...As has been mentioned, any student who finishes a course is expected to commit to taking the next one...However, I have not seen that you have to completely or even partially PAY for the next service...
...Then the only hassle that may result is that they do tend to call and call and write and write...
...I hope you give them phony information so that they can't do that. Or open a PO box and later close it with no forwarding address. Something like that...
I am speaking to "ALL". My replies are not just for Esion, they probably already know who he is anyway. But if you are reading this (days, weeks, years) into the future -- they would not know who you are -- and it is mainly to you, who I am directing this -- those just stumbling upon this information.
I don't want nor expect personal replies from Esion or fluffy about this post.
If like Esion, you have made the decision to screw with and deceive scientology, know that OSA's army of Private Investigators (PI's) are not naive. The resources are amazing, and endless -- do not believe "anything" you hear to the contrary (even if trolls attempt to dismiss this reply, or ridicule me).
PI's always travel minimally in two's, and shockingly they're somebody different almost every time, other than your "new best buddy" who may be a plant.
OSA/PI's are not stupid enough to fall for a PO box under a fake name (if that were even legal). OSA's PI's will follow you to the (government or private) post office, they'll watch to see which box you open, talk to the people who work there, fast-talk their way into getting permission to look at your mail, monitor your phone calls, cell phones, text messages, in an effort to ascertain who your connections are. They are extremely proficient, nasty and CIA-like, with unlimited law-enforcement-like resources. They will know "who" you are, there's no way around that, and trying to circumvent it will set off a red flag. They'll know everything about you; look at your trash, what you eat, where you shop, your friends and family. And once you've "ever" dealt with scientology, your life will never be the same, and not for the better.
That said, if you still want to deceive and screw with scientology, read on.
My assumption at this point, is you don't have the money to buy your way up the bridge, in which case they'll want you on staff. Either way, what scientology wants is your "life". I have already mentioned not pre-paying for another course. Plus, I would not "agree" to taking any other courses either. Mainly, just don't sign anything, ever. Because I suspect they'll construe your signature as an IOU, it will just give them one more reason to f*** with you. And that's what scientology does best. But you'd never know it, because they never give you time to read anything, no copies of anything you sign -- they'll say what's the matter don't you "trust" me -- which is just another scientology head-f***. And that's what scientology does best.
But no doubt about it, you can "start" their Communications Course without signing up for a 2nd course, you may even derive some benefits, but they will never "pass" you out of it, "never". And I don't need to hear about any policies on this either. The fact is, they will find a reason to hold you back, until they've gotten their meat-hooks further into you, as shown by pre-payments or further commitments from you. Please prove it out, either way, and report back to this ESMB thread.
If you are particularly difficult, while you're still on the Comm Course, they may pressure you into reading the Keeping scientology Working (KSW) policy. That's part of their indoctrination -- which one way or another, you will be required to embrace scientology above all others, before progressing any further. KSW is the one where your owe your allegiance to scientology, before your job, before even your government. (You can then lie to anybody, as long as it's for scientology's greater good, to achieve these objectives, as mankind's last chance to protect the universe, and in defense of invisible body thetans (BT's), which their stupid-ass OT-3's actually believe.)
As has been stated in this thread, never complain to anybody about scientology, not your friends, not to reges, or the people who harass you with phone calls. Or you will be routed to ethics.
Lastly, lots of people have put you on notice about scientology's reg'ing. I'd like to hear audio tapes of this, as long as it's legal in your location. But if you do this, don't confide about it with "anybody". If you listen to the audio, be sure to do so with headphones. Then one day, put the screws to scientology, and upload the .mp3 audio files of the reging, ethics handles, etc. -- to the Internet. My suggestion would be to procure any such equipment in advance, before getting in touch with scientology. Don't do anything illegal.
