Does anyone remember a married couple (but I don't think for long) named Brad and Rebecca. I met her at AOLA in June 1971 and I think I met him in &^ at ASHO? They were from staff from FCDC.
1812 is where the magic happened---forget the scn aspect for a minute. We were young-didn't have a clue-no money-but we had hope [for what -I'm not sure]nd we became very good at what we were doing. There was fun-friendship and accomplishment and of course the hotties.
2125 is where this gang found itself faced with scn and the cos. Too many of our people went to flag-too many sea org missions came-the fun was deleted and we faced the enemy.
We speak English in the FCDC thread scilon.
Yes. Sweigart. I don't know where Rebecca is now, but Brad was out here in L.A. some years ago and remarried to a girl named Kathy. Not sure if he's still in. He was on OT VII, last I knew.

Alan, you did you know John Higginbotham (sp?) He was on staff in DC in the 60's. He had a few wild tails to tell. Abbey Bregman was a Flag registrar last I saw her.

I ask myself that question all the time. All those decades.... The people around me were mostly good, so it blinded me to the fact that the system was created evil. With that education under my belt, I can now see things more clearly.
This is what lrh counted on -- the fact that people are basically good. So he got a bunch of good people together and they all looked around at each other and saw other good people and concluded this must be a good thing, when in fact it was rotten to the core.
Sorry it turned out that way. And I know people will look at this and say, "but the tech...," "but the wins...," "but the people I helped," etc. Yeah. That was me, for more decades than I care to admit. But it's just another booby-trapped dead end. And I don't think it was designed to be anything else.
But you can't really tell anybody that. It's something they really have to find out for themselves, as much as I'd like to try to save them the time and trouble of going through it. It just took me a very long time, because I didn't want to leave any stone unturned before I came to a conclusion about it.
Yes, evil exists in this world. And it's especially insidious when it has a pretty face.

How do I get my next gold star? I see all these people with gold stars and I think woops I am not doing something right. Ofcourse maybe I just have a simple answer for all of Scn's problems...I just ignore the crap. Maybe they could give out blue stars or red? To make us unproductive types "feel" better?

Awesome post Lynn.
I nominate Lynn to the FCDC Hotttie list.
