Yesterday, former London staffer Alex Barnes-Ross completed his three-day protest at Scientology’s big annual IAS gala, and he saved his wildest experience for last.
How are the Duggans and other whales going to compete with TC? Unless they arrive in a horse drawn carriage or are carried in on the backs of Elephants, who would know how important they are? I am certain that no one is allowed to compete with TC in this area.
I guess TC roughed it at the Manor House for 2 nights. I bet he spent most of that time with his hero, Davy Miscavige. Tom Cruise needed a trusted friend, so he brought his dog. Good Boy, now let me tape these soup cans to your paws so we can audit out the Scooby Doo engram.
I wonder what the whole history of helicopter landing spots at Saint Hill are, if there are several spots, and how many landings have been used over the past years.
I'd think the other billionaire class Scientologists would follow Tom's lead, and get to and from the IAS Saint Hill gathering also in helicopters next year, and provide a mixup of who's who in which helicopter type of cover for Tom.
"You Billionaires of Scientology, Have Pity on the Staffs, Raise Staff Pay, Make it Decent!"
I know that is one thing, when you walk into a Scientology organization, even the 1975 Phoenix Org, I noticed immediately the dire monetary conditions of the diehard staff members. All of the "high up" execs had business jobs on the side, and the lower staff really were in dire condition, bohemian sharing with each other lifestyle.
You see the stress in their eyes, they are really putting their lives aside to be staff in Scientology and the pay scale only in the lowest percentage orgs and in the better missions, only those staffs had any financial stability.
Scientology is NOT a viable staff career, not unless you always compare it to the "going forth" into total poverty life of a Buddhist monk or nun, or Catholic nun or Catholic monk, which is the ONLY way I could self justify my "going forth" into staff life in Sea Org. I was a first gen Scientologist, and knew of what human history's monks and nuns did, and they gave up ALL midddle class consumerism.
I wonder if the billionaire Scientologists, and the mega millionaire Scientologists, what their justification is for the continuing of the meagerness of the staff pay in Scientology system?
This is absolutely amazing, Alex. Cruise's bubble does need to be broken and glad that you were able to do it! "Marc Headley says hi" was brilliant. Well done to you and all the protestors.
Maybe that’s why there were so many empty rooms in the local hotels? Did all of the teeny crowd stay at St. Hill rather than mingle with the unwashed masses?
Kudos to the protest for raising $1,000 for the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation. Double kudos to the person who reached out to the foundation and made it out. Hilarious that they managed to help a person escape Scientology about the same time Miscavige was crowing to the anemic crowd about massive expansion. I can hear Mike’s laugh now.
Faux Goliath(Dave Miscavige)is starting to cringe as a courageous David(Alex) continues to expose Scientology and its fraudulent activities. Alex is a shining example of purpose and persistence. I appreciate his continuing exposure of the truth about Scientology.
I'm studying the Pali Canon, it was one of the choices I didn't take, back when I mistakenly chose to jump into Scientology.
There were in ancient Buddhist times, several rich original Buddhists who let the Buddha and the monks hang out in some of their properties, also some rich Buddhists bought properties for the monks and nuns to do their Buddhist thing at.
So, really, since Scientology has even a policy in one of the Scientology cult bureaucracy books, called OEC Volume 1, about the "Historical Precedence of Ethics" which refers to Buddhist monastic "ethics" regulations, it does seem allowable, should there even be any thinkers in the Scientology "Think Tank" which is called the Executive Strata, what should happen is someone in Exec Strata in Scientology should allow a fundraising of the billionaires, to extend their fundraising to include the Sea Org (which are more parallel and similar to the monks and nuns staff category of Scientology) buildings buying, donating, renting for free, type of thing.
So really, using the billionaire Scientologists does have an historical precedence, in Buddhism.
So honestly, Tom Cruise and other super rich Scientologists ought to directly fund all the buildings.
But the problem, really, is the past discussed on the critics chat sites, of the whole cult's lack of "OT making" and also just overstaffing problem.
There are so many other problems to the Hubbard setup, and then on top, that Hubbard himself, who was a believer to the end in his ghosts exorcism procedures, did his exorcism on himself to no avail in the end of his own "self processing/exorcism" using his own quackery on himself, and failing in the end.
He went into despair and the KEY reason all Scientologists should read the spoiler alert final Chapter of Lawrence Wright's book, "Going Clear...." is to read Hubbard's admission of failure.
The Hubbard setup is rickety, the quackery didn't even work for Hubbard himself, in the bitter end of his life, he was unable to get some pesky ghosts to leave him alone, they kept at him.
