			<description><![CDATA[I would like to tell you that I have found David MisCavage, but that would be premature.I have found where to look for him. David is below death on the tone scale. Ron mentioned INVERSIONS of the tone scale, but I don't remember reading about inversions in the training materials of the church. Basicially, by inversion, I mean a mirror image of the tone scale. To handle something, you need to confront it, but you really can't confront it if you can't find it. To find David MisCavage, look at an inversion (mirror image) of the tone scale.(and remember, he is an OT, so don't expect him to be stuck on the tone scale). This is not meant as an invalidation of David MisCavage, but we really do have a situation that needs handling.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for writing the above and for the website. For me it rekindled a lot of my early intentions (scientologist since 1962, left the church 'officially' after LRH died)when I first contacted and started applying scientology. What works, works. For me (most of) the early tech worked like a swiss watch. When "red on white" tech bulletins started becoming "beige on white", I knew we were in big trouble. "Keeping Scientology Working" was thrown out the window. I never fully understood why in the current major portion of criticism of scientology one sees attacks on the tech along with the church, until I read the section above, "Critics of Scientology". Thanks for that too. John McMaster - not HSS VI OT VI]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great post, Steve and one I wholeheartedly agree with. I've been out of the Cult of Miscavology for over a year now and I'd be still in there if it weren't for many earlier critics who braved the unknown and published what they'd experienced or found regardless of the (sometimes terrible) consequences. Without the Net, they were lone voices crying in the wilderness. But they kept going because it was what they had as their personal integrity. For those of us who've witnessed the miracles that can occur from even something as simple as an assist, we do need to keep pushing the message that "it isn't all bad - there is a different side than the one you have been told." Too many have only heard one side - and that includes those in as well as those criticizing. It's time to be different and apply that Personal Integrity - thank you again for doing that so eloquently, Steve.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[These are interesting observations, Steve. I'm especially glad you acknowledged David Mayo, who is a kind-hearted and decent fellow -- wherever he might be laying low now. You can expect some interesting developments on the religion front beginning October 27, when the verdict is due in the current French fraud trial. That case has been covered in English by a Brit journalist named Jonny Jacobsen as part of his research on a book. His blog is well worth reading. http://infinitecomplacency.blogspot.com/2009/05/20-scientology-on-trial-in-france.html (That's the introduction to 31 more articles and counting; see The Paris Trial links starting about midway down in the right column.) In this trial, the prosecution initially sought to dissolve (legally shut down) Scientology in France as a criminal organization. Shortly before the trial began, however, a rewording of the law was mysteriously slipped through under the guise of "simplification" that eliminated that possibility. But no matter; the judge can still order that the organization cease to operate for five years; or that it cease using the OCA personality test, delivering the Purification Rundown, and using the e-meter for psychological evaluation. Those three prohibitions alone would mean that Scientology can't operate per policy. There have been a few suicides in France by people who were financially ruined or cruelly disheartened. Last year, there was a scandal regarding a woman whose brother, an OT and medical doctor, kidnapped her for an Introspection Rundown that was as badly delivered as Lisa McPherson's. Fortunately she was rescued by the police. These tragedies are underscored by the fact that Scientology is not recognized as a religion, and that no religion is allowed to dispense or interfere with medical treatment anyway. That goes for Christian Science and the Jehovah's Witnesses, too. There have been similar problems with the Purif in Russia. What it comes down to is that "freedom of religion" in some countries does not give an organization absolute license to extort money, practice medical quackery and engage in political manipulation as it pretty much does in the United States. If you think Scientology has a bad reputation there, check out the rest of the world.]]></description>
