What a great analogy Anon. This has happened now in large numbers at least twice – the early 80s when the first mass exodus occurred and so many auditors never touche a meter again while some of the die-hards kept going and again with the advent of GAT when the auditors around the world had by demand from the top had their certs suspended until doing the “new GAT”. I’m certain that this will result in another new wave of exiting auditors as well as those staff and public who see it for what it is and call bullshit on it and leave.

It’s deliberate. When it comes to the time to cut and run, the less still in, the less problems he will have getting away with it.

That time is comming

Hence why five people from every org were sent for training, and fired back. All the bases are covered, and delivery can continue, since everyone is doing objectives or Student Hat all over again.

However, a little-known stat from GAT1 was that 1/4 of the trainees blew, were RPFed or off-post within the first 3 months of returning to their orgs.

On day one: One walked off the plane home and was just never heard from again. Another three routed off staff to handle financial troubles incurred by their months at Flag. Another refused to be the supervisor (and had refused to be a supe the entire training program, no surprise there). Another was two months pregnant when she returned and left due to medical reasons.

In PAC, two word clearers and two supervisors (out of ten trainees) were off-post within the first week of returning. Not sure who Scrifvars pissed off to get sent to the RPF, but at least he was pulled off later.

Just to be clear, the public are not hearing the “have to re-do everything” spiel yet. EU hasn’t gotten the programs yet, nor has ANZO. Talked to friends from both conts after their local events.

So, you have a few fringers showing up just to see what all the fuss is about. Once they start getting the message about their certs being cancelled (as one very knowledgeable friend said) “They will have a very hard time getting people into the org, but I don’t believe they’re having you re-train everything… that’s just nuts!”

Other other thing Miscavige doesn’t get is the value of a hard earned dollar. His assumptions that raising prices will cause expansion is linked to his, very childish, lack of understanding about how hard it is to earn a salary that will allow payment of those prices.

If there is a mutiny caused by members “voting with their feet,” i.e., if people just don’t show up to re-do anything, I don’t think anything will change. The number of members has been dropping for years, and fewer and fewer people are being squeezed for greater and greater amounts of money. Miscavige has lied about this and made up stories about the “greatest expansion ever.” Miscavige will continue to lie until there is only a handful of people left and he is boarding a plane for Uruguay.

I’ve been getting ‘potentially dangerous content’ warnings on these pages recently too if that means anything to anyone. I know better but I suspect it could deter newcomers who don’t.
Great posts as always Mike. There’s just so much these days it’s hard to keep up with, let alone comment on. Much appreciated.

While this may sound idealistic, there simply IS a breaking point. Corner a normally shy wild animal in a corner, it will attack.
It is my hope that those under the radar huddle with their Kool-Aid drinking friends, a few having some spine left will stand up and revolt and carry the torch further, igniting this and that person.
What could DM do? Nothing or very little. He does not have the resources anymore to handle simultaneus fires in different countries. At best he can grab the amassed money and fly to a South American country that does not extradite to the US.
Tic-toc….
