Go big or go home!

Hey again! I rarely post but I'm always here, and always fascinated by your stories from in and outside of $cientology. I have to say, as a "never in", I have a ton of respect for everyone on this board. You're truly a courageous bunch.

So when I first joined, I put it out there that I'd be asking some questions here and there as I'm genuinely curious about the cul...er, "Church", and the response was pretty much "fire away!" So I wanna start with a biggie because the structural changes within $cientology:

Has anyone here ever met Tommy Davis? What was he like? He comes across *terribly* in interviews, and that's when he's playing nice! I'm not a violent guy, but if a friend of mine had some insatiable need to smack someone in the face and asked me to suggest a name...

Does anyone know what he's up to these days? I've seen online that he and his wife went into real estate or something but everything is kind of vague. It seems as if all of the publicly known execs who blow go public with their stories eventually, and we haven't heard anything from Tommy. Can you imagine the shit he'd spill?

Also - when structural changes in management happen like that (someone blowing or routing out or whatever), is the average $cientologist somehow informed? Or do people just quietly come in and out without notice? Who are DM's #2, #3 and #4 these days?

Sorry if this is a little much but this inquiring mind wants to know!

Thanks, and you guys are just awesome!!
Go big or go home!

My question and curiousity after McMasters turned out not to be :melodramatic:
who became #1 ?

I suspect the answer is somewhat like "I never had a second wife" :hattip::yes::hysterical::hysterical:

SP Basics - The collection of Books written by Ex High Ranking Scientologist's

The Public Libraries carry most of the SP BASIC Book Collection due to demand.

How ironic that they threw out Scientology's books by L Ron Hubbard that were sent to them. One of many of David Miscavige's EPIC FAILURE's as COB of Scientology Religion.:yes:
Most Library's may only have a few of his books, if none, due to no demand! :happydance:

We are so excited. We have purchased a ton of books written by famous Scientology SP's and I started reading the first one tonight. I am almost done with it - I could not put it down.

It is called: "Scientology - Abuse at the Top" by Amy Scobee

I would love to hear from others that have read this book - tell us your wins and cognitions you had as you read of the horror story's of life in the Sea Org by this brave soul - Amy Scobee. David Miscavige is a MONSTER! :nervous:

Mind.Blown is all I can say. I can't believe the behavior of David Miscavige and what he did to these people!

I highly recommend this book to any lurkers out there.

It is harrowing, disturbing and riveting.

Thank you Amy Scobee - for writing and publishing this book.

After I read this one, I am reading Marc Headley's book - "BLOWN FOR GOOD" :omg:

I love these SP's for having the courage to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

Please - continue!:yes:

March 30, 2016

By Daniel Dylan Wray

In 1974, the Apollo Stars released their only album, The Power of Source. Like many ’70s American rock bands, the Apollo Stars were young men with long hair, bushy moustaches, flapping flares and loud guitars. Unlike others, though, they were Scientologists and lived on a ship, the Apollo, with church founder L. Ron Hubbard, who was credited as the band’s producer and co-writer.

On board the Apollo was the church’s Sea Organization, or Sea Org. It comprises Scientology’s most dedicated members, who are required to sign a symbolic (but not legally binding) one billion-year contract to demonstrate their commitment to the church. The Sea Org was established in 1967, the same year that Hubbard purchased a fleet of ships including the Apollo, which was once a British Royal Navy landing ship called HMS Royal Scotsman and had served in World War II.

The purchase of these ships by Hubbard came at a legal crossroads for Scientology. In 1963, the church was raided by the United States Food and Drug Administration, with materials, books and E-Meters (used for displaying the ectodermal activity of a human being, an procedure known as ‘auditing’) being seized. The FDA believed that the church was making false medical claims through their practices and in 1967, when the church lost its tax-exempt status after an audit from the Inland Revenue Service, it moved its daily operations onto the water.

Scientology’s official line on the purchase of the fleet is that Hubbard formed the Sea Org in order for the church to focus on advanced research operations and supervise the church’s global organizations. However, given such raids and audits, which resulted in enormous debts and clashes with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it’s been suggested that Hubbard was using the ships to evade U.S. authorities.

The truth is that there was no band, just individuals who happened to have their instruments.

The remaining traceable few members of the Apollo Stars are split between those who have remained in the church, those who have left, and those who have no desire to talk about it from either side. In a rare instance, though, three members were willing to tell their stories: Craig Ferreira, guitar player, co-writer and current church member; Neil Sarfati, saxophone player and group director, who left the church in 1976; and Tom Rodriguez, bongo player, who prefers not to reveal his current status in regards to the church.

The Power of Source is a disjointed album, weaving together rock, jazz, blues, soul and psychedelia. It’s also driven by a solid energy and experimental tendencies, the result of which is reminiscent of an African-indebted, acid jazz freak-out. A key reason for this is the social and ethnic construct of the group. The Apollo would sail primarily across the Mediterranean but often as far as Africa, picking up sounds and members along the way. Bongo player Rodriguez, for example, boarded the ship from Morocco in 1971.

It would be a further two years before anything resembling a recording act would start, though – and even then it was by accident. When the Apollo docked in Madeira on the Christmas of 1973, the local mayor inquired if there were any musicians on board to play in the town square. “The truth is that there was no band, just individuals who happened to have their instruments,” says Rodriguez. “An announcement was made for any musicians to come directly to the PR lounge. About ten of us showed up. We were told to ‘put something together’ immediately. We asked each other, ‘What songs do you know?’ and we ended up with about three or four songs.” They performed in the square and despite Rodriguez thinking they were “terrible,” they went down well with the locals and were asked back again to play on New Year’s Eve.

