More proof of just how epic the milestone accomplishments are in the shrinking world of scientology.
Applying standard admin tech to the letter, 13 years after being declared “ideal” and 10 years on from their first “SH Size” declaration, Tampa has been working on their backlogged CF for months and months. Perhaps a year.
It has been heavily promoted and pushed as a top priority for this model org (how it could be “model” when they promote their “squirrel admin” is a question for another day).
For some reason there is always a great deal of attention paid to “getting CF in PT” as opposed to say, getting people into the org and onto services. Or heaven forbid, charity work in the community. Not really my call, but it seems me that more effort paid to trying to expand your customer base is a smarter strategy than effort devoted to filing backlogs of old piece of paper that serve no purpose. Especially when you see the sort of letters that are sent out by illiterate letter regges using thes invaluable central files. “Hello. Wondernig where your on the Bridge and if you is planning to come back sometime soon? ML Tiffany” There is no incremental income generated from all this effort.
But, be that as it may, Tampa has been charging ahead on their “CF Project.”
And how much have they accomplished?
Well, according to this new promotional piece they have now completed, TA DA….
…the letter “A.”
Seriously. This amount of effort and they are through the FIRST LETTER OF THE ALPHABET? At this rate, they will be done with “CF” around 2050.
Way to go model ideal SH size org that is leading the way for the straight up and vertically expanding scientology “movement.”
And of course, Tampa is just ONE.
Bet these guys are almost complete with Aa – Ac. They are shooting to complete the letter “A” before the end of the year.
Let’s gett’er (?) done!!!
OMG thats hillarious. They actually promoted getting letter A done. Target 2 is letter B. So good
I’m not familiar with admin but I assume one of the purposes of CF is to identify and “salvage off line
Scientologists and get the planet cleared”. Yeah, right. Command intention and all that. That’s what the sheeple are led to believe.
Sorry but IMO it’s just about the money. DM will use all the free labor he can get to find and get those very,very few “salvageable” people back in, love bombed and sucked for money for himself.
About 6 months ago I got a letter from the Las Vegas org where I took a couple of courses 35 YEARS AGO and I now live in NJ. My last name starts with “D” so apparently they got their CF updated that far and are following up with letters. Of course the fools always start with “A” and probably pound the same people over and over. Maybe the volunteers would be happier if they could pick a favorite letter.
I can’t help but think of CF projects being like a bee hive. But then I realize that bees actually go out and look for new sources of nectar to store in their hives. Also, they feed on the honey. Working the CF would be like a swarm that only built new comb without ever going out to get more nectar. Well, a swarm of paper wasps would probably be more appropriate.
Doing a CF File Upgrade is so futile I am having trouble
finding a suitable comparable comparison , I will give it a try.
Most have heard of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Here’s one you don’t know, In High School I drove a pickup truck to
school with no gas gauge. I had a horse whip in the cab that I would
stick in the tank to read how wet it got so as to fill up by the time it was within
a half inch of the tip of the whip. It kind of worked and I never ran out
of gas and used a flashlight to read it a night.
Not breaking any laws to not have a gas gauge or have a horse whip
and it seemed to control things just fine. Like empty Ideal orgs some things
that most others have, Scientology omits and operates in an off hand manner.
Like my truck with no gas gauge it worked because of the horsewhip solution.
True story
Perhaps the criminal cult of scientology believes that if they can organize CF, they will uncover contact info for people who did a test or bought a book 30 years ago, and approach them. They are desperate for new members.
A bit off topic but just went through a north east blizzard and was thinking yesterday how wonderful that I didn’t have to explain to the Sup ‘why’ I wouldn’t be driving thru that blizzard to come on course. Oh yeah, for those of you ‘never-ins’, might be hard to comprehend but under ALL circumstances we had to ‘make it go right’ and always show up on course. And if not, straight to the ethics officer. Oh my how insane and yes enjoying my freedom!
