The money

She made it clear that she worked as an employee. Did you watch the episode???

So how do you explain the guy tonight Tom DeVogt saying he had no formal education, or skills when he left but he was a high ranking member? Then others that were part of Sea-Org, I don't understand what the difference is. And David Miscaviage's Dad was part of Sea-Org and kept in that internment camp in Hemet that was locked and barbed wired? What? How does that seem normal? But Travolta and Tom Cruise and other celebrities can walk free and i'm sure they're on the internet. I guess what it comes down to is that if you keep paying you go up the bridge to the higher levels but if you can't pay you have to earn your keep to move up? That's crazy. None of this makes sense. How can people be so gullible?

Yikes. That's awful.

Can you imagine attending one of the CoS events and you see all the fancy cars and there you are with your old Toyota falling apart?

I would think that would be enough of a wake up call that something is wrong. David Miscaviage is so gross.

Still, some of their homes and the areas they live in seem too nice or costly for people starting from zero, even after years of work. So far we have only seen former members who are somehow living middle to upper middle class lifestyles despite having to start completely over. It's hard to get to or maintain that status for people who have worked and received salaries their entire working life.

I don't what it means, but there's something odd about it. Maybe some of them received decent enough profits from the books they've written or interviews they've given.

I wonder how able they would be to find a job where they can use their skill set or expertise if their only experience was working in those specialties for the Church of Scientology--I doubt anyone would be giving them a reference. I don't know how receptive hiring managers would be to people who were trained by an organization that's viewed so poorly by those outside of it. Having ten years of training from a cult seems about as credible as a PhD from Devry.

Most of them have been in since they were teenagers, I'm guessing few of them have more than a high school education, if they even have an education outside of the Sea Org or home schooling. So many of the stories have been that they joined the Sea Org at some time in their mid to late teens and became a cog in the organization. I don't remember anyone mentioning college or professional training (even after they got out).