The Apollo Stars were born. The band as credited on The Power of Source consisted of Tamia Arbuckle (bass, guitar), Craig Ferreira (guitar), Luten Taylor (bass), Russ Meadows (bass, flute), Charlie Rush (drums), Kenny Campleman (flute), Bill Potter (saxophone), Neil Sarfati (saxophone) and Wayne Marple (trumpet). Ferreira claims to have put this lineup together, with Sarfati then positioning himself as a director of sorts. “I became the head of the whole troupe,” Sarfati says. “I guess I had the balls because I’m a New Yorker.”

According to Sarfati, the band had some big hitters in tow. Taylor was one of the original composers for the Mission Impossible theme tune, Potter had played for Big Mama Thornton and Ferreira recalls fellow guitar player Arbuckle as being a “Japanese rock star,” referring to his time in the RCA-signed band the Lead in the late ’60s. As for the other members, “A lot of the folks just came from playing in garage bands,” says Ferreira. Various members joined the church at different times and for different reasons, but Sarfati’s story was a fairly common one. “At the time [1973] I was 23 years old and lost. I didn't know where to go. I was looking for answers, and I thought that [the church] was the answer.”

* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *

* * * * * BEGIN LAST PARAGRAPH * * * * *

“We moved from the sea to land in ’75,” remembers Rodriguez. “I pretty much ceased being a band member then. Others continued to play together, when we had parties.” Sarfati left the Apollo Stars the following year. “I ‘woke up’ in ’76, when they put me in a prison camp and I escaped. The more I went through it [prison], the more it awoke me. It had the reverse effect on me. I was thinking, ‘Holy fuck, what am I doing here?’” The escape involved having to trick his former bandmate, drummer Charlie Rush, into thinking that he had explosive diarrhea in order to temporarily get out of a cell. Sarfati grabbed some money and clothes that he’d stashed behind a dumpster, hopped a prison wall, made his way to the airport and never looked back, not to Scientology nor the Apollo Stars.

Referring to her rape:

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

The incident came flooding back when she was working as a prosecutor and met a young woman who also had been raped.

“Chris was immovable,” says Clark of Darden’s decision to have Simpson try on the glove. “He was my co-counsel. I couldn’t say, ‘I’m your boss.’ Or I could say it, and he could tell me to go f— myself.”

"She told me her story, and literally within 10 minutes of her leaving, I got violently ill," says Clark. "Violently. It was really weird. Scientology, they're right about that: They say that negative emotion and rekindling old negative memories can make you feel ill, physically ill, and it did. They say, 'Release the charge, confront it and deal with it.' And I had to go home within an hour. I had a fever of 102. It was around 1981, and my then-husband said, 'OK, so what just happened?' And I wound up telling him."

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

In 1997, she relocated to Calabasas in search of good schools for her sons, both in their 20s now and living in the Bay Area. She's close to them; one works for a legal support firm, the other at a start-up. Twice divorced, she has no contact with her former husbands — the first, a professional backgammon player; the second, a computer programmer and systems administrator whom she met when he worked for the Church of Scientology.

She left Scientology in 1980 without repercussions. "I never got past the very low levels," she says. She praises its early classes, though not its more abstruse theology. "It's actually really instructive at the beginning because it's the greatest hits of the best of meditation and all the best of psychology. It melds it all together, and it's very helpful. Once you get past that and you start talking about the mythology …" She shrugs. As to founder L. Ron Hubbard's writing: "Bad, isn't it?" she says. "It's so amateur hour."

I ♡ SPs

As some of you know that Charley Jordan, a dear family friend and ex sea org member passed Feb 26. I also posted the situation where the medical examiner would not release his body to us, my family, which is what he wanted. We were told that if no next-of-kin was found that the medical examiner would cremate the body and dispose of the ashes and that we would have no say in the matter.

I posted this information with the hopes that maybe someone would have an idea for us since we kept hitting brick walls. So what does this have to do with the title of this thread?

Within one or two days I received a private message from a member of this board. This person gave me the phone number of a friend of theirs for me to contact. I did indeed contact this person and he gave me advice. I will not go into the whole story but I will tell you that his advice was right on the money. Last night the medical examiner contacted me and has released Charley's body to my family.

So here we have the Church of Scientology who took 40 plus years of Charley's life, convinced him to mortgage the family home, which is worth 1.5 million now but he lost it yrs ago, then proceeded to kick him out of the sea org because of this debt. And that is a true story. So they sucked him dry, chewed him up and spit him out.

But in the end who is it that comes to this man's rescue, someone who knows Charley was still a Scientologist through and through even though he was no longer participating, and realises his final wish? An SP and born-again wog, that's who. The story of Charley so plainly shows the differences between the Smurch of Scientology and SPs.

This person who helped did not come out in the open waving a flag and shouting: "Look at me! I'm helping!" No, they did it in private with no fanfare. They know Charley still believed in the church but that did not matter to this person. What mattered is that a human being got their final wish.

I'm hoping they will read this and come out and take a bow because they deserve it. I truly love and respect this person, now and for always.

