Wow, Arnie, thanks. Please let me know more about this call. If it doesn't make sense to post the details on ESMB, please send me an e-mail (caroline[at]carolineletkeman.org).

You and Gerry have earned my respect the old fashioned way..

I know all of the real old guard suffered trauma in this war.
We built our reputations exposing $cientology's evils, while expressing gratitute and respect for those who dared to STAND against $cientology in the past, who also provided a shoulder, a beach head, upon which to stand to continue the quest, NOT by tearing down some fellow brother in arms in order to make our place at the table.

And It didn't make sense to post here, and I didn't take notes, frankly I was in a bit of shock... regretting that I had not more effectively addressed the destructive conduct of certain poseurs long ago,

The New York Times
Who Can Stand Up?
Editorial by Frank Rich
March 16, 1997
"Can anyone stand up to the Church of Scientology? "

Such was the plaintive question asked by The St. Petersburg Times in an editorial last week, and with good reason. The great American religious saga of the 1990's may be the rise to power of a church that has successfully brought the Internal Revenue Service, the State Department and much of the American press to heel even as it did an end-run around the courts.

As Douglas Frantz reported in The New York Times a week ago, Scientology in 1993 suddenly metamorphosed from a controversial and highly lucrative organization, with an extensive history of criminal activity in the 1970's, into a bonafide nonprofit religion -- at least as far as the U.S. Government was concerned. That's when the I.R.S. turned its back on 25 years of its own rulings and gave Scientology the tax-exempt legitimacy it had long craved. What made this decision startling was not only the I.R.S. 's contradiction of both itself and various court decisions on Scientology's tax status, but also the mysterious circumstances that brought on the about-face. Scientology's victory was set in motion in 1991 when two of its leaders dropped by the I.R.S. 's Washington headquarters unannounced and somehow secured an audience with the agency's then Commissioner, Fred Goldberg Jr. Continues here

Oh come now Terril, recent comment from the COS on L's? You mean comments from bitter defrocked apostate SPs.

F/N alteration smalteration. Sorry but that's not what Karen said (at least I don't interpret her statement as such.)

She said the L's have been altered by DM.

Blaming failure on 3 swings requirement is really a pretty shallow excuse, not that it isn't an alteration of the definition of a floating needle, BUT if you think that the L's processes produced fleeting little measly F/Ns that only last a second or two that an auditor would now miss I can assure you that that is completely bogus. The processes are powerful. They produce floating tone-arms, not little powder puffs of relief that last for less than 3 swings of a needle. So there's got to be more to it than this 3 swing excuse. An F/N wouldn't even get to the examiner if your theory is correct.

You should know, you've done L11.

I can see a possible argument that things would be taken up that should not be taken up due to this stupid 3-swing F/N crap.

Karen doesn't want to discuss it. Karen, is it because you consider that you are still is bound by confidentiality agreements with the Co$ and don't want to risk being sued? Or you think the L's data should be kept secret for some reason?

Good points. I am not an L's auditor, but I believe not every question on L's are of such power.

Along with the three swing F/N there has been intimidation of auditors such that they are
afraid to do any mistake as the penalties are gruesome. This would I assume result on more attention on the meter than the PC , more robotic beingness, less effective results where the wins are less, and maybe the three swing thing becomes important.

And I don't know whatever else has been altered. One thing it seems is how the PC is regarded.
This may be expressed as " out ethics consumer", at best. This in itself could damage results.
In recent times reports from Flag byauditors who used to work there and those who have done
service there are that its an extremely unfriendly place. I have heard of many who were
very disapointed with Flag services and came to the FZ to get fixed up.

Whatever they do there dosn't seem to be working.

Below some humour which seems to give some of the flavour.

23. I promise to see that any fee received for $ec-checking is only refunded following a pre-signed statement refusing acceptance of any such refund.

The single most important aspect of any auditing is not the list being run or specific commands delivered in a session but the manner in which such are delivered. Auditor attitude and treatment of the pc matters far more than the specific material being delivered. ARCX a pc and watch what happens. As such, the apparent general change in the behavioral climate and attitudes within the church since the '80s is more than sufficient to account for the observable decline in effectiveness of their "professional" auditing.

Most of the best auditors left 30 years ago. Each year the number of those remaining within the church declines. Training of their successors for decades now has been conducted within a cultural climate of increasing paranoia, social alienation, and micromanagement. The tendency for decades now has evidently been to encourage rote procedures and discourage the treatment of pcs as the individuals they are.

Such factors taken together go a long way towards suggesting an explanation for any apparent discrepancy in auditing results.

Come on Mark, you've never been to Flag for service in this or any other decade and you have no idea what the auditor quality there is.

I did L11 & 12 back in 93 before DM had really gotten to mess with F/Ns.

Rick Alexander did L11 and he was superb. A very calm and friendly man.

On to L 12 and Rick could not do mine because he was only a Class 11 at the time.

I got a guy named Alan something. He was very uptight and a total control freak, I did not feel very comfortable in his presence. So I told the D of P and I was switched to Norman Herring and Alan was sent to cramming. Norman like Rick was a super good auditor. They both knew their shit cold.

