I was reading an interview with a former Scientologist who had actually taken all the courses including the OT level 8 course which they have to spend something like 100,000 on and can only take it on the Scientology flag ship out at sea.

If we thought that OT level III the adventures of Xenu were crazy, in level 8 it basically talks about Jesus as a Pedophile and Budda as the anti-christ. They also trick you in this course because they give you this information while your being audited so they have you reading it while hooked to the e-meter.

For a lot of people reading this BS actually causes a reaction like in a lie detector so the meter will jump. Which means that you're not clear of thetans and you have to take the course over and over again at your cost, or they make you drop back and take level VII at your cost again and then go for your level VIII.

And then once he'd finally gotten over his this is crazy reaction after taking the course a few times and borrowing money from everyone he new to pay for it. He managed to pass this final test and was declared clear OT Level 8.

Then after Miscavige came on board he got a call saying that there was a problem with LRH's interpretation and he had to take the course again for a mere 170,000.00

This person left the church but did it in a way that actually didn't cause separation with family members who were still involved. He just stopped taking their calls, stopped going to their services and changed the city he lived in so he couldn't be found.

Eventually they just gave up on siphoning him for more money. But he figured to get to OT VIII he spent well over $500,000.00