Off topic, but can the big beings at Denver Ideal Org ensure that the Broncos hold on to beat New England? it’s going right down to the wire
Non-org Carolina versus Ideal Org Denver in the 50 Big Ones. I know who’s side I’ll be on. And, oh, yeah, Carolina’s coach is an ex-Bear and Denver stuck us with Petulant Jay, so fuck Denver.
Hmm. Well as a Denver fan I DO agree with the Jay Cutler comment
With the all-conquering ideal org on our side we have nothing to worry about.
Yes the NFL should spot Carolina 14 points to make up for this unfair and unconscionable advantage.
It says that WASHBURN ACADEMY helped with getting through A.
I’m not in the know on the tuition charged (perhaps someone has an approximation), but the parents are paying to have their children file paperwork?
I’m all about teaching younger generations the value in volunteering and such, but I question were these kids truly volunteering, being told to do so, counting it as curriculum towards their education etc?
Anyone know or have an intelligent guess?
If the school is truly meant as preparing a student for a life lived in/with the concepts of Scientology, then I guess it fits the bill.
Also, so many hands on PII (Personally Identifiable Information)…I wonder what, if any, measures are taken to ensure confidentiality. I’m sure that’s a laughable question, but a valid one.
I wonder how many hours of children’s labor went into making ‘A’ happen? And how many more for ‘B’ is yet to come?
It does strike me as another point of the shrinking size when they have to get students in to assist. Where are the millions of members?
Wondering where all the Sea Org have been for years for the files to get into that state? HahahahahH
Oh, John, it’s a management system tech alright. But, it’s a fairytale management system tech.
Another unbelievable amount of work is probably needed to file all the ethics dept. paperwork generated in the cult now. I remember back in the late 80’s at Flag the public were allowed to help with the ethics file backlogs and also help to FES pc/ot folders. I worked in both areas as a public and there were stacks and stacks of unfiled KRs, chits, conditions write-ups, etc. in the ethics filing room. Actually John Travolta’s ethics folders were sitting right there on the top of the file cabinets and I was really so tempted to take a peek in there but decided not to look. It would have been so easy to do it, too. Nowadays it is probably forbidden to have any non-SO filing in ethics. LOL Just image all the miles of piles of ethics crap needing to be filed now. My guess is that it’s worse than the CF project but we just don’t hear about it.
Oh my … I do there are no new starts in Tampa named, say, John Adams.
Meaning “I do hope there are no … ” (Apologies for the omission. Am still reeling over the fact that they’ve just gotten through the A’s.)
I think a good start would be to start transferring it all to floppy drives.
I think you might mean copying it from punch cards to magnetic tape and then finally to 8″ floppy disks and then finally 5 3/4″ disks.
Hubbard has never never been a patron. He just wanted to remain a guru giving orders, hoping they could be applied. That’s exactly what others gurtus pretending be God (christ…) or the speakers of god (Muhammad etc) said. INsane people with insane will of annihilation of any human not “obeying” their insane will.
And when/if they’re finally done with CF, then what? Write them all little good roads, good weather letters?
“Hi, how are you! Haven’t seen you in a while. Come on in to the Org!” And then of course, this Elvis Presley
song comes to mind “♪♪ Return to sender, address unknown ♪♪”. I’d be surprised if 0.00001% of those in CF will ever have anything to do with the COS again. So run down to your local org and spend lots of time organizing those central files!
That is so funny……actually they are probably still sending letters to Elvis too
Just following “Command Intention” Sir!!!
Here’s the whole problem with Admin Tech: it doesn’t scale. Specifically, it doesn’t scale downward. The Org Board has to have enough trained people to fill it, yet no org, not even Flog, has enough people to fill it. Hence, you get “important functions” being filled by incompetent individuals and posts being “held from above”, where those posts get zero priority. And everyone wonders why a Scientology org is no better than a mammoth clusterfuck and disaster waiting to happen.
Central Files is supposed to be the “brain” of an org, yet they treat it as an afterthought. That’s the fault of the person who put responsibility for CF near the bottom of the Org Board. And who was that? Oh, yeah, it was Hubbard.
