What were some of your most exhilarating moments while you were still IN ?

[Auditor's Toad]

This was somewhat of a smallish deal, but, I was never much into waiting an a routing form in or out of flag could get long.....leaving could take 3 whole days.

Anyway, I figured out a way to get in a room with no routing form and then a routing form that was just from one place to where I needed to be.

Routing out, I'd just throw the routing form into the nearest out basket and head for the airport.

Lord only knows how many years I did that and got away it.

But, I really didn't do " routing forms " and I loved beating the " system " every time.....let's NOT get into to much much money I spent at flag over the years.

Love that you did that. I was too chicken-shit they'd come after me, waving the damn thing accusing me of blowing. Oh such a putz I was.

I know someone who was at Flag during the beginning of the Basics Armeggedon and his routing form had a big yellow sticker on it to show every person on the routing form that he hadn't yet bought the Basic books. So he got regged by every single person, even the receptionist. He took it off at one point, got caught, and had to put it back. So fucking stupid. He bailed the cult very soon after that and is waiting with baited breath when the whole side-show moves on to Target Two and leaves us alone here on Target One.

The worst that could have happened was they send me to ethics and I'd been there done that more than just a few times.

Or they could have ordered another sec check and that was another been that done that and had the credit card slips to show for it.

I did a call once that said I blew and I said no, I left. Long conversation ensued and I calmly kept repeating it was the time I had said I must leave by and it was agreed upon when I got there and it was the CS trying to break a promise not me.

I said when I got there that I HAD to leave by X date and they agreed to it. On X date I left.

If they had an issue take it up with who didn't keep their word because I sure kept my word.

 

[This is NOT OK !!!!]

Just thought of another one.

When my petition to join the SO was disapproved because I had a toddler. I was so worried he actually might let me join, deep inside I did not really want to, but had so much pressure, another story. (I was already on staff.) When I got the disapproval I had to hide my exhilaration and act like....oh darn. Thank you ED Int !

Well, that kind of worked out well for me and the other kids we have together that you didn't abort, eh?

When John and I decided we weren't going to do staff anymore and were going to leave, we were newlyweds. He used to call me at work and we'd sing "it's beginning to look at lot like Christmas."

Scientology poisoned Christmas.

My best memories are of Christmas before Scientology.

Everything after getting into Scientology was just varying degreees of numbness.

Scientology was like permanently doing the Stations of the Cross.

God I am glad that I am out of that muck.

So, it was YOUR fault, eh?

I'd have been onto that operation like a bull onto a heifer, only that I couldn't do it on 6 mnth checks because they wouldn't give you your materials unless you finished the WHOLE ROTTEN ROUTING FORM!!!!!

I recall, I only had to see the Book store officer and my plane was leaving in an hour, he's in there doing something, looked like a meeting and he signaled for me to go away, I started yelling at the fucker to come to the door right now and sign my routing form, he came and opened the door to argue with me, I told my plane was going and walked in over the top of him, picked up his pen and gave it to him, the poor robot started to ask about what materials I needed, I told him, "Just sign the form mate." Poor bastard, I did tell him if his book store was on a compulsory routing form this might be happening every now and then.

I fell in love. She was beautiful. It was love at first sight.

Eventually, she cut out my heart, stomped on it, and kicked it across the floor.

And that was just the first date.

It went downhill from there.

lol

You must have married the lucky lady?

 

[Oneflewover]

The most exhilarating moment for me was when I realized that I didn't need Scientology, Hubbard, or anything else. That I was self sufficient and just fine. That there was no hidden knowledge I'd be fucked without. That freedom was mine for the taking.

Life is better when you remove the "have to's".

 

[Voltaire's Child]

I think freedom is exhilarating. I'm sure a lot of Christmases were ruined. Thanks for the reply, TAJ.

OK, here was the deal on a 6 mo check. Go see the External DoP in person, ask him to route you to Qual. Ask Qual to route you back to the courseroom. In less than 10 minutes you in the course room from outside the building.
Get out by going back to the External D o P & let him give you a routing form ( and toss it ).

Balls beat the routing form everytime.



You called your buddy the reg and had him tell reception to expect you and have a room ready for you.

the first thing that comes to mind is that feeling I got after working hard on staff all day and studying in the evening, yes, the feeling I got when eventually laying down in my bunk bed, with a wonderful feeling that BED had never felt so good.
It was also somewhere, where I had my own 'space' and was just for me alone (although it was in a larger dormitory).
I remember that it was pretty exhilarating at the time.
Can anybody else relate to that?....

Hi xseaorguk! Yes, I remember how I felt when I was shown my berth at Stonelands and also that time at Flag. I actually said to ?Andrew Cusworth (I think that was his name), "I'm not a rabbit. I can't live in a hutch." He looked at me with some sympathy.

But in a very short time, my bed and the small space around it became my sanctuary, my safe place. I was amazed at the time how that could come to be, having always lived in houses with all the spaces both inside and out that were my domain.

I wouldn't say it was an exhilarating feeling as I lay down to finally drop into the oblivion of sleep, but a sense of utter relief, definitely.

 

[GoNuclear]

Most exhilarating moments while still in???? Getting thrown out in spring of 1980 ... there was a feeling of tremendous let down, but also a feeling of tremendous relief and a realization that I had been wasting a bunch of time, money, and effort.

Next came the ass chewings and ethics conditions. I ignored the ethics conditions. I was invited back without doing any ethics crap. That was a big relief. Then came finally an admission on the part of some staff that "you were right" and that was about the time that the mission was splintering off from the Cof$. But by that point it was pretty much "phuggit."
