			<description><![CDATA[Excellent article. I did experience a fair amount of suppression while working at org level between 88 and 2000. Your article above along with the numerous other ones on this site and others provide information which was more or less invisible at lower levels. Articles such as yours here are truely invaluable to Scientologists outside the perimiter of upper management. My own experiences from org level were mostly in the form of receiving clearly off policy programs and orders which I found myself repeatedly writing reports up lines to correct. The result was that I increasingly became a target to be made to conform. In mid 99 I informed HCO I would not be resigning a contract which was to expire in a few months I was promply ordered to CLOWUS for "handling" . After my "handling" including HCO sec checks by RTC rep etc, I returned to my org was shuffled off staff lines and declared SP in Jan 2000. At the time it all seemed very strange as I was an OEC/DSEC grad from ITO in early 90s and the points I was writing up and in disagreement with were clearly off source and not just some minor point in one policy but points covered in dozens of policy letters . Yet here I'm being accused of being off source.And the materials in question were being issued by RTC. I had no idea that all of what is written or spoken on this and other related sites was going on but I knew for sure there was something seriously amiss at the top. I have found great relief in getting the information such as your above article as it fills the vacuum of ommitted facts which makes the prior events understandable. RTC has clearly grossly violated its very own purpose and functions, as covered in great detail in its own published booklet. And in that throughout this time David Miscaviage has claimed overall control of RTC then it is clearly his failure to wear the hat he had by his own published booklet. He has intentionally or unintentionally acted in ways which have been destroying the Church of Scientology, along with it's various staffs and parishioners.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello Jose, Excellent post and spot on. I, for one, do not doubt your gains from the original Bridge. My own personal Bridge should have ended with Power/Power Plus (c.1976). It was de facto the EP of Scientology for me. But I was too addicted to the group think and didn't get out until 1983. Everything after that, up to "New OT V" and including R6EW and CC was overrun. And yes, results are always subjective. So what? "If it's true for you..." Best regards, John Harry Watson]]></description>

