IAAS is free to think anything he likes. He is not free to express those thought or allow them to surface during a sec check.
Someone asked earlier if I had seen this and yes I have and wondered what was new in it. It seemed to rehash everything bad said about the church recently with a bit of Paul Haggis angle, which also wasn't particularly new either.
I must add that devoting 20-something pages to it was obviously excessive and I wonder when they will give that much space (or any at all) to someone converting to Scientology (or any other religion for that matter).

At the meeting, Davis and I also discussed Hubbard’s war record. His voice filling with emotion, he said that, if it was true that Hubbard had not been injured, then “the injuries that he handled by the use of Dianetics procedures were never handled, because they were injuries that never existed; therefore, Dianetics is based on a lie; therefore, Scientology is based on a lie.”
That's quite true for most at the Sandcastle but I'm guessing that you never sat with the Aussies.Isn't THAT the truth!!
One of the odd-ball scenes at the Sandcastle on the 6 month check line is how mentally and verbally "shut-down" everyone is. All the veterans know that a slip of the tongue by anyone can restimulate thoughts that will come up in the very next sec-check session.
So when you're at lunch there, don't get too excited and blow off any steam over the slightest out-security you may or may not have had or ever heard that another had. Or mention how fucked your finances are. Or that you're 5 weeks late reporting back to your job or ANYTHING that's not "peaches & cream".
If you do, you won't have table partners for very long!
Thank you all once again for your comments, opinions, speculations and wonderings...
I see I have left things too long before responding once again and the now 15 pages of responses is a little overwhelming.
Where to start?
Some think I might get into ethics trouble if I'm found to be posting and reading this message board. I am not too worried about that at this stage, because I believe that there should be some kind of balance brought to some of the more extreme (and over-simplified) views about Scientology expressed on these boards.
It starts to sound like some kind of victim support group when people can only talk about what has been done too them and then they feel they have to make it look very bad.
Perhaps it is like sharing war wounds: "I got this one in '41, Pearl Harbor."
"This one was 'Nam '69." etc.
The other reason I am posting here is that I am curious. I think we (Scientologists) have to take responsibility for our efforts and our counter-efforts and only that way will we move forward as a group. So perhaps this is my way of taking some responsibility.
I do not see Scientology as an effort to have everyone thinking and acting as one under the rules or policies of LRH. I could not belong to such a group and anyone who has seriously studied Scientology at some length could not come to such a conclusion.
I think many of the ex-ers here do know that Scientology is the mystical journey of the spirit and the universe of within. Sure things have happened in the building of the religious structure surrounding this but if you take a look at the times in which we live I can forgive the sometimes embattled and
even heavy-handed (and wrong) approach we have seen in the past.
Can it get better? I believe so.

IAAS is blown from ESMB.
. . . when LRH was alive, but we always had him to turn to. Once he lost his position of power due to old age and bad health, any hopes of justice went out the window.
