My MOMENT was broken into 2 parts. First I blew the Sales project, Later I realized I had no reason to stay.
In July 2007, the Basics Evolution had begun. This was the huge push to sell a $3500 package of LRH books and lectures to every single Scn.
The devotion to making $$$ in this Basics Evolution was so heartless and off purpose (Ref: HCO PL STAT PUSH), and went against my idea of helping people. This was international, and I couldn't isolate who had been responsible for this STAT PUSH. It seemed to come from CMO, but I didn't really know whether this was command intention, or if it was a twisted version of what Int mgmt wanted to happen.
I managed to avoid this Sales frenzy for a while, but in 2008, they set up a computerized call centre and expected every SO member to call public over and over, and hard sell these Basics, regardless of the problems that the public were facing, and ignoring other LRH solutions that could actually help them.
So I blew the call centre first. I wrote a letter expaining that it was off-purpose and seriously upsetting people. The letter just went into my comm-ev as evidence.
Then, I realized that there was an extreme degree of control exerted on all SO members, and I would have to become an unthinking robot in order to remain a member. I refused, and the time eventually came where they let me go.
The price of escaping may be everything. I know. But when it feels like nothing is left, remember the only thing you need is to believe in yourself.