So yes, I ♡ SPs.

Independent Scientology Milestone Two criticizes Sakichi Toyoda 5 Whys process

Independent Scientology Milestone Two criticizes and purports to improve on Sakichi Toyoda / Toyota 5 Whys process.

Milestone Two: 5 Whys

http://ift.tt/21SlfRl

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

By Lana M.

Recently I read an article from the New York Times that had been republished in a major Australian newspaper. The article was all about a technique for getting to the root cause of a problem using a technique called “5 Whys”.

Per Wikipedia:

5 Whys is an iterative interrogative technique used to explore the cause-and-effect relationships underlying a particular problem. The primary goal of the technique is to determine the root cause of a defect or problem by repeating the question “Why?” Each question forms the basis of the next question. The “5” in the name derives from an empirical observation on the number of iterations typically required to resolve the problem.

The technique was formally developed by Sakichi Toyoda and was used within the Toyota Motor Corporation during the evolution of its manufacturing methodologies. In other companies, it appears in other forms. Under Ricardo Semler, Semco practices “three whys” and broadens the practice to cover goal setting and decision making.

Not all problems have a single root cause. If one wishes to uncover multiple root causes, the method must be repeated asking a different sequence of questions each time.

The method provides no hard and fast rules about what lines of questions to explore, or how long to continue the search for additional root causes. Thus, even when the method is closely followed, the outcome still depends upon the knowledge and persistence of the people involved. Example:

The vehicle will not start. (the problem)

1. Why? – The battery is dead. (first why)
2. Why? – The alternator is not functioning. (second why)
3. Why? – The alternator belt has broken. (third why)
4. Why? – The alternator belt was well beyond its useful service life and not replaced. (fourth why)
5. Why? – The vehicle was not maintained according to the recommended service schedule. (fifth why, a root cause)

The questioning for this example could be taken further to a sixth, seventh, or higher level, but five iterations of asking why is generally sufficient to get to a root cause. The key is to encourage the trouble-shooter to avoid assumptions and logic traps and instead trace the chain of causality in direct increments from the effect through any layers of abstraction to a root cause that still has some connection to the original problem. Note that, in this example, the fifth why suggests a broken process or an alterable behaviour, which is indicative of reaching the root-cause level.

It is interesting to note that the last answer points to a process. This is one of the most important aspects in the 5 Why approach – the real root cause should point toward a process that is not working well or does not exist. Untrained facilitators will often observe that answers seem to point towards classical answers such as not enough time, not enough investments, or not enough manpower. These answers may be true, but they are out of our control. Therefore, instead of asking the question why?, ask why did the process fail?

A key phrase to keep in mind in any 5 Why exercise is “people do not fail, processes do”.

I must admit, I chuckled when I read all of the above. If this is the extent of investigatory procedure and problem solving, then no wonder so many suffer from unresolving problems or issues. This “tech” is incomplete and does not work.

In LRH’s Data Series he details how to find the why that underlies a situation, and this involves observing the outpoints (ie. contrary fact, falsehood, altered importance, dropped time, added time, wrong source, etc.) in a situation, and “pulling the string” on that outpoint, then find the next outpoint, pull that one, and so on, until you get to the underlying cause. It is correct that you are asking why that outpoint exists – why it has occurred or what has caused it. And the explanation that is given (which is also an outpoint) is then questioned.

So the Five Why’s has the gist of it, but without using the outpoints (or pluspoints for a good situation) as the point to question, the Five Whys will not get to the bottom of problem and find the Why. And counting down to 5 questionings is just silly and arbitrary.

Here is LRH on the subject. Learning and drilling THIS tech, WILL allow a person to get to the bottom of illogical situations to find the cause and resolve them.

Scientology Fire Sale! 42.5% Discount on Books and Lectures!

What if it doesn't die?

A big part of this board is the wishful thinking that Scientology under Miscavage will eventually die. I am doubtful of that. Over the past few weeks Tony has been posting the sunday social media pictures, say nothing of the social media stuff he posts daily that the Bunkeroos find. Without exception, they would all appear to be dedicated to Hubbard's cause.

I think a more likely scenario is that a certain percentage of people will continue to read his books, or listen to his tapes and become the zealots he desired no matter what.

Lets posit, for sake of argument, the FBI raids INT, the HGB, and FSO and find incriminating evidence, whether of inurement, fraud, spousal abuse, or something entirely more catastrophic, resulting in his wearing an orange jump suit for a very long time.

Even if there were mass ship-jumping as a result of his incarceration, there would be plenty of true believers remaining. What it a fundamentalist Scientologist, took up the reigns, disavowed miscavage, did amnesties etc,? Or a savy marketer turned things around? Or even if they hunkered down and the corpse lurched along undead? Sure, the ideal orgs would go on the auction block, and perhaps in it's place smaller, reasonably sized orgs, or even splintered off orgs that did their own flavor of scientology.

After all, doesn't Miscavage's power stem from Hubbard's writing and spoken words? It was those words that turned me into a true believer, not anything Miscavage uttered. Thus, it would be fair to say, to truly destroy Scientology, one would have to destroy all he wrote. It would be an impossible task. Such was his legacy.

It would live on. Perhaps a shadow of it's former self. Perhaps with a garrison SO unit running things.

Would it ever truly die?

Will Hubbard's name last throughout eternity?

