George, Linear13, and Jere Lull: Comprehending everything stated here. I have wondered if financial institutions and credit card issuers could be a logical and substantial part of some “cord ripping [out of the wall]” here.

Better out of the bubble now, I can see how the steady access to apparently “easy money” of credit cards has been fueling this street drug [easy cash] habit!

To Duped-Lie-Cated: What a set of behaviors you depict here. I agree on the pressure tactics. The reason they get used and replicated, they have worked on too many of us. It’s a meatgrinder. Gosh, so sad and so wasteful of very good people, signing on because they are genuinely looking for help and to improve—be a better person in this world. You really see the “Stat Push” personality from the individuals in this world who get true, meaningful, and lasting products.

Happy to have inspired you, my friend Peridot 🙂 One of my fave precious stones btw – that pale green color. Would be nice to meet you one day 🙂

Hi Balletlady,
Yep, they were a pack of unholy hounds, alright, those Squirrel Busters. And, yes, for sure, Arthur Conan Doyle could have written a hell of a terrific Sherlock drawing on true data from this cult! My God, what a wealth of material, you know? Stuff that Hollywood writers are paid large sums to INVENT. Except as re the cult, its all true.

Some days I weep because Mike insists this blog must remain non-political. Today would be such a great day to post political poetry.

But I promised Mike never again to post anything political and so I will just go off and cry some more.

My friend Aquamarine (you inspired my name, Peridot, which is a gemstone associated with compassion) – We have this in common, lobbying hard to get onto the Data Series course, doing the course and loving it. Magnifique! Yes, it helped me greatly also to SPOT what is going on. Beautiful.

The Squirrel Busters….similar perhaps to Sherlock Holmes “Hell Hound”….you know the Baskerville one! Hot on the trail of anyone who speaks ill of COS…..

The Orgs pressure the public to rack of CC debt, and other field Scios can make a lot of money off this by running a debt consolidation company.

There used to be several public Scios running these small pop up companies. I knew some people who did this, and part of the deal was that the person would sign over the authority for the company to negotiate with the CC company on his behalf. The goal was to get the CC debt knocked down. The company got a percentage of the savings.

They made a killing. Paid for tons of Flag service. As far as I know, that one company is still up and going, run by the same people.

Such a racket.

God, I hope so, jere. I personally know someone who was credit card scammed by the cult. Big time. This person is in a very serious financial situation now with credit utterly wrecked and no way of paying back what was charged. Long story I can’t share here. But I hope what you suggest comes to pass.

LOL! I’m a huge Sherlock fan. Reading my way thru all of them. Love all really good detective fiction.

And my goodness, the Elementary Data Series Evaluator Course – be still my heart. I did that course too. I LOVED that course! And I did very well in it. I fought to do it. I really wanted to do that course and my org staff wanted me to do something else but I persisted and they delivered it to me.

And I was helped immensely by it. in a few keys ways. Last but not least, (and wholly unintentionally on my part because at the time I had NO intentions of EVER leaving Scientology) – last but not least, that course gave me the tools to observe and afforded me the ability to perceive that I was supporting and had long been supporting what was a toxic organization. Completing that course enabled me to leave also! So… Thank you LRH. And David Miscavige, THANK YOU, SIR 🙂
