Scientology is a neat reflection of the worst aspects of American culture with its repulsive veneration of celebrity; its weird attitudes towards women, sex, healthcare and contraception; its promise of equality among its followers but actual crushing inequality…. In Beyond Belief, she shares her true story of life inside the upper ranks of the sect, details her experiences as a member Sea Org—the church's highest ministry, speaks of her "disconnection" from family outside of the organization, and tells the story of her ultimate escape. What emerges in her memoir is both fascinating and terrifying.

She began speaking up and speaking out, in her own way, and this made a lot of people incredibly nervous.

  • Sogni Rubatirubati
    SogniSogni RubatiRubati © Di Jeff Hawkins, 2008. Tratto da http://counterfeitdreams.blogspot.com/ Traduzione in italiano © Simonetta Po per “Allarme Scientology” www.allarmescientology.it , 2009 Prefazione del traduttore Jeff Hawkins è stato staff della Chiesa di Scientology per 35 anni, la maggioranza dei quali in Sea Org. Per tutta la sua carriera si è occupato di promozione e marketing, ha tra l'altro lavorato, curato e diretto le riviste interne e ha progettato e lanciato alcune tra le campagne pubblicitarie di maggior successo della Chiesa di Scientology. Ha lavorato a Pubs WW a Edimburgo, partecipato al trasferimento a Copenhagen di quella che sarebbe diventata la New Era Publications, concluso la carriera a Golden Era Productions oltre a collaborazioni con Bridge Publications e ASI (Author Services Inc.) Il suo è un racconto dettagliato della vita di staff e mostra la schizofrenia delle decine e decine di organizzazioni Scientology, la loro farraginosa burocrazia, il complicato organigramma. Parla dell'indifferenza verso il vero merito del lavoro svolto, della follia delle "statistiche", di come venga premiata l'obbedienza piuttosto che la creatività e il buon senso, spesso messo da parte per compiacere i capi di turno. E di come, in definitiva, a vincere sia sempre l'ottusità, in quello che dovrebbe invece essere il regno per eccellenza della razionalità (caratteristica dell'Essere "chiarito" con la "tecnologia" di Hubbard) e dell'intelligenza al suo massimo livello. Ciononostante quello di Hawkins è un racconto pacato e sereno che non scade mai nel vittimismo, ma nemmeno nell'apologia. Con Hawkins si ripercorrono quattro decenni fondamentali per la storia della Chiesa di Scientology: gli anni della costituzione della Sea Org come organizzazione veramente "del mare", imbarcata sulla piccola flotta privata del "Commodoro".

  • Bohemian Rhapsody
    8 Bohemian Rhapsody aul Haggis and Deborah Rennard married in 1997, soon after Paul’s divorce from Diane became nal. Paul was still seeking joint custody of his three daughters. Without Pconsulting him, Diane had taken Lauren and Katy out of the Delphi Academy, apparently intending to enroll them in public school. Paul and Diane were ordered by the court to undergo psychiatric evaluation, a procedure that Scientology abhors. In December 1998, the court surprised everyone by awarding Paul full custody of his daughters. According to court records, the ruling followed the discovery that the girls were not enrolled in school at all. The girls were stunned. They had watched the hostilities through Diane’s eyes. No one had prepared them for the possibility that they might be taken from her—until then, it had been the three girls and their mother against the world. The girls thought the decision was unbalanced and unfairly inuenced by the fact that their father had more money. Alissa vowed she would never speak to him again. Haggis was also caught short by the court’s decision. In addition to the year-old son, James, he had with Deborah, he suddenly had two teenage daughters on his hands as well. (Alissa was twenty-one at the time, and lived on her own.) The girls felt uprooted and they missed the emotional support of their mother. They didn’t resent Deborah; actually, they appreciated her advocacy and the way she balanced out Paul. Still, it was a difficult adjustment for everyone. Paul put the girls in a private school, but that lasted only six months.

Before the 2008 elections, a staff member at Scientology’s San Diego church had signed its name to an online petition supporting Proposition 8, which asserted that the State of California should sanction marriage only “between a man and a woman.” The proposition passed. As Haggis Asked how high he got in Scientology’s saw it, the San Diego church’s “public sponsorship of levels of study, Haggis said, “All the way to Proposition 8, which succeeded in taking away the civil the top.” Photograph by Mary Ellen Mark. rights of gay and lesbian citizens of California—rights that were granted them by the Supreme Court of our state—is a stain on the integrity of our organization and a stain on us personally. Our public association with that hate-filled legislation shames us.” Haggis wrote, “Silence is consent, Tommy. I refuse to consent.” He concluded, “I hereby resign my membership in the Church of Scientology.” Haggis was prominent in both Scientology and Hollywood, two communities that often converge. Although he is less famous than certain other Scientologists, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, he had been in the organization for nearly thirty-five years.

Now, think of a cat. In Jenna's case, it was what she was born into and the only way of life she knew. Ron Hubbard was a Navy man and had a passion for naval traditions. Jenna makes the mistake of falling in love, and that is where Scientology is at its worst in combating basic human nature. But most religions seem that way to people of different religions or people of no religions at all - that's right, you all look weird to meright, so who are any of us to judge? Her memoir will fill you in on the details of Scientology's operations and what it's like to be a Scientologist, and should scare off anyone even remotely considering treating this cult as a legitimate religion or a place to find answers. Second: the remaining hardcore "faithful" are basically the children and grandchildren of Scientologists who grew up in the "church" and have never known anything else.
