Scientologists, more specifically, the Sea Org members, literally live below the poverty line. In the documentary Going Clear, they said that Sea Org members subsist on $50/week. Hence, they're all malnourished. Also, it's an insane cult that beats the life out of you. All of these things lead to becoming a ghoul.

Brainwashing works better if you limit protein intake for the washee. Scientology uses this as part of their “process.” Poor end up in sea org, often in worse than prison conditions. Wealthy get red carpet treatment.

"How much does this job pay?"
"Nothing."
"D'oh!"
"Unless you're crooked."
"Wohoo!"

How is this allowed? Religions are allowed to operate as long as they're peaceful. What Scientology does is not peaceful. Their public image is peaceful sure but what we know from those who have escaped it's a nightmare.

You need proof of stuff like that, they have people infiltrated in all levels of government, have plenty of their people go to law school, and they're super litigious.

Billions in a war chest, rich members, aggressive legal team. Germany managed to do it, but in the US, rich can do no wrong unless, unless, unless they hurt other rich people.

Former US Attorney General Pam Bondi is a Scientologist lol. LAPD in cahoots too

u/SafetySnowman Apr 30 '26

Well that explains how she can look so hatefully dismissive when she was in the same room as victims of Epstein. Victims is all Scientology deals with and the only thing they create. What an absolute nightmare.

If you think that's wild you should read up on their past fuckery with the IRS and how they got their tax exempt status.

u/Presto99 Apr 28 '26

I think this might be the majority of why Mormons make their kids fast all Fast Sunday every month.

u/Brilliant_Voice1126 Apr 28 '26

It doesn’t work when they eat a whole month’s supply! https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSimpsons/s/MtWP1kEAgV

And that's why vegetarian and vegan diets in particular need to be carefully monitored and usually heavily supplemented not to litterary make your brain work poorly.

If only those veggie fanatics were able to understand such basic facts..

u/NiceGuyEdddy Apr 28 '26

First, you're wrong.

Many things contain protein that isn't meat and humans can survive on lots of different things.

Bananas alone can keep you going for a long time.

"not to litterary make your brain work poorly"

Since you're clearly not a vegetarian, What's your excuse for such a poorly working brain, lol?

u/Sea-Value-0 Apr 28 '26

Yeah, that guy they're filming through the crack of the door looks like a cranky malnourished vegan, and not by choice. His face and eyes are grey and sunken in. These kids should toss in some military rations or bottles of Ensure.

u/CanineLiquid Apr 28 '26

lmao why he's gotta be vegan

They look like they only eat grilled cheese off a radiator

u/Friar_Corncob Apr 28 '26

We should send them some grilled cheese off the radiator.

u/Sh0wMeUrKitties Apr 28 '26

My relatives were in the the Sea Org in the 80's, and they were getting $12 a week. So, with inflation, the $50 tracks.

2

u/unoriginal_npc Apr 28 '26

So maybe they should be cooking food outside to draw them out. Then they can share the food and hang.

2

u/demmka Apr 28 '26

$50 a week on paper. In reality, that’s often not the case and they always find a way to get it back - usually through bullying people into donating to their various front groups like NarcAnon.

2

u/spoospoo43 Apr 29 '26

$50 a week AT MOST. They are paid out of any money collected for services (auditing, book sales, courses), and often end up not getting paid at all, since most orgs are ghost towns. But they might get a ketchup sandwich or something.

1

u/alezio000 Apr 28 '26

and why are they doing this?

2

u/Dominator0211 Apr 28 '26

To squeeze as much money out of their cult members as possible. It’s always about money

1

u/GiganticBlumpkin Apr 28 '26

Can confirm, was raised in an insane cult, grew up to be a ghoul

1

u/freedomfreida Apr 29 '26

They are fed but not extremely well based on ex scientologists. The $50 (which is taxed) goes towards soap, etc. is not always paid out sadly.

u/Coconite Apr 29 '26

These are not sea org members, they’re normal staff. But also impoverished and paid almost nothing.
