In reply to Old Surfer Dude.

LOL!

Here’s what I observed when I was in the cult with regard to “class”.

Rich, Uber-Rich, Middle Class, Working Class, Welfare – whatever your socioeconomic group, if you were giving CO$ money, you were fine. The greatest! Terrific!

If, and/or when you were NOT giving Co$ any money, you SUCKED.

When I was in, for a number of years there was a reg at my org who was fond of saying, “Money is trash to a thetan.” Of course, paraphrased, LRH says this, somewhere, and this Reg was fond of quoting that particular LRH datum. It worked on me for a while, shaming me into doing, giving SOMEthing. One day he pulled that line during a reg cycle and this time I didn’t argue and without thinking responded, “Yes, money is trash – except when the org wants it.” Silence 🙂 I never heard that line from him again 🙂

I hated this phrase. I remember my mother using it. It made you feel guilty for wanting anything normal and nice. A car that didn’t break down, a house of your own, nicer clothes. It was frowned upon to spend money on anything other than the bridge. Then I remember hearing someone quote another phrase to justify having nice things: “People judge us by our MEST.” I don’t even know where it came from, but it was the excuse for having nicer stuff as a PR thing. Of course most of the time we couldn’t afford nice things anyway…

In reply to Cindy Temps.

Cindy he was living in that RV on a HUGE estate while his mansion was finished being built a few feet away.

Here is a pic of his “middle class” digs https://www.villagevoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/crestonranch1.jpg

You can see the mansion surrounded by trees in the middle of the pic to the left of the two circles…

In reply to Shereefe. Shereefe, the $ stay with the corporations and those are run by whoever he appoints as corporate officers. Same as every other corporation. Just because it is currently a "religion" doesn't change that...
