Bella Cruise called her mother Nicole Kidman "a fucking SP." (Suppressive Person)

Bella Cruise called her mother Nicole Kidman "a fucking SP."

In Scientology, "SP" = Suppressive Person.

New York Daily News: Leah Remini says things got weird at celeb-studded dinner before Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wedding in new book 'Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology'

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

The Daily News obtained a copy of Remini’s explosive new exposé “Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology” in advance of its Tuesday release.

According to Remini’s book, Cruise’s two adopted kids from his previous marriage to actress Nicole Kidman were heavily under the Scientology sway.

Brooklynite Remini shared a post-wedding ride to the airport with kids Bella and Connor, asking if they’d seen their mother recently.

“Not if I have a choice,” snapped Bella, according to the book. “Our mom is a fucking SP.”

Sea Org no longer admits children

At 9:30 in this video the narrator says, "The Church says children are no longer admitted into the Sea Org".

Is this true?
If so, when did they stop admitting children?
Does this include everyone under the age of 18 in all countries?
Are they getting around this by having children file for emancipation or other technicalities?
Can anyone point to a written document supporting this statement?

Jon Atack vs the axioms

And in this corner, wearing green and yellow, are the Dianetic Axioms... Oh, you can hear the bellowing of the crowd as the contenders approach each other - Jon wearing shining trunks of logic lashes out with a bottle of scotch and an evening with Hubbard, and the axioms parry with a body blow of self evident truth and an upper cut of the viewpoint of dimension. The fight is a bloody mess - syntax dripping from the contenders, even the lowly typo finds its way into the fray, as the Scientology Axioms attempt to tag team Jon in a heroic body slam, which he narrowly averts.

It's one of those posts like his and Chris Shelton's attack on past lives that rankle and elucidate.

I never really had a problem with life being a static - it makes a certain amount sense, and space being a viewpoint of dimension? Why not. it seems simple enough to me, but apparently it is a tautologic mess. Whatever. I think it has a certain beauty in its brevity. Compare it to actuality. Space is a lot of unbounded volume whose limits are unknown or are expanding at the speed of light ever since the big bang.

But, Jon - carry on. I like shock and awe as you point out the flaws I skimmed over on the well taped path out of the sticky dark.

Hello Everyone, Good to see Im not the only SP - Ex Sea Org INCOMM

With all the attention on Scientology lately I was curious to see if there was a discussion board like this. Its strange that even some 20+ years later Scientology still gives me the chills.

I was a Sea Org member recruited eventually to serve within INCOMM as the CLASS IV REG IC. To this day I am still impressed with the tech that Scientology was managing at the time.

I was recruited out of a Class IV Org in Santa Barbara not long after my first military discharge. I was days away from being evicted from my apt and looking for a job downtown where I ran into a Reg on the street. 1 Week later, I'm stacked up 3 high in the "dorm" apts on Fountain St in Hollywood. My first Sea Org job, outside of the 6 days a week of classes, was working in the kitchen prepping huge vats of Oatmeal and taking turns running the dishwasher. How lucky was I to get a weekly stipend of $30 and a few free hours on Sunday to wash my clothes! Anyone in the 90's remember the convenience store just down the street from INCOMM that offered a few Arcade Games? That was my escape for a few hours each night.

Apparently my aptitude and auditing demonstrated a bigger role and it wasn't long before I entered INCOMM.

Months and months of clay demos, looking up the definition of "IF" and "THE" and I reach a point where I start asking questions in the class. Report, Auditing, Report, Auditing, I am eventually given a warning. Amazingly they move me out of the dorms and into a room just behind the Scientology building (I forget the street) with another long term Sea Org member who is OT3 (who was really an amazing person, she was one of the old time euro recruits who came over after Scientology was booted from Spain). I am managing some 360+ Class IV Reg Reports and apparently doing well enough they are trying to keep me happy.

A young friend of mine visits my room late one night and tells me that his parents have gone "downline". Presumably they joined Watchdog and apparently felt their own son was a detraction. 2 days later hes labelled a suppressive and booted. He's 17 years old. His parents were never naturalized. He has spent his entire life in Scientology, his day job is at Bridge Pub. Ultimately he's deported to NZ as his parents cant be located and they have completely "Disconned". 2 weeks later I exit INCOMM and keep walking.

With just the clothes on my back and maybe $10 in my pocket I am alone, homeless and an SP. Before long I re-up with the Army and put my life back on a positive track.

I am very happy the truth is starting to grow bigger than even the machine of Scientology can handle. I saw so many things during my tenure that should have shook me out of my trance. How about hiding away people from the police with door after door of push locks. Just getting to my office took getting through 8 uniquely keyed doors.

Anyways, its good to know I am not alone and was well justified to leave even though it took me far too long. Thanks for the forums and am looking forward to reading other peoples stories.

My wife wants to join the church of Scientology.

Hello everyone. I am new to the board. I don't even know if it is the right Forum.
However, I have a somewhat urgent matter and I was wondering if I could get some advice.
My BPD wife of 15 years and I have decided to separate.
To safe everyone a little time, I spare the juicy details. Let's just say it's been
a long haul and its for the best.
We have 3 children together of (8, 12, 14). My stepdaughter (19)is moved out and joined the
Church of Scientology in Salt Lake City back in April.
I did not find out until recently. We currently reside in Idaho.
My family has been going through the anxiety and emotions that are associated with
a separation over the last week and my wife has not informed me about any plans she might have.
I am still in a state of shock, since we where married for 15 years and it's a big change.
Last weekend she went to visit my stepdaughter in SLC. She came back very exited telling me all about the Organization and how nice everyone is.
I didn't pay much attention to it, since she has had her manic days and ultimately this is the reason for our divorce, her mental illness.
Tonight my oldest daughter told me that Mom wants to move to SLC and join the Church herself.
Knowing my wife, I realize that she is serious about it.
So to come to a point, my question is:
What if she wants to take the kids to Utah with her.
I know she can't just get up and take them legally,....but what if?
How serious is this? Even if she moves to Utah by herself and joins the Church, do I have to worry about my kids being around the church?
She used to be a devoted Christian and even though I didn't agree with it either I respected that in her.
I know I'm a bit behind on my homework about Scientology, so please bare with me.
I'd appreciate any input...... Thank you in advance...
My wife wants to join the church of Scientology.

