KTL/LOC helped me find the exit so there is that.

The whole subject–the “quackery pseudo-therapy or exorcism”–is undeserving.

The subject I no longer consider deserving anyone’s time nor money, no paying any “debts” to it for one’s staff courses and the quackery pseudo-therapy or exorcism they gave you for “free.”

So when I was toying with the debt, I wanted to see how low I could finnagle it, but I really didn’t want to stay in LA, go on course at ASHO even though per rights, I “ought” to have, since i was playing along like that was my intention.

But the whole subject is undeserving of anyone playing along with it.

Re: “…reduced my freeloader debt from 100Gs range down to 500 bucks…”

That is a considerable reduction in debt, Chuck!

When the powers that be calculated my freeloader debt, they applied a particular policy letter to it (for every year served, you could knock off a certain percentage, or something like that).

If I remember correctly, Miscavige cancelled that policy short after that.

And you never did pay your F/L debt. Now that is what I’d call a ” discount”!

Great story Fred,

ASHO Staff did have a lot of heart. When I routed out, became a freeloader, the then Treasury Sec ASHO Fdn was an Englishman named Stephen Hocke, who I’d trained on his OEC ten years prior. Stephan very nicely reduced my freeloader debt from 100Gs range down to 500 bucks, in much the same way your Mary did, by just not taking into consideration all the other crap billed to me.

But I didn’t want to go back, so never paid even the 500 bucks reduced F/L bill.

But ASHO staff were just so abused, they were so stuck in the middle of things there at the Pacifica Bridge hierarchy, they were a special nice bunch of suffering diehards.

You got it!

Keeping Scientology Working

really means:

“Keep Blaming Staff And Public, To Keep the Scam Working”.

aka

“Keeping Quackery “Working” By Always Blaming Staff and Public”

Wow! Nice! Thank you, Lily.

If you cut their hands off, they can’t sign anything. It’s a close call. To avoid the S.O. or to live without hands. A tough choice to be sure.

Hi Dave,
We haven’t met. But I felt as if your hand was in mine while I read your story. You were leading me gently through your story and the thicket of confusion that was my mind. I was leaving Scientology, but I still believed the Hubbard BS.
I still felt knee-jerk guilt at “letting the group down.” My Scientology friends were my friends. I loved them.
You were like my new friend, showing me what was wrong in the small ways as well as the large ways. You helped me see my experience with your eyes as you showed me your experience.
Whenever I’ve seen a comment written by you, I smile.
So, no we haven’t met, but I call you friend.

Chuck,

Hail Xenu!

Guinness World Records claims: “The most published works by one author is L. Ron Hubbard…”

Scientology built a book empire with Bridge Publications and Galaxy Press. You, too, can have your own book empire if you’re able to launch a group of people completely devoted to you (that is, the Sea Org, whose birthday is August 12, founded 1966). “Published works” does not necessarily mean that what Hubbard wrote is coherent or even good.

“Quackery” is a most apt description of Scientology.

Your observation and evaluation is appreciated.