Or will it eventually be as forgotten as the builders of Stonehenge or Easter island?

Miracles ? What abiut miracles ?

After scn & coming to know it was a con & what they called clear & OT was bogus, do I still believe in miracles ? YES !

I've seen miracles with my own eyes ! Yes, I have !

Not only have I witnessed the birth of three children & birth IS a miracle, I've also managed to be in a long term relationship with the love of my life. The miracle there is someone has put up with me for sooooooooooooo long !

Life is full of real miracles with no need of the parlor tricks promised by scn.

Let's face it, it is impressive that the earth spins as it does & stays in it's orbit as do all the other planets along with our sun & moon, but, finding a frickin parking place on a street wit many parking spots ain't much of a trick - Hell, I found parking places on the streets in Manhattan before I ever heard of scn.

Bet every person reading here also sees miracles happen in their own life & the lives of loved ones.

A question about criticizing Scientology (from an outsider)

Hey everyone,

As someone who has never been in Scientology but takes an interest in it, I have a question: To which extent does Scientology go after its critics? I imagine that, in the age of the internet, no one has the time or manpower to silence every single opponent you have. On the other hand I've also heard that the church is rather infamous for its attempts to silence people. So how does that work? Do they go after journalists or public figures or basically anyone they come across?

I've also read about SP's and how people can be marked a PTS. Does that only go for church-goers, ex-church members or people that are in some way connected to the organization - for instance via family? Or could this even be a blogger that critiqued Scientology?

Maybe a silly question, but just something I wonder.
A question about criticizing Scientology (from an outsider)

As an outsider

Hello everyone,

After doing a lot of research regarding the topic of Scientology, I have taken an interest in ex-members and their stories about this 'church'. I decided to sign up for this forum to ask questions and learn more from you guys' experience. I also look forward to talking to some of you. Hopefully you don't mind an outsider reading along with your discussions.

Cheers,

Concerns over Scientology company

Saturday, March 26, 2016

Gordon Deegan

Auditors for the loss-making Irish Church of Scientology have raised concerns over the viability of the company behind the church here.

Dublin-based Kilcoyne & Co Accountants have raised concerns in relation to the Church of Scientology Mission of Dublin Ltd in spite of the company increasing its revenues sharply last year to €86,716.

The global church counts movie stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta as some of its best-known members. The Irish church was previously bailed out to the tune of €326,875 when a loan provided to the Church of Scientology here was forgiven by Churches of Scientology overseas.

The loan that gave rise to the deficit at the Irish church is understood to relate a long-running High Court action from 2003 taken against the church by former member, Mary Johnston. The case was settled out of court on undisclosed terms after 31 days of evidence.

In the 12 months to the end of April 30 last, the Church of Scientology Mission of Dublin Ltd increased its revenues by 76%, from €49,138 to €86,716 and its losses for the year reduced from €35,494 to just €19.

The church’s revenues, however, remain a long way off from the revenues of €484,070 enjoyed in 2008.

However, in spite of an improvement in the church’s finances in 2015, auditors Kilcoyne and Co Accountants state that “there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business”.

The auditors point out that at the end of April last, the company’s current liabilities exceeded its total assets.

Feeling too much???

It's been a few months since I was last on course, or even at the org. And I've avoided all things Scientology (including this forum) for the last 3 months. Just to try give myself some headspace.
To understand what is me, and what is them.

I've recently been overwhelmed by feelings. . I'm crying almost everyday.
Sometimes a number of times per day. . I don't feel inherently sad. But I'm easily overwhelmed by things I see or feel.

i heard a song today, and this girls voice so beautiful, that I wept.

tonight I'm feeling lonely, and seeing sadness all around me. That I can't fix. And my heart is broken.

What the hell is happening?? I'm not crazy. At least I don't think I am. But these waves of emotion are too much. . not sure if I spent years suppressing them, and making myself feel better by completing another course, or being told my needle is floating on checkouts. So nothing else in the world mattered. .,,

aaaaarggghhh. One day at a time, right?? Sheesh. Barely feels like one foot in front of the other these days.
Feeling too much???

I hope I can provide something of help

I have never been a scientologist or have known one personally. My interest in supporting hopefully destroying the organisation is that when I worked for the Civil Service in the UK we used to have file registries. The department that I worked for was involved in Consumer Protection and there was a file recorded with material from the early 1970's, with the title Church of Scientology, threats and undue influence. The file was classified as secret material and kept locked in the CEO's office. This may explain the real reason former PM Margaret Thatcher could not take action against them, as she would have been given advice by people under influence.

I would hope to be able to provide advice or assistance to the fight. They may disappear, not much is heard about the Moonies now.

I apologise if this site is not for me.

CCHR-TX Fighting Re-classification of ECT by the FDA

From the FDA:

Neurological Devices; Reclassification of Electroconvulsive Therapy Devices Intended for Use in Treating Severe Major Depressive Episode in Patients 18 Years of Age and Older Who Are Treatment Resistant or Require a Rapid Response; Effective Date of Requirement for Premarket Approval for Electroconvulsive Therapy for Certain Specified Intended Uses

Summary
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a proposed administrative order to reclassify the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) device for use in treating severe major depressive episode (MDE) associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) or bipolar disorder (BPD) in patients 18 years of age and older who are treatment-resistant or who require a rapid response due to the severity of their psychiatric or medical condition, which is a preamendments class III device, into class II (special controls) based on new information. FDA is also proposing to require the filing of a premarket approval application (PMA) or a notice of completion of a product development protocol (PDP) for ECT devices for other intended uses specified in this proposed order. The Agency is also summarizing its proposed findings regarding the degree of risk of illness or injury designed to be eliminated or reduced by requiring the devices to meet the statute's approval requirements for other intended uses specified in this proposed order. In addition, FDA is announcing the opportunity for interested persons to request that the Agency change the classification of any of the devices mentioned in this document based on new information. This action implements certain statutory requirements.

