“The courses talk about problems people don’t even truly realize they have.”

Isn’t that Scientology in a nutshell? Only I would call it “problems people truly don’t have.”

Ha, I thought the same thing!

And how to apply what you learn to others? What?

And how would the “problems” relate to these jobs in business administration? It’s so silly

So, hiring lots of staff. Just not any actual, ehrm, teachers. (No, "technical delivery" is not teaching.)

I noticed the absence of actual teachers from the list

The front groups are believable if one's not learned about the details of them, like if one doesn't know the results of them, the tiniest parts of them that are effective, vs the parts of the fronts groups' role in funneling goodwill back at Scientology, and then the bigger picture that official Scientology dishes out continuing greater woe to society due to the entrenched nastiness unshakeable from official Scientology.

When I was a fully onboard Xenu Person (Team Xenu member, helping official Scientology maintain its framework of organizations which all adds up to upper "Advanced" Scientology organizations then doing the exorcism procedures, OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are the exorcism steps of Scientology, all Sea Org are helping maintain the exorcism practices of Scientology, so that the Xenu "engram", aka "the Fourth Dynamic Engram" which was caused by Xenu, has "handled" by ushering Scientologists up the Hubbard stepladder of pseudo-therapy-past-lives quackery and then the secret-no-longer exorcism of OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to rid Scientologists of the R6 implanted body-thetans whom Xenu mass murdered, mass implanted, and mass dumped upon earth to today supposedly infest all humans), if the public knows the full backstory of the beliefs, it'd be a step up in society's benefit, to just know "What Is Scientology?" It's a whole bunch of exorcism that they never talk about, and the rules for not talking about the Xenu Wall of Fire/4th Dynamic Engram/ExorcismStepOT3,4,5,6,and7 leaves the understanding of Scientology by the public, sadly lacking.

One ex Scientology front group person, another excellent book to always remember to read, "Have You Told All?: Inside My Time with Narconon and Scientology" by Lucas Catton, mentions helpfully, completing the theoretical dots for Scientology's spiritual practices, that "OT 4" is the "drugs handling" important and never revealed angle missing but implied related to the Narconon program.

For a human to be fully "free" of their "drugs" problem, they need to someday do the Scientology OT 4 specialized exorcism steps.

The front groups lead to the Scientology exorcism "solutions" if one groks all the details of Hubbard's spiritual theories.

It all goes back to Xenu dumping a load of souls onto earth, for which upper secret Scientology tries to mend earth's problems using Scientology's vast long exorcism steps which they aren't allowed to discuss. We supposedly have problems only Scientology can fix. The world is clearly smart enough to put it all together, and it's time Scientology fessed up to their grand schemes themselves, and not have to rely on ex Team Xenu followers to explain "What Is Scientology?" (Hubbard's their biggest problem, in all directions, he deemed it "SP" "High Crime" level of infraction if they discuss or even say the name Xenu or body-thetans, and the dare not explain their secret words, so it's up to ex's and informed citizens to understand the bigger "What Is Scientology?" picture of Scientology.)

Outside of 'Spanish lake', where are there any operations of Applied Scholastics? Any school that really looks at their scam can easily use their 'study guides' to do the one thing that AP teaches. Use the freakin dictionary! Thank you for those words of a windbag.

AP got away with their 'tutoring' scheme in 2000's because no one seems to have vetted any of the 'tutors' that got government money to 'tutor' students. When AP came into the light, they were shown the door fairly quickly, though NarCONon gets most of the public outing at most news outlets.

Of course they’re in need of credentials in accounting or estate planning: it’s laughable to imagine that regular people highly skilled in these areas would jump at the opportunity to tutor or mentor students for likely little pay. Does “Spanish Lake” put up listings on Indeed? Ziprecruiter? Does Scientology have an internal job board, or do they put this schlock on an email job blast sent out to all publics, hoping those who’ve never worked for staff have experience in these fields?
