More tales from the Dark Side of Scientology – this is Chris’s story
Some Confront Required
We have all heard the tales of abuse in the Sea Org and at the top management level of Scientology, but we are just beginning to see the true extent of the depravity and outright criminality that is being visited upon loyal public Scientologists who have dedicated their lives to supporting the church and to becoming more spiritually aware.
Chris submitted this as a comment to my thread “CofS Repayments – Get your unused account balances returned“, but I thought his comments were important enough that he deserved a posting of his own.

Hello,
My name is Chris. I was a Scientologist involved in church services for 25 years. For about 12 years of this, I was receiving “CCRD setups”. This included one auditor literally falling asleep, telling me all about his sexual escapades during sessions, etc. I changed orgs but was not able to complete the countless years of CCRD setups so that I could receive my CCRD. I could not train during this time as the CS said I could not do the Pro TR’s course clay table auditing until I completed my CCRD. I tried my best, submitted LRH tech showing the out-tech, did knowledge reports, and nothing productive came of it. Watching this sad decline of the church and getting nowhere myself, I finally pullled the plug and called it quits. I don’t feel I am an ex-Scientologist, but rather a Scientologist that does not want to associate with a corrupt, out-tech group – the church.
So, in February of this year (2010) I initiated a repayment to get my money back from the church. I started with getting a full accounting of my funds on account. I received a complete list of debits and credits over the last 10 years. It totaled $12,348.35 and I was informed “and that has been the stable balance since Dec of ’08.” (Their accounting is missing a Pro Tr’s course as well.)
So, I started my repayment cycle. After five months of active, almost daily communication and lots of forms filled out, etc. I was told I had zero money in my account. Seems the church wiped my account clean with sending out materials without my knowledge or authorization. They even gave out materials to someone else and debited my account, telling me that I knew him, (which I did) and he said it was ok. I asked them if they had anything in writing, and of course they do not. The church said they have to get back their materials back before they give me any money. Of course, that is their problem, but they are refusing to give me back my money. I informed them that I was going to initiate a lawsuit if they do not fulfill their obligation. There has been no response. I will be suing for fraud as well.
I have been working with Chris on his repayment cycle for some time and this is definitely the worst violation of the Scientology-IRS agreement I have seen. This is an ASHO repayment cycle and those of you who have useful information to share with Chris are welcome to do so. I am sure that he will also appreciate any information you have on getting legal representation in this cycle.

Unf-ing believable. The criminality is so overt and their is NO remorse expressed and no sense of responsibility.
Tell me, did they tell you that their “hand did it?”
This is a live demo, folks, of the attributes of an antisocial personality being expressed by an organization where it is “command intention” and the only safe way to operate that every individual be in dm’s valence. Sorry that this is a rant response and not helpful information, Chris, but really, it has to be said.
I wish you success in getting your money returned.
Maybe you can resolve your CCRD in the independent field.