Katie Holmes Speaking Out About Scientology

When Holmes and Tom Cruise divorced in 2012, she seemingly cut all ties to the controversial religion. Cruise adamantly denied reports claiming he chose Scientology over Suri, his now 9-year-old daughter with Holmes. The Giver star herself, however, stayed mum on the topic—but now, apparently, she's ready to break her silence.

Katie Holmes Speaking Out About Scientology

Yes I'm out....mostly because I'm out

Hi, I am new here and just wanted to share my story. I had been a scientologist for over 10 years. I did all the right things...co-auditing on Book One, lots of metered co-auditing, two purifs, completed the books and lecture BASICS courses. Trained through Upper Indocs. Last fall I originated clear during my NED DRD and that's when the poop hit the fan. The DofP laughed at me in an after session interview, telling me "No matter what, you won't be going to Flag to do CCRD, it's not going to work that way for you." Then my folder went away for 9 weeks and when it returned the same DofP told me I wasn't clear that I was just having relief and that I would need at least a few more rundowns. At the same time they routed my 2D into a SecCheck and at the end of that, oddly enough the same day I finished the NED DRD we were both sent to ethics and I was taken off NED so we could both do Student Hat (again), the PTS/SP course and PTS/SP Specialist course. After that I could back onto NED. However, I know that I am clear, WTF. My completion of DRD was never acknowledged and the push was on to get $15,000 upfront for the three prescribed actions. Meanwhile another public with no training and 3 drug reversions went clear. What's the difference you ask? He is straight and I am gay and in an out and committed relationship. We left the CoS that day. It's been a weird transition, but a necessary one indeed. I'm glad to be here, and out, and out!

Jerry O'Connell Is Still Hiding from Tom Cruise and Scientology

From the HuffPost....

In one of the more memorable assertions that was popularized by the 2015 HBO-released documentary "Going Clear," Tom Cruise is worshipped by the Church of Scientology as a sort of living god, who deserves to be given whatever his perhaps not mortal heart desires.

Cars, parties, women trained to be his ideal girlfriend -- the Church gifts them to Cruise.

Keeping that in mind, it's understandable that actor Jerry O'Connell has lived life in fear ever since he teamed up in 2008 with Funny or Die to parody Cruise's recently leaked Scientology recruitment video.....

Scientology PI again following the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige

Scientology PI again following the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige.

Mike Rinder: Miscavige Goon

http://ift.tt/1katxFa


* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

So, naturally, when Ron Miscavige went to visit some old friends in Portland, Dave just couldn’t resist. I guess he was especially worried as there are a few ex-base staff there including one of his former RTC Executives Shelly Britt, ex-Marketing Executive Jeff Hawkins and the former Chief of Security Gold Jackson Morehead.

Ron and his wife were staying with Shelly and here is how she reported it:

I was having trouble with my wifi and noticed a “NSA Surveillance Van 23” on my “available wifi” list (it disappeared after 10 or 15 minutes). Knowing it wasn’t the NSA I was prompted to go outside and check things out. (Ron and Becky were away visiting with other friends.)

From my driveway, I noticed a white Ford SUV pulling in to the Animal Clinic nearby. It parked with a clear view of our driveway. And it looked exactly like the black SUV that was clearly following us home from the airport Saturday when we picked up Ron and Becky (it was a rental and disappeared after we let him know we knew what he was doing).

Another vehicle then pulled into the Animal Clinic parking lot and blocked the white SUV’s view. The dude moved to another location, again with a clear view of my driveway. A few minutes later a large delivery truck pulled up and blocked his view. He moved again.

At that point I got my fiance, Randy, who went out and snuck up behind him. He told the guy that David Miscavige could go fuck himself. That got his attention. Any normal person would be like “wtf are you talking about?” But not this guy — he knew damn well “wtf”. He pulled out his camera to take a picture of Randy, but forgot to remove lens cap. He had surveillance equipment on the front seat next to him. He got out of his car so we could get a full frontal. Randy told him he was going to contact the police and the dude made a hurried departure.

It’s the same guy that was following us Saturday, just a different vehicle.

This is VERY typical scientology PI behavior. They use rental cars as there is no chain that can link them directly to the church. They usually drive SUVs because they are higher off the ground so its easier to maintain sight of cars you are following. But the vehicles are common enough not to be memorable. And they switch out cars every day or if they are “blown.”

And this guy looks like the typical low-rent PI that get hired for this sort of short-term fair-gaming. Reminiscent of the PI that bought my garbage (you can see him in the third video in this posting).

Hi all

I'm from Melbourne, Australia.

I have never been a Scientologist. Long story short, I visited the Melbourne org (the old grungy one) for a personality test in 1999. At the end I said I wasn't interested in buying books. I got yelled at for my trouble. I discovered Operation Clambake shortly afterwards.

There's another account I made floating around. I can't remember the username. It was years ago.

Anyway, I'll see you around.

The Church of Sleep Deprivation: How Scientology Keeps Its Workers Compliant and Childless

It’s not just DeCrescenzo. Other former Sea Org workers talk of difficult, arguably abusive working conditions, from swabbing the decks of ocean-going vessels to cleaning toilets with toothbrushes to doing construction without any safety equipment.

What those stories all have in common is lack of sleep. As Van Winkle’s reports, there may be no more sleep-deprived workforce in the country than Scientology's Sea Organization.

The PR that will fall out of this interview will be pretty awesome. An entire prime time hour devoted to exposing the insanity of this organization could easly be the biggest single PR "flap" of the year, perhaps even bigger than Alex Gibney's documentary, though the comparison is not intended to minimize the effect of that film. Comparisons are perhaps not all that important, since in both cases, millions of people will see these programs and will decide that Scientology is more toxic than radioactive goat turds -- it almost doesn't matter which one has more millions of viewers, since the magnitude in both cases is pretty awesome.

