A Few Questions Re: Suppressive Persons, Disconnection, RPF, & Confidentiality
Within the many reviewed materials, a few issues haven’t been addressed ‘head-on’ and I’m appreciative to any/all who might point me in the right direction to find the information sought or provide it by way of response.
I believe I have a handle on the basic path one travels within CO$ - from Book 1 through OT8, with a wide variety of (very expensive) courses which are available/recommended along the way. What I’m not yet up-to-speed on is when certain information is made known to an individual while on the path, how the information is provided to the individual, and how an individual processes the information when it is initially presented. (Questions 1 & 2 below.)
Also, a few friends watched the Investigative Discovery episode that depicted Nancy Many’s awful experiences, and when we discussed the show earlier today, one question popped up that I answered, but I’m wondering now if I was correct. After the RPF in the parking garage (!), the Manys got out of the Sea Org and later ‘rubbed elbows’ with celebrities for a time. That, to my friends, made them wonder why the CO$ ‘rewarded’ them with a ‘cool’ post-RPF assignment. I explained that as far as I knew, once someone completes a stint on the RPF, all other CO$ members believe the person to be fully back in ‘good standing’. (Questions 3 below.)
The last question comes because of something said in one of Tory Magoo’s videos – I’m a HUGE fan – and I haven’t seen the topic addressed/explored in my research. Tory said she wasn’t allowed to tell her husband anything about her dissatisfaction with OT7. Is that how it is between married couples who are going up each level at different rates of speed? If ‘husband’ is on OT4 and hates/doubts it, he can’t tell ‘wife’ who’s still an OT3? And ‘husband’ still couldn’t tell her if ‘wife’ was an OT6? (Questions 4 below.)
Questions #1: When and how was the concept of Suppressive Persons presented? Hubbard’s policy about SPs was read, I presume, (and have seen it quoted here on ESMB and other sites) but at what stage of one’s involvement with CO$ would this generally occur? Did it initially seem like a good idea? Did it ‘feel’ true? If you read an SP Declare on a bulletin board, did it reinforce your opinion that the concept of Suppressive Persons was sensible/correct?
Questions #2: When and how was the concept of Disconnection presented? Hubbard’s policy about Disconnection was read, I presume, (and have seen it quoted here on ESMB and other sites) but at what stage of one’s involvement with CO$ would this generally occur? Did it initially seem like a good idea? Did it ‘feel’ true? If you were encouraged to Disconnect from an SP (who was NOT a family member), did it reinforce your opinion that the concept of Disconnection was sensible/correct?
Questions #3: When an individual returns from a stint at the RPF, do other CO$ members welcome the person back without static? How does a person in CO$ find out someone else is sent to the RPF?
Questions #4: Is it correct to say then, that the ‘no-infringing-on-another’s-“case”-development’ policy also extends to married couples? And if a husband does say something negative, the wife will/does write up a KR? Do children write KRs on parents for such ‘transgressions’?
I'm not asking for ANY personal specifics to be provided and caution those who do respond to remember this is a public forum. I'm allowed to ask questions and you are free to exercise your rights NOT to respond without negative consequences. I'm interested in what was generally understood/practiced by members of CO$ -- and have no intent to cause anyone here further pain by revisiting the past.
I've posted this in "General Discussion" but if a Moderator (or anyone else) believes it belongs in another discussion topic, please move it/let me know and I'll request it be moved.
Thanks,
JB.
