS about being in a degrading servitude to a horribly toxic money-making scam.
All of the loaded language, the rah rah tone 40 heroics, the boring busy work, the incessant pestering of the same folks on the small mailing list to “buy services”, the useles meetings, the bullshit “training”, the “birthday game” and other stat-chasing cult monkey antics…all amounted to the scurrying of drugged dung beetles, moving mountains of super significant SHIT hither and yon…

Thanks Mark, you too. I happened to think of one incident that looking back is kind of humorous. I’d been waiting around all day to get in session, from the waiting room I could overhear their staff meetings. I forget the lady’s name who is the Ed at the time, but the whole gist of the meeting was how to make more money. I heard her say over and over again money is good. I remember her talking about someone who was just sitting around for 5 minutes when they could have been on the phone instead calling people to pay for more services. And I don’t care for Tom but I have to say he seemed to be full of enthusiasm every time I saw him, but maybe that was just a big act.

Peridot,
That is a brilliant, concise, utterly accurate summation of what was happening in the org I was in when I was working in the HGC(Hubbard Guidance Center) as a DTS(Director of Technical Services-which was a joke, as I was thrown to the wolves by being given a post that had not been held by anyone with any consistency for years, so that department was used to operating without one…and I had no clue about the “technical” ins and outs of the job, which made me a target for non-stop derision and insults).
Lots of fuck-ups. Many of the people in that department were unpleasant, arrogant, gossipy pricks…who would “put in their TR’s” for “the publics” and display the typical scientological “ARC”. The collective sense of disdain for mere “publics”(i.e. dilletantes) and “wogs” was pretty constant and was underscored by a belief that they were quite literally saving the world…And I always felt unworthy compared to these titans of the tech( drunk on the kool-aid)…
Wow, talk about fuckery and delusion and scientological cannabalism…!
It’s was and is an insane, destructive cult that fucks people up and makes them pay for that privilege…And, yes, staff and public both reach a breaking point within this culture of gaslighting and intentional, profit-driven abuse and end up leaving.

Hey, thanks for your response Doug; wishing you much cult-free happiness and fulfillment!✌🏾😉

I didn’t recognize a lot of those names, but regarding the ones I did recognize I fully agree with your comments.

When I was there Steve had a wife that was an auditor. She was actually halfway decent looking, how she ended up with Steve is a mystery to me.
