What does $cientology want from you?
The answer is simple. They want your MONEY. They want all the money you
have. Once they have you hooked on their "auditing" (very expensive
counselling techniques sold through high-pressure, false promises and
manipulation), they will expect you to empty your bank account and cash in
all your investments to pay for it. They will expect you to sell everything
you own and give the money to them. It doesn't matter if you only partly own
it, like your home. So long as you have any financial control over its
disposal, they'll find a means of taking it. How can they do this? By
brainwashing you into believing their "religion," which convinces you that
material things are worthless compared to the "total freedom" and spiritual
salvation they alone can deliver.
But all the money you have is not enough for the "church" of $cientology.
Even if you have given them everything you have and have even remortgaged
your home they will still want more. They will pressure and manipulate you
into taking out loans, and even arrrange them for you. They will teach you
what lies to tell to obtain the loans, and will accompany you to make sure
you don't back out of it. They will pressure you into borrowing to the
maximum possible extent. They will insist on going through your finances in
detail to find out everything you earn and everything you spend your money
on. They will work out how you could spend less, such as fewer vacations and
less spent on leisure activities. They will want to know the maximum you can
afford to pay a week in paying off the loan they will pressure you into
taking out. They will arrange for you to get the maximum loan you can
possibly afford to repay, and will take all that money from you. They want
it NOW of course, not tomorrow or next week. If they think you can borrow
$100,000, they will persuade you to take out a bridging loan with your bank.
Forgot the bank's phone number? No problem to a $cientology registrar, well
trained in taking every cent possible from you through high pressure and
psychological manipulation. The $cientology registrar will phone directory
assistance and find out the bank's number for you. He or she will then call
that number and put the phone in your hand while it is still ringing. He
will watch you closely as you talk to the bank manager to arrange the
bridging loan, and tell you exactly what lie to tell when the manager asks
what you need the money for.
But all the money you have and all the money you can borrow is not enough
for $cientology. They will pry further, finding out if you have any trust
funds set up for your children by their grandparents, and whether you have
financial control over them. If so they will arrange for you to cash in
those trust funds and give the money to them. They will tell you exactly
what to say. They will find the phone number of the firm keeping the funds,
then call that number and put the phone in your hand while it is still
ringing, watching you closely as you talk to them.
But all the money you have, all the money you can borrow, and all your
children's money for their future is not enough for the "church" of
$cientology. They will want to know how much your parents will leave you
when they die. They will persuade you to talk to your parents and persuade
them to hand over as much of that money as possible now. Not next year, not
next month, but today. They will ask you for your parents' phone number,
dial that number and put the phone in your hand. They will be scrutinizing
you as you speak to make sure you say the right things to your parents to
get the money from them. And if your parents agree to give you money they
will want it immediately. They will work out a way they can get it
transfered from your parents' account to your account and then to
$cientology in less than an hour. They will have you phone your parents
again if necessary to pressure them into agreement. They say they don't have
a fax? Well what about them phoning up their bank to tell them they are
coming, then taking a taxi there to sign a form for an electronic funds
transfer to your account? Then they'll have you contact your own bank to
find out when the transfer has cleared, and then sign the forms for the
transfer of the money to $cientology's account.
$CIENTOLOGY WANTS YOUR MONEY. ALL OF IT. NOW. And they'll use any and
every lie and trick there is to get it. And if you think you'll ever get
anything of worth from them in exchange for giving all you have, you are an
even bigger sucker than they take you for.
well guess what?......psychiatry is no different whatsoever!
