You know, when I was in Scientology, I assumed that those in the top echelons of management must be the most spiritually-evolved people on the planet. They must all be operating thetans, exterior to their bodies, and "theta". Yes, they could be ruthless in THE CAUSE, when they needed to be to make things go right, but they must be decent, honest, ethical, basically caring people.
When I watch stuff like this, I wonder how someone in OSA sitting monitoring this board can justify in their own minds what they see. Sure, they can initially assume that everyone on this board is a lying SP, and that the stories are all made up. But when they see similar behaviour going on around them, and see senior execs behaving like crazies (which they surely must at some point), then it mustn't take them long to conclude that at least some of these stories are true. How can they still be in there?
I know I wouldn't have stayed five minutes, once I concluded that the top echelons of management were nuts. I began to surmise that that must be the case from my vantage point in a lowly Class V Org, and that was enough to set me on the path out. I don't think I would have stayed even as long as I did if I had witnessed with my own eyes that the top execs in Scientology were nuts. People in OSA must have far more data points from which to draw conclusions than most of us had.
I wonder whether they are still sitting there with the original dreams of OT that get us sucked into the organisation? Or have they abandoned those dreams, and now they just see themselves as climbing up the greasy pole of the organisation that they happen to have devoted their lives to. Could have been accountants or lawyers or doctors, but they happen to be Int Execs or church middle management?
That was a clever strategy to get out. Hat off to the guy,
