This is the *one* picture that's always stayed with me from the Time magazine article in '91. If I have any heart-strings left, which is questionable, this picture brings it out of me. Harriet's entropy ridden face looks like she suffered as millions of others did through the depression (1930's) and god knows whatever other hardships or tragedies she had to endure in her life, where that tract home looks like her *one* nest-egg possession after going through it all. If this picture doesn't implicate scientology regges as being the scum bag con-siphoning dollar leeches that they are using anyone at *any* human price, then what does?

Did they try to convince her that the auditing from the 45,000 would not only get her through internal grief at the loss of her husband, but help her as well to become more 'causative' as a 'thetan' where she needn't have worried about losing her home because they conned her into thinking that she could have 'then' made more money by becoming more 'causative'? I wouldn't put it past those hard-sell LRH/Les Dane cock-suckers to run such an evil *at-cause* 'mortgage ploy' on an old woman with no funds. Makes me fuckin sick to my stomach. I'd like to hear a 'pro' scientology stance as to why Harriet did the right thing by mortgaging her home (to get rid of her 'pain' through auditing).

Come on mr/ms 'in-ethics' scientologist, step up to bat and justify why she did 'the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics' by mortgaging her home at scientology's behest, as scientology *accepted* that money, which by implication proves their go-ahead for the mortgage. I wouldn't put it past those reg-sharks that they knew *full well* the financial black-hole they were pushing her into without any real care for her future, just showing phoney care through 'ARC' manipulation for actual lust for bucks. But HEY! Anything for scientology 'stats', right?

I've always wondered what happened to Harriet after that Time article.

Does anyone here know of her ultimate fate since that time? I need closure on this after seeing this picture again. If she became homeless or went out of necessity to a 'state sponsored' convalescent home to sleep in a filthy closet because she was dead broke, I'll fuckin scream. Hopefully she had relatives to help her transition into other livable quarters. Maybe the time article answered this question somewhat at the time, I don't remember. But as to her ultimate fate after the article was written I'm sure wasn't. Her *ultimate fate*, (besides probably dying); that's the question I'd like answered by anyone who knows.