Action Alert Email from CCHR-Texas:


Psychs Feeling the Effects of Your Comments
Now is the Time to Really Pour on the Coals!
If you're reading this you know...The FDA is trying to re-classify psychiatric electroshock machines into a safer, more benign device classification, moving it from the high-risk Class III to the more safe and effective Class II. And they are trying to do it without bothering to make device makers prove these shock machines are safe and effective.

Comments against this reclassification have been pouring onto the FDA public comment page. And somebody is paying attention:

Last week the American Psychiatric Association issued a new alert calling for comments from psychiatrists in favor of re-classification. Thankfully, someone else is paying attention too:

Last week, Natural News put out three articles about shock machine re-classification, heavily drawing on comments and alerts from CCHR. You can see them here:

http://ift.tt/1UMsSbA zz43HFX0kuD

http://ift.tt/1o6ckyn n.html

http://ift.tt/1UMsSbC n.html

There is no doubt that the re-classification of ECT will fall hard on the pregnant and the elderly.

"Off-label" use of ECT for unapproved uses will no doubt fall on children in states that, unlike Texas, still allow ECT for children.

We have one week left to register public comment against this rule!

My family and I are at our wits end and have no idea where to turn to next. As I posted in the memorial thread at the end of February a very dear friend, Charley Jordan, who has been considered a member of our family since 1968 passed on Feb 26. He has only a sister who has disowned him for over 30 years and, I hate to say it, would be happy to hear that news.

For years Charley has been telling my niece and myself that when he dies he wants his ashes to be spread at a certain place far up in the northeast corner of California in a forest. He's drawn Maps for us of the exact location.

The medical examiner has been holding his body and will not release it to us because there was no paperwork for power of attorney. They originally said they had to find the next of kin if they could and things would go from there. My niece just called me in tears saying the medical examiner had just finished telling her that if no next-of-kin is found then the medical examiner themselves will cremate the body and the ashes disposed of. They said no one will receive the remains.

This is in Sonoma County in California. Is there anybody out there who knows anything about this law or rule? Can anybody lead us in the right direction to resolve this in favor of Charley's wishes?

This is just so thoughtless and inhumane that I can't really believe it but apparently this is what they do. If anybody has any ideas whatsoever for us we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

As usual CCHR doesn't really know what they're talking about with regards to most treatments of mental disorders. But that's just my opinion. They of course refuse to believe that Bi-Polar disorder even exists. And they always use the potential abuse of children as a scare tactic, even though the FDA makes it clear that this re-classified use will be only for those 18 and older.

Upstairs at the Org

Maybe somebody here can clarify for me what occurred one day during my second stint as a public at a class V org. It was the summer of '85 and I had just quit a job I was in for 10 years. I had a few thousand dollars in profit sharing which I never told the org about.

My dear family friend, Charley, years before had paid for the HAS course for me and I felt it was time to go back and finally take it. I had read pretty much all of the basic books by this time.

I was told that they no longer offered the HAS but instead the equivalent would be the Ups and Downs in Life Course. Of course I took it. I have to admit it pissed me off as the course consisted of parts from one of the books I had read. It may have even been the Big Green volunteer ministers handbook which I still have by the way.

Now this is the part that I need understanding with. At some point I was called to one of the upstairs floors into an office. I sat down across the desk from a woman I did not know. She told me she was going to ask me some questions so I thought, "okay this won't be so bad." What happened next startled me.

She picked up the phone receiver that was on her desk, punched in 3 or 4 numbers, then put the receiver on the desk in front of me. I looked at it and I thought "what the f is this about?"

For the life of me I cannot recall even one question she asked but I do remember being embarrassed, angry, insulted, and shocked at most of the questions. They were very personal involving my girlfriend and my finances and things like that. I definitely did not volunteer any details. I just wish like hell I remembered the questions.

I would just like to know from those of you who may have had the same experience or maybe even had been the person on the other side of that desk who did the same types of things with others, what was going on? Was someone else somewhere in the building listening in and writing down what was being said? Was I being recorded? I almost asked her why she did that but something inside of me told me that her answer would be that she was just making sure that we were not being disturbed. This was not the only time I had a strange encounter with somebody in an office in that building.

So, anybody have knowledge of this or an opinion?

Trial about Narconon set in New York on April 7 2016

Quote:

Trial set in New York on April 7 over Narconon drug rehab hiding connection to Scientology

In September 2014, we told you about a lawsuit against a Scientology “Narconon” drug rehab facility in Florida that was filed by a New York couple, Heidi and Nathaniel Gore. At that time, the lawsuit had survived a challenge by Narconon’s attorneys, who said it didn’t make sense for the Florida rehab to be sued in a New York court.
...
We’re bringing it up again because just a few days ago, Judge Edmead set the case for trial in her New York court, and the date is coming up fast — April 7.