No staff setup would work, Hubbard overstaffed his setup making it double triple impossible to make it all work.
BUT, staff pay increase would at least let staff save up money and quit with some money in their pocket, as they plan their exit from the dire staff conditions in the Hubbard Scientology staff setup.
-----------------------------------
Quitters of Scientology official setups, who still feel their "Hat In LIfe" is doing the Hubbard auditing ("tech" which to me is quackery) and want to professional make a living auditing others, and those with money who wish to pay for auditing (past lives trauma delving, and the "upper" "advanced" exorcism of space alien ghosts that supposedly infest all our human bodies and leak bad ideas and impulses into our minds), those that want to do this, it's their "Hat In Life" and they do the quackery sincerely to other sincerely interested persons, well that is their choice.
I wouldn't ever do it, but in the world, one could dig up the red volume books that have ALL of the Hubbard questions that get asked of the "auditing" recipients, and one could DIY the Hubbard mind delving quackery on oneself or with another person.
I don't recommend it, but one could do it, and with the Hubbard books out in the world, the cat's (quackery is) out of the bag.
Thanks for the tip on Pali Canon. I’ll check them out.
Regarding your off topic, topic. I have subjective and scientific understanding of why the OT exorcism occasionally works. It has nothing to do with getting rid of body thetans. I agree with your analysis 100%. It’s a fools journey in or out of the Scientology organization. It is the ultimate Rube Goldberg money maker and fear machine. And is a lie.
That would be a good topic to discuss with a three way panel so people could understand how fraudulent it is.
I'm not myself educated enough to do a conversation, I'd say an old tooth psychologist with decades of experience in what parts of psychology work, knowledgable in placebo extensively, ought be capable of discussing why the NOTs Xenu's ghosts exorcism works to the degree it does.
It might be that Chris Shelton's had on guests, psychologists, who know why NOTs might work, even though the Hubbard stated reasons NOTs works isn't the reason it works, in the cases it works.
The problem is scientific method just turns Hubbard's mentalism spiritualism into placebo at best, is my ignorant understanding at present.
Science testing would just do the same to Hubbard's "OT" "spiritualism" procedures of Scientology.
I read enough about the review of the Stanford Research Institutes end of their studies statistics disproved the efficacy in the stuff Ingo Swan and Putoff and Targ claimed they achieved. They essentially fudged the statistics, and they were NOT as successful as they claimed, is what I read.
I concluded that there is nothing supernatural, rather there are scientific explanations, and then there are still undiscovered scientific explanations, period.
Ain't no "OT" supernatural powers achievable, so the Hubbard stepladder is bogus, that's the long con, false promising out of the body (FOT book, chapter The Parts of Man give the false promise of exterior to and controlling the body from outside the body even, in 1955!).
Maybe a call to Chris Shelton to dig up which psychologist he's had on his shows to see who would be a good person to ask.
Or Jon Atack, who's had on many times Joe Szimhart. Joe is the one who might know and be able to detailedly agree.
What excellent news! Imagine all the times he's come to and from Saint Hill, and not been spotted.
Just excellent catching his coming and going this year and the recent years.
So, I wonder how other billionaire Scientologists come and go, I guess if more came and went in helicopters, like Tom, they'd provide him some cover.
I think tying to the Staff Pay issue, and the John Brousseau and other Int Base staffers who did things for Tom, sans any pay for that extra work, maybe some nicer chow at Tom's expense, but I doubt Tom is even aware of the Staff Pay issue.
Well, if Tom sticks to the flock, and Tom's reputation is an issue, then tying specifics of the abuses that Tom can influence, the better. Tom and the other billionaire Scientologists might have a tiny bit of heart in their hearts to help raise staff pay at least.
Staff Pay sucks did you know this Tom Cruise! Staff are like slaves, they simply cannot afford the current slave condition pay setups!
Do something Tom Cruise! Stop the abuse. Stop your fake religion's irreligious systemic abuse.
Great intuition UK protesters and Alex.
I wonder what the variety of helicopter landing spots there are, and each year, protesters with signs show up there:
"You Billionaires of Scientology, Do Something? Raise Staff Pay! Stop Scientology's Irreligious Abuses!"
"Only the Billionaire Scientologists Can Raise Staff Pay. Do something you billionaires!"
Mr. Barnes-Ross continues to impress. He has class, tenacity, and goes about his advocacy with intelligence.
I hope he knows how much he is appreciated by the critic community!
How are the Duggans and other whales going to compete with TC? Unless they arrive in a horse drawn carriage or are carried in on the backs of Elephants, who would know how important they are? I am certain that no one is allowed to compete with TC in this area.