			<title>My Scientology experiences - in part</title>
			<link>http://www.scientology-cult.com/message-to-ots.html#comment-1983</link>
			<description><![CDATA[One thing I have noticed in the COS controversy, in all it's aspects, is this - the tenets and beliefs of the religion of Scientology are condemned along with the management (i.e.: Sea Org) of the COS. They are two different things. The tenets, beliefs and religious technology, as originally written and used by LRH and the original Dianetics and Scientology organizations, did offer and deliver great potential benefits to individuals and to mankind. In spite of the lies perpetrated by LRH himself, and in spite of his gradual mental deterioration prior to his death, he did manage to create a very useful technology that can produce [censored]enomenal results (I am referring to the original work of LRH, not to the perverted forms attributed to him over the last 30 or so years.). I began services in Scientology in 1970. I completed 'The Bridge' as it was originally created and I have achieved personal spiritual freedom as a result. However, management in the Sea Org has, over the years, gradually become more and more insular, paranoid, and abusive. Though the Sea Org holds the 'legal rights' to Scientology, the management members of the Sea Org are not, in fact, true Scientologists. The organization was taken over by David Miscavige in a coup either sometime before (which I suspect) or shortly after LRH's death. LRH had turned the reins of the church over to Pat Broeker and his wife. Somehow, David Miscavige intimidated them into relinquishing the reins to him. The true intentions of David (and perhaps of others working with him) are to pervert the religion of Scientology, using it only to control anyone who enters into the church either as a parishioner or staff and to suppress anyone who questions or objects to the pervasive perversion he has perpetrated on the tenets of the church. I was a member of the Sea Org from 1974 through 1984. During that time I observed the Sea Org deteriorate internally as the upper management gradually became more and more insular and paranoid. This manifested itself internally by growing suspicion of the Sea Org's own members intentions and actions - as well as those of Scientologists who were not Sea Org staff. It has also been manifested in the misuse, misapplication and outright alteration of the Scientology religious technology. As a result, most of the best and brightest of Scientology have left of their own accord or have been excommunicated (declared suppressive) or have been imprisoned within the Sea Org's Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), which is, in fact, very similar to the political prisons of the former USSR. Those who are strong enough end up having to leave the church and those who are weak become nothing more than robotic pawns under the control of the paranoid psychopaths who are currently running the church. I, once one of the best and brightest of the church, was imprisoned on the RPF three times. I was finally 'fitness boarded' (a board of staff peers convened to determine the fitness of an individual to remain on staff) out of the Sea Org, much to my relief, in 1984. I believe that the only way to salvage the church is to: 1.	Rid it of the Sea Org in its entirety, including all individuals who have participated in the outright perversions of the religious, ethics and management technologies of the church, 2.	Restore management as originally created to the individual churches as well as to overall church management, 3.	Destroy all technological and management documents not written personally by LRH prior to his mental deterioration, 4.	Create an autonomous ethics/justice system within the church that is not answerable to management, and 5.	Begin delivering Scientology services to groups and individuals as they were originally intended. Only then will the COS again be a viable asset to society and to mankind. I am sure that LRH had mental problems long before they manifested to the point that the parishioners began to be affected personally by his insanities. I am also sure that there were lies all along and abuses all along. Perhaps those of you who experienced Scn 40 + years ago will understand what I mean when I say that many of the parishioners during that time, in spite of any craziness going on behind the scene, were able to improve themselves by using or receiving many of the services being offered at the time. As I was not involved nor aware of the upper management, whatever craziness that was going on there was not apparent to those of us receiving services at Scn missions or orgs. The original 'Grade Chart', which I completed, ended at OTVII. The OT levels of that chart from OTIV thru OTVII are no longer part of the current chart. Fortunately, I was not subject to later changes, such as NOTS, the L Rundowns and the revised levels of OTIV thru VII (Which are not in any way similar to the originals.). I personally believe that the chart was changed when it became apparent that those who successfully completed the original chart no longer wanted further services because they had attained a state of awareness, ability and personal certainty of themselves as spiritual beings, and there was nothing more that the church could offer them. By the time the chart was revised the church was already in the throes of insane management that was desperate to hang on to parishioners who no longer needed services. The stated reason for the changes to the chart was that 'the gradient of the original chart was too steep for parishioners to truly attain the benefits of each level above OTIII, so it needs to be altered to create a more gradual gradient to Full OT'. This was not true - I knew of many who had received the full benefits of the original chart. OTVII on the original chart was also called "Full OT VII" (Which meant that a being attaining this level had arrived at a point where he/she could further expand their abilities and awareness on their own, without the assistance of the church. They were no longer 'trapped in the [censored]ysical universe'.) I know that many commenters doubt the veracity of my statements regarding having attained a higher level of consciousness and spiritual awareness as a result of receiving earlier Scn services. To them I can only say that results from any spiritual pursuit, whatever form it may take, are always subjective, not objective. It worked for me, I did get what I hoped to get and the benefits have been with me ever since. This does not mean to say that this is or would be true for someone else.]]></description>

			<title>The Miscavage solution</title>
			<link>http://www.scientology-cult.com/message-to-ots.html#comment-536</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The way to remove Miscavage is to sue CRT. It is charged with copyright protection and the posting of Miscavage. Suing them on the basis that RTC-Miscavage is not performing their legally described duties regarding the tech and copyrights. Policy and technical violations are the evidence of which there is much. This forces CRT upon successful suit to act and replace miscavage. He doesn't hold the position he has with impunity. There is a legal process to remove him and it is not suing the church but the organization senior to RTC which is the CRT.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your post. You said after 22 years you doubt Scientology even works. I know many Scientologists share that view. But the fact is no one can get gains while connected to a suppressive person. DM and his goons (suppressive group) have thereby unmocked the case gain of thousands of Scientologists around the world. Scientology is rife with Miscavige's out-tech such as lengthy six-month checks which violated the No-Interference Zone policy letter, installing video cameras into all auditing rooms to create an unsafe environment, using pc folder data to silence critics, redefinition of what constitutes an "instant read" and a "floating needle," incorrect implementation of Golden Age of Tech drills, pushing quickie grades (Tech Degrade), interrupting students on course for reg interviews (suppressive act per Courses, Their Ideal Scene), invalidation of all Class VIIIs even those trained by Ron, replacing Expanded Grades with old Quad Grades, replacing Academy Courses with extension courses (which LRH forbid from the Academy). Couple all this with continuous incorrect ethics condition assignments, forcing public to buy books as crazy "amends" and much more, it explains why so many Scientologists have moved up the OT levels, gotten sick and died. And if you think this list is horrendous, wait till you see more revelations soon to come. My point is, after 22 years of squirrel Scientology from David Miscavige it's no wonder you doubt if the tech even works.]]></description>