Also, the Gores were asking for sanctions against the defendants, and they were making some pretty interesting allegations. They say that the owners of the particular Florida franchise they are suing dropped out of Scientology’s Narconon network in October 2013 and as a result were then instructed by the licensing company, Narconon International, to burn everything that said “Narconon” on it in a fire. That was the defendant’s explanation, anyway, for why they couldn’t respond to certain requests for information about Narconon and its ties to Scientology.

Wow. We’ve been reporting about how Narconon is going up in a ball of flame in the last few years, but we didn’t mean it literally.
http://ift.tt/1WFnRRs - includes documents

(If there is another thread on this, please report this thread so it can be merged. There are so many cases about Narconon!)

Pusha T grew up seeing the infomercials. For the self-help books that promised tips on how to improve your life, have a happier marriage and enjoy your job more. Or for clinics that could cure everything from loneliness to cancer. Or for newly emerging religious groups.

I know of L. Ron Hubbard from growing up and wondering what .?.?. Dianetics was,” says the 38-year-old rapper born Terrence Thorton. But those TV ads for Hubbard’s form of psychotherapy, which was rebuked by medical professionals, would resonate with him decades later.

And it might explain the line “I’m the L. Ron Hubbard of the cupboard,” which he raps in “Crutches, Crosses, Caskets,” a standout from his latest album, “King Push: Darkest Before Dawn — The Prelude.” Like many of Pusha T’s songs, it features smart rhymes and plenty of pop culture references. But whereas many rappers might name-drop Tony Montana, Pusha opts for the creator of Scientology. It’s representative of the shift that has made the second act of Pusha T’s career a continued success.

The upcoming release of Ron Miscavige's book as posted on Tony O blog can have a major impact.

I'm asking for a call to arms, a http://ift.tt/1nzFSQw effect,

Imagine if all exmembers sent a printout of Tony O post http://ift.tt/1VxIP6j to local orgs, missions, AO's, Flag, etc.

While I understand the letter will not be forwarded throughout the organization, the person opening the letter will definitely read it and probably turn it over to Ethics.

It will create doubt, especially if a lot of letters are received, and constantly, week after week, and from all over the place.

I think also any newsworthly article can be sent, such as past people leaving and telling their story on Martys blog in his archives, etc.

Shoot, before I got the Debbie Cook email, I didn't know there was a Freeszone, the Indie movement here in the USA, I never heard of the Int Management people who escaped. I also didn't even to think about who were DM's dad and mom, his siblings, and when I found out, I had to look more. All of us individually do influence others in whatever small why, as long as truth is told.

For a few bucks a week, one can get their letters out stat up. LOL It works both ways.

Nora expolosively Daily Mail article. Hurray for Nora !





EXCLUSIVE: Scientology 'life coach' to John Travolta and Tom Cruise's children tells how she was forced to spend THREE YEARS in 'prison' for kissing a girl and escaped the Church by downing a bottle of bleach

'I kissed a Scientology girl and liked it - then I was forced to go to Scientology jail,' ex-Sea Org member tells Daily Mail Online
Nora Sova Crest, 39, now married to another ex-Scientologist, is the first person to ever speak out about her hard labor punishment
'Homosexuality in the Church is the lowest of the low, you're treated like scum,' says Nora
She worked with Tom Cruise's kids when Tom and Nicole were going through a separation and was ordered never to speak of her
Nora says that she was forced to live in a cockroach- and rat-infested accommodation block with other Sea Org members
She slept in dorms with 33 women on bunk beds. 'If I put my hand on the shoulder of a woman or spoke to a woman, I'd get a report'
When the doors opened, there was large stands of burger and fries and people would be diving at them, it was like a scene from Lord of the Flies
She saw a massive bottle of industrial strength bleach in a utility closet and drank a hefty cap full
'I fell backwards, my whole body was convulsing, my throat started to swell.'

Nora Crest speaks out in Daily Mail article...Life Coach to celeb children

do they physically prevent you from leaving?

hi, i've read a lot about the cult after watching Going Clear, and i'm completely fascinated by it. It's astonishing Miscavige hasn't been arrested and charged with running a massive criminal organization. I've read numerous accounts of people being guarded around the clock, seen how they have barbed fences pointing to the inside at the Gold Base in CA, being locked in the hole, etc., and their escapes.

So my question is how do they avoid getting charged with kidnapping? If someone says, "I want to leave," do they let them? Is the guarding and locked rooms largely a psychological (albeit very effective) tactic to make people think they cannot leave?

thanks
do they physically prevent you from leaving?

Two And A Half Years

In this thread I will bloviate in three parts. Part one will describe what happened to me two and a half years ago. Part two will talk about the inner changes I experienced since then, as a result of part one. Part three is the current update, and contains the good news.

PART ONE

Two and a half years ago I eagerly anticipated a new life in Australia where I could accomplish my goals and gain the respect I've wanted for so long. I won't go into too many details here, having done so on other threads, but in the space of just a few days I lost my home, my job, and my dream. Everything was gone just like that.

Even though my original plan had failed, I tried to revive it with different personnel (but couldn't). It was a major shock to lose everything at once; an episode of PTSD if you're comfortable with that term. It was so bad that more than once since then I considered checking myself into a mental hospital.

Some people were extremely kind to me during this time; what I needed most was time and space to decompress. Early kindness was essential in getting me started on life again, but it's taken YEARS for the ordeal to begin to fade.