I have the impression that LRH didn’t believe in the KISS Principle.
Excellent point, Espiando. The irony is, the church loves to promote the wonders of the org board and how it scales from 1 to millions! Anything between 2 and a couple of hundred and its unworkable.
Having held exec posts in a Class V org, some with no juniors, its almost instant overwhelm when you discover you’re responsible for about 50 different activities.
Since we’re talking about people who seemingly don’t mind re-doing things over and over again, they should consider ditching the CF project and going back to kindergarten. They make faster progress on the alphabet.
Hi edge, Loved your post. Kindergarten! Perfect for the cultees’ now!Love, Ann
Hi Mike, I am still howling with laughter over the letter reg letter from Tiffany. Other wise my coffee would be cold fron tears regarding the education level seen now.In my humble opinion I think the whole CF file project is an eternal medieval torture that never ends.It is pulled from the mind of some mad monk who messed up his calligraphy!! Still the same as it ever was.The thing is I see now that Scientology is Never in PT,because they so missed the web by over one billion miles!!
So I go to turn on the shower this am and there in the stall- you guessed it beans & franks! I’m sending Walter to OSD’s for an extended vacation.OSD he is really good at yard work and perfectionism within your landscaping! Laughter! Love, Ann.
Obsolete, outdated and useless system as you said it Mike. Basically…going nowhere.
This is a splendid testament to the primitive and backwards approach every COS org uses to “organize” their communication. I’m betting that none of them use any kind of CRM software (Customer Relationship Management) which would better organize their CF and make it easily accessible to every staff member. The COS is truly the Amish of administrative systems.
Amish of Administrative Systems…I like it:)
You also have to realize that once you’re name is in CF it’s almost impossible to remove it. You can move to a different state, get married, change your name, etc. you will remain a “prospect”. The most effective ways to remove your name is 1) threaten legal, or 2) die.
Hubbard refers to CF as a “goldmine”. Yet, I don’t know any org that has demonstrated that. Nevertheless, they will continue to go through the motions, writing childish letters, sending unwanted promo, sending the org mag. At my org, the vast majority of the addresses were incorrect, yet they would continue to burn money every week, ’cause that’s what LRH said to do.
We once postmarked our letters with an address update request, where “Not at this address” letters would be returned to the post office. I believe it cost 50 cents per returned item. The post office notified us that they had thousands of them for us. And of course, the org didn’t have the money to pay for them so they sat there, and I believed they were destroyed. Afterwards, the resumed the insanity of sending letters to bad addresses.
It’s easy and fun to get your name off Co$ mailing lists. Simply find a BRE (business reply envelope) in the promo with the Co$ address on it, write your name and address on it with the words “take me off your lists” and tape it to an ordinary red brick, then take it to the Post Office and mail it. Under the Post Office rules, recipients are required to pay for the BRE delivery, and it’s charged by weight. These days, probably about $40. If they won’t pay, no BRE privileges. INSTANT REMOVAL! And they send word to other Orgs, and they update THAT CF item immediately. Good, clean fun. I haven’t gotten a single piece of promo for YEARS.
James Hollingsworth- I asked my relation who is a recently retired post office worker of 37 years about this method, as you’ve posted it (or someone else did) once before that I know of. Within the last several months.
While she confirmed the if you can’t pay there is the potential for having your stamps license revoked, but if it was something like this it could clearly be disputed and won. She said if a P.O. Was to do that with a brick they ‘could’ get in lots of trouble while the addressed agency likely wouldn’t be charged. She also said That they shouldn’t be accepting anything that doesn’t fit within the envelope provided for pre-paid Mail containers or envelopes.
I thought your idea was an interesting concept, but she said most wouldn’t take it.
Just one random postal workers opine.
Prepharation H (Hubbard): whatever you put this stuff on, IT’S GONNA SHRINK! Bank accounts, families, free time, circle of friends, businesses, etc. Just look how the Co$ is shrinking…. IT WORKS!
