			<description><![CDATA[What you have written is beautiful and although I have not paid much attention to the workings of The Church since I left in the late 70's I think you stated all that I had expected would happen to the church after LRH died. All that power and money! What more could an SP ever want and they always seen to be around when a such void is created. Also, I really have to thank you for ending with Hubbard's Code Of Honor. I am a graduate of LRH's Personal Ethics and Integrity course and to see it again truly made my day.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I would like to tell you that I have found David MisCavage, but that would be premature.I have found where to look for him. David is below death on the tone scale. Ron mentioned INVERSIONS of the tone scale, but I don't remember reading about inversions in the training materials of the church. Basicially, by inversion, I mean a mirror image of the tone scale. To handle something, you need to confront it, but you really can't confront it if you can't find it. To find David MisCavage, look at an inversion (mirror image) of the tone scale.(and remember, he is an OT, so don't expect him to be stuck on the tone scale). This is not meant as an invalidation of David MisCavage, but we really do have a situation that needs handling.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for writing the above and for the website. For me it rekindled a lot of my early intentions (scientologist since 1962, left the church 'officially' after LRH died)when I first contacted and started applying scientology. What works, works. For me (most of) the early tech worked like a swiss watch. When "red on white" tech bulletins started becoming "beige on white", I knew we were in big trouble. "Keeping Scientology Working" was thrown out the window. I never fully understood why in the current major portion of criticism of scientology one sees attacks on the tech along with the church, until I read the section above, "Critics of Scientology". Thanks for that too. John McMaster - not HSS VI OT VI]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great post, Steve and one I wholeheartedly agree with. I've been out of the Cult of Miscavology for over a year now and I'd be still in there if it weren't for many earlier critics who braved the unknown and published what they'd experienced or found regardless of the (sometimes terrible) consequences. Without the Net, they were lone voices crying in the wilderness. But they kept going because it was what they had as their personal integrity. For those of us who've witnessed the miracles that can occur from even something as simple as an assist, we do need to keep pushing the message that "it isn't all bad - there is a different side than the one you have been told." Too many have only heard one side - and that includes those in as well as those criticizing. It's time to be different and apply that Personal Integrity - thank you again for doing that so eloquently, Steve.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[These are interesting observations, Steve. I'm especially glad you acknowledged David Mayo, who is a kind-hearted and decent fellow -- wherever he might be laying low now. You can expect some interesting developments on the religion front beginning October 27, when the verdict is due in the current French fraud trial. That case has been covered in English by a Brit journalist named Jonny Jacobsen as part of his research on a book. His blog is well worth reading. [censored]://infinitecomplacency.bl ogspot.com/2009/05/20-scientology-o n-trial-in-france.html (That's the introduction to 31 more articles and counting; see The Paris Trial links starting about midway down in the right column.) In this trial, the prosecution initially sought to dissolve (legally shut down) Scientology in France as a criminal organization. Shortly before the trial began, however, a rewording of the law was mysteriously slipped through under the guise of "simplification" that eliminated that possibility. But no matter; the judge can still order that the organization cease to operate for five years; or that it cease using the OCA personality test, delivering the Purification Rundown, and using the e-meter for psychological evaluation. Those three prohibitions alone would mean that Scientology can't operate per policy. There have been a few suicides in France by people who were financially ruined or cruelly disheartened. Last year, there was a scandal regarding a woman whose brother, an OT and medical doctor, kidnapped her for an Introspection Rundown that was as badly delivered as Lisa Mc[censored]erson's. Fortunately she was rescued by the police. These tragedies are underscored by the fact that Scientology is not recognized as a religion, and that no religion is allowed to dispense or interfere with medical treatment anyway. That goes for Christian Science and the Jehovah's Witnesses, too. There have been similar problems with the Purif in Russia. What it comes down to is that "freedom of religion" in some countries does not give an organization absolute license to extort money, practice medical quackery and engage in political manipulation as it pretty much does in the United States. If you think Scientology has a bad reputation there, check out the rest of the world.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Again, I as a guy who is still connected sort of (been gone for about thereabouts a decade). I have been closely and deeply watching this all unfold from an ext point of view, and because I consumed most of my adult career. I care deeply about Source, and that is mostly I believe in the [censored]iloso[censored]y of LRH, because it does work indeed. I know this for a fact, in auditing 25,000 hours of auditing for 20 years from the grades to FPRD, to NOTS. Keep in mind, I was ignorant 15 year old when I caught on. This is an interesting ride indeed.]]></description>

