WARNING TO SCIENTOLOGISTS WHO WANT TO JOIN SEA ORG:

What you are about to read will change your perception of the “most ethical organization that the mankind had ever known“.

A new Sea Org member is often told that only the lazy bastards with low stats end up in RPF.

There is some truth in this statement; I would say that 30% of the RPF staff did fail to produce adequate stats. But the other 70% were sent to RPF for the “sins” that have nothing to do with the poor job performance. In fact, they did nothing that would justify their punishment. But before I explain why they were subjected to the horrific punishment, I would like to present several stories of the people who did not deserve the RPF humiliation.

Bill was an assistant course supervisor at ASHO Day. His job was easy by CoS standards: He was supposed to keep the classroom tables clean, supply the students with clay and other course-related materials, etc. His stats were normal and far above the level that would qualify him as an RPFer. And yet one day I saw him in RPF. He was so scared that could not make eye contact, and did not want to have a conversation with me (I was an ASHO Day student at that time).

I met Leanne when I was doing EPF chores; she was working at OT Org where I was mopping the floors during my first EPF week. Unlike other Sea Org members who did not like the noisy EPF folk, she was very friendly with me and my coworkers. Her stats were far above the average level. But that did not save her from RPF.

I met Christina after I was booted out of Sea Org. She was working for a computer org (I do not remember its official name; we all called it “computer org” because its staff were mostly computer programmers). She was a very experienced programmer, and a very smart person. She told me that the kind of programming she was doing for Sea Org was much simpler than the one that she used to do in real world. Yes, she was a smart cookie who had MS in Electrical Engineering with concentration in control systems theory (this is the most difficult EE major). But she was sent to RPF.
At that time I already knew why her good stats did not save her from RPF.

That faithful day I begun my Sea Org work at 6:00 AM, which was very unusual for me. It was Thursday the Stats Day; I wanted to finish my work before 2:00 PM (the former Sea Org members and CoS staff members know what this timeline means), and to take off for the rest of the day. As I was doing my work, I heard my bosses entering the building at 6: 30 AM. They both were talking loud not knowing that I was sitting in the next room.

I learned from my bosses’ conversation that they had an order from CMO (Commodore Messenger Org) to select two individuals for a slaughter, so to speak -- these poor souls were needed in RPF. You see, the RPF size should not go below certain level because CoS need a lot of people for manual labor .

All members of my Org had decent stats at that time, so our bosses were faced with a difficult choice. Several names were thrown around, then I heard one of them calling my name. “He won’t go”, said the other boss (he was damn right about that). They moved down the list of names without paying extra attention to my useless persona. Finally, they selected two individuals whose jobs were not crucial to the Org’s success.

Mighty Stalin used to do the same thing in Communist Russia -- he wanted to keep the Gulag Archipelago population at certain level by sending innocent people to the concentration camps. LRH was imitating Stalin with his RPF policies!

Year after I had left Sea Org one of my friends, who spent 7 years of his life in this twisted organization before saying goodbye to the Scientology scam, informed me that, indeed, LRH wrote several policy letters stating that the RPF size should increase as the years go by (apparently, he meant by that that the Sea Org will be expanding, so the percentage of RPF workers should remain the same). I was still a Scientologist at that time, so I thought that Hubbard the Mathematician was right.

Do not let the Sea Org Beast 666 to devour you.

I met Marcy Sargeant when I was taking courses at ASHO Foundation. She was third in command (I did not know her exact CoS title), her stats were off the chart. I was stunned when I saw her amongst the RPF folk.

Luckily for her, Marcy spent only 2 days slaving with the RPF crew. She returned to ASHO Foundation, but was demoted to the course supervisor level. I asked Marcy what happened to her. She told me that she did not pass the sec check given to her by a CMO member, and was sent to RPF. Her husband, who was also a Sea Org member, complained to a high-ranking CoS official. Marcy was immediately released from RPF.