Speaking of the Amish – I wonder if scn will become a bit like them and retreat into village like sects in LA and Clearwater. The Amish are certainly aware of the outside world but choose to reject it. Scientologists would drive cars and have real world jobs but reject the internet and stay immersed in their “scriptures”.
My wife and I took a tour of a mocked up Amish village in Lancaster, PA. The guide explained that some sects of Amish allow young adults to go out into the outside world for a year and then welcome them back if they return. The guide explained that a surprising percentage (I don’t recall the exact percentage) do return. Probably no hope of that in scn.
I’m dumbfounded. In 2011 my daughter was sent to Flag as part of the AOAF Trainee project. Instead of getting on with her studies she was put to work – and one of the projects she worked on was…………..the Tampa Org CF Project!!.
She (along with virtually every other AO Trainee at Flag) went to Tampa every day and worked on CF for MONTHS. There were bus-loads of outer-org students being sent to Tampa as the CF had to be 100% in PT before their grand opening.
So you’re telling me not even five years later they’re at it again and only just done with A????
I was thankful for the CF project. I would go down there in the basement all by my lonesome and eat my lunch in peace. No regges or recruiters went down there. I would emerge just in time to make roll call for study upstairs. It was the only safe space in the org ! Keep those CF projects moving you morons !!
Hi Steph in Bow, Good to meet you. I understand the side of CF you saw too. I knew Asho’s so well I could take my coffee and whatever Ron book I had going at the time and read in peace-got a few minutes at least.No-one in the files at all during those times.Love,Ann.
?
Let me make some math:
Presorting all particles A to Z. If one is good 1000 particles the hour are no problem. But let us say one lazy person works 5 hours a day with 500 the hour particles presorted 2500 a day. 6 days a week makes 15.000, 4 weeks 60.000.
Then fine presorting each letter A to Z. Takes longer. So I count 250 the hour. He needs now 2 month to fine sort.
Then he has another 10 month to actually file those particles into the folders. But that would be much too long. So if he works just a little bit harder he can make that within the next 3 month.
In a full year one person 5 hours a day (not very typical schedule for a staff member) one person can file 120.000 particles a year.
But if he is very lazy and it takes 7 month then one person can make 60.000 a year.
Effectiveness is reduced by amount of persons working on that project same time. If you make a 3 shift system then 3 persons can file 180.000 to 360.000 particles a year.
So, one year of normal planning and execution would be enough to have it done.
Even if they would hire for normal wage it would cost (I do not know the normal worker pay these days in the US) as a guess one person a year you can hire for 30.000 dollar for that kind of work.
100.000 dollar one year and done.
Minimum age here in the States is between 8-10$/hr. Assuming a 40-hour work week, a year’s wages would be about 20,000$/year at that rate. You could get college students and people,with at least a GED or high school diploma to do it. 30,000 would be a decent wage in many places although I don’t know how well one can live in Tampa Bay or,the surrounding area on that income.
It would be worth the money spent if one wealthy fish could be hooked and spend $500,000 on the bridge to nowhere. DM would of course be the recipient of the money. It’s the same game elron played, anything to get money to flow to the top.
Thanks, Atlanta, but I’m much happier being *apart* of the action than I would be as *a part* of the action. You just keep on having fun pushing all that paper around.
An Objectivist with a Piled Higher and Deeper degree once said:
“Actually, I am incapable of error. Wait, that’s mistaken.”
Why do they start at the front of the alphabet? If they started with ZZ and worked back through it would be a lot faster to get a few letters under their belts. That may be changing though as they are getting more Zymowskis in the church (Hi Tiffany!) these days but at least their addresses are current. I hate to break it to them but discovering in the files that LRH’s reply (all the way from Target 2) to the letter Aaron Aadams sent to Ron in 1989 was returned because of insufficient postage and it might be hard to re-deliver at this stage..
LRH CF technology has been over run with larger problems
that are ignored .
Hey, who wants to hear some Atlanta news?
