The unique thing about Scn registrar scams is that the reges actually believe they&#039;re doing good. If they recognize anything dishonest or unscrupulous in the tactics they&#039;ve been trained in, it&#039;s all justified as being &quot;for the greatest good&quot; (meaning it&#039;s beneficial to more aspects of survival than it is harmful;  good for the majority of their eight &quot;dynamics&quot; that is.) But what it really comes down to is whether or not the activity is seen as good in any way for Scn. Y&#039;see, if something is seen as good for even one dynamic then that alone is supportive of other dynamics... which makes it ultimately good for all eight dynamics. It&#039;s mental gymnastics. Practically anything can be justified in this fashion and if it is, then it&#039;s overall good and desirable. in the mindset of Scn. Their reality is that because people are at the mercy of their reactive bank they will opt, if left to their own devices, to do non-survival things (such as paying their mortgage rather than donating to IAS, for example). So the reg with his superior knowledge and devious methods is actually &quot;helping&quot; the poor, misguided, reactive bank-driven sap in front of him. The underlying, heavily indoctrinated belief is that because Scn is &quot;Mankind&#039;s only hope&quot; etc, then logically, anything deemed even remotely good for Scn is also good for all of Mankind and Life. Once this psychological foundation is laid, these lofty goals and beliefs easily appeal to many people&#039;s inherent goodness but then fail to hold up to scrutiny in real life. Even though the path all seemed so real, it hinges on the &quot;Tech&quot; and unfortunately &quot;the Tech&quot; fails to deliver. But before people realize that it&#039;s the tech that doesn&#039;t work they&#039;re diverted off into &quot;Ethics&quot; and the bottomless pit of blaming themselves. The &quot;Grades&quot; and other lower level processing do often help to raise a person&#039;s awareness, IMO but also lock the person on an assembly line to &quot;OT levels&quot; etc. &quot;Ethics tech&quot; and a myriad other misleading and expensive accoutrements only ensnare the individual&#039;s purpose and better judgement. Scientologists, particularly staff members often go from being decent people to robotic, unhealthy, stat-driven drones with a &quot;dedicated glare&quot;. The book &quot;Scientology, Hollywood and the prison of belief&quot; by Lawrence Wright is a book who&#039;s title is the perfect summation of its subject.]]></description>

I think that guy with big red gun has a nice beard and hair from Vancouver. I wish I had hair like that. It&#039;s a really nice suit too. Now, since many of these flyers have phone numbers perhaps we could wish some a really happy holiday. I think I&#039;m gonna donate some money from my imaginary billion dollar account. No one will know until its too late. You can always make up a fake credit card number and just keep feeding it to them. My transactions with Scientology when I was donating were always accompanied with my bank warning me about possible fraud so we are sort of where we want to be; a complete ban on their transactions.
