Lori Hodgson had her son and daughter while (both still minors) sign billion year "Sea Org" contracts to "save the planet." These Sea org members live on a pittance, under slave labor and sleep deprivation, not allowed Annual Leave and barely a day off. It is a life of threats and escalating punishments. She was *Fair Gamed* by the Church for speaking out but has found her *Voice*. More and more media are interested in her story of a Mom trying to get back her kids from a "Church" enjoying 1st amendment privileges while it acts like an Organized crime mob.
To this day her Children have been manipulated by "Office of Special Affairs" to shun her and "Disconnect" from her. See previous videos from Lori on this Channel to catch up on her story.

Scientology Inc strictly monitors its flock. Various Volunteers act as "granny police" steadfastly watching who friends who and messaging them to disconnect from those who are not toeing the party line. This is accompanied by threats of "ELIGIBILITY" for services. Note that any money pre-paid is fiercely held on to even when there is no intention of giving further counseling.

Super Power has been promised since 1978... I  recently received a letter from Lauri Webster, the Chief fundraiser from Super Power. It was dated September 2013 with no specific date of the month. It begged for money for "Super Power."
The last paragraph said "I can't wait to see you at the Grand opening; when that ribbon drops, the world will forever change."
Do they even *believe* the stuff they write ?

Los Angeles

Superior Court Judge Ronald Sohigian today denied the Church of Scientology's motion for summary judgment in Laura DeCrescenzo’s lawsuit.

I have never *Ever* seen a judge view Sea Org life with such in-depth perception and understanding
.

Judge Sohigian :
6:45 pm

Sohigian: There is a foundation in this record in which there are triable issues of material fact concerning… plaintiff was, in effect, a child in this Scientology. She started out by volunteering at only six or seven years old — and there may be question whether that’s really volunteering when she’s so young. She got involved at 12 in Sea Org, she moved away from her family. She lived in the Scientology facility in Los Angeles. This Sea Org is evidently a kind of a missionary activity or an office for a propagation for the faith, or something like that. This leaving and going with this organization, at that time she was just about beginning junior high school student. What they got her to do was sign some kind of a paper saying she would work for them basically indefinitely. There’s a number on the paper, a billion years. And that’s when she was 12. When she was 25 she left. When she went into that organization, she didn’t communicate in the standard way with her parents and other family members. Her mail was opened. There was someone present when she communicated with her family members. They did this evidently to make sure she didn’t say anything negative about the organization. She has given testimony that she was apprehensive about whether she was going to be punished. Part of the training was that she wouldn’t say anything negative about the Sea Org or Scientology, and if she did do that, she’d be declared treasonous. Then she’d be given base duties, extra duty. She was also told that she had to report anything that came out of the family, statements or behaviors, that was contrary to Scientology…

6:49 pm

Sohigian: So here you have a 12-year-old youngster who didn’t regularly interact with her family. And she would have to undergo a “check,” apparently a set of interrogations. (He’s talking about a “sec-check.”) And there’s evidence that you sort of had to pass this test to be able to leave. And the persons that give this test have to be sure that you’re not going to leave permanently. So in this time, middle and late adolescence, there is evidence to show that she went a couple of years without seeing her parents. And this period of time elapsed because she wasn’t let out.

(Clearly, the judge was deeply impressed by Laura’s description of her life in the Sea Org. He’s trying to sound neutral about it, but he was evidently impressed by what she described and how the evidence supported her story.)

When she was in this Sea Org, she had to make out a questionnaire — a life history questionnaire. He goes through some questions…

6:53 pm

Sohigian is bringing up specifically the question about asking the Sea Org member to admit to homosexual acts and detail them. Yeah, great questionnaire, Scientology.

Now he’s talking about her incredible hours. And even when she wasn’t on the clock, she had to stay around the Scientology facilities, or go with an escort.

In 2001, she went to the RPF. He explains to the court reporter that it stands for “Rehabilitation Project Force.” Damn right, judge.

How her hours got even worse then, with lights out at 10:30. He’s relating it to his own days in the service! Wow.

6:56 pm

Sohigian talking about Laura’s sleep deprivation, and little time for hygiene or changing clothes.

Paid only 10 to 50 dollars a week. And during this time no formal schooling. She did take a high school proficiency exam. But didn’t get any other schooling.

She could not freely come and go. (He’s really taking his time. This has got to be torture for Deixler, et al.)

7:00 pm

Sohigian: She observed when people would escape, they would do a “drill” (a “blow drill”) that would rely on credit card records, etc. So if she tried to leave, she would be tracked down and brought back involuntarily.

Well, she did try to leave and was in essence detained. Then was watched 24 hours. Interrogated. And not just interrogation, but that she was told what to say.

During RPF, about three or four years, she left the facility fewer than 20 times. She did not have access to her identification or money. Never allowed to have more than 20 dollars on her. Her passport was locked up.

This means that the motion will go to a jury -- and this means that Laura DeCrescenzo’s can tell her horror story of how she entered the Sea Org as a young child and was forced to have an abortion as a young woman.

Joe Childs and Thomas Tobin of the Tampa Bay Times covered the Church of Scientology's forced abortions in a stunning video, a series of stories told by women who were in Sea Org and were forced to have abortions or face the harshly punitive consequences dished out by the Church:

Since the 1960s when the British Government implemented a ban on Scientologists entering the United Kingdom, Government after Government has investigated the darker side of Scientology Inc's dirty deeds. By this is meant the spying, the espionage, the infiltration, the malicious retaliation against any critic, whistle blower or writer/journalist or media person that exposes the *Church*. Not for one day did the *Church* mend its ways. Each decade got worse. And each decade its repute got worse as the Internet, Google and YouTube exploded on story after story of what depths of illegal activity Scientology Inc will engage in to protect its survival.

Former Church of Scientology member Brad Halsey sends a very public message to Scientologist Tom Cruise:

& 

Scientology Inc drives Management by punishment. While despising psychiatric pain/pleasure management, the "church" indulges in ABUSE, DOMINATION, THREATS, Kangaroo Courts of laughable "Justice" in at atmosphere of fear and snitching and "Knowledge Reports". This video depicts a few examples of ABUSE which OSA are well aware of and shrug off as the "culture" within.

There will be another 6 videos whistleblowing on "Office of Special Affairs", the re-incarnation of the notorious "Guardian's Office." This is the last one in the first 6 already on the Channel. Google "SP Hole Scientology" to find the Google page describing the atrocities.

The Vatican has called the "Church" of Scientology a demonic Religion. Baby slaughter is abhorred by Catholics. Scientology Inc considered babies a waste of time: 1) They cannot work like slaves 2) They need parenting taking adult time away from Church Business and production. I was witness to seeing the Church of Scientology's so-called "clergy" Sea Org Members forced to go to places like "Planned Parenthood" for free abortions for years. Policy changed in the last 2-3 years due to Internet outrage and Law suits.

Tony Ortega is covering Laura Decrescenzo's lawsuit against the Church of Scientology for, among other causes of action, the Church having forced her to get an abortion when she did not want to do so: http://tonyortega.org/2013/10/11/how-scientology-coerced-a-child-to-have-an-abortion-the-decrescenzo-files/
