If you want to help fight the scientology organisation but don't want to make a long-term committment, please visit this page:

http://www.snafu.de/~tilman/do.html (That page has also many links) ======= What you can do Sometimes people ask "can I help?" and nothing happens. Other make a www page that they no longer care for after some time. So here are a few small projects you can work on. Some take as little as a few hours, i.e. no long term committment is needed, but your help is appreciated. If you chose a project, please give me some feedback.

The Problem: Dictionaries The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations has attributed the quote "If you really want to make a million, the quickest way is to start your own religion" to Anonymous. However, several witnesses have reported that the quote comes from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Scientology claims that the quote is from George Orwell. The person who found it out, Robert Vaughn Young, found out also that LRH said it.

What you can do:

Write a letter to the publisher to explain this matter.

Look also at your library in encyclopedias for the definition of Scientology or Dianetics. If you consider the definition too soft or inaccurate, write to the publisher. Include evidence for everything you allege.

The Problem: Broken links Many people link to anti-scientology sites that no longer exist.

Hundreds of web pages still link to Ron Newman's old site at http://www.cybercom.net/~rnewman What you can do:

Click for altavista or infoseek for people linking Ron Newman's old site at http://www.cybercom.net/~rnewman, and e-mail them to change the link to his new site or to http://www.xenu.net and to resubmit the site to the search engine. (Ron Newman's site is outdated anyway). The more people link to a page, the better its ranking gets in search engines.

The same problem exists for Marina Chong's page http://home.pacific.net.sg/~marina, which no longer exists.

Search altavista and infoseek for people linking to it, and tell people that the links are broken. If you have the time, find what they are linking to and tell them a similar site (it is probably the A.R.S. Web Page Summary, which is now at http://www.entheta.org/arsweb.html, however, this is no longer updated). The same problem exists for http://www.best.com/~mchong; again, search altavista and infoseek for linkers.

If you have written to a web page owner, bookmark the page and verify it a week later. If it has been changed, e-mail it to me with the subject "submit".

The Problem: Scientology letters to the Editor Scientology uses a high amount of resources to write (sometimes by "individual" scientologists) letters to the Editor, even when newspapers just forward wire reports.

What you can do:

Writing a letter in support of the paper, thanking them for the article, and adding your opinion on Scientology, pointing to your favourite website, etc.

Your letter should be short (one page maximum), easy to understand, not too complicated, and not be sent as e-mail. If the letter has several paragraphs, these should be independant from each other (so that the paper can choose to kill one or several of them). If you make factual allegations, add the evidence (a copy of another newspaper article, or a court decision).

The Problem: Articles only available as text What you can do:

You can help OCR these articles, or you can type them in fully manually; then post them to alt.religion.scientology. Many people collect all articles to establish searchable databases.

The Problem: Stolen books Scientology or "individual" Scientologists have been reported to steal books from libraries, or critical magazine articles.

What you can do:

Buy and donate books critical to scientology to your local library. If magazine articles are surgically removed, donate a printout of the article to the library. If books are missing, warn the librarian that this is an organized effort.

The problem: Scientology books in the self-help section Scientology claims to be a "religion", yet their books are often in the self-help section of bookstores or libraries.

What you can do:

When you visit a bookstore or a library, explain that Scientology is a religion (well, they say so!), and persuade them to put the book in the "religion" section.

Alternatively, insert a "Xenu Leaflet" into the scientology books.
