I absolutely LOVE how when you search "scientology sea org", this is the second video that comes up. It even beats the "fastest growing religion's" official channel, lol.
I dealt with division 6...So nice & friendly. I did a free personality test, watched a video & did a seminar before leaving & not going back. I didn't even know I was going to one of the churches. I was asked in the street if I wanted to do a free test & before I knew it, I was in the church. It was a nice building but I felt all eyes on me & felt the kindness was not always genuine. They gave me food & drinks while I was there. Kept trying to sell me things which was a real turn off
@@CVNmahdlO EVERY DAY ?? 😲 Their persistence would be so annoying! I get a charity contacting me every 2 months asking me to donate and i keep telling them not to contact me - this i find annoying- i cant imagine how frustating daily contact is - not much changes in 24 hours after saying no ! What did they expect would happen ?

You sound like you msking shit up lol. There are plenty of wats to be cool& to be a good persin, or whatever you want, WITHOUT DOING BAD THINGS... Like cults and stuff. Id rather see you fill your pocjets with stolen candy, then be a scientology member... Sounds dumb, but its true. Your better off.
Here's a radical idea! People with no work and nothing to do could volunteer at a soup kitchen, pick up trash, visit shut ins at a nursing home, or provide some community service. I know that is NEVER going to happen because it is not adding to their profits or enrollment numbers. Sad. So many people available to do something good, but the church opposes actual community service work.
@Global Atheist I wonder how many Scientologists would go do those things if their auditor told them the church required volunteer work that was actual work. They'd rather give all their money and spend hours talking to an auditor.
@Global Atheist According to Leah's show, they show up after a disaster to hand out bottles of water and Scientology literature. They take a photo for publicity, and go home.
If David Miscavige said that the new “public relations program” was for all scientologists to work at soup kitchens 10 hours a week, Scientologists would do it.
You know, for each action you take on staff and say spend 2 hours say... making a sec-check on someone. You will then spend at leats 1 hour to update the files, excel tracters and other "ongoing documentation". Then you spend 1 more hour preparing a report about that sec-check. So for each "productive" hour, you have at LEAST one "unproductive" administrative hour. As Aaron said, orgs have a lot of responsibilities, but often very few staff. So everyone is overworked beause they are understaffed. So you never have people with "no work" except maybe underaged members.
I'm an exJehovahs Witness. When my Dad remarried after he was Disfellowshipped his new wife was reading Dianetics. I found the book after they married and asked her about it. My Dad found out and put an end to it. I love your channel, it helps us exjws too.
I was in scientology for some years. The sea org used to horrify me.... the way they lived, or rather *didn't* live! It was a constant guilt trip to sign on with them, but there was no way in hell. The "org board" was absurd. Huge numbers of administrative positions that generated no revenue, and just a small amount of technical people producing the product. It was so obviously flawed. And yet thrust at you like "this is *the* perfect model for *any* enterprise."
They have various organizations that help people stay off drugs and help criminals not to reoffend as well as providing unpaid assistance to those in need at major disaster sites.
As an ex-Sea Org.member who was drummed out for pranks and for telling a higher rank asshole to back off or I would "go medieval"in 1975 when I was 22,I still do pretty much what I did back then.........WHATEVER I WANT !!!
Thanks a lot for explaining that! An organisation with around 35,000 members cannot, simply cannot, require a staff of in excess of 8000 people including Sea Org members. That is a staff that ordinarily would serve miillions of customers, depending on the sector. So what you're saying is that they basically make work for one another, with a few people actually dealing with "customers" in the real sense. All the rest are chasing their tails trying to keep up with the many ridiculous policies and the scrapes into which the organisation gets itself. And in the process they are gradually bankrupting their loyal customers till they have none left. Fine prospect.
Keep scientology working is keeping wheels/people spinning in chaos combined with lack of sleep and proper nutrition. What a nightmare of a no win situation. I hope more people become aware of just how horrible they’re being treated. Trafficked, malnourished and sleep deprivation. Very sad. I hope they come out or are rescued soon and DM is brought to justice along with his henchmen. Horrific 😢
@@h.w.6563 He also was a Satanist. Parts of the OT Levels are a defamation of Christianity. You should read the original OT 8 that they have been trying to hide in which LRH defames Jesus insinuating he was a pedophile, etc. LRH was a Satanist. The activities of this cult are witchcraft. :Postulating" is casting spirits and demons.
Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who once taught at Harvard Medical School, wrote a paper titled Cult Formation in the early 1980s. He delineated three primary characteristics, which are the most common features shared by destructive cults. 1. A charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority. 2. A process [of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as] coercive persuasion or thought reform [commonly called "brainwashing"]. The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of the group and its leader. Lifton's seminal book Thought Reform and Psychology of Totalism explains this process in considerable detail. 3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie. The destructiveness of groups called cults varies by degree, from labour violations, child abuse, medical neglect to, in some extreme and isolated situations, calls for violence or mass suicide. Some groups that were once seen as "cults" have historically evolved to become generally regarded as religions. Power devolved from a single leader to a broader church government and such groups ceased to be seen as simply personality-driven and defined by a single individual. For example the Seventh-day Adventists, once led by Ellen White, or the Mormons church founded by Joseph Smith. Some groups may not fit the definition of a cult, but may pose potential risks for participants. Here are 10 warning signs of a potentially unsafe group or leader. • Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability. • No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry. • No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget or expenses, such as an independently audited financial statement. • Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions. • There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil. • Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances. • There are records, books, news articles, or broadcast reports that document the abuses of the group/leader. • Followers feel they can never be "good enough". • The group/leader is always right. • The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
@@marypatton1122 I'd have to agree. Look at the catholic cult, you can trace every false religion today back to her. Religion defined as "Religion is a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices". Then again the united states has it's own cult following, they all worship and swear alligance to it's flag and perverse "god" in which the image stands. Most are clueless that it's a religion but it is what it is, reprobates worshiping a filthy cloth that isn't fit to clean up after swine...
