A Day in the RPF part three
We have finished eight hours of grueling physical labor. Riding the bus back to big blue, we are filthy and tired.
We, as the black sheep of the Sea Org, are not allowed to be visible, we can’t talk to Sea Org members, we must run everywhere. And no elevators allowed.
We get dropped off where the dumpsters are in a place called the North 40. All 200 RPFers now run through the loading dock area, up two flights of stairs to where our shower bags are, then run down three flights to the basement, down the long hallways to the main building stairs, then up, up, up, to the 7th floor for showers.
We have about 20 minutes to get all of us through showers. The showers are communal. We all manage to shower, then run down seven flights plus two more flights to the basement, across the long hallway to return our shower bags.
During this time you have a minute to check your mailbox to see if any friends or family wrote to you. We cannot originate any communication, but if someone writes to us we can respond.
Now we all go to the main dining room and eat our dinner. Depending how fast you did your
shower, you have time to eat and maybe even squeeze in a smoke.
After all that, all 200 of us run down a flight of stairs to the RPF courseroom.
Every RPFer learns how to do Scientology interrogations using the Scientology e-meter.
This is done in a read-it, drill-it, do-it fashion.
They learn the absolute minimum in order to interrogate their twin. The twin is two people assigned to get each other all the way through the RPF program.
Getting through ALL of the interrogations is a requirement to completing the program to get back into the Sea Org.
All auditing and interrogation sessions are done in a giant room. Everyone can hear everyone else’s auditing sessions. People are seated shoulder to shoulder, holding e-meter cans and getting interrogations for the next five hours.
Once it’s 10pm, the auditing sessions are wrapped up, written up and submitted to a Case Supervisor for review.
Everyone then has a quick muster and off to berthing to bed. Lights out 11 pm. A guard outside the berthing all night will wake us again at 6:15 for another day of grueling labor, then five hours of interrogations.
I’ve heard from many Sea Org members who prefer the RPF to the Sea Org schedule. Some Sea Org think of the RPF as a vacation from the Sea Org. They would rather be in the RPF because they get regular meals, sleep and a schedule.
