Sean OstlerFormer scientologist. Sean Ostler (Dec. 1999): "An IAS event I attended..."
One particular event stands out in my mind. It was about two
years ago on a Saturday night. They had assembled about 40 of
us in a room. A Sea Org
IAS reg, who I had dealings with previously (more on this later)
was running the show. Her name was Bridget and she was one of
the most aggressive, ruthless, unreasonable regs I have ever
met.
Toward the beginning of the meeting, we were informed that she needed to raise $28,000 that night. Over the course of the evening she used every peer-pressure, group-manipulation tactic imaginable to get the people in the audience to part with their money. |