But the thing that will really send Miscavige over the edge is the idea that the KR's concerning Leah Remini and her husband were leaked by others in the cult, not by Leah herself, and that the leak went straight to Tony. The number of people who had access to those documents has to have been relatively small. And given the fact that they're filed through the celebrity Ethics apparatus, the people involve have to be hand-picked and highly trusted. After all, they're involved in funneling stuff directly to Miscavige for his voyeuristic pleasure, and that's a secret that must be kept quiet.

The relatively weak denials to the external press (no lawsuit threats from Bert Fields or Marty Singer, or even from D-Team bottom-of-the-barrel attorney Gary Soter) might suggest that Miscavige thinks he has the damage from this TV appearance in hand. But the revelation of this leak ought to send him absolutely and completely into orbit. I certainly wouldn't like to be anyone within a couple of miles of the Celebrity Centre for the next couple of weeks as the sec checkers get really busy.

Well played, Tony, well played!

Spiritual Rescue Technology: "Sending your LRH library to the dump is a good start"

Post-Scientology Spiritual Rescue Technology says: "Sending your LRH library to the dump is a good start."

It appears post-Scientology Spiritual Rescue technology is trying to ally with critics of the Church of Scientology, such as Alonzo.

Possibly Helpful Advice: Caring for your L Ron Hubbard Library

http://ift.tt/1RbcCgP

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *






After you have left the cult of Scientology, it can take years before you realize how little of Ron Hubbard’s work was his or even original. Even then, you keep those tapes, cassettes and DVDs in their shiny wrappers and your boxes full of Red, Blue and Green volumes because you might find a use for them.

Wait another few years and you see entire sets of these materials being sold for under $100 with almost no takers.

You wait another few years and you find you cannot even give the materials away! Now what are you going to do with this dumpster load of “once valuable” materials?

If you are like Alonzo, a seasoned observer of the Scientology scene, you find a fitting receptacle for this material and you write a blog post that will encourage others to face up to their unfortunate tendency to hoard useless bits of our former lives.

I saw this image on Alonzo’s Blog, Recovery From Scientology, where Alonzo presents objective information about the history of Scientology and the tricks Hubbard played on people to indoctrinate them. His blog gives you the information to evaluate those tricks and to examine your own vulnerabilities that he exploited.

When I started this blog many years ago, the focus was on exposing the insanities of the cult of Scientology and helping people to recover from their cult indoctrination. I have moved on from trying to wake up cult members to working with people who wish to communicate with spirits.

I am doing what many others have decided to do and that is to pursue the spiritual enlightenment that Scientology never delivered.

I developed Spiritual Rescue Technology to allow people off the street to accomplish what OT7s and OT8s cannot do and that is to communicate and work with spiritual beings as equals. Our students quickly realize that Scientology body thetans are just Hubbard’s version of spirit guides which have been well known for hundreds of years.

You do not have to work with spiritual beings at all. They will continue to affect you and control you and you will go on wondering why you have fears and urges you cannot control. On the other hand, if you are still looking for what was promised in Scientology and never delivered, you just might want to check out spiritual-rescue-technology.com

You do not have to move on in a search for meaning in life, but you should at least get rid of the false data that you have been hoarding for so long.

Sending your LRH library to the dump is a good start.

Scilon uniform designer/Troll is successful

His most recent commission hasn't been for an art piece, though, but a uniform. Last year he was approached by the Church of Scientology in Riverside County, California, who wanted him to design its new costumes. While it may seem strange - worthy of a reality TV show, even - that the man who created Brüno's mankini would be commissioned to make the uniforms of L Ron Hubbard's spiritual rehabilitation group, it's true.

"It's odd, I know, I get that," says Alper, smiling, obviously keen to tell his story. "I took a meeting with them, and it was really weird. I mean, look, I'm not a Scientologist, I'm not even religious, but when I went for the first meeting they sat me down and very carefully, almost methodically talked me through what they wanted from me. I couldn't believe it. Not only was it an amazing job and an amazing opportunity, but it has turned out to be one of the great working experiences of my life."

A group of senior Scientologists drove all the way to Lab Art in LA, sat on the same sofa, and told Alper what they wanted. "We spoke about what they already had, what I thought was wrong with that, and what I thought they needed to change their image slightly. So for the guys I designed an eight-button blue suit, a turn-of-the-century, high-fastening, double-breasted suit. When I worked in Woodhouse we stocked this designer called Giuliano Fujiwara who made this sensational eight-button suit. I could never afford to buy it, so this uniform is my homage to it. My first meeting with them was 18 months ago, and I was pretty confident that, given the circles of change, this kind of suit would be back again."

Alper told them their previous uniforms were shapeless, too utilitarian, and far too aggressive. "For the men, I said that I'd like to do something in a really dark navy, with a black lapel. Just look at every man on the red carpet these days - every designer's doing it, albeit single-breasted. For the women everything's suddenly a lot shapelier, and I even gave them the option of Capri pants. I'm not doing anything crazy, but I just wanted to do something really stylish, and that would last, and that would be kind of timeless. I think it was really brave of the Church to listen to me, to collaborate with me. It just really was such a great experience. And now they're in production. They were just so great to work with."

And her grammar, vocabulary and understanding of geography is about 5th grade level. Puerto Rico is “off the cuff” of the US? An ideal org in Puerto Rico is “our way to really create a huge WTH movement across all the Western Hemisphere”

But the really good news — Puerto Rico is only “1.4 million miles away” from buying a building. Why they don’t just say dollars really is bizarre.

Austria
The Church of Scientology, the Unification Church, and a number of smaller religious groups are organized as associations.

Belgium
Other religious groups that together constitute less than 5 percent of the population include Hindus, Sikhs, Hare Krishnas, and Scientologists.

Canada
Groups that together constitute less than 4 percent of the population include Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Scientologists, Bahais, and adherents of Shintoism, Taoism, and aboriginal spirituality.

Denmark
Religious groups not recognized by either royal decree or registered by the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs, such as the Church of Scientology, are entitled to engage in religious practices, but members of non-recognized religious groups must marry in a civil ceremony in addition to any religious ceremony. Unrecognized religious groups are not granted tax-exempt status.

