BELIEVE ME IT TOUGH TO DO OTTRO WHEN YOU ARE DYING OF AIDS (See other posts of mine). The Chief Officer Bill Bragg was my twin and we were finally getting close to finishing the final video pass and the SSO was pushing for the completion. FINE. When we failed to get the TR4 good enough on Wednesday night we were asked to come in Thursday morning and we did. After more drilling Thursday morning I felt it was still not quite there.I told the SSO we needed more work on it and went to lunch. The next day I received a cram from the Snr C/S for outnesses in the video. THE SSO HAD SENT TO THE SNR CS AS A PASSING VIDEO TO TRY TO GET THE COMPLETION BEFORE 2. I was pissed. Not only was she trying to con the Snr C/S into passing it, had she succeded she would have tried to get me to attest to the course on the meter after I had already told her that it was not a product. I wrote a scathing report on the SSO . She was RPFed a few months later.

Hi Orwell, Good to meet you.You have a spot-on view of Ron and his tricks,traps and trademark tech which he used however he wanted too.The minute I joined SO in 74 I could sense kiddies were not particularly favored.I did not have any but the SO kids then at Asho D&F were last on the list of priorities.Sad all that.xo

Please let me out of the closet.
Can’t breathe in this lousy box…
and forgive me,
its just the way i was brought up, is this by chance a confessional? oh, good.
I used to be a scn-gist, and
Hadson Took is a lie.
I never had kids. But, true enough, it is, and they made me think that jumping out of here was suicide!

All kids are like my grandsons now. Daughters.
Mine. To save me they are, and so I must save them. Speak!
I am… mr. doom but you can call me Orwell.

“NO WAY OUT”
-per LRH, (thank you Mephisto)
“My truth or doom will beset you.”
(same example)

Gasp. What king of leaders is this? oh, sorry, it’s just Old Man Hubbard, that sly dog.

And [few] people wonder why I get so creeped out over “tech”, right?
Can you imagine teaching kids this stuff? No, but then Hubbard didn’t much care for kids,
off his short list of priorities.

Let’s hope the man or woman broken free quickly finds it here,
and feels welcome. Yes.
“The doubting scientologist is a valuable person.”

So true, sir bug.

For the sake of happy I would hang with you anytime, Mephisto.

“There’s no short stop on the road to truth. That is the only track that you have to go all the way on. Once you have put your feet upon that road, you have to walk to its end. Otherwise, all manners of difficulties and upsets will beset you.”

Well, Ron, I would say that truth is important, but not necessarily your brand.

Of course, there was that threat of being declared even lower than Non-Existence ALWAYS hanging over our heads. [ Liability. Treason. Enemy. ] Help me, Im falling and can’t get up, oh my. It strikes me just now, how it starts with positive motivation (“You can save the planet!), then quickly falls to negative, punishment-oriented motivation, waging even your Eternity to back the impending doom. Hubbard never would let you forget, that there is nothing really worse than a failed scn-gist. Thinking about that was part of the daily regimen.

And, you know, it was for nothing (except to keep the hypnotic policy drilled into my head, me hypnotized) , as, to begin with – my post was just fine! A blurb or whatever gets pointed out and suddenly there I am, in Danger for the third forsaken time. How many times… must a man turn his head…?

The Orwellian irony is that the formulas are pretty well thought out, as a defined sequence to improve the condition of existence. Trouble is, for me? is that I still get creeped out just saying a thing like that.

Damn, and I thought they were the authorities on the mind. ?
