the people involved spend 1/2 of their day doing study and counseling that
other staff members only get to spend a little bit of each day on, but this
activity is the most popular activity for all staff to do, one of the main
benefits of being a staff member of the church

and

the other half of the day involves manual labor such as gardening, repair work,
sweeping up, etc, all activities which are permitted, and even sought out, in
society generally by teenage job seekers and others such as immigrants without
any objection by regulatory agencies of the state.

Your general recitation of horrors indicates that at various times substandard
conditions have been the case for RPF staff members.  As to the credibility of

down to a few tales of substandard conditions and rude treatment what makes up
several decades of various experiences under various management done by
thousands of people who all have DIFFERENT experiences of the RPF.