Great videos. When I watch other videos, I find myself asking questions in my head or out loud to my husband. You explain a lot of the details as well as basics that have been missed in documentaries. Thank you!
Sounds like they just keep them busy so the members don't have time to critically think about what the hell they're doing and why the hell they're doing it. It's just so sad. I especially feel bad for the children that were born into the cult of scientology.
Think about the concept of 'arbitrary'. Getting someone to do something arbitrary is the goal, the content is actually irrelevant. In fact, if you want to establish a program of control than the MORE arbitrary, seemingly purposeless, or illogical an activity is ...the BETTER. Think about the very beginning, things like the seemingly harmless TRs, from the point of view of a human conditioner: the content of the Training Routines is actually unimportant; its getting people used to carrying out arbitrary commands that is the point.
I have this fantasy in which a lot of members, while being driving to recruit somebody or doing any other activity unsupervised, suddenly receive a hit of consciousness -like if a lost tenis ball or something hits them- and they see what they're doing at the moment and think "WTF?". Then they go away and never turn back.
I am so happy you have started this TH-cam channel, I feel like if more ex- Scientology people did a TH-cam channel, that would help take this cult down. We just have to remember we need to dismantle this cult, 1 brick from flag at a time. Just my thoughts..
Allegations of bribery are only made by people who have no personal experience being in or working for Scientology. Scientology does not bribe police or officials.
@@GrowingUpInScientology Checks are written to the PD EVERY YEAR. That's what keeps them 'loyal' to CofS. They are paid annually towards the end of the year.
@@GrowingUpInScientology Didn't Marty Rathbun talk about how David Miscavige gave the Lisa McPherson prosecutor (or was it the judge?) $100k cufflinks? That's a far cry from a designated dept. to bribe local police, but still.
Senior: Explain why your stats are down! Staff member: I don’t know, I’ve been postulating really hard. Senior: You’re a down stat and I’m writing you up, you’re in a lower condition. Staff member: It’s not my fault! It’s Christmas, zero foot traffic, and no one returns my calls even after 10 voice mail messages. Senior: Your f’n bad stats are your fault and stop giving me justifications on why you suck at your post. Staff member: Okay, but why write me up?! I don’t deserve this! Senior: Again, stop with the excuses. You pulled this in and you know it! Now get the f out of my sight and go do your f’n job! Senior to E.O.: I’m reporting a staff member to you for handling and I don’t want to see that staff member again until she completes the Personal Integrity course with flying colors. E.O. to PCO: We need a replacement staff member to be reassigned to said Senior and no quicksilvers this time. PCO to said Senior: I have three new EPFers that might be a good fit. I’ll send them over to you after course so you can interview them. Senior to PCO: I don’t care who you send me as long as they know how to Make it Go Right!!! If not, just send the prettiest one. The last down stat I just got rid of was so fugly she made it hard to keep my TRs in.
Well, when I was on the class 8 course after going into the Sea Org, I would go get a cup of coffee at the local Denny's after muster, then come back, late for class, study all day and then go watch TV in the evening in my Sea Org apartment which I had fixed up myself from its former disgusting condition. I basically told all my "seniors" to fuck off. I was a rebel who wanted an actual life, and of course did not last long in the regimented Sea Org.
I worked at a Scientology Mission for a few years. I started at reception, then I was put on writing letters to everyone in their files. Offering them services. I remember once a lady came in with a friend and asked me about the Xenu story. At the time I didn’t know anything about it. This was when pc’s were not common. A few people had them, but most regular folks didn’t. A year or so later I did get an early pc. The anti Scientology stuff was already there. It didn’t take long for me to see the ridiculousness of it!
Lisa Spikes id like to see the percentage of members who have at least mild dementia . (Persuaded to make the cult poa and beneficiary of their estates , assets. Etc. )
Neville6000 That’s precisely why SeaOrg members are not allowed to go online and educate themselves. You can get the entire science fiction story for free and decide right there if that tickles your fancy. If you’re a schizophrenic sci-fi fan you’ll love it.
When they have management meetings discussing near zero new enrollment, do they ever say, “What the f~%k did we do with our lives?” Also, do they acknowledge the internet role in outing the bizzare cult beliefs? Thanks for the informative video.
They have strict rules about followers going into the Internet. Ignorance is bliss. It's those with a small portion of functioning brain that go into the Internet and eventually try to break out.
Wow, this is an interesting corporate study! In my experience, the more metrics an organization collects, with few exceptions, the less value it produces, so this makes sense to me.
