I did not study tech and pay for it either, and I was not told there is a bridge to total freedom in the end.

The only way the horror stories can be corrected, would be if the Sea Org is abololished. Scientology can not survive with out it’s slave labor force. They mantain all the buildings, print out all the materials and press all the CDS at Gold. They work in every aspect of COS. They are the entire work force behind COS, and COS would fail miserably without the Sea Org, because they would never be able to afford any outside help, and would not be able to pay anyone a MINIMUM wage, nor would anyone off the street agree to the atrocities,humiliation,sleep deprivation and other abuses of the Sea Org, and believe the outside Wog World was something to fear.

Outsiders would never sign a million year contract. Unless of course, they were born into it, and their brainwashed parents allowed them to join such an abusive sect or if they were to be BRAINWASHED by the tech, either early on as a child or later on as an adult.

And even if the Sea Org was abolished, it does not erase the years of tragedies, abuses or horror stories.

Time HAS told who is right and who is brainwashed.

For you to ignore actual sworn testimonies by ex members, and to ignore the people you chat with who tell you they know first hand, (like me) and with all the books that are coming out, with more to follow shows a closed mind and that you were taught to ignore anything or anyone critical of COS.
You were taught this, so you will obey, stay and pay.
Pretty simple really.

So no, I don’t agree.

Wow, you are willing to forget the horror stories and the abuses of the elderly , the children, and the other members of the Sea Org, just so you can further your journey in Scientology? To admit that in a public forum, is not only sad, but is shows how selfish one can be if they are told there is a pot of gold at the end waiting for them, and they will throw everything aside, even if it hurts other people, just to get to that pot of gold .

Jim, there is NO pot of gold at the end. Only more sorrow for others and your life savings squandered on something you can’t see or believe.(in your own words)

“you see lots of good, lots of happy people in the Sea Org and you can’t deny the horror stories?”

If you can’t deny the horror stories, does this mean you have experieneced or have seen it first hand?
Read about them perhaps from ex members?
So then you believe there are actual horror stories of Sea Org members? You said you can’t deny the stories. I am curious to hear more about you not denying the horror stories, and if you can’t deny them, why are you supporting them?

Well lets just take this scenario:
If I went into a restuarant and I was having dinner and paying ALOT of money for that dinner on top of it, and I saw a lot of happy workers in the resturant, but then heard from MANY people and also read documented proof that the establishment abused it’s workers and did unspeakable things to them and made them work 80-100 work weeks fo under 1.00 an hour and that they were not following the labor laws set up by my town, I would certainly not pay to eat there any longer, and if I heard of anything that happened to these workers, I would not ony report it to the authorities, I would never spend another dime there, and never go there again.

GET IT NOW JIM???
Why do you keep going back to that restuarant and supporting an establishment that will further harm people, and who are not following the law?
YOU are unabling this cult by staying and paying.

It’s like Wallmart, sure there are some happy workers, but Wallmart is known for mistreating it’s employees, so I don’t shop there.

You may think I am a mean person. But some day you will realize I was trying to help you and others get out of a cult.

Plain and simple Jim…. if someone is brainwashed , then how do they in fact know they are brainwashed?
Isn’t that the point of brainwashing?So the unsuspecting person does not know?

What would be the sense of brainwashing someone, if they knew they were going to get brainwashed or knew they were brainwashed? HUH? It just would’t work.

Do you find yourself saying “the tech works” even though you have doubts. Have you been told the tech works SO many times, that you now believe it works , even without evidence of it working.

Time to pause Jim and THINK for yourself. Not pay for someone to tell you how to think.
It’s a beautiful world out here, come enjoy it.
I wish you a safe exit out of the cult. PEACE