They are screwed; it is looking like an international flop. Atlanta is slated to be the only ideal org opening before LRH’s birthday. (March 13) Wow, so much international expansion that only ONE org is opening in the first quarter of the year. What a milestone.
Anyways they need the following two items:
-10,000 man-hours on the central files. (I’ll have you know, Mr. Rinder, they are on letter C, not A, thank you very much)
– and 100 more staff (the weekly amount of traffic the org gets, or BIS/bodies in the shop, is 50)
All of that in less than a month. However, INT management has not fully forsaken Atlanta yet.
They have turned this place into a mini-Sea Org base.
There are currently 22 SO staff here; 14 of which are recruiters. Apparently, more on the way.
They have even sent a man by the name of Don Drader, who I think is VP WISE Int or something insane like that, working on field activation. Talk about a waste of resources.
It really is sad to see so many people working themselves to the bone over something so greedy and corrupt. You should see how elated and excited people are when they are reminded that COB is coming and is grateful for their indentured servitude. Sad
-N
Be a part, not be apart. Ugh.
Illiteracy seems to be a commen symptom.
I was called, chewed out and reports written up for finally destroying 20 year old boxes of Anchorage Mission files left in my loft for a couple years. I asked the Mission holder to come get them at least a couple times, no result so fuck it I finally burned them one day cleaning out my loft… lol.
Just had to laugh at this one, Mike. Especially the sample “letter by Tiffany”. Years ago, while visiting SH, I had some spare time and was asked to dictate Letters Out to be typed by others and sent. As I had pretty good diction and could speak rapidly, I compiled a lot of recordings. In every single file, I found dozens of “Tiffany” type letters. But digging into each folder, I only looked for the last time the person had actually communicated with SH. In EVERY SINGLE CASE I found that in that last communication, a question had been asked which had subsequently NEVER BEEN ANSWERED! I got the correct answers from wherever I could and responded to them.
After returning home, I got letters from SH begging me to come back to be on staff as both their Letters Out and, subsequently, their Letters In stats had gone through the roof, well into Power. Isn’t it odd that the first thing taught in scio, the communication formula, was being utterly ignored? I would bet that hasn’t altered one bit!
@thegman77 interesting. When I was a BC supervisor, I would respond to all letters I received in my in basket the day I got them. Sad, but in my mind back then, I pictured LRH getting his stack of daily letters and dashing off a cheery reply just like I was doing with the people I communicated with.
Hi Valerie, Do you know I did the exact same thing re: Ron dashing me a cheery reply on so1 line. Did that for four years! I also tried to always answer a question that came to me in letters. I felt that was very important. With no instant e-mail or face-time then, I wanted to find out as much as I could about the person who wrote me as I could, but it all had to be accomplished quickly.Letters in- letters out Thurs@ 2:00!Love, Ann.
I’d ahzzard to guess a great many questions are ignored. Unfortunately, next to zero attention is given to quality of outflow comm; it’s all about “outflow = inflow”. So just keep out-flowing regardless of the content. I recall responding to a letter with a comment/question back in early 80’s. My question was along the lines of “I see practically all the staff here smoke cigarettes. Why do you suppose that is?” I was under the impression that rational people wouldn’t be in need of or at effect of such a mundane item as cigarettes. It was a legitimate, sincere concern at the time. Several YEARS later my question was acked, (“Yes, I’ve noticed that too.”) but not answered. By then I’d re-started smoking yet again; “what the hell, it’s just a body, and besides, LRH smokes Camels” or so went the justification — guess I was pretty PTS by then! Fortunately, I quit again for good some time later.
I have all kinds of commendations and still ended up being an SP. Wtf??
I don’t know, Fred, M/Us? Overts? CI? Bad thoughts about the evil dwarf? Bad thoughts about the greatest human ever to walk on planet Teegeeack? Or…is it just an extremely toxic, vicious & evil cult that imprisons its own members and forces SO females to get abortions when they get pregnant? I’m going to go out on a limb and say it the latter.
That’s a very long line and I think a criteria to getting declared.
