That booklet is actually nauseating. The cause and effect comparisons are so off the wall that a person would have to really want to believe to get them to align. It also shows that it is probably commonplace to stat push a person to their next level. I wonder if it is only when they are just in the lower levels or that’s how people rise through the statuses all the way up.

Scientology will do their best to figure out a way to demand a takedown of this article.

"Hero's Award" = 25% discount. HA!

In Scientology status is everything. Hubbard dogma encourages narcissism and then giving status levels takes advantage of a member’s increased narcissism. A perfect hamster wheel. I’m glad Ivan woke up and is in touch with Tony. This situation is a perfect illustration of what a toxic, destructive, scam Scientology is.

Oooh, what a lovely court case for reporters to dig into! Too bad it is set after the summer break (slow news period). But, even after summer, it should get a lot of press on the "freak" factor alone.

And, best of all, since this is a criminal case, defendant David "he is NOT insane!" Miscavige cannot make it go away when the publicity starts getting excited.

Your help has been absolutely crucial and is very appreciated!

You are total legends in the IAS. You are key stable terminals for Flag and the IAS internationally.

2020 / 2021

You achieved the level of Diamond Meritorious!

"There are those who would tell us that are ambitions are too high, that no single group, much less a single man, could bring about a change in the dangerous career of Earth. But such people do not know their history. Single men and determined groups have been the only makers of space in which man could walk free."

“Walk free” what a joke. Hubbard was trapped in his brainwashing. Scientology is “The prison of belief” on steroids.

But, I think it's your purpose, too." - LRH

You made the start. If we win, it is your win."

Thirty four 'diamond meritorious' clams = 170 million dollars. Is this just another 'he said, she said' fight? If that steel trading business yielded so much money, how much did Gaspardi keep for himself? As with so many $cieno 'deals', I smell a rat. Or is that a 'third party problem' in $cienotalk?

After all is said and done, this just shows that when $cienoes do 'business' with one another, someone is getting screwed. And the one higher on the totem pole always wins. Wins until real law enforcement gets involved.

So, basically if they sometimes give out hero discounts that means not everyone achieving a status has potentially donated the entire amount. I could totally see them giving out discounts in exchange for commitments of donations in order to have people reach new statuses in light years.