My neighbor is a low level TCOS member, 30+ yrs.,), he’s near losing his house now, 5 hrs ago they had him refi his paid off house, to give them the proceeds, for all those programs/courses. He’s 75 and all his assets, time & retirement money, they take by terrible tactics. He still works 7 days and about 60 hours a week for them, (manual labor), is exhausted, broke and now bad health. He left, for 1 year, they ruined his life and sucked him back in by stalking him 24/7, ruining his little, (retired), handy man biz, alienating his friends too. It’s a CULT, needs to be dismantled by the US GOV., it’s not a church, helps so no one, (except D. Miscarriage), IT HARMS PEOPLE, period. We’ve tried to get him to leave over and over again, but he’s brainwashed, more like in brain fear of them. He is in the NOVA area group, his wife n kids are not in it and he’s not been allowed to see them, 25;+ yrs., a tragic & sad situation.
Ex Mormon here, I never had a choice, born into it...I imagine we all suffered the same level of emotional/physical abuse, thankfully we’ve all escaped sort of, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m hounded by these drones, why won’t they leave us alone? Thank you for these videos 🦋

Been watching a lot of ExMo videos, and I'm so glad you made it out. That is one crazy cult! So, so crazy. I was saddened when I recently watched a video of a young man who left "The Other" cult (Kingston brothers), and after leaving he tried some different churches and chose Mormonism. From the kettle into the fire!!! Heartbreaking.
I'm sorry if you were emotionally or physically abused. I never experienced any of that. I've found the church to be a major blessing in my life and helps me get closer to my Savior.
Exactly! it’s 70 percent smaller now than it was in the 70s/80s. That says it all about their efforting for registrations! That is hilarious and telling.
Even though I may have been in a cult (according to one of my therapists) it barely compares to Scientology in so many things and I truly pity almost everyone still in that group (except Tom Cruise and his pal David of course), working there really sounds like hell and I would rather go back to my previous community if Scientology was my only other option.
I had Scientologists attempt to recruit me in Santa Barbara in 1974. I was interviewed for what seemed an eternity. I remember they wanted to have a meeting at my house (I was a renter). Eventually I escaped from them.
What I've seen, they just stand around talking to each other because nobody wants Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard was a terrible writer anyway. I swear I think his books are all published first drafts.
The reason for this is pretty clear-- in a cult it's important that people not think for themselves, and in order to insure that, people have to have things to do all the time-- they are not allowed to sit around and possibly do some independent thinking. That it's a bureaucratic, inefficient bunch of BS of do-nothing operations, more the better-- inefficiency is a plus. Busy, busy, busy, doing anything but sitting around and thinking.
This structure is very 60's - for sure its the old school company structure - making us shuffle between offices to get the mortgage or the product - it's also a way of keeping people busy preventing critical thought.
@@GrowingUpInScientology Isn't a huge part of the basic curriculum various communication exercises (if rather extreme ones)? You're also encouraged to look up pretty much every single word that comes up in the dictionary. Also you have to study tons of lengthy texts, which even if they are filled with nonsense the skill of studying itself is fairly transferable.
Thanks for the clear explanation. I've already watched several videos of the scientology members and I've always thought there was something strange about their body language. they walk around as if they are very busy but in a kind of zombie way.
I haven’t gone back and watched all your past videos, been a subscriber for maybe 6 mos ? One good thing coming from TH-cam blackout and distorting your recommendations. I’ve got back and learning new old stuff 😉😘
I get a real kick out of all the dumb Scientology acronyms and lingo. When my buddy at work and I both watched COING CLEAR, we started calling people who were being difficult at work an "SP" or a "PTS".
Good Lord! The bureaucracy! I can’t imagine trying to call them and get to the right person. It would be as bad as calling the cable company or Social Security.
1st priority remove their tax exempt status. If they had to pay property tax and tax on all the "donations" the organization would self destruct. Secondly it's a pyramid scheme with no pay off which is illegal. Lastly you can't pay someone $50 a week it's actually illegal and if they lose their tax exempt status I don't believe they would be able to do that....
Hi, FYI - PART 2 - It took me over 20 years to discover how Hubbard was effecting his Subliminal Mind Control. - The technique was absolutely brilliant, and effective, let alone so devious, and subtle ! - This discovery led to my real definition of a True Cult: All True Cults utilize methods of Subliminal Mind Control to covertly steal the Wealth, Power, Work, Fame, Position, and Influence of their Member Victims. - The Largest oldest religions in history and current existence do utilize Subliminal Mind Control on their Members from birth !!!

@@gorillaau Well, I guess he was really happy he finally found someone that would buy into his crazy beliefs. ;-) But, alas, she came to her senses fairly soon,, and brilliantly left to save herself and their child from the craziness.
There is not a lot of information about the British Headquarters in East Grinstead. How important is the place? All I seem to hear about is Scientology in the US.
so what happens if you decided to just not do anything? What can the Sea Org do legally? I find it hard to believe that the Sea Org could actually enforce anyone to do a job.
The SO doesn't have to worry about "legally", they only have to worry about internal policy. If an SO member just does nothing they will be removed from post and assigned to the "Category B Estates Project Force", which is basically just having to re-do Sea Org boot camp, with some extra steps. If the person refuses to do this, or fails to successfully complete the Cat B EPF they will simply be offloaded from the Sea Org, which just means, kicked out and sent home. They will be given a bill for any courses or auditing they did in the Sea Org. The bill has to be paid before they will be allowed to do any further Scientology auditing or courses. They will also be given a list of auditing and training they have to complete before being allowed to ever re-join the Sea Org. And that's pretty much it.
I would think that anyone who has enough sense to just relax unapologetically when there's no work to do would probably be well on their way out of Scientology.