The New Normal S.P. Declares
1. Not giving one million dollars to the IAS
2. Sponsor a ramshackle falling apart building for an Ideal Org.
3. Being off the Miscavige RADAR and upstat.
4. Being ON the Miscavige RADAR and upstat.
Just think of your SP Declare as a diploma.
Dear Tiffany,
About halfway across the Verrazono and will be back sometime later in the day. Thanks for asking.
GFY,
Amy
Seriously, what? This is just nuts. I can’t believe my eyes. Are these people out of their fucking minds? If I was a Scientologist, I would die of mortal embarrassment. Filing paperwork is Scientology’s highest order religious sacrament, and yet they absolutely suck at it. It’s one thing to pursue idiotic, pointless goals, and yet another thing to fail at it over and over and over again.
But, but, hgc10, it’s just so much fun to watch them disintegrate right in front of us!
Or you might die of something else. A few years ago a group of church member from New York set up an illegal business (no licenses, no tax records). The business was on the property of a city Councilman that covered up for them to protect his rent income. The councilman died a year ago a nasty medical assisted painful death in a hospital in Summit, NJ. With his death goes the last written vestiges of any trouble the Church of Scientology brought here to this town and to me. Jennifer McDonald Cox the DSA NY (as seen in many Anonymous videos on line) was this deceased councilman’s tenant (one of them). Anonymous calls her shark teeth because all her teeth are green and mottled. She used to spy on me when she worked there before she became DSA. Showing up in town, saying things to me. Arguing with me about my rights and my involvement with the church. It proves that the church hires ANYBODY that can make them money, not people that better the world (her and other church members worked under the table there for years and fooled most people in this town with their famous spending). For the new year, it sure is nice to be welcome in my town everywhere I need and want to go. Charles, enjoy your new life, somewhere, courtesy of your implants. Jennifer it is a pleasure seeing you try to handle 5,000 New York Anonymous with a Dianetics book and no Org to route them to. My nice way of saying F*** Y** and Good Riddance to the both of them. 🙂
Actually it’s “git-r-done.” I guess that’s funny because they can’t even misspell words correctly.
That would be amazing if they finally located my missing account, student, staff and pc folders that OSA cannot seem to find either. Tampa Org might be as good a place as any to look or for them to turn up at. Perhaps they are weeding out all declared SP’s files for security leak reasons. 🙂
@Lawrence, at this point wouldn’t it just be easier to just find the few who were truly active?
I made a snarky reply to someone and it made me realize the true purpose of all the endless CF projects.
These projects are done to make the remaining few people who are still in feel as though there are more members than there are because there are so many files.
Thank you, you are a true being! 🙂
I wonder if Flag still imposes on their OT VII’s, “Participation.” Every six months you’d have to write down what you did to “Participate.” Helping out with CF was one of things that was “allowed” as “Participation.” I guess there aren’t enough people auditing on VII or scientologists in the field who want to help “Clear the Planet” with this vital necessity of getting CF’s completed. So glad I’m done with this shit.
Happy football day all of free beings out here. Go Broncos!
Hi McCarran,Thank you another great post! I need your backup with the Broncos. So much Patriot testosterone flying around this house! My cat says Go Saints! Love U, Ann.
Ann, we are a Broncos household here. Taco soup in the crockpot, desserts all ready. We will push it from here to there.
Funny Broncos Story: Last time I went to a live Broncos game, a kid walking behind us said to his dad “I hate the Vikings”. Dad said “now son, hare is a strong word, we save that for the patriots.”
Hi Valerie, Love your post, your food and your team, Walter is already moaning and groaning about Brady’s two interceptions. I just smile.Love & get em Broncos…please I have enough cans of you know what around here Laughter! Love, Ann.
That’s funny Valerie. ?
How’d I do with those Broncos Ann. ?
You’re welcome.?
