Uncovering the Anti-Queer Sentiment in the Dianetic Perspective At present, there is a groundswell of public sensational interest in the subject of Scientology; and, in fact, in the time since I began this research paper, a nine-episode documentary series has premiered and reached finale on A&E titled “Scientology and the Aftermath”— a personal project hosted by sitcom celebrity, ex-Scientologist, and author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini.1 I could not begin to enumerate the myriad exposés/memoirs of ex-Scientologists that have been published in recent years nor could I emphasize enough the rampant conspiracy theories that are at the disposal of any curious mind on what many have termed “the cult” of Scientology.

  • About L. Ron Hubbard
    Chap 11.book Page 1 Friday, September 14, 2001 7:48 PM SCIENTOLOGY Making the World a Better Place Founded and developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is an applied religious philosophy which offers an exact route through which anyone can regain the truth and simplicity of his spiritual self. Scientology consists of specific axioms that define the underlying causes and principles of existence and a vast area of observations in the humanities, a philosophic body that literally applies to the entirety of life. This broad body of knowledge resulted in two applications of the subject: first, a technology for man to increase his spiritual awareness and attain the freedom sought by many great philosophic teachings; and, second, a great number of fundamental principles men can use to improve their lives. In fact, in this second application, Scientology offers nothing less than practical methods to better every aspect of our existence—means to create new ways of life. And from this comes the subject matter you are about to read. Compiled from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the data presented here is but one of the tools which can be found in The Scientology Handbook. A comprehensive guide, the handbook contains numerous applications of Scientology which can be used to improve many other areas of life. In this booklet, the editors have augmented the data with a short introduction, practical exercises and examples of successful application. Courses to increase your understanding and further materials to broaden your knowledge are available at your nearest Scientology church or mission. Listings are available at www.scientology.org.

  • Re: Church of Scientology When We Last Met on 20 April You Noted That
    195 Re: Church of Scientology When we last met on 20 April you noted that you had seen press releases about two recent court cases in Germany involving Churches of Scientology located there. Apparently, these press reports indicated that the two court decisions ruled that Scientology is not a religion. You asked for our comments on the two decisions. One such court decision involves the appliqability -ofetreade- registration laws to the Church of Scientology -of Hamle4r4,e This decision simply holds that the Church, because-of its activities; was required to comply with the relevant trade registration laws whether or not the organisation in question happens to bo a church or another religious organisation. Thus, this decision does not rele on Scientology's religiosity; to the contrary, - ,it proceeds from the assumption that Scientology is a religion. A copy of this decision, in both original German and Emglieh translation, is attached as Exhibit 1. It is impossible to analyze the other,00urt deciSion at this time, however, since as yet we have only t_he: Press - rele40 And no written decision has been issued. The generAleconteXt'of this case involved the applicability of certainjabour Yaws tO the Church of Scientology of Hamburg. It may well be that the written decision, once released, will be the same as the first Hamburg case -- a determination that the relevant laws apply CORRESPONDENT OFFICES: LONDON. PARIS AND BRUSSELS irrespective of the religious nature of the organisation in question. On the other hand, the language of the press release suggests the appellate court in fact may have evaluated the religious character of Scientology based on independent readings of Scientology Scripture that the judges may have undertaken on their own initiative and reached a negative conclusion.

"Ab jetzt," sagte er zu mir mit der unbewegten Miene, dem starren Blick und der monotoner Stimme aller guten Scientology Auditoren, "werden Sie in Ihrem Zimmer eingeschlossen bleiben. Eine Wache wird ständig vor Ihrem Zimmer aufgestellt sein. Sie dürfen ihr Zimmer unter keinen Umständen verlassen. Ihre Mahlzeiten werden Ihnen gebracht werden. Haben Sie verstanden?" Ich war sprachlos. Ich wurde bestraft. Aber wofür? Ich schaute zu ihm auf. "Was habe ich falsch gemacht?" stotterte ich. Aber er würde es mir nicht erzählen. "Wir tun das aus Sicherheitsgründen für die Org (Organisation)," antwortete er. "Das ist alles, was ich Ihnen dazu sagen kann. Sie können jetzt gehen." Aus dem Nichts tauchte ein junges Mädchen an meiner Seite auf. "Dana," befahl ihr der D of P (Director für Processing), "Würden Sie bitte Frau Wakefield zu ihrem Zimmer eskortieren. Jetzt." Ich war entlassen. Ich saß auf meinem Bett und versuchte zu verstehen. Zuerst wagte ich noch zu hoffen. "Über den Regenbogen," dachte ich.

The Organisations of Scientology Epilogue Appendix Acknowledgements Plates (from the 1971 Neville Spearman edition, SBN 85435 061 6) The author's experience of Scientology stretches over a period of 14 years from when it was a little known and interesting form of psychotherapy, to September 1968 when he was declared an S.P. (Suppressive Person). This meant that he was considered 'Fair Game'. As Sir Elwyn Jones Q.C. said in the recent Scientology libel case, S.Ps. 'could be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist. He could be tricked, sued or lied to, or destroyed.' The direct cause of this action was the breakdown of the author's marriage and separation of his children. Mr. Vosper, who was a senior official at the Scientology H.Q. at Saint Hill, East Grinstead, Sussex, believes that it is time for a close and accurate inspection of Scientology so that people know the full facts before they consider joining it.

