Enturbulation X3

unless there is some compelling reason for change, and the trend for
the Church of Scientology is DOWN.
The cults problems have multiplied approximately threefold every year
since the mid 1990's. In other words the collapse of sceintology has
become exponential. The interesting thing about exponential change is
that it appears to most people that nothing much is happening until
everything simply implodes. The collapse of socialism in central
Europe is a good example- years of quiet decay followed by an almighty
bang.
Let us go back just three years.
2007
2007 was a bad year for Sceintology. The worst year since 2006 in
fact...
2007 was the year in which they began to lose their ability to control
the media. On the one hand they succeeded in suppressing the South
Park episode (which is nevertheless available as a Pirate Bay
torrent.) On the other hand their frantic control freakery became the
subject of a BBC Panorama programme- a spectacular own goal.
On the plus side the cult could boast that OSA were truly feared by a
great many people. They had succeeded in destroying the few people who
had ever formed a organisation to oppose them (such as the Cult
Awareness Network and the Lisa McPherson Trust.) Nevertheless they had
failed to stop entheta on the Internet. The cult made great efforts to
appear mainstream by channeling money into the British Labour Party
via one of its front groups.
2007 was the year in which critics moved over to the offensive. Up
until this point the emphasis had always been on defending individual
critics and publicising cult efforts to suppress free speech. The 'old
guard' from the ARSCC continued to picket orgs from time to time.
2008 was the year of Anonymous. A worldwide movement appeared to come
from nowhere to 'raid' orgs worldwide dressed in black suits and Guy
Fawkes masks. In reality Anonymous was not new but simply the result
of everything that had gone before- in particular their hamfisted
attempts to censor the Tom Cruse maniac laughing video.
This was also the year in which the Sea Org began to disintegrate.
Marty Rathburn, Mike Rinder and a number of other top sceintologists
all defect while the remainder live under a reign of terror threat
effectively destroys them. David Miscavige's own niece also goes
public on the abuses going on in the Sea Org.
2008 was also a census year in the USA and from this we learn that the
number of people living in the USA who describe themselves as
sceintologists has fallen from 55,000 in 2001 to a mere 25,000 in
2008. Clear completions and Dianetics book sales are also in steep
decline.
Partly as a result of these factors the CoS fail to oppose Anonymous
until too late. The (now leaderless) OSA send themselves death threats
and make post violent films upon the Internet. These are rapidly
discovered to be fakes and the Co$ is discredited as a result.
2009 was the year in which all of David Miscaviges nightmares come
true. This is the year is which we see the first alternative power
centers emerge. Two main factions are visible. One is centered around
Marty Rathburn and the other around Aaron Saxton. Both of these guys
are former Sea Org members who have their own agenda. These people
have reached out to literaly thousands of former members and Martys
own blog eventually overtakes the Church of Scientology in terms of
hits.
Official investigations, class actions and police raids multiply. Each
of them absorb more of the cults resources so that the cult now
appears to have reached a state of paralysis.
Broadly speaking the problems of the cult appear to have expanded by
about 300% each year.
In 2007 they were manageable and largely self inflicted.
In 2008 they were deeply serious, indicating an organization in steep
decline.
By 2009 the very legality of the cult in France was put in question.
I predict 2010 will make 2009 look rather good for the cult.

I haven't seen anything that Aaron wants to be an alternative power center,
or KSW in any form.
Lots of high ranking people have left before, but what must be giving Davie
hemorrhoids now is that he can't shut them up, make an offer they can't
refuse, or Fair Game them into submission without it causing an ever larger
PR problem.

What problem could they confront?

So, Aaron has a desired to be liked or
admired and a desire for sympathy?

Sorry laser, total non sequitur to me.
From what I have seen of Aaron's videos, he doesn't believe there
to be any worth to the tech in any form, unlike Marty who seems to be
auditing.
Thus there would be no desire to form another clearing power
center.
Marty might very well start his own free zone clearing center
using orthodox standard tech. If he hasn't already.

Aaron could become a flag to rally around. He has a clear stratagy
(outlaw the Sea Org) that could go global.

Aaron has said there is some helpful stuff at the lower levels, but
that it's derivative and not all that special.

DM's real nightmare will happen when they haul him off, as the person
in charge of enforcing past policies of child labor, forced abortions,
operating a ship contaminated with blue asbestos etc.
Until then, I look forward to more people leaving in the New Year,
including another celebrity or two, and many more people becoming
informed before they join up.

I look forward to Tom Cruise joining the FreeZone.
I do not want people to leave clearing behind...
But I would also like to see a joint effort between the
Church and the FreeZone.
A clearing technology Congress.
Slarty
ok. But I can't see that happening, unless my bank has just gotten
too snarky/ I've become prone to demonising due to oh dubs, or some
such. I think the church is for people who are into mind control. @
the same time; what the heck. If "Anything is possible" is not the
correct attitude for a scientologist, I don't know what is.

That was tried by Bill Franks and Alan Walter back in the early 80s
with the Mission Holders Conference at Flag.
Give it up, Homer. Snot ever gonna happen.

clear water to catch all the fish. Squirrels are just muddying it up,
in their search for nuts, and cutting into the cult loon's catch.
Speaking of technology, where is all the new technology that was
supposed to spring forth from the advanced Operating Thetan mind? Are
you telling me, you're going to clear the planet with a ShamWow and
ClearSound? If you're calling that pile of meandering outdated crap
called Dianetics, or the e-meter "clearing technology," you'd do
better with a ShamWow.
There is no such thing as "clear" so clearing the planet is not in the
realm of anyone's reality, unless you are brainwashed, deluded or
mentally ill.

The Church will molt or go out of business and declare
bankruptcy.
Even christian-inanity helps people more for less.

Any1 see what I mean by dogmatic materialism, yet?

Only BT's bash, the thetan is asleep letting the body
run on bank consciousness.