France
The Church of Scientology estimates it has 45,000 members.
(...)
On January 13, the Paris appellate court formally charged three branches and three leaders of the Church of Scientology with fraud, deceptive commercial practices, and abuse of public funds, following accusations that a private school based in Vincennes taught Scientology precepts to approximately 50 children without the knowledge of their parents in 1998. No trial date had been set at year’s end.

In July the Versailles prosecutor office opened a preliminary investigation of the Church of Scientology following reports of harassment of 12 employees of a company whose owner had joined the church. Plaintiffs said they were forced to undergo a training routine which amounted to psychological harassment. The investigation continued at year’s end.

Germany
Federal and state Offices for the Protection of the Constitution (OPCs) monitored the activities of some groups, including the Church of Scientology (COS) and some Muslim groups suspected of furthering what the offices considered extremist goals.
(...)
The Roman Catholic and Protestant churches continued to use “sect commissioners” to warn the public of alleged dangers from some religious groups such as the Unification Church, the Church of Scientology, Universal Life, and Transcendental Meditation practitioners. Some employers continued to use written agreements known as “sect filters,” asking potential new employees to confirm they had no contact with Scientology.
(...)
The COS does not have PLC [public law corporation] status in any state.
(...)
Some state governments and federal agencies continued to decline to recognize certain belief systems as religions, in particular Jehovah’s Witnesses and Scientologists, making them ineligible for tax benefits. Some Muslim religious groups gained PLC status. The government continued to investigate Scientologists and Muslim groups for reported constitutional violations. The headscarf ban prevalent in many states was upheld in court. Scientologists continued to report instances of alleged governmental discrimination, such as the use of “sect filters” to block them from public sector employment.
(...)
The status of the COS remained unresolved. No court at the state or federal level issued any ruling determining whether Scientology was a religion.

The federal and state OPCs in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, NRW, and Thuringia monitored the activities of the COS, reportedly focusing on evaluating Scientology publications and public activities to determine whether they violated the constitution. The COS reported OPC representatives regularly contacted Scientologists to question them about the organization. The COS also reported the OPC collected names of members from church publications and archived the information to use in citizenship and employment proceedings.
(...)
Scientologists continued to report instances of alleged governmental discrimination. “Sect filters” asking potential employees to confirm they had no contact with Scientologists and rejected its doctrines remained in use in the public and private sectors, although courts at the state and federal level had said it was improper to use them to blacklist Scientologists.

On March 12, the city of Stuttgart required a tree expert hired to train park employees on tree care to sign a “sect filter.” The expert agreed he would not utilize Scientology methods, but crossed out the language stating that he rejected such methods and had not been trained in them. After he would not sign the full agreement, the city cancelled its contract with the expert, who then filed a lawsuit against the city for damages to recover his loss of income. The case was pending before the Stuttgart Superior Court at the end of the year.
(...)

Chill EB dis rap - in progress

http://ift.tt/1RtmYZ8

* * * * * BEGIN QUOTATION * * * * *

Tony Ortega posted that he was impressed with Chill EB's latest from the Golden Era studio. It is a catchy tune - with an awful, deluded message. At one point Tony despaired that Anonymous didn't have an opposing rapper with the juice Chill EB could muster. (in any case, if someone did have the talent, they'd be making cash elsewhere, rather than doing the dozens on a guy with all his eggs broken).

Tony jokingly suggested Mike Rinder as the poet-respondent.

Anyway Tony, I think you're kind of missing the point.

Warblers like Mike Rinder don't rap, per se. But they do sound great reciting nursery rhymes with a kind of sing-song-in-your-face appeal. Any Chill EB face-off would have an asymmetrical response of a sort of studious, educated nature - but very funny, and very nasty.

Anyone can rhyme couplets as I've done below. If many people did so, all directed at Chill EB, then he would face massive enturbation in the comm lines. Imagine multiple, multiplying rhyming responses filling the You Tube channels with total disrespect for EB's jackass CCHR advocacy.

----

What’s wrong with you Old Chill EB?
Where is your sense of decency?

We love it when you do your rhyme
I hum your tune most all the time.

But all your motherfucking lyrics
They keep us laughing in hysterics

Opposing drugs in every case
And pitching zeroes in their place.

Who taught you that? It’s not your thought.
Is that the bridge you thought you bought?

The Brooklyn Bridge, oh that’s the one
It’s all yours? That must be fun.

Look, here’s a fan with bad depression
Out of work in the Bush recession.

Maybe some help from friends who care
Doctors who listen and a therapy chair.

Your help, that's right, like Linda McPherson
Is to lock your friend inside isolation.
Alone in a room
Living with doom
In an idle tomb
A mind it swoons

Nobody talking.
Nobody listening.

No singing
No music
No trying at all.

No family
No laughter
No throwing a ball.

You’re sick in yourself, and you have to admit
You’re a talented guy who’s slinging bullshit.

How can free people ever give you a pass?
You won’t even think. You’re stuck on your ass.

Legislation is bogus when it comes from your lips.
You aren’t a real leader under Scientology’s whip.

Wake up get out and make us amazed.
Then people will follow the trail you have blazed.

But stay put where you are
And follow ol’ Slappy

And you’ll grow old too soon

You fucked up old lackey.

How to handle new Scientologists?


This guy is probably an "FSM" who brings people into Scientology and gets commissions.




You encounter someone who dabbled in organized Scientology a few years ago, bought some auditing, and did (mostly) "grade zero" (communication processes).

You ask him, "Tell me about your grade zero auditing," and when he says he liked it, do you:

1) Acknowledge him, and say, "There's some good stuff at the beginning, but it's not representative of what follows. The nature of auditing changes and becomes, gradually, more hypnotic, and, because it's gradual you're expected not to notice. So beware."

Or

2) Do you tell him, "It's all bullshit!"

Or?