Having run out of options in Australia, I reluctantly returned to Germany to pick up the pieces. I had "unmocked my working installation" and started over with practically nothing. My old apartment was of course gone. I went from hotel to hotel, hoping that there wouldn't be a big game where they would be all booked up. It felt like "my name was being erased from the Book of Life" (and I don't even know what that MEANS!)

Indeed, there was only ONE place in the entire city I could call mine -- my storage locker. A load of stuff was shipped to Australia; I told them to send it all back; but of course I had to wait for it. However, most of my things were in that locker -- my only physical connection to a life I otherwise obliterated.

The man I will call "P", who helped me with my move, was very kind to me. I stayed over at his place a few times during my "comeback" phase, and he appealed to his friends (who had an empty apartment) to rent that apartment to me (where I am right now).

Because of a housing shortage (there seems to be a housing shortage in EVERY major city now) it was the best I could do at the time. In spite of it being less than ideal, I took it, because I was desperate. I've been here for over two years now, although I never thought it would take this LONG to find something better. I call it The Foot Hospital because I'm only here because I shot myself in the foot :footbullet: with my actions.

In any case, I've been an emotional wreck, barely able to get up out of bed some days. They say it can take up to three YEARS to get over a major shock (and this was as major as they come). There was little I could do to speed up the process -- I just had to put my time in, my life on hold, more of an existence than a life during this time.

Ukraine war wounded treated with Scientology Touch Assists.

While the linked Tony Ortega post, written by Rod Keller, deals with many issues and should be read in its entirety, I want to emphasize the point titled above.

Photos were made available this week of Valerii Kokura and Scientology Volunteer Ministers from the Kiev, Ukraine mission’s visit to the Main Military Hospital in December. They visted soldiers wounded in the war against Russian separatists and delivered Scientology Touch Assists to the patients.

Shriekback Concert

Well, this is a long-shot. Back in 1987 I was on OEC/FEBC training at ITS (Big Blue). I befriended a young Sea Org member, unfortunately I don't remember her name. Anyway, we shared some common interests, namely in music. In a rare instance of planetary alignment, we managed to get time off on a Saturday night and went an saw a band called Shriekback (fantastic show, btw) in LA.

I thought, what the hell, I'll post it on ESMB and see what comes up. If you're out there, PM me.

Megan McKinley and Alexis Young Scientology disconnected from their father Skip Young

Megan McKinley and Alexis Young have Scientology disconnected from their father Skip Young.

The story by Tony Ortega obviously involves much more than Scientology disconnection, and should be read in full. A part concerning the subject of this post, disconnection, is excerpted below.

Tony Ortega: A Scientology spy comes forward: Now he’s ready for ‘war’ with David Miscavige

While he waited to hear the comm ev’s findings, he heard from Alexis in February. He had told his daughters that he planned to visit them later that month, but Alexis was angry.

“Dad, how dare you come to see me. We know what you did,” she said, Skip remembers.

“No, you don’t know,” he replied. And then she hit him with a barrage.

“I am a hard working Sea Org member. We’re working to clear the planet, and you’re hooking up with suppressive people,” she told him.

“It was all information that was coming from church sources,” he says, and he couldn’t convince her that he had his own version of events.

“That was the last time she spoke to me.”

Young had to wait eight months after his hearing before finally getting word of the comm ev’s findings and recommendations.

“They found me guilty of three crimes and three or four high crimes,” he says.

In order to get back in the good graces of the church, Young would have to submit to multiple interrogations (known as “sec checks”), and do a lengthy amends program. It would total about $14,000.

“If I did it, there would still be nothing to guarantee that they still wouldn’t declare me suppressive,” he says, which is Scientology’s version of excommunication.

After the findings came out in August 2014, Megan, his other daughter, also cut off all contact with him, notifying him in an email that she wanted nothing more to do with him.

Six months ago, in October, Young notified the Master at Arms at AOLA that he refused to come up with $14,000 to clear his name.

He also, that month, made a surprise visit to Florida to see Megan.

“I tried to make my case, explaining how wrong this was. How the evidence in the comm ev was improper and the conclusions were based on false assumptions.” But she refused to talk with him.

“If you come to my door again, I’ll call the police,” she told him.

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

He is frustrated that he can’t convince his two girls to see how he’s been mistreated by the organization. But he’s sure that they are too afraid to go against the orders they’ve been given.

“They’re only doing this from fear,” he insists. “Their hearts are not in this disconnecting from me.”

And after 40 years with Scientology, he’s come to a remarkable conclusion.

“They’ve brainwashed my daughters.”

The FBI and Miscavige

I work in an establishment that caters to the public. Some of the clientele are FBI, Secret Service, City police and Detectives, as well as everyday people working in everyday jobs.

Very often when the FBI agents come in I kind of razz them, good-naturedly of course. I ask them if they have solved that grassy knoll thing yet or some armored car robbery from 30 years ago and things like that. There is actually One agent I continually call L. Ron Hubbard's bastard Moon child and he thinks it's hilarious.

One day two of the FBI agents came in. One is about 45 years old and the other around 30 years old. They always expect something outrageous to come out of my mouth so I indulged them by asking, "When are you going to take down David Miscavige and close down Scientology?" The older of the two just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. The younger one said, and I quote, "I know who David Miscavige is but I don't know what Scientology is." The older one told the younger one that he is the head of Scientology which made me laugh. The younger one replied, ohhhh that crazy cult group."

