I got a message yesterday from a dentist. Last night I gave him a call and spent the next hour just listening to his horror story, a la scientology. It all started with the Marcus Group, a WISE consulting group. He joined and started taking the usual seminars. Then more high priced seminars and consulting services. I think they got him for something like 60-70 thousand.
Then they introduced him to the auditing. He got soaked at the local org to the tune of 25-30k.
Then the super power reg got her teeth in him. Get this- $100,000 !
Now, some of you are probably going, "What an idiot!"
THAT is not the case. This guy SINCERELY BELIEVED that he was doing a great thing. He really felt that he was helping humanity and the planet.
This is how they get the docs. They play them. Most docs went through all the crap of living broke for years and wading through the litany of mid-terms, finals, clinical competency exams and board certification when their friends from high school and college were buying homes and making money, for one big reason: They wanted to spend their productive years and make their livings by helping people.
The cultists know this. They also go after professionals because they can usually get money.
The sickness of the cultists is that they PREY on the basic goodness in people. This man I spoke with last night said that he felt ashamed, embarrassed and humiliated by his experience. After this betrayal, it is extremely doubtful if this humanitarian will contribute to ANY cause EVER again. And THAT is a shame.
How many people WON’T be helped because of the cult of greed? How many worthwhile causes will go unsupported because of Hubbard’s whacked disdain for humanity?
I hope he will do a video. I told him I would fly there at my own expense just to get his story.