Documenting a story I head from Quentin Hubbard

In November, 1975 a bunch of us (Church of Scientology of San Diego staff members) traveled up to Los Angeles to listen to Quentin Hubbard speak at the Manor (he passed away one year after this event). I sat at his feet and took a picture of him as he was talking. Even though it has been forty years since I attended that event I still recall some of his talk. Part of his talk consisted of space opera stuff. But what remains in my mind, yet today, Quentin told us that there had been life on Mars and that a major war had blasted the atmosphere and all those who resided there away. I really don't think that it was Quentin that made up the story of the war on Mars, I think more likely it was something his father told him and he passed it on to us during his talk.

In September, 2015, CNN published a story that stated "Eons ago, ancient Mars had “an extensive atmosphere,” along with “an ocean two-thirds the size of the northern hemisphere and a mile deep,” said Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA said during a press conference on Monday. After an unknown catastrophe, “Mars suffered a major climate change and lost its surface water,” Green explained.

The story is here - http://ift.tt/1GnuBjz

I am not trying to boost LRH's image (I know for a fact he was a teller of tall tales), what I am doing today is documenting something I personally heard from Quentin Hubbard's talk in 1975. Who knows, maybe in the next forty years proof will exist to prove LRH's Mars war story, and then again maybe not.

Hague Court deals blow to Scientology tax-free status

The Dutch branch of the Church of Scientology has lost its tax status as “public welfare institution”, and the tax benefits that go along with it, in a ruling made by the court in The Hague on Wednesday.

The court decided that the sales of the Church’s expensive courses and therapy sessions are clearly aimed at making a profit, and thus it does not belong on the tax authorities’ charity list.

Scientologists believe that there are two major divisions of the mind – the reactive mind and the analytical mind, according to Wikipedia. The reactive mind stores painful and debilitating images, “engrams”, that move people further away from their true identity. The Church promises believers that they can get rid of these engrams with special techniques and eventually achieve a “clear” state – a sort of super human with a clear mind. The Church offers courses and therapy sessions to work towards this “clear” state, and these quickly cost thousands of euros.

The court ruled that these courses cost significantly more than commercial educational institutions’ average school fees. “If providers on the secular education market had similar prices, prospective students would experience it as prices for top education by top teachers in prime locations.” The court finds the prices to be very commercial. According to the court, Scientology consciously seeks profits to fill its purse and was able to build “substantial wealth” like this.

Scientolipedia DMCA Takedown Notice

Greetings. I want to let you know of some news that should get out there.

Scientolipedia.org has been dedicated to preserving the SUBJECT of scientology outside of the Cult of Scientology. As the Church has been working to alter the works of LRH and then put pressure on constituents to burn perviously published copies of the materials, Scientolipedia saw fit to preserve the data and has been hosting torrent files to share the lecture data with anyone who wants it.

Scientolipedia JUST received a DMCA notice from Church lawyers. The owner of the site is looking into legal alternatives and strategies to fight back.

For maybe 45 more hours, the data is all on the site and can be accessed. After that, the strategy to fight this injustice will be investigated. That is all I know that I can report at this time.

You can read the takedown notice here:

Posted by Lana M.

October 19, 2015

by Jim Logan

Along with studying the St. Hill Special Briefing Course tapes and materials, I have been studying various “data of comparable magnitude” (see NOTE below) including now, Buddhist texts. One body of work, the Abhidamma (translated variously as “abhi” – higher, about, and “dhamma/dharma” – basic truths, phenomena, ideas, data*), has extensive descriptions of the “citta” – the mind and goes to great lengths to delineate the many discrete moments of thinking or being conscious of some object, either mental or physical.

Within this particular Abhidamma recension **, there is posited a sort of basic consciousness that runs along more or less continually that is conscious of existence as it is manifested, what can be described in Scientology in the Axioms as the first few actions of beingness in putting out points to view eg., bringing about a “duality” of view point and dimension point and subsequently establishing the continuous awareness of things to experience in the universe thus created and agreed upon that is available as the “time-track”. In 8-80 Ron describes this as follows:

“Life is a static, according to the Axioms. A static has no motion. It has no wave length. The proofs and details of this are elsewhere in Scientology.

“This static has the peculiarity of acting as a “mirror”. It records and holds the images of motion. It even can create motion and record and hold the image of that. It records also space and time in order to record motion which is, after all, only “change in space through time”. Played against motion as a kinetic, the static can produce live energy.

“In a mind, any mind, the basic beingness is found to be a static on which motion can be recorded, and which, acting against motion, produces energy.

“A memory is a recording of the physical universe. It contains—any memory—a time index (when it happened) and a pattern of motion. As a lake reflects the trees and moving clouds, so does a memory reflect the physical universe. Sight, sound, pain, emotion, effort, conclusions, and many other things are recorded in this static for any given instant of observation.

“Such a memory we call a “facsimile”. The mind, examining a facsimile it has made, can see it, feel it, hear it, re-experience the pain in it, the effort, the emotion.

“There are billions of facsimiles available to any mind. Billions of billions. These facsimiles can be brought into present time by the environment, and “unseen” or “unknown” by the awareness of awareness of the mind, can reimpress their pains, efforts, and aberrations upon the being, thus making one less liable to survive. All unknowingnesses, confusions, aberrations, psychosomatic ills are traceable to facsimiles.

“One believes he can use any facsimile he has ever received. He has been hurt. He uses the facsimile of being hurt to hurt another. But since one survives as well as everything else survives, to hurt another is wrong. One regrets the injury, seeking to turn back time (which is regret). Thus the facsimile he used becomes interlocked with his facsimile of trying to use it and both facsimiles “hang up” and travel with present time. One even gets the pain he seeks to inflict on another, this being the action against him of the facsimile he sought to give, by action, to another. It startles the preclear, when run through a boyhood fight, wherein he hit another boy in the eye, to feel the pain in his own eye at the instant of the blow. And so it is with all inflicted injuries.

“This is a simple matter of the interaction of the pictures of energy.”

