As I posted last night on Operation Clambake, my 2 cents :)
Posted: 01 Sep 2005 03:06 Post subject: My Two Cents....Please use if you'd like to.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear ________________
Recently it has come to my attention that Mr. Joel Phillips wrote you a letter regarding Andreas Heldal-Lund. I would like to inform you of a few things you may not know.
1. Joel Phillips used to work for me, when I was in the Church of Scientology. The Vice President of Scientology, Janet Weiland, had asked me to run a group that would basically "handle" what they call "Black PR", which is bad words said about Scientology, or L. Ron Hubbard. At the time I was just as in the dark as Mr. Phillips, and as a result, believed Scientology was all good, and these critics were our enemies. I had NO idea that there was actually TONS of INFORMATION that I didn't know, that my own "Church" had lied to me about, and that these very critics were merely trying to help people find out the truth this insidious organization was so desperately hiding.
2. I was briefly the Executive Director for the Scientology Parishioners League, with Joel Phillips as my junior, and during this time, I actually met Andreas on-line, and he helped me greatly. He never told me anything negative about Scientology, in fact, he's been nothing but a total gentleman in the years that I have had the pleasure of knowing him.
3. I had been doing my own "waking up" as I call it from Scientology, and meeting Andreas was sort of the final straw. Scientology had convinced me he was 'The Devil", yet he was one of the kinder, and smarter people I'd met in some time.
4. From a few things, one of which was the help from Andreas, I woke up, and decided I had to leave Scientology, as I was well aware of some of the borderline illegal things they had done, all under the guise of 'religion'. At that time, I called Joel Phillips to tell him I was leaving, I wished him well, and he was in charge.
5. Some months after I left, I began to run into Joel Phillips. I was surprised to find him always trying to stop me from picketing, speaking out, helping families get their kids out of Scientology. The depth of his own mind control was amazing to me to see, now that I'm out, and still is to this day.
6. Since that time, Joel Phillips has now put up a Web site with pages and pages of lies about me, and many other critics of Scientology. Let me please make this clear to you: I'm positive Joel Phillips has NEVER read one word on Andreas' site, and if he would read the information, he too would wake up, and leave.
(It is a "High Crime" in Scientology to read things such as Andreas' site, which Merely have facts written that Scientology fears their public will learn. They should fear it! If people ~did~ know the real truth, they too would leave).
7. Also, I'm quite sure Joel Phillips is just a name being used, a front man so-to-speak, so the Church of Scientology doesn't look SO bad, writing such libelous things about so many people.
Lastly, Andreas has been a tremendous help to me in the 5 years that I have been out of Scientology. Scientology proposes to be many high and mighty things, most of which they are not. They are their own worst enemies, which I told them when I was "in". Andreas, on the other hand, actually demonstrates continuously (and quite humbly) all that they wish they were, and are not
8. All of this letter and the slamming of Andreas is based on a Policy L. Ron Hubbard Wrote, called "Fair Game", which states:
"If people speak out against the Church of Scientology (or Hubbard himself), A Scientologist can "Lie, Steal, Cheat, Destroy them utterly, with absolutely no consequences".
9. Scientologists are shown a "Cancellation" policy which states this "Fair Game" Policy was cancelled. I even stood up in Court, insisting it had been Cancelled.
I was positive it had been, however Scientology's continuous Fair Game actions, such as Joel Phillips ridiculous letter to you all, proves the organization known as The Church of Scientology still use Fair Game on a daily basis.
If you need any more information from me to help you understand this insidious organization and why they NEED to try to continuously stop any and all critics, or just people writing and telling facts they need to hide, including trying to stamp out Andreas, please let me know.
Andreas is my friend, and has helped literally thousands of people.
My best to you,
Tory Christman X-Scientologist after 30 years "in" Free at LAST!
