OSD:, they CAN’T understand logic As soon as REASONing is suggested, they A=A it and say “Can’t be reasonable”!

And the logic they used was: “Maximizing profit” = Steal ALL the money we can get our hands on, even if it kills the goose laying such wonderful eggs.

In reply to Itzhak Rabban. Itzhak Rabban: Something much like that was briefly attempted. Was called the Indies. Trouble with them was that they depended on escaping scnists. With no new members to speak of in corporate scn (RCS) any more, the RCS doubled down on retention. cutting off the indies sole source of new members and money

When I left the SO in ’80, I thought management had gone insane.
Now, I see that the insanity and shortsightedness skyrocketed in ’82, when DM dismantled the mission systems which had been doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing, and doing it better than the orgs, by keeping their eyes on the long-term results and re-investing profits in staff and the missions to improve their ability to deliver, not squirrelling away all the cash in foreign banks and forcing their staffs to “moonlight” to be able to just barely survive being staff. Now, there are no missions, only smallish orgs run DM’s way. No org’s staff can survive without being independently wealthy or having a working spouse. Scratch that: any money they have access to is hoovered out of their pockets, and when they get too weak or sick to work, they’re booted into the street with no resources and no prospects, likely Declared SP as well, since they must have done SOMEthing AWFUL to pull ALL that misfortune in.

Great job done! Davey boy. You live better than a king while the system you conquered decays around you. Better start planning ahead so you can
maintain your lifestyle after the chickens come home to roost and you face the music all alone.

In other words, “Run, Davey, RUN.”

In reply to Aquamarine. I think that's not human. It reads like some of the bots I've run into on other sites. Sort of makes sense, but not quite. No punctuation to speak of.

In reply to Cindy. Cyndi, I'm not certain of the details. Come to think of it, I wonder if it might have been something deliberately played down. His father lived to be pretty old, at least one out of the three....

In reply to PeaceMaker. Yes, Peace Maker, to say that Rick was strange is an understatement. What did he die of? Still, it is sad that an entire family of Clears and OT's and staff members are dead before their time. I think being on staff or SO takes years off your life.

In reply to James Rosso.

James, then went to another church (same religion) outside their own parish and had their son Baptized…..that church didn’t ask for any financial information…… The first church was only interested in $$$, not in welcoming an innocent newborn baby into their religious community….it was an eye opener.

The SMI.org missions website is still as dead as a doornail. They were replaced with a redirect to a cookie cutter Sci-site years ago. Their last update was years before that, an article about the ‘rollicking’ welcome the city of York had bestowed on a new mission in 2007. That seems to have vanished in the mists as well.

In reply to Terra Cognita. Terra, Missions (until at LEAST until 1990) were allowed to deliver auditing up through the Grades and NED. When did that change?