They're like the Bethelites in Jehova's Wittnesses. They live the same way at the headquarters buildings all over the world, the main one being in New York City.
@Klaa2 Check out Marcus Vaughn's channel. He was a Bethelite for several years before he realized it was all bullshit and got out. He makes videos where he talks about what it was like living at the JW headquarters in New York.
@Anna Cottle Cottle I think the guy left there right before they sold it, or he went to a different location in New York, or something. I think they have a couple different New York locations.
The inefficiency in organizational design isn't an accident or error. Its almost certainly intentional. The constant stress to preform and the focus on performance statics sucks up the time and mental effort that would otherwise be spent wondering why in the hell you are doing these things at all. Think of those elaborate North Korean parades and civic demonstrations they are constantly rehearsing. Its all just make work projects to waste the time you'd otherwise spend on being human.
I just got my catalog of L.R. Hubbard books, novels, etc. Since I began receiving them over 10 years ago, I've never once bought a book. I'm not now, nor have I ever been, a Scientologist.
Honest question: Does the 'Church' of Scientology predominantly try to recruit the wealth and does your level of wealth determine how high you can rise within the organization?
Generally speaking I would say the answer to both of those questions is yes but not quite as intentionally as one might think. Also what it means to rise high in the organization means different things to different people It’s not like you’re literally not allowed to advance either on the bridge or within the organization without money it’s just that it’s harder to do so
I was born catholic, but didn't really practice it. then when I was 17 I just didn't want to have a religion. I can tell you that when I was in church, with other catholics, attending catechism, NEVER once did we try to recruit, threaten, or ask for money from others. we also didn't disown family members if they didn't want to practice the religion. I'm sure same goes for all the other main well known religions.
You have a really good, personable, and likeable style to your video presentations...this is tough stuff to comprehend, let alone tolerate, and it needs to be presented in a way people can find believable- because CO$ is so nuts, I know years ago I didn't believe it all at first...
Aaron, you should have seen Mpls, MN in1960's. Thank goodness we didn't have computers and cell phones. They didn't get me with the want ad for a job. Not when they wanted me to buy something. Not many credit cards back then.
Thanks, Aaron. This is a great video. It perfectly sums up everything that is wrong with scientology "as an organisation". Its absolute chaos, its a mess, almost nothing can be improved or made more efficient because of some old policy. Everyone is afraid of putting forward new ideas because they think they will be labelled a "reformist/squirrel" or "supressively reasonable". So its hopeless not only because its inefficient and stupid, but also very unwilling to change.
So what do they do for the community and the world? What is their plan for making the world a better place? Is it just making people better by going clear?
No joke everytime I visit 1/2 price Book stores there are shelves and shelves of Dianetics everywhere. That could end in one of two ways ..let's thumbs up these videos so it will end up in favor of the World ,and not in a thetan kinda way.Thanks for making such great material..👍🏾
I was going to say, if they're spending 100 hours a week "working" they're getting close to nothing done. Hanging around at your place of work and actually being productive are two different things. There is an optimum window for human productivity and it falls well short of 100 hours per week.
Pure insanity , so sad all these hours of good peoples lives running around on the whims of a conman. Though it does show that humans are so willing to make world better. We just need united authentic leadership
It sounds like an organization that is trying to keep people so busy they don’t have time to question anything.
Pretty much.
That's what cults often do
Trying? It's typical cult behavior.
keep them busy, poor and dependant

As Aaron said, orgs have a lot of responsibilities, but often very few staff. So everyone is overworked beause they are understaffed. So you never have people with "no work" except maybe underaged members.
Ohhhh yeah, all they care about is $$$$.
I'm an exJehovahs Witness. When my Dad remarried after he was Disfellowshipped his new wife was reading Dianetics. I found the book after they married and asked her about it. My Dad found out and put an end to it. I love your channel, it helps us exjws too.
😏 thats interesting 📚 theres a channel call Telltale, hes an exsjw that makes videos just like here 😊
I'm an ex-JW, too. Glad I never fell for CoS.

That should be spelt Co$.
I was in scientology for some years. The sea org used to horrify me.... the way they lived, or rather *didn't* live! It was a constant guilt trip to sign on with them, but there was no way in hell. The "org board" was absurd. Huge numbers of administrative positions that generated no revenue, and just a small amount of technical people producing the product. It was so obviously flawed. And yet thrust at you like "this is *the* perfect model for *any* enterprise."
It’s astounding when you look at the details of what actually is going on
Wow
It would seem DM is a very incapable leader on multiple levels
Cults are make work projects.
It’s funny I NEVER hear about them actually helping anyone anywhere.
They take good care of nice empty buildings.
They leave more space at Forest Lawn.
They have various organizations that help people stay off drugs and help criminals not to reoffend as well as providing unpaid assistance to those in need at major disaster sites.
cults = tax evasion and slavery
As an ex-Sea Org.member who was drummed out for pranks and for telling a higher rank asshole to back off or I would "go medieval"in 1975 when I was 22,I still do pretty much what I did back then.........WHATEVER I WANT !!!
To sum up the video, 'What do Sea Org Members Do All Day?", look busy but accomplish little.
Yay, more busy work today.
So regular working
He talks way too long without saying a single thing.
Sounds like the military or corporate america
This was phenomenally informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
Scientology is like an intricate game that is amusing at first,but soon grows tedious and tiresome .
