To be a good reg, you had to hold fast to the concept that if you really cared about the person's eternity you would find a way to make them WANT what they were C/Sed to buy.
To be a great reg you cut off any reality about any other aspect of life, nothing mattered but getting them up the bridge as fast as possible. You ignored their concerns about "could I pay it off..." because as soon as they were OT they COULD - of course - no doubt. It was about holding this vision of the public as being completely able to handle anything that came up - as soon as they had their bridge under their belt. It was called focus, being creative in finance, making it go right, caring enough about the PC to make sure they bought what they needed.
The problem is that the promise of OT is false.
The problem is that there is a lot that is VERY important in life, wives, children, homes, financial stability - all of which are on the "other fish to fry" list for an SO member and anyone who has bought into the "clear the planet" BS line.
To come out the other end and find out every reg cycle where I felt like a hero was one where I was an evil doer in fact - because there is no such things as clear or OT. To realise how many lives were sidelined because I recruited someone for the SO or ran an successful program to get HCOs recruiting for staff or crew.
I'm not doing guilt, because I can see the balance and how I was in turn duped, and because wallowing in guilt never improved things. But, please don't think the majority of reges are just sitting their like vultures, looking for their next victim only. I expect there are some who reg and know what they are doing but many are just deluded and operating on the belief that they are doing a service for their PCs and the orgs and therefor for mankind.
