In another thread, Little Bear Victor brought up something about DM. He said, "These days he acts like LRH advices are god's word."
It made me think about the LRH advices that I've read and some that I've heard that I haven't actually read.
If you haven't been in the SO, you might not be that familiar with the "backroom orders" from LRH. These go under an umbrella called "advices". Sometimes they are dispatches, sometimes they are telexes, sometimes they are notes taken by messengers following him around.
If you have been privy to reading many of them, I can guarantee that you would have a much different view of LRH than you get just from reading the published policies. Policies are generally written for "public view", and as such, are made to be as palatable and as sane sounding as possible, for the most part.
Even the policies where he sounds the most insane, pale beside how he sounds in these "advices".
As an example, LRH policy says "you always pay for and take care of the staff".
However, I remember reading an advice where he was blasting the "inadequate" amount of money the orgs were sending uplines. The advice said something about "ripping the money out of the orgs...I don't care where you take the money from, as long as it isn't from promotion."
Another example:
You guys might remember the "List 1 R/S" era. Supposedly, LRH "discovered" that List 1s were being "incorrectly called" and came in to save the day.
Guess what? I saw the advices/dispatches from that time period. He was running the whole thing via the CMO. He was totally behind it, and made many derogatory comments about the "R/Sers".
Senior Management, no matter what they say, run more on these "advices" than they do on standard, basic and (at least somewhat) sane policy.
Anyone remember any more "advices"?
I'm sure you guys who used to be at Int have seen a lot of them.