  • Replaces HCO Policy Letter of 7 March 1965, Issue I
    HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 23 DECEMBER 1965 (Replaces HCO Policy Letter of 7 March 1965, Issue I. This was originally misdated as 1 March 1965) Gen Non-Remimeo Post Public Bulletin Board (HCO Division 1) ETHICS SUPPRESSIVE ACTS SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS THE FAIR GAME LAW Due to the extreme urgency of our mission I have worked to remove some of the fundamental barriers from our progress. The chief stumbling block, huge above all others, is the upset we have with POTENTIAL TROUBLE SOURCES and their relationship to Suppressive Persons or Groups. A POTENTIAL TROUBLE SOURCE is defined as a person who while active in Scientology or a pc yet remains connected to a person or group that is a Suppressive Person or Group. A SUPPRESSIVE PERSON or GROUP is one that actively seeks to suppress or damage Scientology or a Scientologist by Suppressive Acts. SUPPRESSIVE ACTS are acts calculated to impede or destroy Scientology or a Scientologist and which are listed at length in this policy letter. A Scientologist caught in the situation of being in Scientology while still connected with a Suppressive Person or Group is given a Present Time Problem of sufficient magnitude to prevent case gain, as only a PTP can halt progress of a case. Only ARC Breaks worsen it. To the PTP is added ARC Breaks with the Suppressive Person or Group. The result is no-gain or deterioration of a case by reason of the suppressive connection in the environment. Any Scientologist, in his own experience, can probably recall some such cases and their subsequent upset.

If you think you have problems with Scientology in England, you should see what's happening in the States. Here, they pass out their leaflets on the street corners of some of the most pukka neighbourhoods, urging innocent bystanders to try out Scientology. Those who have accepted the invitation have found themselves in one of their many dingy headquarters, listening to a dull lecture on Scientology, followed by a film of equal merit on its leader, L.

Those who didn't walk out then may have submitted to the American Personality Test (in England, it's the Oxford Capacity Analysis), probably not realising that the B.Scn, D.Scn, DD, and BA degrees of the girl who wrote the test stood for Bachelor of Scientology, Doctor of Scientology, and Doctor of Divinity in the "Church" of Scientology only.

  • Civil Rights Complaintjuly 4Th, 2015 in Accordance with the Florida Civil Rights Act in Section 760 of Florida Statutes There Is
    Civil Rights ComplaintJuly 4th, 2015 In accordance with the Florida Civil Rights Act in section 760 of Florida Statutes there is an obligation of the state of Florida to protect the interests of personal dignity and secure individuals against domestic strife and unrest. The statute requires the State to promote the interests, rights and privileges of individuals and is to be liberally construed to further general purposes. The Florida Civil Rights Act establishes and gives power to a Human Relations Commission to ensure fair treatment and mutual understanding and respect among all members of all economic, social, racial and religious groups to eliminate discrimination against and antagonism between religious groups and their members. ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke The events you are about to read about shares how the Church of Scientology located in Clearwater, Florida ripped my family and me apart because of extreme coercion and religious intolerance. This abuse continues today. The Church of Scientology through their deliberate actions, have abused my civil and constitutional rights. The Church of Scientology has continued to involuntarily force their members to submit to unconscionable tactics that create domestic strife and unrest. In addition the Church of Scientology actively interferes with my interstate trade and the practice of my religious beliefs. Therefore I file this complaint and ask for remedial action from the commission on my behalf to protect my rights of fair treatment and respect to eliminate the discrimination and antagonism created by The Church of Scientology to my family and me.

    Barowsky 1 Sophie Barowsky Professor Candland Political Logic & Persuasion 21 December 2017 Scientology: The Art of Cultic Persuasion Introduction The Church of Scientology remains one of the most controversial religious groups in the United States. Scientology was founded in 1954 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard (LRH) (Reitman, 2011). After writing Dianetics—a book discussing psychoanalytic techniques to purify the mind—L. Ron Hubbard established the Church of Scientology to apply the principles he created. Scientologists regard Dianetics as a scripture or holy text of sorts (Gibney, Vaurio, Wright, & Nevins, 2015). Following the death of LRH in 1986 a man named David Miscavige, who grew up in Scientology as a protégé of Hubbard’s, took over as the leader of the Church of Scientology (Lindsey, January 29, 1986; Gibney, Vaurio, Wright, & Nevins, 2015). One of Miscavige’s biggest accomplishments for the Church was the court win against the IRS providing religious tax exemption (Lewis 2015: 227). With its religious tax exempt status, the Church’s assets amass to billions of dollars, mainly due to their lavish buildings as well as the sheer amount of real estate they own (Reitman, 2011). Although the Church of Scientology was founded in the United States, Scientology has since spread to many other countries like England, Australia, and a number of European countries (Reitman, 2011). Scientology presents itself as “the study of knowledge” and truth-seeking through the use of technology developed by their founder LRH (n.d., What Is Scientology). The Church of Scientology is set up in a hierarchical Barowsky 2 structure with members working to reach the next level, eventually becoming “clear,” or fully aware and free from the “reactive” mind1; the highest level one can reach is OT VIII.
