Blown for Good - Marc Morgan Headley [28]
My posting was approved and HCO Area Secretary it was. As far as I knew, I was the youngest division head in the building. It was more depressing than it was impressive. I was going to have to do all of the functions of the entire division on my own. I could not complain about people since that was one of my departments! The Executive Director, Rena Weinberg, told me that I had to get more people! She briefed me on how Martha and Boris (the two people that recruited me) were supposed to get another 10 people into ABLE before they could do their new project and that this would help, but that I needed to get some new people on my own.
There was also the matter of the statistics. I had a number of these that I had to report each week. Every single Scientology organization in the world had to report their statistics each week. It was sort of a ritual. The week ended at precisely 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. Anything that happened up until that point in the week was counted and reported up. All of these statistics from all around the world were being funneled to a great big think tank that would analyze the statistics and give direction on how to get them back up from going down or further up. No matter who was or wasn’t reviewing them, I had to make sure that I kept track of all of the stats I was responsible for or heavy penalties would be assessed.
Among these statistics were Bulk Mail Out, Letters Out and Letters In as well as Admin Personnel / Tech Personnel. My life would revolve around these stats. For bulk mail out, I would get mailing lists from the Complex and then get the lists to the bulk mail house company who’d receive the promo from commercial printers and then mail out all these glossy fliers.
For letters out, I would have to sit at reception and type hundreds of form letters to lists of people that had donated money to ABLE Int and ask them to donate more money.
For new recruits, I would also write letters to all of the people that had filled out any personnel surveys or info questionnaires that ABLE Int had.
Bulk mail out and letters seemed easy enough to get out each week. I just had to make sure that I did a bit more each week. Week after week, no new staff showed up. Martha and Boris had gotten a bunch of people to the Estates Project Force, but none were graduating and making it to ABLE Int.
I was also in charge of Chinese School at the three daily meetings, or musters. Each day all of the crew had to line up by division in front of the org board of ABLE Int and learn every section of the board verbatim. We had to learn all of the posts, divisions and valuable final products for all areas of ABLE Int. We did this for 15 minutes each day or until the Executive Director, Rena Weinberg, said that we were done.
ABLE Int’s Valuable Final Product was “Subvert the subverters by creating an overwhelming popularity for LRH’s social betterment technology and cause a total revolution in the fields of drug rehabilitation, education, criminal reform and morality.”
I was not sure how my writing form letters every day was “subverting any subverters” but I did them anyway. After weeks and weeks of getting no new recruits, I had to try something different. I had been assigned lowered conditions several times and was going to be given a Committee of Evidence if I did not get some recruits into ABLE. Lowered Conditions were a set of policies by LRH that dictated steps that one had to do based on Conditions of Existence. There were higher states such as “AFFLUENCE” and “POWER