The fact that one of the agents knew exactly who Miscavige is but had no idea what Scientology is makes me wonder if Miscavige is the main target for them. On the other hand it may mean nothing but then again... I just found that a bit interesting.

tony O - new post scientology spy

Quote:

Len Zinberg • 2 hours ago
No one who has worked or volunteered to be a part of Scientology's massive spying apparatus is a saint. Quite the opposite. We have hurt innocent people, justified it, and in the process emboldened and strengthened an evil organization.

Scientology is akin to the Mafia and the witnesses with direct knowledge are seldom choirboys. Think Sammy "the bull" Gravano, a low-life killer himself, whose testimony put away Gotti.

Whenever I think of those Scientologists I knew who still remain silent; people like Jerry Hines, Kathy and Andy Savas, Charlie Batdorf, Jimmy and Jeff Marino, and George Pilat, all in their late 60's or '70's today...I wish they'd come forward and tell what they did, instead of carrying their "secrets" to their graves.

Their victims are owed the truth after all these years, as are all victims of Scientology...including themselves.
Hi Len - I thought I'd mention - the last time I saw Charley Batdorf, he was at Flag - he was doing the basics ( I think that was the course he was on - I had to do them on my spare time, when I wasn't in session, or maybe the congresses) and interestingly he was going through them with a lap top, used as an online dictionary, and making careful notes, cross referencing one LRH comment against others in great detail. Now, of course, it is laughable to me, but then I admired it. I took extensive notes of tapes when I did the BC, but sometime after I was declared, and I realized that Scientology was pretty much a con, I tossed them.

Did you ever know these guys? Duke Snider and Joe Lisa and Henning Heldt. I met both Joe and Henning ( and his wife Mary) back at NYO. Duke I met in LA when I was on the FSC OT Committee in LA. I was surprised just how many GO staff came from the ranks of New Yorkers, including Jimmy Mulligan and some of the others Tony mentions in his book on Paulette.

Anyway - I don't know how Skip plans to war with Scientology, but I wish him all the luck in the world.

EDIT : By the way - if OSA hassles you Charley, for my post, my apologies. I have been on the receiving end of their "care" about posts by others about me, and have paid for the subsequent sec check. It's kinda late for me to do anything about it now that I already posted, but, like I said, sorry, I wasn't thinking it through.

Leo Hamel’s Ties to Church of Scientology Eyed in California Assembly Race

, a Republican candidate for state Assembly, says he joined the controversial Church of Scientology at age 18 or 19 but hasn’t taken part in church functions since the early 2000s.

Hamel’s connection to the church founded by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard is being debated on sdrostra.com, a conservative blog, and raised as an issue by one of his rivals.

“The Scientology question is a fair one,” Eric Andersen said in a comment. “Although religion should not be a test for office, it helps us understand the ideas our representatives will uphold.”

Hamel hasn’t responded to the blog about the 71st District race, he told Times of San Diego, “because it’s a lose-lose for me.”

“I’m a good guy. I do nothing but help people in this community. I donate to tons of charities,” he said Wednesday in a phone interview. “I haven’t been to a [Scientology] service … in at least 10 years, maybe 15.”

But he still took offense.

“The fact that we’re discussing somebody’s religion seems kind of against everything that we’re supposed to be standing for these days,” Hamel said. “No matter where my position is on Scientology, it’s still a religion — and it would be inappropriate to discuss someone’s religion — completely inappropriate.”

Scientology's Personality Test - Science or Scam?

Chris Shelton's latest vid:



:clap: :clap: :clap: Just fascinating. Nobody has taken this apart before. Thanks, Chris! I only wish the video were longer, it was so interesting.

Chris runs through the history of psychometric testing, how Scientology's OCA test was developed (and by whom), the criteria of psychometric tests, actual scientific reviews of it and how the test is not scientific at all and some of the politically prejudicial questions contained within it.

He details how the test itself is biased to show any normal person as abnormal, how this was proven by professionals and how the test is used to manipulate a person to believe they have something seriously wrong that needs to be addressed.

There's much more, too. It's a great video.

Thanks for doing this, Chris. :thumbsup: Five star vid.

Tom's best friend

http://ift.tt/1Wu1U7G

Dear Gossips,

What’s your answer to the question: Who is Tom Cruise’s best friend?

Probably David Miscavige, right? David Miscavige’s father, Ron, is coming out with a book called Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me. It’s due in May. And father and son do not have a good relationship. Ron quit the Church in 2012. So now he’s, presumably, telling all of his son’s secrets. But let’s be real – we’re not interested in David’s secrets, are we? We are interested in his best friend’s secrets.

But David hasn’t always been Tom’s BFF. Tom’s turned 54 this year. When he was 24 years old, his best friend was Emilio Estevez and also Sean Penn but they weren’t hanging out that much anymore because Sean got married to Madonna. And when he was 24 years old he was telling all of this to Cameron Crowe for Interview Magazine. Go back and read that article with 30 years of hindsight. It’s FASCINATING. So much of it is. Including the part where he talks about watching the rushes every day. You hear all the time how actors can’t bear to see their own performances. Tom Cruise, evidently, has never had that problem. Is it vanity? Or just a lot of self-confidence?