In the Buddhist materials there are mental “fabrications” described by the term “sankhara” (Pali and samskhara in Sanskrit. From “sam” prefix meaning “with, together” and krti – construct, make i.e., “put together” or “formations/constructions”). These “fabrications”, aside from the ones made as in a facsimile of one type or another, are the various fabrications that fabricate as well. These, both aspects, are the items including automaticities, valences, circuits, ridges, mental MEST, pictures, facsimiles, machinery of the mind, that behind-the-thetan-shoulder little “deposit” made up to let one know if they are being attacked by weevils, etcetera. You have sankhara that make up stuff, record stuff, perceive stuff that is made up to perceive (eg. A tree is a fabrication and there are fabrications (senses) made up to perceive the tree). Dianetically/Scientologically speaking – the various things a thetan creates either individually or in agreement that are there to experience as well as the means to experience them including all the pictures and machinery that sum up to the various aspects of “mind”.

Aside from the “basic consciousness” and its running record, in the Buddhist theory there are other categories of consciousness that are defined in relationship to their operations as a being goes along involved with its created life. These different aspects of the consciousness/mind/thinking come up in a sequence of “thought moments” which is described in detail with so many “thought moments” at this stage and so many at that, all being concerned with the awareness and consideration/mind-ing of some thing one is “mind-ing” such as an object, circumstance and so on. That is, the moment to moment activity of the mind as it senses and computes existence either objectively or subjectively.

Part of the sequence of moments of thinking is described by a term “javana” (derived from “impel” – go forward, push out – and described as “running swiftly”, that is, these moments go by pretty quick). These moments come after the object has been discerned and determined as some particular thing and are the moments when an “impulse” (a postulate/consideration) towards the item is made. Those impulses can be “good” or “bad”. That is, in Buddhist terms, one can have a good thought about the item (it’s nice, it’s beautiful, etc.) or a bad impulse such as hatred, anger, ill-will and so on. These are patterned-response impulses. Earlier postulates about something become fixed as “seeds of habit-energy”, that is, consideration or continuing postulates, held down 5’s in the computer, fixed ideas in the mind, etc.

In Dianetics/Scientology terms; a being experiences an occurrence and records it as a mental image picture as part of the time track. Those experiences that are impactful, that is, engrams, contain all perceptics of the incident as well as decisions, postulates, considerations that are part of the recording and reside as re-creatable “stores of energy”. Secondary Engrams are intense emotional incidents and also contain decisions, postulates or restimulate earlier ones, as do locks. One behaves according to these recorded pictures, by decision, by postulate and dramatizes earlier conclusions (fixed as patterns of energy) that are not applicable to the present circumstance in lieu of present-time observation and a direct view of is-ness.

(Note: This last is another category of javana that a being who is well advanced on the road to enlightenment has which is a calm equanimity toward the thing but there is no added idea or consideration from some past. He looks at it as it is. One could say he’s at “Lookingness” or higher on the Not-Know to Mystery Scale. It is also interesting to note that Not-Know as the First Postulate is indicated in the Buddhist theories as “ignorance”. Taking some license, one such scale might be described as the Ignorance to Mud scale, or, translated using the Scientology one, the entire series of steps from Native State, through Not-Know (“ignorance”) as the First Postulate to the Second Postulate of Know giving a “duality” and to gain persistence, all the way down to Mystery).

The materials of the Abhidamma concerning the manifestations of mind are a compendium of the Buddhist theory of consciousness and the sundry creations and operations of mind. An important aspect of the work is towards gaining cause over mind, liberation and an exteriorization from the stimulus-response characteristics of an “effect” sort of life and living. A realization and being cause/source as essence of mind and all of its manifestations. (In some schools the aim of return to Native State, that is, no contact, no ARC, no extended points to view, thus no view point, no game, thus no mind to pose and resolve problems, no particles put out so no need to know of them via perception, etc.)

“A very cursory glance at the Dharma discovers that it embraces these facts.

‘All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.’ ‘By oneself evil is done; by oneself one suffers; by oneself evil is left undone; by oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity belong to oneself; no one can purify another.’ ‘You yourself must make an effort; the Buddhas are only preachers. The thoughtful who enter the way are freed from the bondage of sin.’ ‘He who does not rouse himself when it is time to rise, who, though young and strong, is full of sloth, whose will and thoughts are weak, that lazy and idle man will never find the way to enlightenment.’ ‘Strenuousness is the path of immortality, sloth the path of death. Those who are strenuous do not die; those who are slothful are as if dead already.’” LRH, Professional Auditors Bulletin 32 ***

From Advanced Procedure and Axioms under Self-Determinism Processing:

“Each and every aberration of the human mind and the human body has an initial postulate to be so aberrated. Engrams are effective only when the individual himself determines that they will be effective.”

The Definition of Clear: A being who no longer has his own reactive mind. Clear is a state of being and as is obvious from the Buddhist texts that are more or less some 2,500 years old it has been an aim of beings on Earth alone, for quite some time.

Discoveries by Ron Hubbard, keen insights, evaluations of importances, the establishing of the various points where the time-track gets charged up, snaggled, obscured, the resolution of the various factors that result in not only aberration, but the mind itself, and the developing and refining of a technology of application of principles all make the attainment of the state of Clear a reality for beings.

We are rich in knowledge and have a positive methodology to attain the goals of so many, including ourselves.

Finally, it is also interesting to remark that both Siddhartha and Ron Hubbard stated that it is not enough to practice the “dhyana” (the various stages, ways of “looking/knowing” ) or get auditing but one must study the materials and understand the subjects, that is, get trained and audit others, to make a complete Bridge to the Ultimate Realms. Fit “study time” into your schedule along with getting in sessions, making a life, creating and managing the household, mixing in compost for the garden, fly-fishing for trout, painting, getting the DVD and postulating time to watch Season 5 of Game of Thrones, climbing Everest or K2 for the really adventurous and all the other stuff one may do while living.

As a hat tip and small token of admiration and humble appreciation- in- emulation to ancient rishis (“poet sages” who composed the Vedas), a hymn for my fellow Scientologists:

Study, audit, get auditing,

Learn, know, with certainty,

Be, free.

Uncover your Buddha-nature,

Mind-Essence,

Static,

The Ultimate Truth.

Go Clear, regain OT,

Know you,

Without valence,

And again,

Be, free.