			<title>Scientology as a religion</title>
			<link>https://mail.scientology-cult.com/what-makes-us-different.html#comment-158</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Thanks RJ! And this is a good point you make here. If it weren't for the fact that auditors would have to get licensed to practice by the state, Scientology might be better off just as a "spiritual [censored]iloso[censored]y." But that's from a marketing perspective since the moment you say "religion" about 50% of the public out there find that highly offensive since to them "religion" means "worship" and "God" and we're not about that. For them, calling Scientology a religion is a deal breaker. That is a barrier for dissemination. Nevertheless, Scientology does qualify as a religion. Maybe some day we can resolve this problem, too, and open up Scientology for everyone who wants it.]]></description>

			<title>Past Whistle Blowers</title>
			<link>https://mail.scientology-cult.com/what-makes-us-different.html#comment-156</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I also want to tip my hat to all the whistle blowers across the decades who tried to do something about red flags they observed. In many cases they got mowed down by the organization. And in some cases huge injustices occurred. The only difference between them and us is we have the Internet. Thank god for that. It is an unstoppable communication line that puts us all into communication and enables the facts to spread far and wide. Many, many honorable people came before us. We are in their debt.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, like Time magazine -- a great example of a past critic that was off the mark. They were right about the organization being mafia-like, but generalized their attack onto LRH and Scientology tech, which is a wrong target. And as for the upper levels, I'm doing my OT V outside the Church. And I think the creation of this website, having everyone involved, and all of your comments are a prime example of what "OT" is all about. I've now added a new section into the article which is a defense of the OT levels. Let me know what you guys think.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Exactly Steve! In this case the solution to the problem became the problem because of many peoples idee fixee, mind set or what we call service fac or computation of what a "religion" should be, least of which the State Licensing Boards and as Ron calls them the "Infernal Ravening Service". Not to mention the lil' guy who currently runs it who demands blind obedience and worship. Probably why the Ol'man had much trepidation and when Ol'Burt made it a fait accompli spent much of his time defining what Religion is as we can see in The [censored]oenix Lectures where he gave several lectures on the subject. Well the fact of the matter is that it is as Ron says "a religion in the oldest sense of the word" and that's the truth, despite efforts by various morons to label it otherwise, but it is also a science and a [censored]iloso[censored]y as well. So if religion turns you off you could call it either one of those. Me I don't care as long as it works for me :-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Steve, your writings really inspire and cheer the soul - perceptive, insightful and evocative. I think you've also demonstrated that communities can also have integrity, not just individuals, and as long as we all keep our own personal integrity we will be a very formidable group. The power generated by this new community of scientologists is wonderful, almost tangible, and growing. As I have personally discovered, the experience of getting the truth about the current CofS, as many others have observed, can be earth-shattering and this site and its associated community serve a great purpose as support for such people. On that note, let's not forget the current staff, esp. SO. We are talking about real people, mostly decent honest beings who only wanted to help. As more OTs leave, and the exodus of celebrities starts and the whole Miscavige empire starts imploding there will be many thousands of disorientated people who need good info and support. This site and Marty's blog etc serve a really valuable purpose in that regard. Actually I can quite easily see a time when some of the articles on this site will be on student checksheets, esp those studying the history of Scn. Lastly, Steve, I am saddened to see you've got a Corvette. Wouldn't you prefer getting from A to B without having to take your tool box with you?