ex-Sea Org Fanatic Exposes the COS

A new book on Scientology has been blocked in the US by Scientology. The Complex by John Duignan exposes some hidden aspects of the cult. John — who had never heard of Scientology — was 22 and living in Stuttgart with his German girlfriend but their relationship was on the rocks. Depressed and lonely, he accepted.

John, now 45, says: “The test is a clever recruitment device because it appeals to people who are searching for something. I was unhappy and latched on to the prospect of gaining confidence. I probably needed proper psychological counselling but I got nothing of the sort. The result of my initial test was Urgent Action Required.

“These friendly people seemed to have the answer in Scientology and I surrendered myself to it.” In the following weeks, John was grounded in the Scientology doctrine. Under a regime of sleep deprivation, brainwashing and so-called counselling, John gave up his mind to the bizarre teachings. John quickly became fanatical about his new-found faith. He says: “I saw myself as a soldier for Scientology. I believed it was the only route out of oblivion for mankind.

“The doctrine teaches a human’s body doesn’t matter because it is the Thetan, or soul, which survives. “If I’d been told someone had to be eliminated because they were a threat to Scientology I could have justified the killing. They’d just lose their body, which isn’t needed.”

He says: “As a Sea Org member I’d get to wear a special uniform and be highly respected by other Scientologists. We were told other members would bow to us. Suddenly I felt important.” But when John arrived at the cult’s headquarters in LA, conditions were not what he’d imagined. He says: “We were expected to work, eat and sleep Scientology with every minute of the day scheduled, from 7am until lights out at 11pm.” The harsh conditions John endured were in stark contrast to the luxury enjoyed by stars at the glittering Scientology Celebrity Centre down the road.

Scientology: Lies and the Lying Liars

The public image of Church of Scientology (CoS) has been taking a beating in recent months in no small part to Scientology's celebrity poster boy Tom Cruise. His attack on Brook Shields, his interview with Matt Lauer on the today show, His jumping on Oprah's sofa, and then the internal Scientology video leaked on the internet has backfired on the church. Anonomous calls these idiotic errors of judgment foot bullets. Tom has been reported to having attained OT7, which is close to the highest level attainable in the CoS. If Tom is a representation of what Scientology can do for people not many wogs (non-Scientologists) are going to be attracted to join the Church.

At this point, no doubt, CoS leaders are hoping to let this flap die down so that they can continue scamming people who haven't heard about the abuses committed within the church. When reporters question CoS spokespeople about internal abuses they are denied even in the face of overwhelming evidence that shows otherwise.

Many outside observers find it incredible that CoS officials can lie so blatantly. However, ex-members show no surprise at all. In fact many of the ex-members report that learning to be an effective liar is one skill all new members learn early in their indoctrination into the cult. The founder of the CoS, L. Ron Hubbard was a habitual liar. To read more about the Lies and Lying Liars of the Church of Scientology click - Here -

Scientology Ethics - Control and Hypocricy

If you get involved with Scientology you will soon learn that the word ethics takes on an entirely new meaning. And observers and ex-members recognize that the way "ethics" are handled in Scientology is a crucial part of the methods used to control members. Any critical thinking, or any individual subjective observation or insight about the "tech" that doesn't conform to Church dogma is "out ethics." If have discovered something that works better than standard "tech" you are "out ethics." Part of "Keeping Scientology Working" (KSW) is enforcing ethics both on oneself and on others. So, members are always on guard to catch any break in acceptable behavior as defined by CoS. Having critical thoughts about L. Ron Hubbard or doubts about the efficacy of Scientology "tech" will get you sent to the ethics officer for handling. The ethics officer will do a run down to find the source of the problem. If the problem cannot be corrected immediately then the member may be handled in different ways. You may be forced to write up your crimes for hours or even days until the ethics officer is satisfied that it has been handled. You may be routed out (kicked out), put into a lower condition, or sent to RFP if you are a sea org member. Members learn very quickly that it is much easier to put their doubts out of their mind. Having doubts reflects very poorly on the person having doubts. If you've paid thousands of dollars to get progress along the bridge why on earth would you risk losing it and be forced to redo expensive courses just to consider the merit of outside criticism. The truth is few dare risk reading anything that might jeopardize their standing in the Church. It is as they say, "counter-intentional" self-defeating behavior.

