This article has complete letters and "'KRs" about the treatment of Claire Reppen and it is a hard read.
The thing that is so hard for many to comprehend unless they have experienced it is the attitude that underlies the uncaring and arbitrary decisions that are made. Sickness of any kind is basically 'out ethics' and one is treated like the lowest of the low with little or no understanding of the great distress caused and the courage it takes to survive. I had my own experiences on staff as a serious disease progressed and I know this is how it goes ... this story is so heartbreaking in showing how deep the indoctrination is and what type of heartless remnant of a human is left.

This quote makes me want to vomit, talking about an elderly lady with cancer. She passed away a few months later.
I'm not going to say anything more right now, it makes me too upset. Seeing what my elderly parents endured for decades and losing them a little while back and being unable to help them, well I just won't go there.
It has to change.

Some churches take care of the old — Scientology instead works them to death
We have another disturbing document to share with you today. It contains private details that you may find difficult to read. But the person who brought us the document, the son of its author, wants the public to see what Scientology put his mother through.
Her name was Claire Reppen, and she was well known among our readers who were longtime Scientologists. She was a Class XII auditor, the most technically superior Scientology counselors on the planet, and she worked at the organization’s spiritual mecca in Clearwater, Florida. But Claire eventually fell afoul of Scientology’s leader, David Miscavige (as so many do), and she was sentenced to heavy manual labor at 64 years of age in the Sea Organization’s prison detail, the Rehabilitation Project Force.
She then fell ill. And if there’s one thing you don’t want to be as a dedicated member of Scientology’s Sea Org, it’s advanced in years and sick.

I also have wondered if she is faking being ill – so as to not have to work. I doubt it – but factually her physical universe actions cause me to wonder about that. When I have had elderlies too sick to work they are mostly bedridden, and they dream and postulate about the day they can return to post and serve the group.