			<title>My thanks</title>

			<description><![CDATA[I give my thanks to all of you that have started blogs, sites, and spoken out. I unfortunately have not had the courage to do so until recently - but I am still reluctant to give too much info. 22 years I have; - slowly witnessed the degrade of Scientology degraded so much now I doubt any of it really works. That is not to say those who have obtained higher levels haven't done so out of their own pure determination and keeping their own integrity. - Of watching KSW not being applied. policy not being followed, altered, or ignored. Tech being degraded through change or being ignored. - Of being made wrong for any attempt on my part to correct it. - Of hoping that it would all work out for the best. Recently coming to the conclusion "the wrong thing to do is nothing" it is time that I did speak out, but to what extent, and how can I protect myself from CoS, OSA, black PR, and information given in "o/w write ups, sec checks, and sessions" being used against me. My experiences haven't been as far reaching in CoS as many have so I do not want to detract from what they have to say or expose. I am just a lost Scientologist not knowing what to believe or where to turn. Again my thanks to those who have spoken out (it is helping me to find my way). All the best to all Fragmented]]></description>

			<title>Creating ARC with a Free Zone</title>
			<link>http://www.scientology-cult.com/message-to-ots.html#comment-409</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Dear T Paine & friends! As much as I understand and appreciate a necessity of your fight to defend Scientology that is been abused by the Church of $, I see my way to contribute to KSW in increasing a general public ARC with a Free Zone Scientology field. There is way too much entheta spread about Scientology. So I believe what is needed and wanted is creation of theta website, containing the positive, constructive data on Scientology [censored]iloso[censored]y and it's history, introducing FZ Scientologists, Scientology technology and it's application. I am Russian and hardly can really write in English, but I am working on finding and collecting such articles and especially video-interviews on the web, to publish them on the [censored]://www.freezone-tech.info and translating into Russian. I understand that you are playing a different game, but I'll be most grateful if you let me copy some of your website articles, or if you even find it possible to suggest some links to positive video- and written data for my site. Thank you for all you are doing! Sincerely, Tatiana Baklanova, Scientologist.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I left in the mid 80's also. I'd had all I could take, the endless "madatory" meetings and the feeling that something very evil was coming from uplines. Man, I survived even Dean Stokes mission but that sit in LA when David "Missedwithold" took over was unbearable. It is a HUGE sense of loss, and I know exactly what you mean about losing your friends, it's devastating. They really are the finest. That has been so long ago I doubt I'll ever find many of them. Is there a site or something where old and dear friends can reconnect?]]></description>

