Terrorist Attacks and The Volunteer Minister Scam
Having helped OSA for 20 years, I am VERY familiar with the Volunteer
Minister Scam.
It was one of my favorite things until I began realizing what the
*real* purpose of it was.
I thought it was to help people. Since that was WHY I got into
Scientology,®
I was always willing to go assist.
Just as in NYC now, we would head out to spread the word. During the
earthquake, we went to parks, brought clothes, and passed out "Way
to Happiness" booklets.
But having worked closely with Scientology in PR, I began to see it
ALL revolved around what they call, "the PR value". If they
got press, they were happy. If they didn't get any press, they were
very unhappy. If it got us 'in' with someone important -- again, they
were happy. This gave it PR value. They actually have points for all
of this and grade actions so they can report their stats.
What about people who really needed help?
If they didn't have money, or PR value: "to hell with 'um"
basically.
Like in NY where they SAY they are now becoming "Opinion Leaders"
where others are beginning to use them, and ask them to "hat"
others: this was always their dream.
But again: why? So they can truly help people? The public may
think so yet truthfully it is all about the PR value of L Ron
Hubbard's name. Kay Connally is in charge of RPR. (See
http://www.xenu.net/archive/personal_story/tory/osa101-2.html
for some background on Kay Connally.)
RPR stands for Ron's Public Relations Office.
It is an entire unit set up to create good PR and images of L Ron
Hubbard. If there is ANYTHING said about Hubbard that is bad (using
his name) they lose TONS of "stats."
So of course, they having the "1 800 for Truth" telephone number
right under the President had to give a lot of people "libs"
this week-end. What goes down afterwards we'll have to wait and see.
But for these phonies who have endlessly attacked "psych's" and
mental health consulants to now say they are themselves consultants
is unbelievable to me. Considering I personally (just ONE ex-
Scientologist now) know 4 young men who KILLED themsleves (all
with one thing in common: they wanted out of Scientology)
And I know 3 people who literally went insain due to their upper
level nonsense - one who just recently sadly took his life. And I
who know countless people who have just suddenly died once on NOTS!
Do I feel a responsibility to SCREAM:
THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT MENTAL HEALTH ANYTHINGS!?
You bet I do.
It's a scam from beginning to end. Sure many of the people helping
truly are trying to help, and that is not what I am talking about.
But for the exec's running this scam, and many of the OSA bots who
have been around long enough to know the above is true -- shame on
all of you!
Quit scamming and start living.