Now for my next act …
Hi McCarran, You did great with the Broncos! Wiped the floor with the Patriots! You would have laughed at the antics here the last few minutes of the game. I am jumping up and down, yelling for the Broncos. Walter is in his chair swearing at the screen and Jade the Siamese cat is yowling up a storm! Actually he took it pretty well.As he says at 65 he has seen a lot of Super Bowls.We had fun with our bet though.I was just thinking McCarran there were no three hip hip hoorays to be heard at our abode. That was blissful.I will be waiting for your next act….Love U, Ann.
And Mike … regarding your comment about 2050 … think about it … by the time the D’s are complete in 2018, there will be lots more As and Bs and Cs to file … it’s a WHEEL! … the great CF game of life … it’s like re-doing the bottom of the bridge … you just start again! (there’s a cog in here somewhere … this is really the “paper cause resurgence rundown” … yes, this will be a VITAL paid case step soon … it’s really an OT action … cause over the alphabet)
They file also death file and already death people .. and people who came never back .. and names of people who had never lived on this planet .. best is that Tony Kongo is filled as Tonia Kongo .. Tom Combo .. Tonia Combo .. a person who never lived here ..
Wonder how Tom is doing with his volunteering…. You know dislexia mske s filing hard! Oh damn I forgot he just gets to beat someone to do his volunteering for him
I like the inspirational messages taped to the wall in the Atlanta shot. Does that really say “Marry Up”?
Same thing I read when I saw it. Hilarious if that’s what it really says.
They should add another sign under it so it reads: “Marry Up. Our electric bill is due.”
Good gracious! It does say Marry Up! But they better not look up, one tile is missing and the ceiling looks like it will fall…a good parallel to all of Co$
Yes it does. I think the meaning is that redundant files for the same person under multiple misspellings of the name should be combined.
Oh no if you marry up your husband/wife may be wealthy enough to donate some IT kit to your org so you never have to do CF again……. Ah but……
Great posting. The COS loves to be busy, frantically busy, oppressively demonstrating “speed of particle flow alone determines power.” performing meaningless actions like putting CF into PT or calling in people who have been contacted numerous times already or body routing, or filling out VITAL, VITAL TARGETS, NOW, NOW, NOW.
The concept of contacting a qualified prospect who could benefit from Scientology in a non-threatening, relaxed way and introducing him to study tech or auditing or TR’s is fully out of their scope of understanding.
If LRH wrote a bulletin that said that running around in a circle would bring folks into the orgs in droves, you’d see staff running around in circles, word clearing running around in circles, drilling running around in circles, targeting running around in circles, implementing penalties for people not running around in circles enough, and sending folks to train on being Fully Interned on running around in circles IN SPITE OF NO ONE COMING INTO THE ORGS.
And this is probably a good thing.
What makes this even funnier is that “LRH” literally does have people wrapping their minds around the necessity to run around in circles with some sort of whole track explanation about the pole in the middle.
Running around in circles? That’s Super Power. You can’t do that for free. Gotta pay the big bucks, go to flag and do it in the dark running around a pole.
Mike, what you obviously fail to realize is how much freakin’ FUN the CF project is. It is the absolute BEST thing going now in Scientology. Complete it? Are you MAD, brother? Complete the freakin’ BEST game going? My org started its CF project in 1971 and it is STILL GOING ON!!! (no joke – it’s true) And with chill music AND snacks! And best of all … you don’t have to pay anything! Free 3D fun and case gain! May the high tone fun never end! Pass that manilla folder over there please … by the way, do you think the Slabobnicks still have the same address as they had in 1973? I want to send them a letter and ask why they blew HQS.
Hi Joe Pendleton, I adore your post. Lost in the Manila folders again and you can get that lovely paper dust throat too for all eternity! Love U,Ann.
Thank you Ann B, and … right back at ya’ kid! Hope you are having a great day today, my friend.
Hi Joe Pendleton, Back from the docs and so perfect to see your post.I am having a good day, and even better for hearing from you! Love,Ann.
The endless counting and sorting of CF reminds me of a few lines from a Beatle’s song:
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
…It doesn’t matter if you count them or sort them. It’s totally useless knowledge.
And these guys try and promote a management system tech?
“Snicker*