			<title>What is being done...</title>
			<link>http://www.scientology-cult.com/message-to-ots.html#comment-341</link>
			<description><![CDATA[That is a very funny question... "what's being done..." :-) Through this website, Marty's blog, Geir's, Rebel008, KSW.com, and MANY more; through media such as the St Petersburg Times, and MANY more; through people like yourself who are writing comments; through books being published like Mark Headley's "Behind the Iron Curtain"; through OTs and auditors who have declared their independence from the Church; through hundreds of people who are coming to the realization that we don't have to follow suppressive orders such as disconnection and they are taking their friends and family BACK; through millions of people who wouldn't even THINK of ever listening to anything David Miscavige had to say; your own 4th dynamic is turning to deal with a certain 3rd dynamic which has been driven far off it's correct purpose. In the pages of this website and others mentioned and not mentioned, we are exposing a conspiracy led by David Miscavige; we are pulling 3rd dynamic withholds and auditing the group back toward sanity; we are establishing transparency and accountability; we're handling the "Why" and the "Who"; we're getting ethics IN; we're putting the dynamics into communication; we're handling the lies and untruths that have been spread; we are dealing with injustice; we're lessening Miscavige's power to discredit whistle blowers with his lies; we're making it safe for people to be Scientologists outside the avarice and corruption and mafia tactics and psychological warfare waged incessantly by the Church; and we're making it possible for people at all levels regain a measure of peace; and we are putting the wheels of justice into motion. Because David Miscavige may think he's tough... tyrants always do. He may think he's above the law. Tyrants always do. He may shake and spit in fury. Tyrants always do. But to date, no tyrant in history has been able to stand for long when the entire 4th Dynamic turns on him and says, ENOUGH! What is being done? We are mobilizing the world. You've already found the group. Keep reading.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What is being done? My 3 years in Scientology does not give the insight it takes to see through the truth of the accusations against the Church of Scientology and especially DM. I am amazed how many people like myself opt out of the Church of Scientology but still recognize LRH tech and call themselves Scientologists. After reading heavily on the topic over the last two days my primary thoughts are as follows. As true Scientologists we must surely have a responsibility to protect LRH tech against abuse, modifications, misinterpretation and bring the Church of Scientology back on track. Simply by us as a group demands investigation of the organization and perform the appropriate conditions on the posts and people responsible for them, including DM. And do all this in honor of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard's name as a true Scientologists. There should be enough of us out there to unit and take actions. Perhaps all this is already happening and I just have not seen the light but then I'll hope that someone can guide me to the group. /pc]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Having been "unofficially resigned" from the church for 6-8 mos or so...I am still considered by friends to be part of the group, but I see that I will need to get ready to speak up. I personally do not have any horrid experiences of abuse, but did quietly slip away from the confines of the church over the past several years. I've never felt more free and able to look from the outside in at what had been my life as a dedicated Scientologist for 35 years. It had no longer become spiritual and fun, but arduous and with constant pressure to be responsible for every man, woman, and child on the planet 24 hours a day. I completely lost interest in study at the release of the Golden Age of Tech...so threw myself into third dynamic activities. I have much respect for the wonderful friends and Scientologists that are involved and hope they will see the light of day and begin to think for themselves again as I have. It is a difficult process to unravel oneself from the group think. Am still a Scientologist, but feel that to be involved with the church is to be swept up in a frantic frenzy which is spinning out of control. Look at all of the people that are leaving...and I know that there are others like me who are just not active and hanging in there until we have the guts to reveal who we are. Thanks to all of you who have come forward on this site and others to expose DM for who he is, and to reveal the activities that are perversions of the true intentions originally laid out by LRH.]]></description>

			<title>Have to get this off my chest</title>
			<link>http://www.scientology-cult.com/message-to-ots.html#comment-193</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Thank you all for being so brave to confront this evil that is happening to our group. Our church. I sway between a tremendous feeling of loss and an anger that is so deep I wonder what it will bring about in me. Should I risk the damage to my dynamics? Will it all come out eventually? What will happen if DM is arrested? It is going to happen you know. So many of my friends are Sea Org. They are of the finest cloth. These are the selfless people who care more about mankind than themselves. Truly. Many have been caught up in the valence of the SP. There are many examples of this in history. If it were not so classic a case of an SP.... How did so many of us miss this for so long? Being a veteran Class IV staff member I was on the front lines from the mid eighties. I am about ready to tell my story with some trepidation. We must get rid of this SP (DM). We must. However, our church must also survive and we have to have a plan to keep LRH's good name and the tech in tact. ML]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I left the Church in about 1978, I was studying a professional auditing course that I was not allowed to complete. Hence, I am not one of your OT's. But I used to be GP,and I came here just to check out this thing that came to be known as Scientology. I have proven to myself that it is real, but that it is hopelessly degraded, that David MisCavage is a real SP, and that staff are too fearful to do their jobs. Probably the only thing that is degraded about Scientology is that staff are too fearful to do their jobs properly, and that may be due to MisCavage. If you are afraid of loosing your Bridge to MisCavage, you already have lost it.]]></description>
