I can hear it now, 'we don't that anymore'! Nor do they do it any less. Reducing your workforce to 'production units' just makes them slaves. Slaves with no recourse but to knuckle under or leave. I do hope most leave, but one coerced abortion is one too many. I you want to have one, fine by me, but don't let the CO$ take control of your reproduction rights.

Claire, Sunny, Gary Morehead and so many others have continued to tell the truth and keep the modus operandi of the Clampire in the news. I worship them from afar.

So very many things in today's article that shock, even after all this time. Why am I either surprised or horrified that exiled parents are permitted to return once their children are old enough to become little Sea Org slaves?

As far as I recall, Hubbard was not critical of abortions in Dianetics. His focus was on the hidden memories of all the *failed* abortions that free-wheeling memory regression ("go earlier similar") seemed to get people to come up with. Successful abortions would have meant no adult to audit and get such memories from.

Scientology will present a crazy image 20-30 years from now.

Strategically there are Hubbard policies that will allow some long range guidelines.

LRH wanted Scientology to keep up the religion image.

That is big, strategically, for once Miscavige is "gone".

What 20-30 year in the future Sea Org members, and "ASI" staff choose which of Hubbard's deeper longer range policies, to allow "change" (I've gone into the weeds countless unappreciated times about Hubbard's slight long range strategies, but complicating even his loopholes, there is the problem of the "tech" the quackery's not delivering anything supernaturally spiritual to anyone, so what exactly will Scientology even be selling 20-40 years from now). BUT if you presume that the syllabus, "The Bridge to Total Freedom" is the syllabus layout of services meaning training to become the quackery pseudo-therapist/exorcist and the receiving steps of the quackery and exorcism, that is the core of what Scientology will always "sell" to the public.

Then big delay today, is correcting the syllabus, and Miscavige has that on such deep hold, lack of competent "compilations" personnel to even review the syllabus course LRH writings, the whole red volumes writings have been put on hold, there's no one to review them and "correct" the past less than perfect compilations of the writings.

People never seem to get that LRH wrote the rules for compiling his orders and comments into the polished writings that appeared in the red and green volumes. He did write a whole slew of compiling rules, and these writings on how to compile his writings, I studied when I did the "Compilations Officer Full Hat Checksheet", I've done the training to become a "standard" compiler. I never did the next step of doing any significant compiling of his issues, but I saw and witnessed the behind the scenes paperwork in the Int Base Compilations branch offices, I worked there a few months, and when training, I pawed through past paperwork done on the latest and greatest most latest compilations to see how the sausage was made.

I even priorly witnessed how 7 different LRH orders were cobbled into the "Routing Forms, How to Write One" policy letter. I method 9ed the raw Hubbard advices, and I likewise method nined the finished product "Routing Forms, How to Write One" and even the woman who did the compilation had me do the "peer review" of her finished product compilation of this LRH bylined writing.

There is a whole long list of guidelines, and the woman, Phoebe Mauer, had done countless LRH ordered and approved "compilations" following the Hubbard guidelines, she was the best all time "compiler" likely in the movement's history, and never busted.

Anyways, the reason things have plowed to this huge two decade long impasse on Keeping Scientology Working point number 1, "having the correct technology" is truly deeply, just that exact quoted phrase. Miscavige is stuck on point 1 of KSW policy, which orders: "Having the correct technology."

If there are minor or major typos and omissions, or lack of evidence that every one of the last edition red volumes or green volumes or the books, or any of the published LRH writings are potentially NOT perfect, then that is "out KSW point number 1." As dumb as that seems, that is the problem.

The paperwork done to prove that all of the LRH writings were by him, and not just screwy badly compiled output of the various persons who have over the decades acted as compilations officers, their work is always in question, when there is insufficient LRH raw manuscript material from which to prove every significant line in every one of LRH's issues and books, is from him.

Compilations of his stuff, is a major big deal, per Keeping Scientology Working point number 1.

it's stalled there, and this is impossible to get across to anyone.

Shipping them to a non productive org should not be much of a threat these days. Is there, in reality, a productive org?
