It is now past 2 pm - stat time in the cult.
Has truth evader upped his stats?? Is surferdude handling things according to his script??
The really funny thing is - here in the Real world - Thursday 2pm comes and goes with barely a notice...middle of the afternoon - work still to be done ...start looking forward to dinner....planning the evening with family or friends....thinking about the weekend and what is planned....
Such a great feeling to be able to plan and think ahead without worrying about some artificial stat.
Keep the hamster wheels turning boys - don't step off, don't look away you will lose the rythmn... keep your head down and that little nose to the grindstone - don't look at the bridge -(you might notice that it leads nowhere) Don't notice the door ( it leads you to the way OUT)
Whatever you do do not question anything and don't try and think for yourself - Hubbard has discovered ALL you need to be truly free - don't ask questions, don't doubt, don't look at anything that Hubbard did not write. Get your stats up and keep em up - don't think about anything else ...
What a way to waste a life..always worrying about some irrelevent stat (how many letters this week? how many posts? how many raw meat? how many books sold, courses, how many hours of auditing?
How about this stat: How many hours did you have to do nothing but enjoy doing nothing? Spending time playing with your kids? or just reading a novel for the sheer joy of reading?

My main stats were Bodies in the Shop (BIS: Public in the org and on some sort of service or service line. B-day game stat), Number of Books Sold to Raw Public (NBSRAW B-day game stat) and New Names to Central Files (NNCF Bday-game stat). To top that off BIS and NNCF were stats that the CO/ED had to report as well... lucky me. I also had a stat for Number of Introductory Services Completed (NISC B-day game stat). Yeah, I was the personality test person.
Well theres another guy 2000 miles away from me that worked at Bridge Publications named Anderas (pronounced 'Ahn-drahsh). Difficult fellow to understand. And when its 1:00pm on a Thursday and I have my Senior scheming for ways to push the stats up a point or two, like clockwork, "Andras, line two."
Andras' stats have something to do with books sales for the entire west US. When asking what my RAW stat was I'd either get a "good. continue." or I'd have to listen to him read some sort of PL like Make it Go Right or something like that. Normally when this was going on there were a few dozen other things I should be doing.
After trying to hurry him off the phone I had to go over a list with my senior and scan and re-scan for anyone else who would qualify as a BIS. More than once the results were questionable. Then I would open up my bottom drawer and pull out a stack of papers that I would check against Central Files computer database. If they werent already in the files then i would cut their name out and make a folder for them. I would continue this routine till I was upstat. Then I'd put the pile of names back into my drawer for next week.
So, much like Peter from Office Space, I have 5 different people barking at me for stats at once. Plus trying to service and public that may be in the org at that time. Sometimes those Personality Test interviews last a long ass time. Sometiems you have 3 people testing, two waiting for their test results and two people watching Orientation... and its 1:45pm.
""It's ALMOST 2:00 DAMN IT, and YOUUUUUUUUU need to get the STATS UP!!!"
I got that a lot of times but after a while I started yeling back. Several times I would give my senior a death stare and say "Dude..please.." It all depends on who your seniors are. I hated mine when I was in Div 6. He knew it too.
I couldnt imagine what it was like being in such a strict org like Flag or LA with over 100 staff members or ANY Sea Org place. In St. Louis is was surely more laid back. Anywhere else and I surely would have had a breakdown of some kind :)
Peace dude

Heh. I worked 96 - 108 hours and received between $0 and $24 plus room and board, per week. I was in the Sea Org for almost 8 years. I helped bust a guy who worked in the bookstore at ASHO. He had been falsifying his sales for months, in order to collect commissions on his false sales.
And I know what you mean about falsifying "stats". Although I never did so, I was ordered to falsify my "GDS" by the Chief Officer ASHO Day, Allen Grondin: http://www.myhomepage.org/allengrondin/myself.htm He told me to report my "stat" as being in "power" because my actual condition was "affluence", and that wasn't good enough for him. He wanted to get 6 points (for "power") in the LRH Birthday Game instead of the actual 3 points given to a Chief Officer for a divisional "affluence". His actual order, when I told him my "stat" was in "affluence" was, "Report a 'power' [condition] and figure out the 'admin' [numbers] later".
I told him to fuck off. Shortly after that he blew the Sea Org with the wife (she was a Sea Org member, too) of another Sea Org member at ASHO Day.
