I appreciate all of you for responding!
I have two financial "connections" with the Org that I haven't seen discussed in the many posts and Youtube videos I've watched over the past couple weeks. I don't want to go public with it until I get the situation figured out, but I'd like to get some advice. Is there anyone familiar with the financial side of Scientology who would be willing to PM me? If you're willing, I'd be eternally grateful for the help. For obvious reasons, I only want to communicate with someone who's obviously not a mole (e.g. long post history, making crude comments about the midget, and etc...). I believe there's a chance for criminal charges to be brought against some staff at the state (and potentially federal) level.
Steven - The sad truth about Scientology is that you trusted and Scientology betrayed your trust.
The entire thing is a fraudulent scam.
They very cleverly had you sign legal contracts where you unknowingly gave up your rights to your money.
The staff will say anything to get the stat - they will lie and deceive you.
This is where you have them.
When I was the E/O - the Org was very paranoid about anyone asking for a refund to use the words "fraud, deceit and manipulation".
Here is some advice for those who have money on account for the Bridge:
If you want your money back - send a letter - hand deliver it, send it regular mail and certified.
State you felt manipulated and deceived and that there is no state of clear or OT as described by Hubbard at the time you put money on account for your Bridge. That the Church kept vital information from you regarding the founder, the leader and the Organization.
The leader is sitting on billions of dollars and is not transparent with the money. You feel defrauded. YOU HAVE BEEN!
Copy your mayor, senator, governor, chief of police, Leah Remini and Mike Rinder and anyone else who will expose how they handle the refund.
