  • The World's First Clear Presentation: When
    $ The Journal of CESNUR $ The World’s First Clear Presentation: When Hubbard Met Sonya Bianchi at the Shrine Auditorium Ian C. Camacho Independent Scholar [email protected] ABSTRACT: On August 10, 1950, L. Ron Hubbard presented to a crowd of 6,000 in Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium the first “clear” in the history of Dianetics, a college student called Sonya Bianchi. Anti-Scientology literature insists that the event was a fiasco, Bianchi behaved strangely, and the crowd left ridiculing Hubbard. This tale has been passed from one Scientology critic to another. However, it is not supported by contemporary evidence, from which the opposite conclusion may be reached. The event at the Shrine Auditorium was successful, and in the following weeks the sales of Dianetics and the interest in Hubbard’s theories continued to grow. KEYWORDS: Ann Singer, Arthur Jean Cox, Cy Endfield, Dianetics, Fake News, Forrest J. Ackerman, L. Ron Hubbard, Richard de Mille, Scientology, Shrine Auditorium, Sonya Bianchi. Introduction The first Dianetic Clear was not Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard (1911– 1986), but a college student named Sonya Bianchi (b. 1926)—sometimes called Sonia Bianca, Sonja Bianca or Ann Singer—whom he presented to 6,000 people at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium on August 10, 1950. Two years later, skeptic Martin Gardner (1914–2010) published a portrayal of the event as one where people interrupted, laughed and left (Gardner 1957, 270–72). Several others would repeat and expand on Gardner’s claims, such as George Malko and Russell Miller (Malko 1970, 56; Miller 1987, 163–66 and 378).

  • Disconnection in Scientology: a “Unique” Policy?
    $ The Journal of CESNUR $ Disconnection in Scientology: A “Unique” Policy? Massimo Introvigne CESNUR (Center for Studies on New Religions) [email protected] ABSTRACT: In the 1960s, L. Ron Hubbard identified a main obstacle in the progress of Scientology in the Suppressive Persons (SPs), i.e. hostile apostate ex-members and other aggressive critics. He labeled Scientologists in regular touch with SPs as “Potential Trouble Sources” (PTS) and elaborated a series of practices for solving the problem. The most controversial was “disconnection,” i.e. the suggestion that PTS cut all ties and communication with SPs, even when the latter were their spouses or relatives. Disconnection as a policy was discontinued in 1968, but reinstated between 1973 and 1983. Contrary to frequent claims by critics, Scientology’s disconnection is not a unique practice, and in fact finds parallels in the treatment of apostates and excommunicated and disassociated members in most old and new religions. KEYWORDS: Scientology, Disconnection, Suppressive Persons, Potential Trouble Sources, Apostates. Hubbard and the Notion of Suppressive Persons The sources of the practice of disconnection in Scientology date back to the 1960s, when L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986) proposed a number of reflections on what was making the progress of Scientology more difficult than he expected. As all newly established religions, Scientology encountered external opposition from a variety of sources. Hubbard singled out these opponents who consciously tried to suppress Scientology and labeled them as “suppressive persons” (SPs): 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 (Hubbard 1965b, 552).

The newly restored Fort Harrison regularly hosts functions for other charitable organizations; public are welcomed for tours Journalism and Church staff work hard to invite questions and provide an open response. Juxtaposed with the day-to-day reality of friends, neighbors and workmates who are Scientologists, the hysteria of the Times’ stereotypes has become self-evident. A full and objective review of the recent allegations the Times presented to the Church from four ex-Scientologists evidences both the lack of credibility and sinister motives of these sources— people who will say anything to attack their former faith. • The same false allegations have been posted on the “grassy knoll” of the Internet by avowed Scientologist-haters for years. • Even though first-person accounts from dozens of eyewitnesses demolished the fabrications presented by the Times’ sources, reporters Joe Childs and Tom Tobin refused to hear from those eyewitnesses. • The Church provided an unprecedented amount of documented evidence and detailed accounts proving the sources had lied. • The Church also provided detailed evidence regarding the motives of these four apostates to lie about the religion and St. Petersburg Times building at 490 First Avenue South in St.
