Hello from Scooter

[scooter]

G'day, my name is Paul Schofield and I first began my association with Scientology in Feb 1979. Since then I have been a staff member for over twenty years then worked on and off at narconons until May this year. Since then I've beentrying to work out what the hell is going on in the place. Last Sunday nught (while I was ironically finally getting a supposed Justice cycle suqashed by the Supercargo OAHS ANZO) my wife was being reged over the phone for donos for the Bsaics to Libraries Campaign. She was told that $126 million had been raised and that $4 million was needed. Laudable, but why was it that I'd never seen these books in either of the two public libraries I visit regularly with my kids? I wound up googling "nation library database" (I suggest you do too - it has all the databases from lots of counrties) and found that Australia, with over 800 libraries, has only 177 Bsaics books scattered through those libraries. We were told a year ago there was full sets of 18 books each in EVERY library in Oz. So, Scooter says farewell to the group that is either criminal or screamingly inefficient enough to waste (by my rough maths) over $120 million of it's parishoners' funds and keep asking for more. I'll tell my full story but for now, here I am and I'm glad to be here. I'm learning a lot more here than I ever did talking to terminals from the Church. See ya around.

Why does it have to be one or the other? How about screamingly inefficient AND criminal?

Welcome!!
