The Face of Scientology 2011

And don't forget the One Scientologist who is a notch above the rest Freedom Medal of Valor winner Tom Cruise. He knows that he is the only one that can do something about it. He is the only one who can help.

If all Scientologists would have this level of certainty and this level of dedication we certainly would have end of game.

I can't tell you how surreal it has been being treated for cancer by healthcare professionals. It's an amazing experience. The level of compassion and understanding and real competence is almost hard for me to believe. No routing forms and no TRS and no correction lists and no assists or advance programs.

I sincerely shudder at the horror I would have endured if I was still "on lines" as an "on purpose" Scientologist. That is of course if I had been diagnosed at all. Just a few years ago I probably wouldn't have taken time off post to get a mammogram. It would have interfered with the stat evolution or some other hamster wheel activity.


Sadly I remember enforcing all those new Enrollment forms and crap after Lisa lost her life. I really blamed her for the DevT of having to be extra cautious with low toned dbs and psychotics. I blamed her for the PTS atmosphere at Flag after that. The increased paranoia in every reg cycle. The mania. The dread. The fear.

I owe Lisa McPhearson quite a bit. Her story won't let me forget who and what I became as a true believer. In that way she very well may have saved my life.

WOW! ESMB is delivering in spades today!

Another excellent post and thanks so much, Good twin!

"Ethics" are psych drugs - they're used to shut people up and to make tractable zombies of people (aka robots) that are quiet and compliant.

True for Scientology Ethics. Not true for psychiatric drugs.

With all due respect, Good Twin, what does Tom Cruise have to do with it? Aside from the fact that he's rich and is buddy-buddy with DM, is his mindset really all that different from any other devoted Scn? What he said in that video wasn't any different from what I've heard many of my Scientology friends say in moments of candor.

You are a very brave person for confronting it, facing it and fighting it! My hat is off to you. Seriously.

Heh. I imagine you might not be all that worried about it, you'd simply get up the levels to OT so you could drop this body and pick up another. Your valuation of human life, including your own, would be different.

I really blamed [Lisa McPherson] for the DevT of having to be extra cautious with low toned dbs and psychotics. I blamed her for the PTS atmosphere at Flag after that. The increased paranoia in every reg cycle.

You strike me as a very good and compassionate person, and the above is yet another reminder of what Hubtard's silly scam does to well-meaning people. (Kudos for your candor.) This is yet more proof that Scientology is evil.

And it's encouraging to know that people like you can come back and say beautiful things like:

I owe Lisa McPhearson quite a bit. Her story won't let me forget who and what I became as a true believer. In that way she very well may have saved my life.

That right there is *proof* that she did not die in vain.

I guess I'm buying into the 1950's and earlier portrayal like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is based upon - I really don't know anything about it meaning it's all rumor.

However, it IS Scientology and Hubbard rumor and fits perfectly with the idea of a criminal accusing others of their own crimes - meaning Hubbard and Scn are quick to criticize the use of drugs to merely chemically lobotomize their "patients" and that is exactly what Scn and Hubbard practices on their own staff, public and so on with other mind control manipulation.

"Ethics" indeed.

You're most likely totally right.

One of the first indicators I had that Scientology was full of crap was the blatently false information about mental health care. It was shocking how ignorant my Scientology friends were about the subject (not that I tried to correct them). I remember when they were up in arms about a California ballot measure that they thought would result in schools giving kids psychiatric drugs without telling their parents, not realizing that in California, the school nurse can't even give a kid aspirin without a signed form from the parents.

But I digress.

I think we all know Hubbard's beef with psychiatry: They deflated his Dianetics fad and declared it rubbish, so he declared war on them. The crap about the public detesting psychiatry is among the funniest stuff in Hubbard's policies, and (IMHO) one very big reason that wogs don't take the Admin Tech seriously.

the idea of a criminal accusing others of their own crimes

I actually started a blog entry on this, but it got a bit derailed and I need to reign it in before publishing. The "criminals accuse others of their own crimes" has some distant basis in legitimate psychology, but the level to which Hubbard elevated it is absurd. I don't think it stands up to examination.

I wonder if L Ron Hubbard might not also have had some simmering resentment after the VA declined his request for psychiatric "assistance" (i.e., more money for his disability pension)?

Most likely it does not bear up to examination. However, it is a yardstick by which Scn measures a criminal and, ironically, by its very own yardstick Scn defines itself as a criminal. That's the point - hence, "Scientology is criminal by its own policies of accusing others of its own crimes in that it is ALL about control and uses "ethics" to STFU those that are a bit too loud about being abused."

Good post, Caliwog.

Almost forgot about that one! Interesting how he ends the letter with a call to action in the form of a question ("Won't you please help me?"). I think he used this in some of his policy letters, and I've seen other Scns use it too.
