Smart PR trick by the scientologists
After I read in todays newspaper that a german scientologist have asked for and get asylum in USA I became mad. This smart PR trick - to play out countries against each other - is so incredibly sick and dishonest.
If US had refused asylum, the scientologists would have used that in a new PR campaign under the motto "We are the victims of religious intolerance in USA".
One is easily drawn into this movement and transforms slowly to an ego tripped,contempt of man robot with the help of L Ron Hubbard's bulletins and scriptures. One looks down onto other people who doesn't understand that they are unenlightened and one tries to pick them into "the shop". For each new person coming in from the street the statistics of "bodies in the shop" is raised and the poor pick up'er gets perhaps a salary on Thursday.
In the Scientology Sea Org they have children from the age of 13 working 16 hours a day with no schooling or spare time.
I was a scientologist in 14 years and I am ashamed!
I am ashamed before my children and my now dead parents, for the contempt of man I learned to defense under those 14 years. Furthest inside myself I knew that this was no religion but a pretext to avoide tax and to manage to ally other unsuspecting religious movements in this "noble battle for a clear planet". I did know that they were not able to practise their own religion within the frames of scientology because that is a controversy to the most important policy from Hubbard there he says "We're not playing some minor game in Scientology. It isn't cute or something to do for lack of something better." And: "We'd rather have you dead than incapable." (from HCOPL 7 Feb 1965 "Keeping Scientology Working" by L Ron Hubbard).
And when they coax people with a Christian belief, the real betrayal begins. Because Hubbard was neither Christian or religious and he said "For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on, let me take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Marcab PR." (from HCOB 5 May 1980 "Student Briefing" by L Ron Hubbard).
The above is of course a secret until one almost is ruined after all courses and therapies on the levels below. And all the time one is curious about The Big Secret; the one which will unveil the meaning of life. It turns into a large anticlimax when one realize that Hubbard wants one to believe that unconscious ghoasts are glued all over the body and are influencing us. They were brought here from space in ice blocks and slipped into vulcanos who was bombed with H-bombes 75 million years ago. After that they were given false memories containing angels, cherubs, God and Christ.
This "creation myth" is the scientologists bible and is the one who justify their claim for religious tolerance today!
Even the nazis believed that the human raze was brought to Earth in about the same way.
