I was not subjected to any fraudulent marketing personally Pits.
Once again you gave me an answer to a question I didn't ask.
It looks as though you passed the Scientology drills that make others think you've answered their questions without having done so.
My inquiry has ZERO to do with your personal experience, unless you got trained up to a level in which you could take customers up through the promised State of Clear on a regular basis. If you did, how many of them attained all of the abilities promised by Hubbard (in his descriptions of a Clear)?
I would guess your answer to that would be ZERO, as you already indicated:
"Clear" as a permanent state might not exist.
Any auditor who purchased Scientology training, with the understanding that he'd be able to Clear people at the end of his training certainly WAS subjected to fraudulent marketing practices.
Any staff member who joined staff with the understanding that "Clearing the planet" was a major objective was fraudulently recruited as well, because in order to "clear the planet" you've got to be able to clear a single individual, and there's no evidence that that accomplishment has ever been achieved or ever will be achieved.
I'm just using the State of Clear as an example here of fraudulent marketing, but there's many other promised abilities as well which have been sold to customers who have paid top dollar for them, but they're rarely if ever achieved.
Outside of the Scientology bubble, when you intentionally sell products and services which you KNOW you don't have the ability to deliver, that's called "fraud". But in Scientology you blame the customer for not getting the promised results. He's PTS Type I, II, III, A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H, I, J, or he's out-ruds, has misunderstood words, false data, or did something out-gradient, or the customer is told that his issue he wants addressed will be handled on the next level, or somewhere higher on the "bridge", or one of a number of other reasons. The common denominator being that nothing is ever wrong with the "tech", it is always something that the customer is responsible for.
