Just as the question is asked, I pick up this strange intention, literally 2 seconds before the first word of her sentence even began. that’s when this terror of a gut feeling hits me. The kind of feeling you innately know through lifetimes of experience, that there IS something very wrong with this picture but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is. It’s kind of like standing in the entrance of a dark alleyway in the underbelly of the worst part of a city way after midnight, and you know it would probably be best just to walk around it instead. Yet here is this seductive beautiful girl trying to persuade you (successfully) down into the dark ally, telling you that your reactive mind is playing tricks on you, and you’re just making up the guy that’s at the bottom of this dark ally that will rob you of all your money and leach off you for rest of your life. Deny him this and he shall destroy you, your friends and you family.

I would like to thank you Mike for putting up all this information, contributing with so many others to help and bring out the truth about Corporate Scientology. And helping me find the reasons why there was something so wrong with my church which I stood by for so long under the wrong premises and making justifications for. Never again.

The staff members *do* see it but they rationalize it by getting told … and saying to themselves … that all they have to do is work harder and longer. They’re convinced that all the other Ideal Orgs on the planet are producing just fine and expanding at 70x…the problem is just in *their* org, because the staff is PTS, the public are PTS, the public is criminal, and their little corner of the world would be right as rain if only the correct person was identified and declared or sec-checked to within an inch of bankruptcy.
And to a certain way of thinking, they’re right. If the staff wasn’t so gullible, if it didn’t believe the tripe poured out by Miscavige…if the staff wasn’t so PTS…the org would probably be doing better.

He’s urban legend now. Let’s show a little respect.

John — this is only the first page. There are two other pages of names…. I didnt want to bore everyone

Here is an e-mail bragging about the most awesomest CLO in the history of Scientology, crushing the “competition” to give more money than everyone else worldwide. And WUS happens to have the biggest concentration of Scientologists on the planet. Yet they have exactly 11 people/families that have given money at the Humanitarian level this year, and some of those (Jensens, Cartwright, Baybak) are the most loyal ones out there. I’d estimate that there are about 8,000 Scientologists in this region, so there are at most 30 “Humanitarians” globally this year (not too many Eastern Europeans, Russians or Asians likely to cough up, I don’t think). I don’t have IAS donor lists handy, but I seem to recall in prior years the number of people at “Humanitarian” and above was many times larger. So this list of people doesn’t sound like expansion to me — it sounds like an organization on its last gasp.

Les, from knowing 2 of the people on the list of donors I think you are very very correct.
These 2 people are the coldest people I think I ever met. MEST is everything. Which
also goes along with Logan’s view of middle class PTS’ness.

It boggles my mind that staffs don’t see it. Not all of them are youngsters indoctrinated from infancy, there are what I observe in my area as a handful of very well-trained staff not low on the Bridge who stay on year after year. How do they not see this? How have they yet not figured this out?

One theory I strongly entertain is that these staff DO see it but are keeping their heads down and pretending all is well, all is swell. If this theory is correct, boy, are their witholds getting missed! So much they can’t see, so much they can’t say. And they are good, helpful people too. Must be hell for them.

Thank you once more, Mike, for shining this light. I hope many of them are reading and keeping themselves De PTS ed until they have some viable excuse to route off staff, as there is just no way they can win anymore if they’re forwarding the RCS;s ‘purpose”.