Thanks a lot for explaining that! An organisation with around 35,000 members cannot, simply cannot, require a staff of in excess of 8000 people including Sea Org members. That is a staff that ordinarily would serve miillions of customers, depending on the sector. So what you're saying is that they basically make work for one another, with a few people actually dealing with "customers" in the real sense. All the rest are chasing their tails trying to keep up with the many ridiculous policies and the scrapes into which the organisation gets itself. And in the process they are gradually bankrupting their loyal customers till they have none left. Fine prospect.
Precisely.
Keep scientology working is keeping wheels/people spinning in chaos combined with lack of sleep and proper nutrition. What a nightmare of a no win situation. I hope more people become aware of just how horrible they’re being treated. Trafficked, malnourished and sleep deprivation. Very sad. I hope they come out or are rescued soon and DM is brought to justice along with his henchmen. Horrific 😢
It's ironic that division 6 is the one with three divisions. 666.
Knowing Hubbard that’s probably not a coincidence.
Hubbard was a Satanist
@@izang5800 Hubbard scammed a satanist for his assets would probably be a better description, though.
@@h.w.6563 He also was a Satanist. Parts of the OT Levels are a defamation of Christianity. You should read the original OT 8 that they have been trying to hide in which LRH defames Jesus insinuating he was a pedophile, etc. LRH was a Satanist. The activities of this cult are witchcraft. :Postulating" is casting spirits and demons.
@@izang5800 Since when does "being a satanist" mean "saying bad stuff about Jesus"? I thought it meant worshipping Satan.
Now that we know what the Sea Org “does” all day. What does Miscavige do all day, everyday?
Count his money and LAUGH!!! Plus write love letters to Tom.
Rage
and try to find ways to bully those (like Aaron and the City of Clearwater) who get in the way of his self-serving, power-mongering ways.
Well he probably was flying on the lolita express
Search for shoes that make him taller than Tom
The short single topic vids are a great idea.
Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who once taught at Harvard Medical School, wrote a paper titled Cult Formation in the early 1980s. He delineated three primary characteristics, which are the most common features shared by destructive cults.
1. A charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority.
2. A process [of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as] coercive persuasion or thought reform [commonly called "brainwashing"].
The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of the group and its leader.
Lifton's seminal book Thought Reform and Psychology of Totalism explains this process in considerable detail.
3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.
The destructiveness of groups called cults varies by degree, from labour violations, child abuse, medical neglect to, in some extreme and isolated situations, calls for violence or mass suicide.
Some groups that were once seen as "cults" have historically evolved to become generally regarded as religions. Power devolved from a single leader to a broader church government and such groups ceased to be seen as simply personality-driven and defined by a single individual. For example the Seventh-day Adventists, once led by Ellen White, or the Mormons church founded by Joseph Smith.
Some groups may not fit the definition of a cult, but may pose potential risks for participants. Here are 10 warning signs of a potentially unsafe group or leader.
• Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
• No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
• No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget or expenses, such as an independently audited financial statement.
• Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
• There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
• Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
• There are records, books, news articles, or broadcast reports that document the abuses of the group/leader.
• Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
• The group/leader is always right.
• The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
I didn't know our current president is a cult leader...
@@dylanheadrick3789 And all previous presidents.
Sound like public schools as well, but turds roll down hill speaking of the president.
Sounds like every religion ever invented.
@@marypatton1122 I'd have to agree. Look at the catholic cult, you can trace every false religion today back to her.
Religion defined as "Religion is a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices".
Then again the united states has it's own cult following, they all worship and swear alligance to it's flag and perverse "god" in which the image stands. Most are clueless that it's a religion but it is what it is, reprobates worshiping a filthy cloth that isn't fit to clean up after swine...
Great videos. When I watch other videos, I find myself asking questions in my head or out loud to my husband. You explain a lot of the details as well as basics that have been missed in documentaries. Thank you!
Sounds like they just keep them busy so the members don't have time to critically think about what the hell they're doing and why the hell they're doing it. It's just so sad. I especially feel bad for the children that were born into the cult of scientology.
Think about the concept of 'arbitrary'. Getting someone to do something arbitrary is the goal, the content is actually irrelevant. In fact, if you want to establish a program of control than the MORE arbitrary, seemingly purposeless, or illogical an activity is ...the BETTER. Think about the very beginning, things like the seemingly harmless TRs, from the point of view of a human conditioner: the content of the Training Routines is actually unimportant; its getting people used to carrying out arbitrary commands that is the point.
Yeah, that's is pretty much the reason.
A bit of sleep deprivation doesn't hurt the cause either.
It's all about money and children are doctrinated and controlled by people who said that's their life where supposed to be.
I have this fantasy in which a lot of members, while being driving to recruit somebody or doing any other activity unsupervised, suddenly receive a hit of consciousness -like if a lost tenis ball or something hits them- and they see what they're doing at the moment and think "WTF?". Then they go away and never turn back.
I am so happy you have started this TH-cam channel, I feel like if more ex- Scientology people did a TH-cam channel, that would help take this cult down. We just have to remember we need to dismantle this cult, 1 brick from flag at a time. Just my thoughts..
Which department keeps records of paying the Police Department ???
Allegations of bribery are only made by people who have no personal experience being in or working for Scientology. Scientology does not bribe police or officials.
The tax avoidance department....where else ?
Yeah. You don’t have to “bribe” willing participants. Clever wording there. Lol.
@@GrowingUpInScientology Checks are written to the PD EVERY YEAR.
That's what keeps them 'loyal' to CofS. They are paid annually towards the end of the year.