As a Scientologist you learn that "ethics" means you need to be honest with other Scientologists but not necessarily with "wogs" (non-Scientologists). As a Scientologist you find out that it is OK to deceive and manipulate "wogs" if it promotes the goals of the CoS. And the attitude toward those who would dare speak out against Scientology or simply report the truth about the illegal activities of the Church of Scientology is totally outside normal social bounds. In this case the policy of "Fair Game" maybe applied. It is OK to lie to them, cheat them, or destroy them utterly.

To put it simply, "Scientology Ethics" is an oxymoron.

My Karma ran over my Dogma

This article was written by a member of the Church of Scientology who left after 34 years. In the early years of Scientology there was little talk of it being a religion. Early Scientologists were primarily interested in the tech. Getting benefit from it directly and in helping others to benefit from it. Later, L. Ron sent out orders to all the missions to call themselves a church and for all auditors to call themselves ministers. They were in the middle of a battle with the IRS to get tax exempt status so the religious cloaking was vital to their case. So, although they never talk about God, they now conduct weekly religious services at each church. If the intent of the church leadership were sincere about wanting to clear the planet the price they charge for religious services (auditing) would have to come down.

Scientology -- Is This a Religion?

Stephen A. Kent Ph.D. researches new and alternative religions, combining perspectives from sociology with religious studies.

Scientology -- Is This a Religion? In this article by professor Kent explores the many aspects of the Church of Scientology, making many insightful observations about its structure and behavior.

Although some social scientists insist that Scientology is a religion, the more appropriate position to take is that the organization is a multi-faceted transnational that has religion as only one of its many components. Other components include political aspirations, business ventures, cultural productions, pseudo-medical practices, pseudo-psychiatric claims, and (among its most devoted members who have joined the Sea Organization), an alternative family structure. Sea Organization's job demands appear to allow little time for quality child rearing. Most disturbing, however, about Sea Organization life is that members can be subject to extremely severe and intrusive punishments through security checks, internal hearings called "Committees of Evidence," and a forced labor and re-indoctrination program known as the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF) and its harshest companion, the RPF's RPF. Taken together, these harsh and intrusive punishments likely violate a number of human rights clauses as outlined by two United Nations statements.

Hollywood, Satanism, Scientology and Suicide

Is the Church of Scientology (CoS) the way to happiness or the way to hell? For some, Scientology is a way to suicide.

There have so many suicides connected to the Church of Scientology over the years it's actually quite difficult to keep track of them all. These reported suicides come in from around the world. And some of these reported suicides are very suspicious and may actually have been staged to hide murder. Alarmingly, the numbers seem to be increasing. Could it be the result of the increasing number of gang bang security checks? The family's of the victims would like to know, "What the hell is going on inside Scientology?" Why do so many members and ex-members end up killing themselves? See -- Why Are They Dead --

The Scientology celebrities are kept ignorant, and are shielded from all bad news. They're kept totally away from all the cruelty and the abuse that goes on inside the organization, and at Scientology's gulag-type concentration camps and punishment program called Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF).

Most Scientology celebrities are victims themselves and don't know that they are being systematically deceived. A very few of them know about Scientology's secret goals, but most of them have no idea about the suicides or the attempted suicides at the Celebrity centers or other centers. Any time they hear anything negative they are told "It's all lies. Don't listen to it. It's just the psychiatrist attacking us again." See -- The Fable --

If Scientology were actually working so well for people why don't they open themselves up for a truly scientific review of the results that they claim are so miraculous? The truth is they can't and expect to be able to continue. They actively resist any outside scrutiny or any form of scientific testing on their technology. So, it's obvious, Scientology's obsession with secrecy has developed for a purpose. Their secrecy and religious cloaking is meant to hide its failure to deliver on its promises, its abuses, its casualties and its real, evil purposes and its true, satanic nature.

Operation Freakout

Scientologists will tell you that L. Ron Hubbard's "fair game policy" was cancelled in 1968. If that is true, then that cancellation hasn't stopped Scientologists from continuing illegal attacks on their critics.

Operation PC Freakout, was a Church of Scientology (CoS) covert black op intended to have the author Paulette Cooper imprisoned or committed to a mental institution. The plan, undertaken in 1976 following years of Church-initiated lawsuits and covert harassment, was meant to eliminate the perceived threat that Cooper posed to the Church and obtain revenge for her publication in 1971 of a highly critical book, The Scandal of Scientology. The FBI discovered documentary proof of the CoS's illegal attacks and the preceding campaign of harassment during their own investigation into the Church of Scientology in 1977.