FOOTNOTES:

*Dhamma (Pali)/dharma (Sanskrit) derived from Sanskrit “dhr” – hold, keep, maintain – “what is established”, hence “law”, has various meanings depending on context and ranging from an entire body of knowledge to a specific datum or phenomena. If one looks at the Logics 1-4 defining what is knowledge these meanings apply to “dhamma/dharma”.

LOGIC 1. KNOWLEDGE IS A WHOLE GROUP OR SUB-DIVISION OF A GROUP OF DATA OR SPECULATIONS OR CONCLUSIONS ON DATA OR METHODS OF GAINING DATA.

LOGIC 2. A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE IS A BODY OF DATA, ALIGNED OR UNALIGNED, OR METHODS OF GAINING DATA.

LOGIC 3. ANY KNOWLEDGE WHICH CAN BE SENSED, MEASURED OR EXPERIENCED BY ANY ENTITY IS CAPABLE OF INFLUENCING THAT ENTITY.

COROLLARY – THAT KNOWLEDGE WHICH CANNOT BE SENSED, MEASURED OR EXPERIENCED BY ANY ENTITY OR TYPE OF ENTITY CANNOT INFLUENCE THAT ENTITY OR TYPE OF ENTITY.

LOGIC 4. A DATUM IS A FACSIMILE OF STATES OF BEING, STATES OF NOT BEING, ACTIONS OR INACTIONS, CONCLUSIONS, OR SUPPOSITIONS IN THE PHYSICAL OR ANY OTHER UNIVERSE.

** Buddhist texts are voluminous and different branches of the overall religion have different canons. I am referring in this instance to a section of the Abhidamma of the Pali Canon which is one collection of materials. This part of the texts, the Abhidamma (Pali spelling of dharma), is an example of exegetical commentary on what are considered the words of the Buddha. Since Siddhartha, the Buddha, didn’t actually write down any of his words they were carried on in an oral tradition and eventually compilations of the oral materials were put in writing. This leads to differences, some small, some significant, in both the written words and especially in the interpretations and commentarial additions to the store of knowledge, among the many schools of thought within Buddhism.

*** various quotes from various Buddhist texts, taken from Professional Auditor’s Bulletin 32, 7 August 1954.

NOTE: My own personal reason for studying these subjects of comparable magnitude and at this time the Vedas, Upanishads, the various Buddhist texts, is based on the idea of “data of comparable magnitude” and the evaluation of things as described in the materials of Scientology. Also, L. Ron Hubbard in many places acknowledges the wisdom he gleaned from these same bodies of knowledge. One place in particular is in a 3 June1955 taped lecture, The Hope of Man, (published as an Ability mag article in June 55 and available in the 91 Tech Vol III) where in reference to the sages of the east he states:

“Don’t think for a moment that when I put together Dianetics I was not completely aware of practically everything any one of these men said in his own district and on his own home ground. If I had not had that information we would never have had Dianetics. But, what did I, a Western engineer, do? I said, ‘Well, these men are too sold on the spiritual side of life, they’re overboard. Nothing practical. We want everything workable. We want wheels. We want cogwheels.We want a standard procedure by which we can take a look at somebody on a couch and say, ‘Zip, zip, rip!’’. I was persuaded into this to some degree by my engineering friends-to some degree.

Mike Rinder: The Ron Miscavige Book War Begins

http://ift.tt/1OJGdjv

Please go to Mike's blog for his full analysis.

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

Scientology has fired its first shot across the bow in the inevitable, cost-is-no-object-when-it-comes-to-protecting-the-reputation-of-Dear-Leader campaign to try and stop Ron Miscavige’s book. And it’s a spitball from a pea shooter.

Obviously, Dave knows this is not going to be good. He stepped right in the shit by hiring some goons to follow his father and they got caught. And in his inimitable style he turned someone who was doing and saying nothing into another voice raised up in protest of the abuses that are perpetrated inside his church.

The story in the LA Times by Pulitzer prize-winning reporter Kim Christensen caused quite a furor. You can be sure that this incident, and a lot more will be covered in the book.

So, Dave has reason to be worried.

I wonder why he is bothering with the low level stuff and not getting right down to business with some serious threats and Freedom reporters and whatever else he (wrongly) thinks is going to end the next chapter of his golden age of taking it in the shorts. Perhaps it is a reflection of his desperation that he will try anything and see if it works.

But for a first shot – this is really weak. Sticking to the shot across the bow metaphor, this is a spitwad fired by an asthmatic dwarf who has had a lung removed. This projectile didn’t make it beyond the floor next to Gary Soter’s desk.

And that is the first clue as to how toothless this is. It comes from Gary Soter. The lawyer scientology uses to send letters that their other attorneys won’t send because they are afraid of tarnishing their reputations.

Let’s take a look at the letter.

Court: Scientology is commercial, not charity

The Church of Scientology behaves so commercial that they do not belong on the charity list of the tax authorities. Unlike many other churches it is not primarily for the 'common good', so does the Court of The Hague ruled Wednesday. Its sales of expensive courses and therapy is clearly aimed at making profit.

The Dutch branch of the church must now her status as "public welfare institution (anbi) and return the associated tax benefits. That many other churches and religious societies do have some anbi status, due to their poor relief and other aid activities.

Scientology promises fans that they can get rid of special techniques of all mental blocks. Eventually Scientologists are "clear": a kind of carefree super people with a clear mind. The courses and therapy sessions that Scientologists working towards that goal, costs soon thousands of euros.

That's significantly more than the average school fees of commercial educational institutions, "the court ruled. If "secular" organizations such prices charge for their courses and training, "then this will be perceived by potential students as prizes for top education by top teachers in prime locations."