@@GrowingUpInScientology Didn't Marty Rathbun talk about how David Miscavige gave the Lisa McPherson prosecutor (or was it the judge?) $100k cufflinks? That's a far cry from a designated dept. to bribe local police, but still.
Senior: Explain why your stats are down!
Staff member: I don’t know, I’ve been postulating really hard.
Senior: You’re a down stat and I’m writing you up, you’re in a lower condition.
Staff member: It’s not my fault! It’s Christmas, zero foot traffic, and no one returns my calls even after 10 voice mail messages.
Senior: Your f’n bad stats are your fault and stop giving me justifications on why you suck at your post.
Staff member: Okay, but why write me up?! I don’t deserve this!
Senior: Again, stop with the excuses. You pulled this in and you know it! Now get the f out of my sight and go do your f’n job!
Senior to E.O.: I’m reporting a staff member to you for handling and I don’t want to see that staff member again until she completes the Personal Integrity course with flying colors.
E.O. to PCO: We need a replacement staff member to be reassigned to said Senior and no quicksilvers this time.
PCO to said Senior: I have three new EPFers that might be a good fit. I’ll send them over to you after course so you can interview them.
Senior to PCO: I don’t care who you send me as long as they know how to Make it Go Right!!! If not, just send the prettiest one. The last down stat I just got rid of was so fugly she made it hard to keep my TRs in.
Well, when I was on the class 8 course after going into the Sea Org, I would go get a cup of coffee at the local Denny's after muster, then come back, late for class, study all day and then go watch TV in the evening in my Sea Org apartment which I had fixed up myself from its former disgusting condition. I basically told all my "seniors" to fuck off. I was a rebel who wanted an actual life, and of course did not last long in the regimented Sea Org.

Viewer of your newer content and this was recommended to me by YT. Fantastic video, AAron. Very informative!
I worked at a Scientology Mission for a few years. I started at reception, then I was put on writing letters to everyone in their files. Offering them services. I remember once a lady came in with a friend and asked me about the Xenu story. At the time I didn’t know anything about it. This was when pc’s were not common. A few people had them, but most regular folks didn’t. A year or so later I did get an early pc. The anti Scientology stuff was already there. It didn’t take long for me to see the ridiculousness of it!
Good to see that you woke up due to having the Internet.
Lisa Spikes id like to see the percentage of members who have at least mild dementia . (Persuaded to make the cult poa and beneficiary of their estates , assets. Etc. )
Neville6000 That’s precisely why SeaOrg members are not allowed to go online and educate themselves. You can get the entire science fiction story for free and decide right there if that tickles your fancy.
If you’re a schizophrenic sci-fi fan you’ll love it.
So happy you were able to escape
Computers are knocking sense into all religions.
Scientologists came to my door once, I turned the garden hose on them.
Hahaha! Good!
Mail them a dog turd, I sent them turd once.
😝😜😝
When they have management meetings discussing near zero new enrollment, do they ever say, “What the f~%k did we do with our lives?”
Also, do they acknowledge the internet role in outing the bizzare cult beliefs?
Thanks for the informative video.
No, they would not acknowledge that.
They have strict rules about followers going into the Internet. Ignorance is bliss. It's those with a small portion of functioning brain that go into the Internet and eventually try to break out.
Sounds miserable. No wonder why they are moody.
Wow, this is an interesting corporate study! In my experience, the more metrics an organization collects, with few exceptions, the less value it produces, so this makes sense to me.
👍🏻👍🏻
My neighbor is a low level TCOS member, 30+ yrs.,), he’s near losing his house now, 5 hrs ago they had him refi his paid off house, to give them the proceeds, for all those programs/courses. He’s 75 and all his assets, time & retirement money, they take by terrible tactics. He still works 7 days and about 60 hours a week for them, (manual labor), is exhausted, broke and now bad health. He left, for 1 year, they ruined his life and sucked him back in by stalking him 24/7, ruining his little, (retired), handy man biz, alienating his friends too. It’s a CULT, needs to be dismantled by the US GOV., it’s not a church, helps so no one, (except D. Miscarriage), IT HARMS PEOPLE, period. We’ve tried to get him to leave over and over again, but he’s brainwashed, more like in brain fear of them. He is in the NOVA area group, his wife n kids are not in it and he’s not been allowed to see them, 25;+ yrs., a tragic & sad situation.
I don't understand how people can be a Scientologist and work. It's expensive to be a Scientologist.
I actually wondered about that so thanks for replying. And congratulations of breaking out while you still could!
Ex Mormon here, I never had a choice, born into it...I imagine we all suffered the same level of emotional/physical abuse, thankfully we’ve all escaped sort of, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m hounded by these drones, why won’t they leave us alone?
Thank you for these videos 🦋

@@Lovinlife1234 Born (in Utah) and raised, primary, mutual, seminary...Bible chase, Saturday night dances, babtized for the dead...that wasn’t fun, tithing..I send my mom money, she gives it and more to the f*cking church, let’s see...5 days a week seminary, before school, twice on Wednesday mutual & seminary, twice on Sunday, Sunday school & sacrament...
Unless there was a conference, then you got to stay home & watch it on TV...the head of the ward was your bishop, we had a great one for awhile, course the next one was a piece of work, I think I was threatened with excommunication at least once a month, sometimes more...is girls used to have a little game we played, see who had to wear a maxi dress on Sunday cause they got the back of their legs beat for something/or nothing during the week.
