MORE AT THE LINK.A recent message from a Church of Scientology staff member on David St Lawrence’s blog possiblyhelpfuladvice.com was brought to my attention. I repeat it here:
I have a slightly different analysis:
This is the file of Declare Orders received at my Org in the past 6 months. It’s over 300 pages. We have been accumulating Declare orders in our files at this rate for the past four years. That basically amounts to 2500 people who were declared on paper.
Assuming that the claims of 40,000 Scientologists worldwide are anywhere near accurate, that means that 6% of Scientologists have been lost to outright Declares in the past four years.
[SNIP]
If 2500 have been declared in the last 4 years (and that may be a low figure), then that is 12.5% of the 20,000 “core faithful”. I have observed that for each person SP Declared, at least another one or two slip away (he puts it higher than that). Taking the conservative estimate again of 1.5 lost for every person declared this puts it at 31% of the core of the Scientology church has either been kicked or walked out the door in the last 4 years.
