Sylvia, 

You&#039;re right on the money about the can&#039;t have/ can&#039;t-train auditors statement. Auditor training should be affordable. Its already way too expensive and will be made more so. 

But the upside is that prices are being raised on their squirrel auditor training, which will assist many people in not buying it  Not buying squirrel auditor training is a good thing.  And it will probably be heavily pushed as well, another turn off.  And, anyone who buys GAG !! will need to wait for his or her org to become and Ideal Morgue (a new building, renovated and furnished) before that org will be allowed to even deliver GAG !!.  Then, there&#039;s the long runway of completing the Basics beforehand...between one thing and another I see GAG !! as just another &quot;thing&quot; to cave the existing sheeple.   Add to that the unremitting pressure to donate to Ideal Orgs and the IAS.    Point being, between one thing and another, I don&#039;t see how it will be possible to either sell or deliver many GAG !! auditor training packages. I just see it as another way to cave people in, and that&#039;s good, because the more caved in they get, the sooner they will either leave or withdraw from Corporate Scientology.]]></description>

Confusing people is one of the first steps in brainwaishing. Shake their stable datum like a 9.0 earthquake and then make them wait for the answer. By the time you give it to them, they are so answer hungry, they&#039;ll accept anything.

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/the-smiths-let-another-one-rip/#comment-15210&quot;&gt;Just Me&lt;/a&gt;.

Just Me, have you ever experienced one of those moments, when you thought you were going to get some really bad news like: You owe $50,000 in taxes, or your job is being outsourced. Then suddenly, you find out the bill is only $1500 or the job is staying but your salary is $500 less per month and you feel &quot;relieved&quot; even though the news still sucks? That&#039;s what this feels like to me. Lay out a stream of confusing, conflicting, nonsensical information, and then have the Supreme Little One, come in and clear it all up. Then everyone is supposed to experience a sense of relief, because someone actually &quot;understands&quot; this shit and can explain it to us.

Only it&#039;s not relief. It&#039;s the perception of brain cells keeling over from an overload of Stupid. 

Mike and Val Smith are in the last stages of BCE, Brain Cell Eradication, and what we&#039;re reading are the classic signs of the advanced stage of this heartbreaking and wholly avoidable disease. The Cure: Stop Listening. Turn off the phones, disconnect the Internet,  erase the Churches address from your GPS, hide the checkbook (in another state) and start speaking the truth. Within three weeks, maybe less, the brain cells that DFO&#039;d (Done Fell Over) will rejuvenate, and a surge of clarity will reappear. At first Panic will set in, as this sensation has been unknown for years, but this fear will pass, if the subject embraces the moment and doesn&#039;t resist it. Eyesight will improve, that gnawing sense of desperation  will subside and eventually vanish completely and one&#039;s complexion will clear up, zits and other imperfections will disappear along with that ringing sound in the ear, reminiscent of constant phone calls from regges.

For the Smiths, there&#039;s hope, but they must act now and with conviction - and stop writing these Effing emails!]]></description>

Mary -- there are a ton of hidden data lines in Scientology. I can assure you those SCAs were issued as a result of a weekly stat analysis response from LRH. He was sent a stat analysis on every sector of Scientology by WDC and a report on each of the functions of Scientology by ED Int every Thursday nite (Friday morning actually). The responses came back on Saturday morning and were often lengthy (20 pages) laying out what he wanted done. There was a LOT of traffic on implementing the LRH &quot;Bright Idea&quot; about SCAs. I don&#039;t give a crap whether they have them or not, I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy. Miscavige will announce that he has reviewed ALL LRH TRAFFIC on something and uncovered &quot;specific direction&quot; on this, that or the other (like GAT drills or the &quot;manuscripts of books&quot; or &quot;pricing data&quot;) and then base his actions on that, claiming to be &quot;fully on-Source&quot;. But nobody really knows if he is or isn&#039;t because they DONT GET TO SEE THE DATA. I was calling bullshit on the &quot;fact&quot; that there is &quot;nothing from LRH on SCAs&quot;. They have been in use for 30 years and just now he &quot;discovers&quot; there is nothing from LRH about them? 

This is unadulterated bullshit.

Frankly, I think SCAs should be canceled. The IAS should be canceled. The Ideal Org program should be canceled. Discounts should be canceled. Redoing Purif and Objectives after OT VIII should be canceled. The whole corporate Church of Scientology in fact should be canceled. All on the basis that there is nothing from LRH that supports them :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[LRH may have ordered SCAs by secret dispatch during the years Hubbard was in hiding and off all church management lines for legal purposes,  but there was never any HCOPL or HCOB stating he authorized SCAs.  

To play devil&#039;s advocate here for a moment, I can show why SCAs were able to be cancelled. 
The SOEDs that introduced SCAs back in 1981 could be considered off source by anyone with authority in exec strata finance. 

Mark Plummer, former long time Treas Sec and Dir Disbursements for ASHO Day, discussed SCAs and their history in an 2001 ARS post which was then put into this article called  Scientology - the &quot;religion&quot; that pays rebates! 
[..] &quot; The Service Completion Award system was established in April of 1981.
The issues which established the SCA are Sea Organization Executive Directive 1674 International (SO ED 1674 Int) &quot;Service Completion Award&quot; and Sea Org Executive Directive 1675 International (SO ED 1675 Int) &quot;Service Completion Awards Finance Handling&quot;. Both issues were released on 24 April 1981. &quot; [..]   http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/scam-rebates.htm
