UnclePepin – no, I don’t believe that was LRH’s intention at all (to raise the cash and not caring about achieving the products of Scientology). Old Herbie in the GO told me that LRH had a million dollars on account in the 60s so he had enough money anyway but even if it was true then as we can see that COB’s reversal of that fund rasing or buildings policy has crashed (actual) Gross Income stats from the sales of course and intensives probably now for decades.Which is why DM has had to come up with something else. It probably started as a Stat Push which snowballed and has been snowballing ever since, although the snow is now melting so to speak after several decades.

But my main point is that your comment implies or actually states that LRH was materialistic and just wanted personal wealth. I don’t think from all I know and have read and what others have told me of LRH that such a theory is true and I believe that the opposite of it is true. And actually one cannot begrudge him the bucks even if it was true – he wrote the stuff.

As if we don’t know who they are. Nice try.

Those clowns wouldn’t know policy if it smacked them in the head, but that would be a good start.

Thanks Wendy, maybe I can get some one day. Are they fun?

MJ, services are ancient – before cellphones even……perhaps you are too young to remember 😉

🙂 The Omnipotent Bart. I shoulda known.

Thanks Foolproof. What you say is so true.

I held a seminar at a mission and planned to talk about finance. Like “spend less than you make” and such old fashioned wisdoms.

I had the local brass from the CLO tracking me down to make sure I did not go against anything they were trying to achieve. I kid you not. They were petrified I was going to suggest to the audience that they should not donate, but should create reserves, and only spend what they planned.

I went ahead anyway. But their antics prior, were incredible. I was going “off policy”. How times have changed!

Cool Aqua.

Sorry Coop….should I make a donation? Don a hair vest with lice included? 🙂
