With a rasp file.

Anna, the draw “back then” was the same as it is now. Promise of super powers and immortality. Only “back then” you had a country full of drug addled Boomers who were super gullible. Even then only a TINY % fell for the scam. But that was enough to fuel it until now. That generation is dying out and so is the scam. Prior to DM taking over the church the criminal insanity of Hubtard was mostly kept from public view. After he died his and DMs insane policy was unleashed on all levels.

How was it “in the old days?” I am sincere in my request to know this. I am trying to understand what the draw was back then, what this institution was intended to be, and what brought so many souls in the beginning, pre-Miscavige. I understand if you’re exhausted from explaining this to others, so please, point me to some resources. Your help is most appreciated.

Thank you for your answer!

Miscavige is very intelligent.
Miscavige knows the intricate workings of Scientology management.
Miscavige has complete authoritarian control over Scientology management.
Miscavige is aware that the current course of management is driving Scientology toward systemic failure, yet has not changed course.

Therefore, Miscavige wants Scientology to suffer a systemic failure.

My theory: Miscavige is bored with the whole game (maybe?).

Very sorry to hear about that, man.

Thank you for sharing this …my father was one of the most dedicated .

Thanks, I remember good old John Sexsmith. He was very well liked by all, sexy too! Rumors went around as you stated, then he disappeared, but was not forgotten. Would love for him to be public.

And The BC Supervisors stats were so high and the course room so full that they didn’t need to worry about the 15 minutes “wasted” spent doing the roll call. Can’t see that happening these days (apart from the er, fact, that there are no students anyway). From a course room that takes 15 minutes to read the roll call to an empty one – yet no one sees this as an outpoint. One supposes the attrition has been somewhat gradual but which is still no excuse from failing to see the elephant in this particular room.