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a well written piece, it explains this group's intentions clearly. It also gives the failures of past groups that attacked the religion of Scientology. By attacking the doctrines as laid out by LRH, and Hubbard himself made these people look bad, in my opinion. I appreciate as well that the website will not publish or degrade upper level materials. Thank you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[D I happen to agree with you however, you mention leaders? there are NO leaders! The only so-called leader is DM he must be taken off post period. I'm ready let's go! I don't know the logistics but I am sure we could get a permit, the media, all of the above however, the intention has to be to get DM off post. I know for a fact there are people at Int who want to be there. This guy is clever he will make it look as though we are crazy and there is no problem. The people who remain are happy and productive. He will have a warning and I will tell you he will make it look as though we all have made this up. To do nothing will not end this either but he needs turned on him what he has tuned on others. He has lost as far as I am concerned some of the smartest highly trained people out there. Those left are so belittled that I don't think there is much fight left in them. I could be wrong it will take thousands of people to march on him and it is overdue.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thoughtful, you're a true inspiration. You're lighting a fire under me to take action. We need to apply the ethics gradients but Casey I agree with you, if things don't improve after several of us have written KRs not only uplines but most importantly BPI to all Staff & Public, we should start marching & take back our Church! I thought of a public demonstration outside an International Event or at FLAG, PAC Base or INT Base of 100s maybe 1000s of Scientologists, no mask w/total TR-O in. Peaceful, calm, ARCful with signs identifying us Like “Concerned OT-V, 20 yrs in”, “Concerned CL XII, 27 yrs in”, “Concerned Div 6, 1 month in”… w/banners stating things like “We want transparency”, “We want to look not listen. Show us the Stats”, “Where is Mark Yager, Shelley Miscavige, Heber Jentzsch,…” No antagonistic signs like "Take David Miscavige off post” but rather signs that would indicate/communicate to other Scientologists that haven’t started looking seriously at the outpoints yet. Having the media show up, interviewing some of us stating “we are concerned w/the rumors that our Church is committing Human Rights violations”, “we want to take back our Church”, “either clear conclusively the accusations or reform upper management” or whatever the leaders of our movement decide is appropriate. The main idea is to have a totally uptone & theta demonstration showing a large volume of Scientologists (EX-SO/Staff, declared “SP’s”, Public in good standing or not, working all together) taking a stand that the abuses and violation of policies of all sorts have to stop. I truly believe that the presence of Theta can de-enturbulate entheta and I think this could be an effective blow to the enemies. We could have copies of Mary Jo's & others KRs that we would handout. I know it would take a lot of organizing & lots of logistics to be effective but I believe that that's a specialty of a lot of us. In addition, it would be fun to meet all of you in person :-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As always Thoughtful Steve. You frickin' rock dude! Any way just to add my two bits but the fact is Ron was on the fence about calling Scientology a religion even though he wrote and spoke in many lectures that he was entering the area of religion with the discovery of past lives and the capabilities of the spirit. Despite what the haters say. In fact there was much debate among Scientologists at the time whether Scientology should be called a religion, a science or [censored]iloso[censored]y and it wasn't till J Burton Faber incorporated the first Church of Scientology in California that Ron decided that it should be called a religion.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well I guess that about says it all! well done! I don't know that Vaughn Young ever took any payoff. It appeared he cared a lot. I truly believe lot of SO members cared a lot or they never would have entered into the quest for truth and freedom. I just personally feel that they all (anyone left) and DM needs to be relieved of duty. There was a movie with Denzel Washington whereby he was a naval commander and relieved the guy incharge I can't remember the name of it but you know it is the right time. Cutting off the income is one way and a powerful way but I feel that is already happening. He [censored]ysically and the rest of them need to go and I am not sure how that will play out. Perhaps we all need to go remove them!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for stating exactly where I stand. I have never seen an article that better explains my thoughts and feelings about Scientology, the Sea Org and having been out for 19 years. When I have to explain my "past life" in Scientology to someone I have just met, I always make it clear that I do not have a vendetta against the Church, nor do I wish it to fail. By telling my story I am not attacking the Church but just giving the facts of my experience. I also make it clear that I do not think Scientology is bad. It is a subject with applications and technology that if applied can and does help people. That said, like any other group of any size, it does have PEOPLE in it who should not be there, especially in a position of power. A group is made up of people and these individuals are responsible for making the group good or bad, safe or dangerous. Thank you for pointing out these very important differences.]]></description>