Now some things might have changed, I haven’t been to a church since I turned 18, and that was some time ago.. of course that doesn’t stop the missionaries from knocking on my door (I think they know I’m not gonna yell at those poor little boys), or my mailbox from being filled with propaganda, they don’t call cause, as my husband likes to say, I got a mouth like a sailer...so don’t you tell me I’m lying bitch, I grew up in that cesspool of a cult, and I have earned my rage and hate!
@@roxannduran1561 Glad you got out, RoxAnn. Hope you have some wonderful friends and family that support your freedom! Take care of yourself.
Been watching a lot of ExMo videos, and I'm so glad you made it out. That is one crazy cult! So, so crazy. I was saddened when I recently watched a video of a young man who left "The Other" cult (Kingston brothers), and after leaving he tried some different churches and chose Mormonism. From the kettle into the fire!!! Heartbreaking.
I'm sorry if you were emotionally or physically abused. I never experienced any of that. I've found the church to be a major blessing in my life and helps me get closer to my Savior.
The more I hear about the inner workings of Scientology, the more it reminds me of how the Air Force operates.
Well said A lot of wheels spinning and nothing getting done. I'm exhausted mentally just hearing it. That's enough to drive someone crazy.
I was in Middle Management in the 80s it was total chaos. Great video
Any stories to share?
Exactly! it’s 70 percent smaller now than it was in the 70s/80s. That says it all about their efforting for registrations! That is hilarious and telling.
Even though I may have been in a cult (according to one of my therapists) it barely compares to Scientology in so many things and I truly pity almost everyone still in that group (except Tom Cruise and his pal David of course), working there really sounds like hell and I would rather go back to my previous community if Scientology was my only other option.
I don’t think I’d join Scientology but if I did I’d like to be on SeaOrg. I love being on the sea

Step 1: start a “new religion”
Step 2: attract people to it
Step3:…..
Step 4: profit.
I had Scientologists attempt to recruit me in Santa Barbara in 1974. I was interviewed for what seemed an eternity. I remember they wanted to have a meeting at my house (I was a renter). Eventually I escaped from them.
geoff dearth Scientology has since moved on, I would like to invite you to an auditing session
What I've seen, they just stand around talking to each other because nobody wants Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard was a terrible writer anyway. I swear I think his books are all published first drafts.
I loved when Joe Rogan said that.
The reason for this is pretty clear-- in a cult it's important that people not think for themselves, and in order to insure that, people have to have things to do all the time-- they are not allowed to sit around and possibly do some independent thinking. That it's a bureaucratic, inefficient bunch of BS of do-nothing operations, more the better-- inefficiency is a plus. Busy, busy, busy, doing anything but sitting around and thinking.
THANK YOU. The one question I've been hoping to get answered.:)

This structure is very 60's - for sure its the old school company structure - making us shuffle between offices to get the mortgage or the product - it's also a way of keeping people busy preventing critical thought.
So thrilled for more Aaron podcasts....my original FAVE TH-cam podcaster! ❤️ Yo Aaron.
You’re SO GREAT at explaining this insane *thing*! 😂 Just amazing.
I love it. You’re amazing. So many details.
Maybe I’m weird, but most people I know from Scientology are well spoken
They'd better be, or zombie like public might have a MU! :)
People always ask me about that. I'd be curious to know what other people assume the answer would be.
@@GrowingUpInScientology Isn't a huge part of the basic curriculum various communication exercises (if rather extreme ones)? You're also encouraged to look up pretty much every single word that comes up in the dictionary. Also you have to study tons of lengthy texts, which even if they are filled with nonsense the skill of studying itself is fairly transferable.
Isn’t that an extension of the communication and persuasion skills Scientologists are taught?
I’ve been wondering about this for a while, I’m glad to have found the answer! ✌️
Thanks for the clear explanation. I've already watched several videos of the scientology members and I've always thought there was something strange about their body language. they walk around as if they are very busy but in a kind of zombie way.
Marionettes
I've really been enjoying listening to your podcast on Spotify. Great video too! Thanks!
It sounds like a mix between mlm and telemarketing.
I haven’t gone back and watched all your past videos, been a subscriber for maybe 6 mos ? One good thing coming from TH-cam blackout and distorting your recommendations. I’ve got back and learning new old stuff 😉😘
I get a real kick out of all the dumb Scientology acronyms and lingo. When my buddy at work and I both watched COING CLEAR, we started calling people who were being difficult at work an "SP" or a "PTS".
You can also start calling them "ethics bait". That means someone who is always getting in trouble.
Give em the old R2-45
Just bought Leah’s book can’t wait for it to come in
Nice!
Scientology sounds exactly like the military!
Good Lord! The bureaucracy! I can’t imagine trying to call them and get to the right person. It would be as bad as calling the cable company or Social Security.
Yup! 😆
1st priority remove their tax exempt status. If they had to pay property tax and tax on all the "donations" the organization would self destruct. Secondly it's a pyramid scheme with no pay off which is illegal. Lastly you can't pay someone $50 a week it's actually illegal and if they lose their tax exempt status I don't believe they would be able to do that....
So, in essence, the SO members are busy doing a whole lot of JACK SQUAT! Hahaha I knew it!
Yup!

Hi, FYI - PART 2
- It took me over 20 years to discover how Hubbard was effecting
his Subliminal Mind Control.
- The technique was absolutely brilliant, and effective, let alone so devious, and subtle !
