Bill Franks: "..about three in the morning, and of course, I was Director of Training, and Mayo was the Senior C/S and we were both in his room, and, ahhh, on the tween decks, on the Apollo, and a messenger came down with a dispatch from Hubbard. What the, what the dispatch said totally amazed both of us. What is said, essentially was:
"People don't leave, in his words "blow,"
They don't blow due to overts and witholds,
they blow when they are ARC Broken."
That means affinity, reality, communication are broken, that means when they are upset in non scientology terms. Just plain upset.
He said, You, Franks and Mayo are never to speak a word of this to anyone, if anyone were to find out, I would lose control of all of our public and all of our organizations." and then a few other threats and "best Ron"...
(Tom Smith comment omitted as it went right back to this)
Mayo and I looked at one another, and this whole thing, it holds together, 80% at least, is the basic premise of all Scientology, at least 80%, and Here he (Hubbard) is just blithely saying
"It's all bullshit guys"
We were absolutely flabbergasted,
Tom Smith: Do you recall who the messenger was?
Yeah, Clair Popam.(spelling?)
