Exactly! Well said, BP.

I remember when Scientology was about freedom. When I volunteered it was because I really wanted to. Now, there’s another agenda. Too bad we can’t impeach DM. A leader is someone others want to follow, not someone threatening too gruesomes if they don’t toe the line. Sad state of affairs.

They put this twist on it: “Our help is acceptable to us, your help is ours.”

Scn definition of ‘volunteer’:
You volunteer at the beginning. Once you have volunteered you have basically decided to ‘do something about it’. this means you have taken responsibility.

The corollary is that you cannot then un-volunteer yourself because that would be shirking. If it isn’t as you expected it to be well….you should have looked into it and thought about it more carefully. the fact remains that you made a decision and you cannot renege on that.

“Place independence above resolute slavery” (?)

Corollary to that is, Scientology is being run be those who are the least knowledgeable on the subject: The Sea Org.

Hi Axiom. This is precisely why it is becoming more and more difficult (and dangerous) for the Church to employ experienced Scientologists. Anyone with half a brain and being a social personality won’t last long – as is evidently happening in Joburg org right now. I have just heard of 3 people (experienced Scientologists) that have left staff, and one other about to – she cannot wait for the day her contract is up……

Joburg org long ago cottoned onto the idea of recruiting completely green non-SCN’s – that way, they can “mould” these guys into the new regime – without them being able to compare how things should be.

This is one of the reasons I no longer have any sympathy or time for experienced Scientologists “hanging in there” and willing to go down with the ship. They are now all so utterly PTS they can’t see the wood for the trees or have taken on the colours of the SP regime they are so avidly supporting.

Correct Statpush. All points you listed.

Actually, it’s Bonzai.
