It has worked perfectly for what it was created for: A means to rook and swindle money out of the gullible rubes, marks, and suckers.<BR/><BR/>Hubbard got away with rooking BILLIONS out of his customers, repeatedly selling them a bridge in a bait-and-switch bunko fraud that never ends. The insane drug addled conman died with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in his possession, all of which disappeared in David Miscaviage's off shore banks.<BR/><BR/>During the 1977 Federal raids against the insane criminals the Feds "recovered" tens of millions of dollars in cash from the crook's \temporary residences, some 30 million of which was tsacked in a closet of a residence Hubbard had fled after learning the Federal authorities were on their way (Gilman Hot Springs and Hemet.)<BR/><BR/>Scientology works. It has been a successful criminal enterprise for decades. Sci9entology does everything that its founder created it for.Legionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897774165273447205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588150109003847843.post-23455219399024334872008-12-06T23:15:00.000-08:002008-12-06T23:15:00.000-08:00Come on now Bill.

Until you manage to get out from underneath his influence, staff who have been unfortunate enough to work under him are in a constant state of fear and anxiety at best. There are many accurate descriptions of him on the web already so I won't regurgitate them here. Aside from any inherent flaws in Scientology itself, DM is the biggest reason why Scientology doesn't work and is going straight to hell. A man like him being in charge of a church is simply counter-intuitive. The following exercise quickly makes the point. Sit down and list out all of the characteristics that you would expect to find in a Man of God or a Holy Man or some such. You know - obvious examples like Jesus Christ, Ghandi, Buddha and some of their obvious traits such as Love, Tolerance, Forgiveness, Patience, Peace, etc. Now write down the characteristics you would expect to find in an Unholy Man or Man of the Devil or what have you. Now list out the known traits of Miscavige and compare him to the two lists above. Would you call him a Holy Man? Does he seem like someone who should be running and expanding a Church? I didn't think so either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588150109003847843.post-67079453662068648922008-12-06T17:57:00.000-08:002008-12-06T17:57:00.000-08:00Scientologist probably have perpetual wedgies...Ex...Scientologist probably have perpetual wedgies...Excellent blog, Bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588150109003847843.post-15843865264737829822008-12-05T20:40:00.000-08:002008-12-05T20:40:00.000-08:00Good question, Bill.

As a former Sea Org member I can confirm what you say about nearly all staff getting trained on the PTS/SP course as well as many public Scientologists. I know Miscavige took quite some pride in personally working over that course to make it so "effective," and he ruthlessly pushed getting as many people through it as possible. Well, contrary to what he thinks, you are right, none of the graduates could confront and shatter their way out of a wet paper bag. Have you seen the latest Tom Cruise interview with Barbara Walters? Talk about a whipped puppy! He sure isn't talking about Scientology anymore, yet he was ranting on and on in that infamous 2004 video about confronting and shattering suppression. No longer! Right there is the biggest high-profile example of the exact point you are making, Bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
