Yes KTBug, and if you go back to &#039;91, you&#039;d see a massive drop in staff when Sterling Mgmt Systems stopped paying the staff at all for months and months on end.  Many left after having maxed out their credit cards trying to stay on and help SMS weather the storm.  So if Kevin Wilson has such high stats as a business owner (NOT) , why did they put him in charge of WISE, the business arm of Scientology?  He is not an example of how to expand by using the tech.]]></description>

yes!  and as an added bonus, I made lots of room on the bookshelves for books I love.  :)  

I kept my clear bracelets.. .. I don&#039;t know what I&#039;ll do with them.. years from now... maybe I&#039;ll be in the rocking chair and pull them out ... &quot;yes dear, it&#039;s ALL True, ..and here&#039;s a little trinket I&#039;ve kept.....&quot;

The goal of clear was very dear and fundamental in my world... and the lie of clear is a blanket that covers it all for me...]]></description>

Damn, I forgot about the CDs and the whoop-de-doo scientology CD player. I also forgot to mention that we had two sets of everything, one for me and one for my wife (per lrh). 
Impressive pile at the dump I must say.]]></description>

They don&#039;t really follow it.  I find some of it works.  (NOT the Birthday Game, though - Jesus, cut your throat and say Sayonara to your business with THAT piece of &quot;tech). But I use SOME Scn admin tech  successfully. I cherry pick what I like and what suits my business in that it CAN be used. 

 As for the orgs, in the end I saw that admin tech and ANY tech went right out the window if it conflicted with Command Intention.  Some order would come down and staff would go nuts.  I observed this as a public. Some other times I&#039;ll list out all the specific examples I observed. The orders were EVERYTHING.  Big scrambles to comply with them, pressure, pressure on public.  Then, a month or so later, it would be something ELSE. 

Being on staff had to be hell on earth.]]></description>

Yeah, , Hubbard loved uneducated people,  and the uneducated are certainly Miscavige&#039;s  preferred slave demographic. How they must be so proud to share this enlightened viewpoint with no less that the  current President of the United States America!   Well it was a long time coming but this is a tremendous validation for the Founder and the Dwarf wouldn&#039;t you say?]]></description>

ahhh yes... I too, know the joys of simply destroying 4 decades of Scn Rubbish.  Things I&#039;d just ever so recently cherished and revered...just burnt up and dumped with no emotion other than a bit of satisfaction.  Bins and bins of books, tapes, CDs, certs upon certs... smash-burn-rip

It was the last thing I&#039;d have ever guessed I&#039;d do - to a mind blowingly large degree.]]></description>

Actually, Valerie, DMSMH did make the New York Times bestseller list for a short time when it first came out so LRH was a New York Times bestselling author in that regard. Problem is that the Dianetics euphoria didn&#039;t last very long and soon the book was relegated to the bargain bin.]]></description>