So even as late as 93 things were still chugging along at flag. I hung out with many others that were similarly happy with the L's they were getting. Suzzette Hubbard was getting auditing too and she hung out with us just like any other person.

My last auditing at flag in 02 was not very good. The F/N thing was in play there but hadn't been pushed out to lower orgs. My auditor was clearly nervous about making mistakes (a Class VI intern, previously a CL VIII but retreading) They had the hidden video and all installed and it did piss me off having to wait for the F/Ns to be called.

Much is made of making robots using GAT. I don't see the drills as such doing that. You do need to know to do Y when X happens. Bigger problem was the robotic TRs IMO

I agree that the environment of late is quite hostile and works in the exact opposite direction of the supposed goal.

Karen used the words "draconian mind control Ls" - sadly she isn't going to elaborate.

Perhaps Karen may elaborate. Perhaps you have done that for her?

Draconian refers to the severity of punishment.

I'm not sure why it's lead to a discussion about FNs.

Wow, you're way ahead of me, Emma.

I can't even find Draconia on the world map... :sadsigh:

... and Wikipedia doesn't even give a hint as to why the people of Draconia are such hard-asses. :confused2:

I've never had a "draconian" experience while sitting in session.

I have in ethics cycles. From seniors when I was on staff. From IAS and Bridge Pubs regs. But never in a session.

Well, let me tell you you have.

Let's redefine draconian so you'll accept the intended concept.

Governments have been killing babies for centuries. Babies are innocents who don't deserve such harsh and severe treatment.

You are part of a country that has a government. Killing babies is draconian, and because governments kill babies, being a member of a society with a government makes you a knowing or unknowing accessory to draconian measures, even if your particular government is only tangentially involved in baby destruction.

Just because you're sitting in a session scratching your ass doesn't mean that some government somewhere isn't right then killing a baby.

Draconian, henceforth, will be defined as being a knowing or unknowing participant in extremely harsh or severe laws or measures, which includes, amongst other high crimes, killing babies.

Bang with the gavel! Next case!

I've known quite a few auditors, former flag auditors included. On the whole and as a group I trust the old time auditors (prior to '80) a great deal more than I do those of a more recent church vintage. To me the difference is obvious. Not all were equally good of course, but disproportionately and as a group they were by far superior in their treatment of pcs.

As to flag, I never wanted to go there. And yes, that was also fully intentional on my part. NEVER get auditing from someone whom you are not comfortable receiving the service. I've never considered the Sea Org to be conducive of trust. My only tech experience with them confirmed that mightily.

If people are going to start defining 'draconian', maybe it's worth mentioning that the term does have a useful, precise meaning. It refers specifically to laws, or to legal or justice systems. A draconian law is one that is overly harsh, imposing disproportionately heavy punishments for minor crimes. The word comes from the name of this ancient Greek guy, Draco, who drew up the first written legal code for Athens. Under it, practically everything was punishable by death.

Draco's name is still an adjective all these centuries later because laws being too heavy-handed seems to be a permanent issue. Every generation or two there's a move to lower the boom on crime, and it often produces ridiculously overweighted punishments. So it's well worth keeping 'draconian' in its specific meaning, and not just letting it degenerate into the seventy-seventh way of saying 'bad'.

Here is what I saw when Jeff Mintz tried to get me to do the L's! He sent me videos of newly completed L public. One guy I thought was losing it - he was not looking sane to me - nervous and his waxing enthusiasm looked more like he was trying to convince himself that he was now a super hero. I thought these "success stories" right after they finish are not to be believed. I told Jeff Mintz that I would need to meet these people in one year - see their bank accounts and meet with their families to see how the L's helped them. I told him I had no interest in doing the L's - just never saw anyone completing them impressive. He was not happy with me. He stopped calling when I told them I would need a money back gaurantee that I would have a life better than the one I had....because they promise a new life! My life was good - did not need the $100,000 gamble of mind fucking L's.

I was shaken by the videos and it further convinced me I had no use for the L's! I made up my mind I would never tell anyone - but I never met anyone who did them that impressed me.

One 30 year old woman went to Fraud Scam Base to do her L's. She put it all on credit cards and re-financed her home. She came back and acted like an asshole. She lost her home, her job and her husband. She is a mess!

Another 50 year old man went to the Scam Base to do all three L's. He came back and looked like a Holocaust Victim. He divorced his wife - quit his job - he shaved his head and looked really strange. He moved to another City and he is still really strange. He got a new job in the same line of work - still going at it 3 years after his L's. He told me when he got back that the L's give you a new life. :omg: Wow - they sure did!:whistling: He was a trust fund guy - living off his family wealth - and he is really quite nuts!

The L's - they will give you a new life for $100,000. No promises of a better life...but certainly a new one!

I only ever met one L's completion & he looked like he'd had too much coffee. All wide eyed & agitated. I'll never forget what he told me. He said the the "L" he'd done had completely removed all guilt from his track, both past & future, and that he could punch me in the face right now & not feel guilty.

I was like WTF? :omg:
