Another episode from the never-ending flow of inadvertent truths scientology publishes to the world.
The Valley OT Committee is top of the class in this particular endeavor.
Take a look at their latest offering.
First. Who use a photo of someone shoveling shit unless you are offering flood clean up services?
The photo is one thing. The write up hits an entirely new level.
This is the son of Kevin Wilson, who runs Sterling Management Systems WISE company. His mother Barbara runs Valley Org. Kevin had announced HE AND HIS WIFE were joining staff during one of the rah-rah events when fundraising for the white elephant building was going full blast. He never showed up. His wife took one for the team. Seems that son isn’t interested in joining staff either. Wonder why not? Isn’t it the right thing to do? Especially when you have a daddy revenue stream that can subsidize no pay?
I am sure that’s what Barbara tells the people she is trying to recruit to join staff. That they need to put aside their “considerations” and that by joining staff they will make it possible to go St Hill Size and therefore start getting paid. It seems that pitch doesn’t even work on her own family.
But the big reveal in this “success” story (that actually contains NO specifics as to what is so good about being on the OT Committee) is the admission that WISE Companies are a conduit for funneling people onto the Bridge. They deny this repeatedly when they try to force their employees to take WISE (scientology) courses as a condition of their employment “this is secular, and has nothing to do with scientology.”
Yet here he is, saying publicly what everyone inside the bubble of scientology knows only too well. Sterling has FSM’d more than $100 MILLION into scientology. And THAT is the primary reason it exists. To “disseminate the tech” and “get people onto the Bridge.”
This IS what they are proud of. This is why they exist. Despite whatever is said to the contrary when they attempt to avoid liability or bad PR.
Finally, this kid started working at age 14. “Full time.”
Scientology, bringing back the Victorian era of child labor.
OMG, so much money and effort have been expended on the Valley franchise/org/Morg, and STILL it’s a nothing-burger, not even a bun, never mind any meat.
Any Law Enforcement getting this? Might be worth looking into, because I think this strongly hints that a crime took place. Repeatedly. I don’t know if I can post links here, but I’ll just recommend anyone interested to search for DoL (Department of Labor) Child Labor Provisions. They have a very nice summary of the major laws, rules, regulations, and exceptions for child labour in the United States. Especially relevant to this article might be Child Labor Regulation No. 3, 29 C.F.R. § 570.35, which “limits the hours and the times of day that 14- and 15-year-olds may work”. Most of these you would think are common sense for rational, modern adults, but of course, that’s just wog nonsense.
Joshua: As “Religious volunteers”, such WOG regulations mean nothing. As scientologists, such human sacrifice is a religious rite.
Dread the thought of third gen Sea Org grandkids lording over their grandparents’ lives someday.
Great Xenu, save us! When’s the 2nd Wall of Fire coming, and when is the new round of “body-thetans” coming to save earth from all this cosmic freedom Scientology is causing?
Xenu needs to come shower earth with some zillions of banker “body-thetans” to leak money making schemes into Scientologists heads to spur them to make more money to donate to Scientology.
I always wondered maybe LRH is out handling Xenu, to turn Xenu’s powers towards solving Scientology’s money problems.
I got sucked into the cult of Scientology via Leslie Beilhart, a professional scam artist and con woman, going after Chiropractor’s bank accounts.
She ran a WISE consulting scam extortion operation using the “tech” to deceive and extract business professional’s money and time.
The hot tip that cost me $40,000 in consulting fees was to put up boxes at Walmart and other stores and give away free massages.
A complete and utter scam. Just like Scientology.
It sucked me into the cult and I went Clear then OT before I saw enough behind the curtain. I had enough and got out of it before Scientology destroyed me.
If Leslie Beilhart is an example of what Scientology does to a person, I am afraid. She is one lying sack of con.
I see a total lack of introspection or perhaps a complete lie about Chase Wilson’s activities. How can anyone use Sterling Management’s bullshite and expect to ‘prosper’?
I think that Chase’s post is a step a to e. I wonder what he was caught doing? Or not doing?
As an educator, the” working full time at age 14″ really got to me. I don’t think that’s even legal. Wonder how long the statute of limitations is for that.
Legal shmeagal Sherry. I remember when Sterling was routinely being taken to the California Labor Board (and losing each time) for refusing to pay its employees so Kevin could pay himself 10’s of thousands of dollars a month to run the scam.
Remember the adage; “If it isn’t Criminal it isn’t scientology.”
Interesting with his “today’s distractions” that he is of
course not concerned about global warming which
should be the number one as it is his future. Probably
a diehard Trumpist as most implanted scientologists.
Worked for Sterling in 1988. Very bad experience as they just pressure sell at the close.
In 1991 Sterling’s stats took a huge hit as many of the client doctors cut ties with them over the Times article, “The Cult of Greed” came out. One consultant some years after that happened told me they were hemorrhaging money as more doctors were leaving and demanding refunds and repayment of money they had on account There was more money going out to that than there was coming in. They couldn’t make payroll for months, yet told their employees they expected them to stay and work for no money to help pull Sterling out of this. They couldn’t even get a loan from a Scn lending company.
So how is Sterling doing now? Do they actually make money these days?
Reading between the lines, money on account may have been what was keeping them going – meaning that they relied on taking in payments for services they wouldn’t deliver until later (if ever) and spending rather than escrowing the cash, and so weren’re really solvent in accounting terms to begin with, even when they had a lot of doctors signed up.
Money put, and left, on account, is one of the major pieces of the scam, going back to Hubbard’s era and his monthly price increases. Accounts I’ve seen suggest that up to $1 bilion of the CofS’ approximately $3 billion in assets is funds on account that are mostly now long-abandoned, in good part due to Scientology’s cynically calculated policies to make them painfully hard to reclaim.
Right, PeaceMaker. As I see it, MustSavage is all-consumed about money in and has no concern about delivering ANYthing of value to the “parishoners” or anyone else, for that matter.
Infact I just emailed to an editor of HBR ( Harvard Business Review) asking why they didn’t report about a Consultancy group which raised 100 million for its mother organization, over the years ?
No business journal ever reported such achievement ? Why
US Scientologist Chiropractors have so much disposable income ,does IRS knew about it ?
Luckily such claims are made infront of obidient followers ,firmly believe in No Question Ask policy.
Scientologist are living in UTopia and may be they find a refuge in it , as the real world is so real it seems unreal to them.
The shrinking world of Scientologist ” ignorance is bliss”
As a Now-Out, this testimonial comes across as a grift worthy of the Ira Levin tale, “The Stepford Wives.” I, too—while reading this blissful romp through the joys of working full-time at a WISE member company and volunteering on the OT Committee—thought: “Why haven’t you already joined org staff or the Sea Org,” seeing as it is all so great and rewarding and satisfying and the best and on-purpose and all that?
Peridot:
scientology has always been a “Do as I say, not as I do.” type of company. The proper con is to get someone ELSE to do what you dare not.
“Scientology, bringing back the Victorian era of child labor.
”
Even worse than that, as Victorian children were PAID an actual wage. It might have been low, but it was enough to make a real difference for the families. Even with a whole family working, I don’t believe that ANY scn org pays enough for a family to live and eat at all properly. Only those with external sources of funds can survive, and at that, they have to learn to protect those funds from rapacious Registrars, et al.
Yes, what jumped out at me is that at age 14 he started working full-time for his daddy’s company. He has never known anything else. I assume he never finished high school and now he is, as you say, shoveling…
Mike, off the subject, any updates on our friend Ryan Prescott ?
