In reply to Cindy. They figure, not totally incorrectly, that you will get plenty of rest between lives. I don't know about that.

In reply to Carol.

“you are just a small cog” – not a technical term at all – just the classic “Small COG in a Big wheel” here is the working definition from dictionary.com:
Also, “cog in the machine”. One who holds a minor but necessary post in a large organization, as in Frank knew he was just a cog in the wheel of this giant corporation. This term alludes to the role of the mechanical cog, one of the teeth on a wheel or gear that, by engaging other teeth, transmits or receives motion. Used figuratively since about 1930, it sometimes is put as small cog in a large wheel, emphasizing a person’s lack of importance.

They promised that I would finish high school and travel the world – this was ASHO in 76 – and all the usual promises of studying, pay and time off. I’m sure they pressured my mother as well. I don’t think much has changed

In reply to thegman77. I made the mistake of telling an the Security Clearance I/C OSA WUS that my friends were still on the Freewinds to which she replied "Ex SO members do not have friends". I was in good standing at the time. From this you could say that when I was on good standing I had no friends but now that I am declared I have many friends.

In reply to Old Surfer Dude. I think the drug you used was actually FLDS. We quit doing the polygamy shit in 1890.

In reply to Mat Pesch. What a story, Matt Pesch! Kudos to that Annie Oakley sibling of yours! Being a city dweller I'm generally no gun fan but, OMG, what better reason to have a loaded legal firearm to hand than to be able to threaten to blow off the heads of some crazed Scientology SO recruiters, tapping on your windows in the middle of the night, coming for your kid. VERY well done!

In reply to Mike Rinder. Thanks for this info Mike. So they divide it up into two separate agreements or contracts. Big deal. The point is that if they are scared to talk of the abuse when they leave, it makes it hard to have the IRS pull their church status. It makes it hard to get the word out on the human trafficking abuses etc. I wish they knew that the non-disclosure thing is basically toothless, as proven by Debbie Cook in court.
