So True.
I once pointed out that I had walked in the front door because I had been promised that I would learn tools to make a better life. Once I had learned these things, then I would need to go out INTO LIFE to apply them...wouldn't I? It's like when you take your car to the garage. Once it's fixed, you go away and drive the thing, not spend the rest of your life there.
I recall one of my seniors describing a certain public as a "cleared wog" because he had done his bridge as a professional pc but never went to events or did any of the other "group" stuff. Another public on course who didn't do the whole group contribution thing maintained his stance that he was there to do a service that he'd paid for and that was the end of it. Both of these guys eventually never came back, no doubt after being chased endlessly to change their unpopular viewpoint.
For sure Amadeus, when I was on staff, we used to having 'briefings' at the end of the day, and the way some of the staff spoke about the public, I couldn't even print here, it used to disgust me. I used to tell them to shut up and that if it wasn't for our public we wouldn't be here, but then I'd get screamed at for being too 'woggy' and too 'HE & R'! If the public weren't doing well it was always 'their' fault, they 'weren't applying scientology correctly', or they were.. and this was used a lot.. 'ethics particles'.. oh.. makes me shudder..
