Here are a couple RPF stories explaining a bit about how hard it is to get off the RPF these days. Remember also that all your ID, money, credit cards, Passport and liscences are kept locked up. In many cases Sea Org have disconnected from their outside families and fear losing all their families and friends on the inside if they just leave. Many joined as teens and have never had a real job or even finished High School. They have spent years being told the outside world is dangerous and they have not been allowed to read the Internet, watch TV or even read Newspapers or magazines for years.
It is not as easy as it might seem to someone who has never been in that situation.

RPF Insider said:Do you know why there are so
few guys that graduate the RPF program? Well, check this out. A new "Final
Assessment" came down from INT about a year ago.A " twin-ship" has to assess
this list on each other on the E-Meter. There cannot be any reactions or
reads on the needle at all, on the following questions. The slightest bad
thought or incorrect idea in any of these areas would create a reaction on
the needle. About 30-40% of the entire RPF is on this last step - BUT ARE
NOT MAKING IT THROUGH! This is supposed to be a "final check" on the entire
program, which takes an average of 1-2 years although some guys take much
longer, for example Ken Shapiro has been on the RPF for about 6 years. Great
PR and expectations have been shoved down our throats that the RPF should
only take 6 months, which is practically impossible. It's a twisted dream
turning into a nightmare and many twinships at the end of the program are
really getting frustrated and are not making it through.
....
Someone
decides "that's it" no more chances and then evidence is held against you
and you have no defense against "Scientology Justice." If some high exec
decides you are out -- then you are! This final assessment for graduating
the RPF is a printed list and available to any RPFer so it's easy to get
hold of. How would you like to have these questions barked in your face,
while on a video camera? Then expecting that it's a clean needle on the
emeter, and you fully agree...
1. Regarding Int Execs, do you have an evil purpose?
2. Regarding Int Execs. do you have a vicious intent?
3. Regarding Int Execs, have you been spreading Black PR?
4. Regarding RTC Execs, do you have an evil purpose?
5. Regarding RTC Execs, do you have a vicious intent?
6. Regarding RTC Execs, have you been spreading Black PR?
7. Regarding LRH, do you have an evil purpose?
8. Regarding LRH. do you have a vicious intent?
9. Regarding LRH, have you been spreading Black PR?
10. Regarding LRH, do you have any bad thoughts?
11. Are you secretly disaffected with Management?
12. Do you have any withholds from RTC?
13. Do you have any intention to stop Scientology?
14. Do you have any intention to stop Scientology dissemination?
15. On your RPF program, has an evil purpose been missed?
This has to be done on a video, with a close up on the dial and the PreClear
holding the cans. It's done as a full formal session and if you go to the
examiner afterwards and your needle is not "floating," meaning that you are
happy and agree, then you have to go back in session again -- over and over.
When you think you have a "clean assessment" you send it to the RPF I/C for
inspection and when he agrees he sends it on to the Senior C/S WUS in CMO
across the street for final approval. When it's approved for both you and
your twin, you have filled the last requirement on the program and can
submit your full data for final approval to RTC to graduate. Of an average
of 180 RPFers, there are 1 or 2 twinships that graduate every 4-6 months.
There are many more being assigned to the RPF in that time period and there
are quite few that get Fitness Boarded out if they don't move on the program
with their twin. You are basically 100% responsible for your twin, and
anything happening to him/her is your responsibility. In other words, nobody
is graduating alone, but always and only with your assigned twin. For some
reason there have been quite a lot RPF arrivals over the last few months
coming down from Int or OSA or GOLD. They don't look happy. Maybe they have
disagreements or they cannot put up with the Management or the regime of
David Miscarriage or are unable to please him with what he expects out of
their abilities. For some reason it's not a priority for us to see the
International events anymore. It used to be "an information line" to let all
RPFers know what is going on. We were about to see the LRH Birthday event in
March this year, and were seated and ready to see it, then the RPF I/C came
in and canceled it. We had to go and clean our rooms and then go to bed.
Maybe there was something on there that was not good for us to see?? Usually
the glorious Birthday Game is the highlight of the year, it covers all the
big wins and international expansion. I'm really curious to find out why we
couldn't see it, and I will, once I get out of here...
Everyone assigned to the RPF has to sign a waiver that one is doing the
program on his on volition for the purpose of getting oneself redeemed. No
one is forced to do the RPF and technically people are not held here against
their will, but nobody wants to be here. I believe that the majority are
working hard on this program, originally outlined by LRH on the ship Apollo.
They want to "make good" and "be forgiven" so they can get back in the group
and back to their old buddies and "help clear the planet." It might sound
fanatic and it is. But that's what is crammed in to your head when working
in the Sea Org. After many years, you forget how important other parts of
life are, like any interests, sport, hobbies and much less having any kind
of decent family life. So RPFers dedicate themselves to do all they can, and
they hang in there year after year on the RPF trying to graduate -- however,
one day you are told, "that's it!". Your time is up and you didn't make it,
so you get Fitness Boarded out of the Sea Org. Then you get dumped on the
street with severance pay of $500.
There is a totally different approach for someone who WANTS to leave. If you
say you want to leave, this is called "a blow." Then you get sec checked
over and over and not until several questions have been totally cleaned and
you have a "floating needle" are you allowed to complete the rest of the
steps to finally be able to go.
Chuck Beatty said:2 Flag RPFers hoped to graduate the RPF with the help of the Golden
Age of Tech "Drills Simulator."
Sometime in the early 2000s, a pair of Flag RPFers who were "twinning"
on the Clearwater RPF, decided they'd beat the bureaucratic system,
and use DM's Golden Age of Tech sparkling device known as the "Drills
Simulator" to their advantage.
It backfired and the two were offloaded from the Sea Org promptly, for
their creative efforts, which I suppose actually was a great way to
get out of the Sea Org.
The Drills Simulator is electronic console device that was implemented
in 1996 when the Golden Age of Tech realistic drilling procedures were
implemented. The Drills Simular small console with buttons is hooked
up to the Super Mark VIIs and Quantum emeters, and pushing buttons on
the Drills Simulator console produces emeter reactions on the emeter,
thus the Drills Simulator is a key part of the new Golden Age of
Tech's realistic drills. The GAT drills are in the nifty binders that
take up about 30 feet of shelf space in all class rooms in all churchs
internationally. The Drills Simulator is a mainstay device for
realistic training of new auditors.
Well also the RPFs around the world have GAT drills for the RPFers,
and they all use the Drills Simulator in precisely the same way for
the RPFers training.
After their training the RPFers spend months/years auditing one
another's created "evil purposes" to Floating Needle and evil purposes
"blown" out of their minds.
One all their evil purposes are extinguished with Hubbard's technical
processing, the RPFers must do a final 30 question assessment (calling
off of about 30 questoins to which they SHOULD NOT react negatively)
to show that the RPFers are truly all squeaky clean and ready to
return honestly to Sea Org staffer duty.
Anyways, the final final requirement technically is what is called a
"Clean Assessment" the list of about 30 questions which is video'd and
a video of the emeter's needle reaction must demonstrate a perfectly
"clean" needle throughout the 30 question assessement.
Well this pair of creative Flag RPFer twins decided to hook up their
meter to the Drills Simulator, and they punched the Drills Simulator
console button calling up a "Persistent Small Floating Needle" which
showed up on their emeter, and that was video'd and they turned in
their video'd perfect "Persistent Small Floating Needle" for their
"Final Assessment Video" but alas, they got caught and offloaded
(summarily kicked out of the Sea Org).
This incident, and the creative efforts of these two Sea Org RPFers is
an important historical incident, which I think is hugely indicative
of Scientology.