- This discovery led to my real definition of a True Cult: All True Cults utilize methods of Subliminal Mind Control to covertly steal the Wealth, Power, Work, Fame, Position, and Influence of their Member Victims.
- The Largest oldest religions in history and current existence do utilize Subliminal Mind Control on their Members from birth !!!

so what happens if you decided to just not do anything? What can the Sea Org do legally? I find it hard to believe that the Sea Org could actually enforce anyone to do a job.
The SO doesn't have to worry about "legally", they only have to worry about internal policy. If an SO member just does nothing they will be removed from post and assigned to the "Category B Estates Project Force", which is basically just having to re-do Sea Org boot camp, with some extra steps. If the person refuses to do this, or fails to successfully complete the Cat B EPF they will simply be offloaded from the Sea Org, which just means, kicked out and sent home. They will be given a bill for any courses or auditing they did in the Sea Org. The bill has to be paid before they will be allowed to do any further Scientology auditing or courses. They will also be given a list of auditing and training they have to complete before being allowed to ever re-join the Sea Org. And that's pretty much it.
You don’t wanna know what they do out at sea for so long. It’s unspeakable.
🤔
I would think that anyone who has enough sense to just relax unapologetically when there's no work to do would probably be well on their way out of Scientology.
The bookstore should be called the BULL SHIT Library!
Sounds like the Navy, dude. Seriously.
Same idea
Infinite tax payer money, why be efficient?
Well, the Sea Org is designed after the Navy :-)
Amazing video and channel! So informative
I still dont understand what these people actually do when they work.
At the schools got to be colleges at the apartments and communities we live at but I dont believe they not paid
The description you give of Sea Org. puts me in mind of Britain's Penal Treadmills.
They're like the Bethelites in Jehova's Wittnesses. They live the same way at the headquarters buildings all over the world, the main one being in New York City.
@Klaa2 Check out Marcus Vaughn's channel. He was a Bethelite for several years before he realized it was all bullshit and got out. He makes videos where he talks about what it was like living at the JW headquarters in New York.
@Anna Cottle Cottle I think the guy left there right before they sold it, or he went to a different location in New York, or something. I think they have a couple different New York locations.
Bethelites are only paid up to $90 a month while making millions for the organisation 😡
The inefficiency in organizational design isn't an accident or error. Its almost certainly intentional.
The constant stress to preform and the focus on performance statics sucks up the time and mental effort that would otherwise be spent wondering why in the hell you are doing these things at all.
Think of those elaborate North Korean parades and civic demonstrations they are constantly rehearsing. Its all just make work projects to waste the time you'd otherwise spend on being human.
I just got my catalog of L.R. Hubbard books, novels, etc. Since I began receiving them over 10 years ago, I've never once bought a book. I'm not now, nor have I ever been, a Scientologist.
Honest question: Does the 'Church' of Scientology predominantly try to recruit the wealth and does your level of wealth determine how high you can rise within the organization?
Generally speaking I would say the answer to both of those questions is yes but not quite as intentionally as one might think.
Also what it means to rise high in the organization means different things to different people
It’s not like you’re literally not allowed to advance either on the bridge or within the organization without money it’s just that it’s harder to do so
I was born catholic, but didn't really practice it. then when I was 17 I just didn't want to have a religion. I can tell you that when I was in church, with other catholics, attending catechism, NEVER once did we try to recruit, threaten, or ask for money from others. we also didn't disown family members if they didn't want to practice the religion. I'm sure same goes for all the other main well known religions.
I dont know exactly why, but this gives me the creeps
You have a really good, personable, and likeable style to your video presentations...this is tough stuff to comprehend, let alone tolerate, and it needs to be presented in a way people can find believable- because CO$ is so nuts, I know years ago I didn't believe it all at first...
Aaron, you should have seen Mpls, MN in1960's. Thank goodness we didn't have computers and cell phones. They didn't get me with the want ad for a job. Not when they wanted me to buy something. Not many credit cards back then.
Thanks, Aaron. This is a great video. It perfectly sums up everything that is wrong with scientology "as an organisation". Its absolute chaos, its a mess, almost nothing can be improved or made more efficient because of some old policy. Everyone is afraid of putting forward new ideas because they think they will be labelled a "reformist/squirrel" or "supressively reasonable".
So its hopeless not only because its inefficient and stupid, but also very unwilling to change.
And invented by an obvious psychopath
So what do they do for the community and the world? What is their plan for making the world a better place? Is it just making people better by going clear?
YES.
That’s it
No joke everytime I visit 1/2 price Book stores there are shelves and shelves of Dianetics everywhere. That could end in one of two ways ..let's thumbs up these videos so it will end up in favor of the World ,and not in a thetan kinda way.Thanks for making such great material..👍🏾
So in other Words... in the "normal" World all "ordinary" telemarketers would be the perfekt Div-6 material?
✌😏 basically yeah, pretty much
I was going to say, if they're spending 100 hours a week "working" they're getting close to nothing done. Hanging around at your place of work and actually being productive are two different things. There is an optimum window for human productivity and it falls well short of 100 hours per week.
A commitment for a billion years? Sorry I`ll be busy a million years from now.
Pure insanity , so sad all these hours of good peoples lives running around on the whims of a conman. Though it does show that humans are so willing to make world better. We just need united authentic leadership
Tom cruise is the embodiment of a div6 staffer
He's also stuck in the closet