Request your opinion and advice:

I have been thinking about my next major project and would like your opinion about it, if it is something you would use or look at.
My interest has long been going away from the "fight" which is so many amazing people doing more than I could, and more focusing on people, building good and meaningful lives after Scientology and the fight.
This is actually an incredibly complex subject, so while I originally thought about something more like a mentor ship channel on all sorts of subjects from exes and others extremely successful in that specific area, I thought of starting with a smaller bite. The concept is "who am I now". Google makes everything we did and said on line available for ever.
A close friend of mine, just started dating someone, whose ex googled her, and threatened to take his kids away because she was a "cult child and a prostitute". Half true, and half an OSAesque lie.
Googling job applicants is now pretty much normal. What would you want a potential employer to see?
Googling in dating is done by almost every woman I know.
If someone was not willing to read something like this to let me tell my story on negative stuff I might have, I don't know that I would need them in my life.
Being able to tell our story can give us some pride and honor in our history and how we handled it, actually turning it to a positive.
It would be a place highly ranked on google for personal names (would get proper SEO done) where people could tell their own stories, in video or written forms to document who they are now. Might set it up with references where friends or co workers or employers can post references or even videos.
As people evolve and their perspectives change they can revise, lets face it we are all evolving. So right now I envision this more as a living site rather than a static history of "yeah I said this 5 years ago but now I think blah!"
It could evolve into something with more of a professional slant to it for non ex activists. The first that comes to mind is Graham Berry, who is probably one of the most remarkable and least understood people I have ever met.
Please let me know what you think.

Looking for anyone willing to be interviewed and recorded

Hi!
I'm currently studying media at Dickson College in Canberra, and my major assignment is to produce a short radio broadcast. I am doing an information piece on Scientology, and I am looking for people willing to be interviewed. Questions asked will be along the lines of why people join Scientology, Why they left, and what it means for members in day-to-day life.

The piece will be as objective as possible, and your privacy will be protected (including voice changing if you wish). If you are located in Canberra, I would prefer to meet in person, however Skype is certainly feasible.

If you are unwilling to be recorded or interviewed, but still have information that you are comfortable sharing, please send me an email and I will get back to you. Finally, please remember that if you don't feel comfortable during the interview, none of the questions are mandatory.

Sincerely,
Cai Holroyd

Photos of the $145M Super Power buildings' interior

Inside the secretive 'Super Powers' building: Pictures emerge of Scientology's $145million 'spiritual headquarters' in Florida

Photographs have emerged of the Church of Scientology's multi-million dollar 'spiritual headquarters' in Florida
The Flag Building is a massive seven-story, 377,000-square-foot complex which opened in November 2013
It's home to the Super Power program which was designed by the religion's founder L Ron Hubbard in the 1970s
Followers believe the method - which uses a 'wall of smells' and a 'gyroscope' - will grant them special abilities
The building also features an office for deceased Hubbard, indoor running track and a 'Purification Program'


Take a look inside the Church of Scientology's 'spiritual headquarters' in Florida after detailed photographs have emerged of the $145million behemoth.
The Flag Building, also known as the Super Powers building, is a massive seven-story, 377,000-square-foot complex which was the tallest building in Clearwater when it opened in November 2013.
Now new pictures have emerged which give an insight into the notoriously secretive organization and their headquarters which is regularly frequented by Scientologist celebrities such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
The jewel in the crown of the property is the fifth floor Super Powers program where church followers are charged thousands of dollars for courses which they believe will give them special abilities.

The Unbreakable Miss Lovely book tour ends in Adelaide and Perth

Tony confirmed yesterday that Bryan Seymour will be at the Perth event :clap:

I have been in touch with Bryan Seymour and a Perth colleague to identify avenues to get the word out. In the first instance we are targetting similar groups to those who have supported the US book tour (atheists, humanists, sceptics etc)

As a never-in, I am not acquainted with any exes at all, and in the four years I have been posting at the Village Voice/Bunker and about 3 here, I have noticed precious few in Perth/WA.

I am keen to get in touch with anyone who can direct me to people who might be interested who are living in Perth who I can email, send info to

I also don't post much at - or read much any longer - at WWP so not sure if there are any anons active in Perth - anyone have any knowledge about this?

Please comment here or PM me with any ideas.

Perth is the last stop and we want to make it a good 'un :thumbsup:

The good scientology does goes unnoticed !

For one, they have helped rid this planet of whole forests of trees.

Can't think of anything else nearly that good that have done.

Now, if only there was the proof that Doctor Hubbard was murdered in cold blood, that'd count for something.

Labour Party star & Scientology group who say Bin Laden hypnotised into launching 911

Labour Party star & Scientology group who say Bin Laden hypnotised into launching 911.

I believe this article is important because it shows the extent of Scientology's political efforts world-wide.

Birmingham Mail: Rising Corbyn star and group who say Bin Laden hypnotised into launching 9/11 attack

http://ift.tt/1OPvwui


* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

A rising Labour Party star was the guest of honour at the launch of an exhibition by a Church of Scientology offshoot that blames the 9/11 World Trade Centre terror attack on psychiatrists.

Birmingham’s youngest councillor Mariam Khan said she had no idea that the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) preaches that psychiatrists are “terrorists” and mental illnesses do not exist.

The 24-year-old, who Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn recently promoted to the party’s national policy forum, cut the ribbon to unveil the group’s mobile exhibition stall.

Last night critics accused the Muslim hijab-wearing Khan, councillor for Washwood Heath, as being “naïve” and an “attention seeker.”

CCHR was set up in 1969 by Scientologists and is an aggressive opponent of any form of psychiatry, labelling it a sham and money-making ruse.

Its more outlandish beliefs include blaming 9/11 on psychiatry by suggesting that Al Qaida’s former No 2 – and now leader – Dr Ayman Zwahiri hypnotised Osama bin Laden into carrying out the attack.

Brian Daniels, a scientologist who heads the UK chapter of CCHR, said he had invited Ms Khan because she appeared “sympathetic to our views.”

“Mariam Khan is a very active person in the community, and is concerned for the welfare of the people and children,” he said.

“She was alarmed about the rising statistics of children being prescribed powerful psychiatric drugs and spoke of this issue at the opening.”

But concerned Labour party activists have been quick to downplay any connections, claiming Coun Khan had no idea what the exhibition she unveiled was all about.

A Labour Party spokesman said: “Councillor Mariam Khan attended an event on June 29 on mental health hosted by the ‘Citizens Commission on Human Rights’.

“Councillor Khan was unaware of the organisation’s aims, values or their affiliation with the Church of Scientology prior to attending the event.

“Councillor Khan is not a member of the CCHR or The Church of Scientology and she does not endorse the views of either organisation.”
