Protesters

Hi there, sorry for the loooooong delay. I've been incredibly busy with college work and have been unable to post for some time.

That said, let's talk about some of the protests against the Church of Scientology.

The first person to make a strong move against Scientology was Paulette Cooper. In 1971, she wrote a book titled "The Scandal of Scientology". In it, the book described the Sea Org, L. Ron Hubbard, and many other Scientology-related things. All good, right? The church respected her right to free speech, right? Sadly, that was not the case. Members of the Guardian's Office (later renamed to Office of Special Affairs, better known as OSA) framed Ms. Cooper with a bomb threat. L. Ron Hubbard dubbed the move "Operation Freakout". You can see the original order from Hubbard here-http://www.holysmoke.org/pc/pcof1.htm

The next big protester of the "Church" was Mark Bunker, better known on his YouTube channel as "Wise Beard Man". Mark has been an avid Scientology protester since 1997, and has done much to enturbulate (a Hubbard word which means "to annoy") Scientologists in the past. In 1999, he created the site xenutv.com. where he posted (and still posts) scientology-related videos. One of his more famous videos shows Mark filming a Scientology 4th of July festival, full of 'handlers'. or people in the "Church" who go out on orders and try to provoke the annoying person to anger, thus getting them arrested.



This video is a great example of how the "Church" will do anything to get rid of its critics.

I could go on down a whole list of Scientology critics, but the one most people have been hearing about lately is the collective of Anonymous. Now, Anonymous started on imageboards such as 4chan.org(Warning: Has adult content), and they developed a reputation as sort of "The pranksters of the internet". There is no doubt that some in Anonymous have done morally reprehensible actions, such as taking down websites, but Anonymous isn't a centralized group. Heck, they're not a group at all. I encourage you, however, to do the research and come to your own conclusion.

A large number of Anonymous have decided to protest the Church of Scientology, but many on 4chan have said it is too moral and righteous for them. Anonymous has held 7 monthly protests and various smaller protests throughout the year. If you'd like to join in a protest near you, go to enturbulation.org.

Fair Game

I've written a bit about the Fair Game policy in my first blog post. In fact, Fair Game is one of the reasons I got involved in fighting Scientology (peacefully, of course.) Fair game is plain and simply suppression of free speech (see my first blog post for the original order.) Hubbard even said "A truly Suppressive Person (SP) or group has no rights of any kind and actions taken against them are not punishable." So if you publicly speak out against Scientology, even on the Internet, you are an SP, and thus you have no rights, according to Scientologists. Why? Because if you start convincing Scientologists "Hey, what you're involved in, it only scams you out of your money and hurts families!", that means less money for Scientology. And, like any business, Scientology can't survive without money. So, in Layman's Terms, SPs=less money for Scientology, which is precisely why Anonymous has been so successful. I'm an SP, so I have no rights and am subject to Fair Game, whether by Internet, phone calls, or "Cease and Desist" letters, which Scientology is so famous for sending. If you happen to get one of these letters, first of all, congratulations! You have caught the attention of Scientology, and that is something to be proud of. Second of all, ignore what the letter says about illegal activities, unless, of course, you have commited any. I haven't gotten one of these yet, but if I did, I would frame it and hang it up on the wall. Scientology's intimidation tactics are not new, and have been around since days of Paulette Cooper, who published a book against Scientology and was framed by the Guardian's Office (OSA) for trying to plant bombs in a Scientology office. Do you think Scientology would really go that far today? Well, not quite, but do you recall the "Harassing phone calls" and "Bomb threats" against Scientology orgs? Well the FBI has announced that there is no connection between Anonymous and the harassment.

Of course, the FBI has always been plotting against Scientology, right?

That is all.

Disconnection

Hi everyone, sorry for the delayed blog, my internet has been acting weird, and I finally got it fixed.

Anyway, the subject this week is the policy of the Church of Scientology called 'Disconnection.' As shown in my previous post, Disconnection is a policy that states that people who the Church deems an enemy or potential enemy is to sever communication with their Scientologist family. But the 'Church' denies these claims, saying Disconnection is not enforced. However, Disconnection is indeed a policy of the 'Church', used to coerce members of Scientologist families to 'handle' their 'suppressive' family member. Take Jenna Miscavige Hill for example. Her parents left the Church in 2000, but she stayed in untill 2005. During that time she said she said she was only allowed to see her parents once a year. Also, during that time she was subject to a bizzarre daily regimen, such as,

"If you flunked your uniform inspection, sometimes if you were late . . . you would be dumped with a five-gallon bucket of ice water"

Bizzarre indeed. Can someone name any other religion that currently has a similar policy? Once again, Scientology is caught in a web of their own lies. Disconnection ruins families, destroys lives, and goes beyond what any human being should have to go through.

Preview: Next Week

Next week we will discuss the effects of the infamous Disconnection policy that the Church of Scientology uses. The disconnection policy as stated in the Hubbard Communication Office Bulliten:

A Scientologist can become PTS by reason of being connected to someone that is
antagonistic to Scientology or its tenets. In order to resolve the PTS
condition, he either HANDLES the other person's antagonism (as covered in the
materials on PTS handling) or, as a last resort when all attempts to handle have
failed, he disconnects from the person. He is simply exercising his right to
communicate or not to communicate with a particular person.-L. Ron Hubbard, 9/10/83

In essence, it seperates anyone who the CoS feels is an antagonist to
Scientology from said person or family. For example: Say Jane Doe is a Scientologist, but John Doe isn't too cool with Scientology and even urged her to leave. If John didn't stop, he would be 'disconnected', or seperated from Jane. We'll get more in-depth about this next week, but for now, go to these websites for more information:

Tell Your Story!

My blog is in need of testimony from people who have first-hand experience with the 'church', so feel free to give your testimony in the comments box. If you wish, you can be kept anonymous as well. I have plenty of testimony from people such as Tory Christman, but if you want your story to be heard, go for it!

Thanks,
