I think that if one is in the SO, given their track record as to how they treat SO staff and older people in the SO, that one would be far more likely to die alone and in the dark than would any of us here. Only thing is, I wouldn't be glad. That's where this shithead (whom Ax talked to) and I differ.
Sadly Fluffy, I think that this is all too true.
I know of several Sea Org members who continued working at St Hill far beyond the normal retirement age. And if they get chronically ill, staff are quietly given a fitness board and kicked out.
I know of a guy, who very much like George in the video, has been a Scientologist since the 60s and had progressed up the Bridge to OTVII as public. Then, having spent every penny he had earned, joined the Sea Org to help put his ‘shoulder to the wheel’ etc. He ‘knew’ that this was the most ethical thing that he could do.
But, after having been in the Sea Org for a few years, he suffered an accident and was badly injured. Did the CoS use the miraculous Technology at its disposal to restore him to full health or at least ease his suffering? Did they provide a calm and restful environment where he could recuperate? After all, he had devoted several years of his life to serving his church, surely this mandated some care and compassion in return?
No, they gave him a fitness board and threw him out on the street. While still crippled from his injuries, he had to find himself a place in a council-run nursing home, as he had no one to look after him.
The callousness of the cult of Scientology’s behaviour is truly disgusting.
Fortunately, this story has a happy ending of sorts and one, which when I heard it, brought tears to my eyes.
When his ex-wife (divorced because she didn’t want to carry on with Scientology after getting onto the OT levels) heard what had happened to him, she went down to the nursing home and took him back to live with her and helped to nurse him back to health.
Now, he is unable to continue with his Bridge, because he has no money to pay for it (a meagre state pension only because OTs don’t need a private pension do they?) and cannot work because of his injuries. But the worst part is, he still supports the ‘Tech’ and thinks that what happened to him was because he “pulled it in” (actual words).
