What happens inside Scientology?

It used to be in Scientology, you pay for courses, or counseling, and spend what time you can in the evenings and weekends doing those courses or receiving counseling to help you improve your life. Counselling, called Auditing (literally listening) is the biggest gain people report from Scientology. Its like sitting down with someone who will listen to you and fully understand you. The gains are on par to having a good conversation with someone who really understands you. Scientology has made a profession out of it. Auditor (one who listens). Only today, in Scientology, there isn't an emphasis on auditing people. Course rooms are nearly empty of anyone training to be auditors. Auditors and even the annual Auditors Day Celebration has downsized to a local organization event if it happens at all. When the Golden Age of Tech first came out, Auditors day was canceled that year. Smart because all auditors were about to lose their certs and be accused on never auditing properly from the beginning of auditing. They needed to pay for the new materials and train again before being allowed to audit. This happened again a couple years later. Imagine going to college to become an engineer, graduating, getting a job for a few decades. Then your college calls you up and says your training was incorrect. Your degree in engineering is invalid and you need to re-do your training with the new materials. Oh yeah, you need to pay for it again. That's what happened in Scientology to auditors in the last few years. It happened twice. Today, in Scientology, the focus is on new church buildings and fundraising for them. Then the focus becomes donating to the IAS so they can eradicate the heavily promoted evil profession of Psychiatry. None of them will go near a Psychiatrist or associate with anyone who knows one. They even claim that Psychiatrists are in other places in the galaxy and have been around trying to enslave man "for many lifetimes". So expect to be invited to fundraising events where you are guilted into forking over your cash for a new building to replace the old one. After you pay Scientology for a building you will never have any legal ownership over, or any real equity in, they will CONTINUE and ramp up the IAS (international association of Scientologists) fund raising to fight "the enemy" and encourage you to reach your next "Status". That's pretty much what happens in Scientology. It's a long con/money making scam that has accumulated over a billion in real estate assets and cash holdings as-of 2013. They are squeezing the last members as tight as they can for money and people are leaving it in droves.
