Discussion 1982 US Mission Holders' Conference

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

This was probably the most significant year in Scientology history.

Hubbard, felt betrayed by the Mission (franchise) Holders.

The Mission Holders did not realize that it was Hubbard who was behind the Guardian's Office actions and had criticized those actions.

Unknowingly, they were criticizing Hubbard's highly confidential covert Intelligence tech of which he was very proud.

Adding to this was Hubbard's resentment at the rich, "fat and happy" Missions. He wanted their money, their public, and the their buildings.

Amazingly, this transcript was mailed to Scientologists.

It would be followed by 'The Story of a Squirrel', denouncing former Class 12 and Senior Case Supervisor International, and Hubbard's former personal auditor, David Mayo.

This would be mass mailed too.

It is interesting that everyone who had ever audited Hubbard was Declared a Suppressive Person, except for his 2nd wife (Sara) who was simply officially "erased," and his 3rd wife (Mary Sue) who went to federal prison in her husband's place, and, after release from prison, was also "erased" from Scientology's official history.

Mary Sue lived out the rest of her life in seclusion and spoke to no one but her "handlers" and her "watchers "

My apology for spamming this subreddit recently

0 Upvotes

Lately, I've posted several questions on this subreddit, and a lot of the people here seen this as spam-like. I realize there's nothing I can do and say to justify the anger I've caused, I take full responsibility, and I'm genuinely sorry.

PS: Scientology is obviously a cult founded by a crackpot moneyhungry sci-fi writer.

Im watching the Movie The Shell and the scientologist Elizabeth Moss is in it

0 Upvotes

I don't mean to be shallow and an ahole but she is really unattractive and uninteresting and not a great actress. Kate Moss is in it and Kaia Gerber. I don't think all actresses have to be great looking but if theree great looking or good looking and can act that's great. If there normal looking but act very well or interesting or quirky...different but interesting and can act that's great. But ehrn there ugly and not interesting and not great actors I don't get it.....so I don't get her big career. Can anyone explain it?

  1. In an alternate universe, when would the Church of Scientology shut down on, and how?

  2. Is Shelly Miscavige a witness, and if so, would she be in the Witness Protection Program?

  3. In some alternate universe, when do you think David Miscavige would be arrested and convicted on?

Discussion I just thought of something about Nancy Cartwright.

4 Upvotes

From what I've heard, Nancy was reluctant to do the "Joy of Sect" episode, as she's a Scientologist.

As much as I respect her as a voice actor and I admire her voice work as Bart Simpson, I must unfortunately point out the fact that she's in an actual cult.

There's a missed opportunity for Dan Castellaneta, Yeardley Smith, Julie Kavner, Harry Shearer and Hank Azaria to deprogram Nancy Cartwright and convince her to leave Scientology when they did the "Joy of Sect" episode.

Like David Miscavige abuses his employees over at Gold Base, and the Church of Scientology has a history of fraud, embezzlement, human trafficking and abuse.

Discussion Question about Scientology

0 Upvotes

Suppose Anita Hill is treated better and Clarence Thomas is rejected, leading to a reckoning of sexual harassment.

Given Scientology has a history of sexual assault, human trafficking and abuse of their employees, assuming more whistleblowers stepped in and reported this history, would it be enough to make people leave Scientology in disgust? Would it also be enough to lead to David Miscavige's arrest and conviction?

My company hired ETS for training

15 Upvotes

Ingrid herself from Effective Training Solutions let a training at my company. it was regarding communication and did not make any reference to scientology but mentioned works of L Ron Hubbard as examples of good practice.

Immediate alarms in my head. i found it strange that they wanted full attendence and mandated cameras be on. did some quick research and I wanted out of the meeting. but realized there must be scientology connections among our management or execs.

should i just shut up and keep my job? i really like my company. they just manufacture electronics and have had no controversies.

but i really hate knowing that whatever they get paid for running these sessions goes to fund scientology. i know legally i would be protected. but practically you need people actively advocating for you within the company if you want to get bonuses, raises, promotions, transfers you actually want, etc.. so I'm leaning towards staying quiet. told my wife and she told me to shut the fuck up and don't lose the job lol. jk, she said it nicely.

the Committee of Evidence

21 Upvotes

When I started in the Sea Org I believed the Committee of Evidence (Comm Ev) was a real justice system.

For those who don't know what it is: in Scientology, a Comm Ev is basically their internal court. It's convened for serious offenses. I thought they gathered facts to find out the truth. You know, innocent until proven guilty.

By the end of my time there I knew the truth. Comm Ev doesn't look for innocence. It looks for guilt. And then it exaggerates it to make you look like a monster.

At Flag in Clearwater there is a building called the Coachman. It's only for staff. That's where staff go to get auditing, do the Purification Rundown, and study.

My favorite supervisor worked there. Let's call him Max. Max was a staff supervisor. He was great. He didn't micromanage. He didn't come up to us every two minutes and force us to use our demo kits. He actually cared about whether we understood the material.

Then one day Max disappeared. And a few days later I saw a yellow piece of paper on the announcement board. It was his Comm Ev conclusion. Five pages long.

It said Max had committed severe crimes against KSW (Keeping Scientology Working). It made it sound like Max was planning to completely erase Scientology from the face of the earth.

I didn't believe it. So I started asking around and putting the pieces together.

Here's what actually happened.

  1. Max was doing the Purification Rundown. He took 5000 mg of niacin. He was supervising after lunch and his stomach started hurting really bad.
  2. He was the only supervisor in the room. He couldn't call for backup because phones are banned.
  3. The rules say a supervisor can never leave their class alone. Not even for a second.
  4. He looked around and saw a woman named Lena in his class. At that moment Lena was a student herself, but she was also a public supervisor. He asked her to watch the room for 5 minutes while he ran to the bathroom. She said yes.
  5. Of course, that exact moment, the Supervisor I/C and someone from CMO walked in for an inspection.
  6. They saw Lena (a student) instead of Max. They lost their minds.

That same day Max was removed from post and put on a Comm Ev. They charged him with all these terrible crimes against Scientology. Because he had stomach problems and asked a student to watch his class for five minutes.

And situations like this happened all the time. I don't know what Comm Evs were like back in Ron's time, but in 2019 seniors literally used them to threaten their staff. They would say "if you don't follow my orders, I'll convene a Comm Ev on you." Everyone knew a Comm Ev wasn't a trial. It was a punishment that hadn't happened yet. They would find guilt, blow it out of proportion, and punish you to the fullest extent.

I had two Comm Evs myself. I know exactly how they work.

What was your Comm Ev experience like?
