I have to say this was shocking display of &quot;out-TRs&quot; on her part.  I don&#039;t care what you said to her - THIS is how a &quot;church worker&quot; responds to someone on the TELEPHONE?  Even if you cursed at her at firstwhich I&#039;m sure you didn&#039;t,but even if you had,  this type of response is low class, trashy, disgraceful.  Seriously, can you IMAGINE a clergy or a worker representing any respectable church or religious organization speaking like that to a stranger on the phone?  

Then again, as Bombastic Bimbo Krusty Alley pointed out on the Howard Stern show: &quot;We are not a &#039;turn the other cheek&quot; religion&#039;&quot;.

Indeed.]]></description>

Her vice is addiction to her cult habit and her inability to even imagine having a real job and a real life in the non-Scientology world. Add to the above that her vice is needing a &quot;license to survive&quot; from True Leader and all of her &quot;friends&quot; in the cult.]]></description>

That’s funny, but, I also understand how once they begin to get tongue-tied you begin to feel sorry for them.

Once, a girl called (I could tell she was young) and I told her she sounded like nice person and to take my advice, and leave that cult, get out while you can.
She consulted with her senior and called me back and told me to go fuck myself.
Really....don’t ya love it?]]></description>

LOL, Nan!  You won&#039;t be reading anything about &quot;salary&quot;.  

One time, just for laughs, I answered one of these staff ads.  I had been gone for a few years by that time.  So I answered a Craigslist ad one of the orgs put up. Gave a fake name, number, mostly listened to the eager voice at the other end telling me what a great &quot;opportunity&quot; this was, etc., and then, in an &#039;uptone&quot;, voice, with very good grammar, told her it all sounded WONDERFUL,  that I was QUITE  interested and willing to start off as a trainee, and what was the beginning trainee salary?

WELL!

Talk about a verbal tap dance!

Holding back my chuckle I listened to this girl verbally bob and weave and side step.  Now, I don&#039;t recall her precise words but suffice to say she was thrown for a loop as to how to answer and still keep me on the hook wanting an interview.  I could tell she was  excited about &quot;pulling me in&quot;.

Mostly I can remember exact words but I&#039;ve blocked hers out entirely because to tell the truth I began to feel sorry for her, and guilty.   What I was doing was rather evil, after all.   I&#039;m sure I ruined her day.]]></description>

In a few years the promo pix will be showing more wheelchairs and walkers and the long term still ins age and no new people &quot;flood in&quot; to the cherch.

In fact, this would be good questions for any Stil Innie in good standing: Why does all your promo contain mostly old people?  If  Scientology is expanding so darn exponentially, why don&#039;t we SEE hardly anyone under 55 in the various orgs&#039; promotional flyers?  Where are all these new people FLOODING IN?]]></description>

That&#039;s a good point you brought out!, Yawn!

Why have the OTs parlour trick everything, right with the thetan equivalent of a Bewitched Samantha nose wiggle? 

With all problems glowed to solution by the OTs, what would be the impetus for Mankind to become Scientologists?

So, really, its fortunate that they can&#039;t do them ANYWAY.

Although they have no problem letting others believe that they can!]]></description>

What caught me about her speech was that after one tour on staff no progress had been made (earth still a mess) so she signed up for another one.  Cause this time it’s gonna work!]]></description>
