			<description><![CDATA[P. Henry - that was an excellent quote. It really embraces the issue. Once again, LRH proves that he was for freedom and self-determinism - not a "religious" enclave that controlled Scientologists.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Liberating words OTB. This is an excellent article that you've written! I was using ARC long before I ever knew that is was called ARC. But there came a time when I felt that if I was going to tell anyone about ARC, then I would first have to go through the appropriate terminals to get permission. And, of course, any activity such as this would have to have a stat and a report of stats connected to it. Yeah, it got to the point where Scn could not be taken out of the building unless, you paid dearly. Excerpt: "To lay down a big plan for Scientologists and say, 'This is the organization and this is what we are going to do: steps one, two, three ...' is saying that none of you have a right to think or plan. The only thing we can do inside Scientology is hold the communication lines of Scientology and its service in an orderly state. And we can keep the show on the road. But this is an inside perimeter." From: HCOPL 24 Mar 81, Executive Series 33, Leadership More About. Note: I first read this PL in 84' and at a time where, with each passing day, more and more control was being levelled against the Scn field, this comm from LRH was what aligned to. Not the other.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One of the more interesting scams is licensing use of the "secular technology" and harassing people if they don't pay up. Customarily, if you buy a book or take a course in something, you can go right out and use what you've learned (unless you're a franchisee using a company's trademarks). That's the case with Narconon, but the trademark has such negative value at this point that they have put up dozens of "referral" drug rehab websites that make no direct mention of Narconon. That isn't the case with WISE at all. Some members may get some referral business, but many just pay fees because of coercion or outright ethics threats. In the French trial last June, Jean-Pierre Brard, a deputy in France's parliament, used an interesting meta[censored]or: "The way cults operate is like a drainage system. “You don’t see the drainage system, but it functions very well, and you can’t see where all those little drainpipes end up but in any case they go somewhere – and it's the same with Scientology.”]]></description>