She was given an explanation of her exile to RPF, sort of -- she was told that the person who gave her the sec check was using a defective e-meter, which resulted in false readings. ”Did he use a brand new e-meter?“, I asked. “No, it was an old model”, said Marcy. We tried to find a realistic explanation of this strange turn of events, but could not.

Now I am sure that I can explain Marcy’s misfortune -- the e-meter was improperly calibrated on purpose, it was designed to produce incorrect readings in order to keep RPF from shrinking. But Marcy’s stats was so high that it seemed ridiculous to even suggest that she had overts and withholds. The person who gave her the sec check knew nothing about her stats, he just wanted to keep his own stats high by sending Sea Org staff to RPF.

Thanks DLRH... and congrats for breaking free from the control of this ideology!

To even invent something like the "RPF" is such an unbelievable failure for someone who says he wants to make the world a better place.

Evidently in moments of insecurity he gladly took from the book of evil (e.g. Stalin).

If it weren't so sinister it would be simply laughingstock.

I was on staff around the time old L. Ron was setting up the rehabilitation project force (RPF). There were sea org members galore around on staff and coming in on missions. One of them had a course pack or something that had all the extant flag orders (FO (No, it's not an insult, really)) on the RPF.

It was set up the way bad things in $cientology get set up and then enforced. For example, "I've got a great idea! Let's not take any days off." (That actually happened.) I think I wasn't brainwashed sufficiently for the way Hubbard set this thing up. The first two or three FOs on it sold it as the best, kindest, nicest, most wonderful action that Hubbard had ever devised.

I had been debating with myself about joining the sea org. Once I had finished reading that pack of FOs I decided I never wanted to join up. I also feared that sooner or later that program would be pushed down on the lower orgs. From what I have read tastes of the RPF have been administered to non sea org staff members.

Hey, I've got a great idea! The so called church of $cientology should cease to exist.

Note of caution to the OSA personnel who monitor anti-Scientology websites: You will end up in RPF because you are not pure, you came in contact with extraordinary amount of anti-Scientology data.

You are getting regular sec checks, of course. But your bosses know how unreliable the e-meter is, they need more substantial proof of your loyalty. They have to cover their asses, too, because if you blow they will go to RPF for not being able to control you. The only way to guarantee your loyalty is to send you to RPF.

Several of your colleagues have gone to RPF, you were told that their stats were down. But this is a lie, their stats were as good as yours. But they spent too much time reading the SP data, and because of that they are deemed to be unreliable.

You are just one small step away from RPF. You know what to do if you want to protect yourself from the RPF humiliation.

Stalin was doing periodic purges of his staff by sending them to the Gulag Archipelago. He thought that they became unreliable because of prolonged exposure to the capitalist culture (they were traveling abroad, making contacts with foreign diplomats living in the USSR, etc). In short, their loyalty was in question.

David Miscavige does not trust you because of your job. He thinks that the only way to ensure your loyalty is to give you an “opportunity” to spend some time in RPF.

I think you already know that DM is not a trustworthy person. Save yourself from RPF!

Stalin spread terror because he would kill or imprison loyal and rule-following people as scapegoats, as a mistake, or for no apparent reason. Being loyal and following all the rules was no defense under Stalin, so everyone lived in fear and would rat on their neighbors to curry favor.

Is paved with good intentions...and maintained through bad intentions, I hate to use this, but also with bad ethics.

I'd love to see a RPF testimony thread from exes w/RPF experience that went: "I was assigned to the RPF."

I was assigned to the RPF because __________. While there I spent my days doing ___________. I was on the RPF for __ weeks/months/years.

When a person eventually gets "graduated" (I think that's the term used) from the rehabilitation project force (RPF) I'm pretty sure they write a "success story." I think it would be interesting to read some of those if anyone has some available.

"The ship stands quite ready to accept people back off the RPF, fully handled, fully capable in life and valuable. The RPF also waits for anyone fouling up habitually and injuring ship and crew survival."

Success stories are mandatory to graduate from the RPF.. Inmates are going to say anything..down to how nice & smooth DM's butt cheeks are to get out of the RPF.

This is Gerry Armstrong's success story from November 1977.
