In reply to Aquamarine. I have to say. For awhile there I felt my donations were vital to saving the planet. I was nuts, nuts nuts.

In reply to BKmole. "A license to steal." That's what it is, yes.

My first IAS reg cycle was this huge fat person sitting on the edge of a desk looking down at me with bad breath sweaty armpit stains and a look of fury on her face. You WILL pay before you walk out of this office. It felt like KGB or Nazi tactics. Ugh!

The IAS is no different than Al Capone’s crime syndicate, only the means of obtaining the money differs. Capone’s mob used guns, arson and assassinations, the CO$ “Ethics Threats”, “Hard Sell”, “SP Declare Extortion” and absence of “Suppressive Reasonableness”.

In reply to Prof. Aharon Friedman. It certainly is a guilt trip. Though at the time, I didn’t see it as the chilling, kidnapping-like situation it really is.

In reply to Rip Van Winkle. The IAS was the biggest promoter of the dangerous envionment. LRH said it was the SP's who promoted a dangerous environment. Well I guess that makes the IAS an SP cuz that's all they deal in

I remember when the IAS was first invented in the 80’s. No one was buying it then. And even my student auditor (on a coaudit) said once to me, “such and so isn’t like the IAS where they take your money and give you nothing in return…” She would be shot for saying that now. She later got on board with that and pays now just like everyone else. But back then when they tried to get everyone to pay the IAS, it was like the mob demanding money for “protection.” Yes, protection from the mob tearing your business apart. That’s how strong arming and forceful the IAS was in the beginning. Now it is more subtle. Instead of mob strong arm tactics, they just threaten to write up a KR to your ethics officer if you don’t give. And if you’re on OT VII they threaten to take you off the level if you don’t give to the level of $50,000 or more. (Patron status?)
