Usually when I sit down to write it is about policy or tech. But tonight I am burning with another thought as I watch a friend make a decision about whether he believes the present church can be salvaged. . . Written by Jimmy Rebel |

"Scientology has been taken over by a self-appointed dictator, David Miscavige, who has turned the Creed of the Church of Scientology, the Code of a Scientologist, and the Credo of a True Group Member on their heads and instituted the virtual practice of Reverse (Black) Dianetics..." Learn More...
"Meet the abusive individual who turned Scientology into a cult, doesn't practice the religion himself, has refused auditing for 19 years, won't even do a course in Scientology. His technical alterations include the destruction of training, the re-definition of instant reads and FNs, violating the "No-Interference Zone" Policy for those on OT VII (with unnecessary sec checks every 6 months) resulting in unworkability. He tore apart international management. Abandoned dissemination programs. Contributed to Lisa McPherson's demise. And the list goes on..." Learn More...

From 1760 to 1776, the main work was done for the revolution by Patrick Henry and the Virginia and Massachusetts assemblies. A correct groundwork needs to be laid, taking the long view and thinking big. The revolution never would have happened had these guys not tried every other route first and laid groundwork and established doable targets. We won't have to resort to physical takeover, it's not the same fight. We can't lose, that's unthinkable.
Being willing to resort to the extreme of a physical takeover if necessary, will prevent a physical takeover from being necessary.
LRH condones any method be used to take out squirrel management.
I don't know how you get the idea that I don't want to put ethics in on DM and his stooges. The article is about binding us together on LRH's purpose while this is being done.Ron wanted us to continue to get the show on the road while we handled the stops in the way. Like Thoughtful and others that write here I want both.
Your point about contributing is excellent. That is why I began to write articles for Steve's high-quality, de-stimulative site. If one can't write very well, one can figure out something ETHICAL and CONSTRUCTIVE they can do. You feel great when you do something. After all...the wrong thing to do is nothing.

Good to see as sane a viewpoint as yours being aired out here. Not much more to say, your points are well stated and taken.
What we did on staff or in the S.O. we did because we thought it was the best course of action across the dynamics. Those decisions are still there, the dynamics are the same. The only change that has occurred is how the endless energy of dedicated people is being focused.
I personally think that if the energy of independents got focused on freeing beings as opposed to reforming the church into an on policy organization we would overwhelm the shell that remains. We do all have hats we were trained in don't we? I think Ron would want us to wear them and get the job done.
If we followed policy and tech correctly and they didn't, which way would the cards fall? I don't think they would fall into empty buildings and organizations run by beings afraid of being excommunicated because they didn't conform to what currently passes for Scientology.
Put one of those frigid, empty, ideal things they seem to want so much up against a well run comm course and see which one fills up first.
Any bets?
R.
I'll bet - for the Comm Course. And in that scenario I wouldn't be the only one to win!
If our purpose is to get in ethics on the planet then this is where we start. Being outside of Miscavige's 'Sea Org' changes nothing.
You have a unique voice. One that should be heard.
I felt an incredible loss when the Ol'man passed away because I always considered him a personal friend and we no longer had that comm line we once had, then I was sitting in Qual one day and looked at the OECs and Tech Volumes and realized that though he may be gone he left us quite a legacy.
So, even though the Goal maker is gone the goal is still there. we still have the Aims of Scientology.
The irony is that the Organization is mainly the only thing right now, directly, preventing us from achieving those aims.
Yet the aims are still there and I'm sure for many of us here, that our purpose is still Ron's purpose and that we still helping him achieve those aims.
Just a thought.
Probably one I wouldn't have had if I hadn't read your piece.
Anyway Rebel keep writing and saying what you're saying because what you say is important.

I concur. Deliver the goods. This is what is severely lacking in the church. Expansion will occur where delivery is in. And, in doing so we will create that GROUP purpose again. It has been years since I felt that I was part of Scientology group. Since the start of Marty's blog, I have felt more and more like a Scientologist. Although I do not know many of the blogger's we all do have the same purpose. It sounds like the beginning of a group to me.
Whenever a new order begins to be put in the disorder, as you know, instantly appears. A new order is gathering and the disorder is of no small magnitude. All we have to do is just keep doing what we're doing (putting in increments of order) and the disorder will inevitably convert into order.
It seems to me that on the cycle of action CoS is at the tail end of the conserve phase (desperately clinging) but as sure as the sun sets in the west, will soon be slipping into decay and, of course, finally death.
On the other hand, from what I've been reading the Independent Scientologists Movement (ISM), although being in a phase of growth for some time, is now experiencing somewhat of a dynamic growth spurt. In any event, there is no doubt that an obvious rekindling of purpose is now well underway amongst a multitude of Scientologists and one can only imagine where this might lead. That being noted, it might be a prudent move to buckle up as I sense that we are all about to go on a ride of the likes that we have not been on for a very, very long time.
Attainment is still a fer piece away for the ISM but that's okay by me as the best part of the "juice" is in the journey.
We just need to keep writing, talking and telling our stories to each other and, indeed, to the world if the world is interested.
Definitely, this is a most wonderful opportunity for us one and all to really test our philosophy outside the familiar and predictable, even if at times abusive, confines of the CoS.
Cheers!
I look forward to your next article Jimmy Rebel.
