Scientology ethics:

Short version first:

Yeah, I wonder when Scientologist Ingemar Mansfeld is going to pay me the money he owes me. It's been 12 years now, since I had to pay what he owed "Intecknings Börsen" for a loan he took when he went to the big Scientology Protest in Portland Oregon in 1985. I was stupid enough to be so kind as to cosign this loan, his brother Christer Mansfeld was the other cosigner, but he too refused to pay the loan. The both went bankrupt as good scientologists of course, and left me with the loan to pay.

Since I am an honest person, I did of course pay the loan.

This is what Scientology ethics is worth I guess. Yes, I spoke to Gun Lanciai in Stockholm years ago about this very sad behaviour, but of course nothing happened. Scientology is an out-ethics organization of course, so to steal money from a wog isn't a crime in Scientology, but rather something good it seems.

Should this person decide to pay what he owes me, I expect of course interest on the money, since May 30, 1988.

My lawyer though, tells me that he believes that I should sue Ingemar Mansfield and his brother, and perhaps I'll do just that. A criminal belongs in a court, and I'd say that stealing money is a crime.

So OSA Stockholm, what was it you said about criminals again?

Who was it you accused of being criminals? Was it the critics perhaps? I'd say that it more looks like you protect someone that stole my money.

And now, let us write the full story regarding this fuck up.

At this time of my life, I worked as a foreman at one of Stockholms largest bus workshops. I wasn't a Scientologist at this time, since it was back in 1979, that I took a course, and decided that it wasn't for me.

Anyhow, I had a friend that was a Scientologist (well she still is a scientologist in her heart I guess, but a freeloader bill, stops her from paying for more auditing and course, thanks god), she called me and told me about this Portland crusade, and since I am a man that loves freedom, and at that time was pretty naive, I didn't question the story she told me about how Scientology and all religions were being suppressed in Portland Oregon, due to the Julie Titchbourne-Christofferson case.

So, after we had talked for a while about this, she continued saying that there were some 50 Scientologists from Stockholm, that wanted to go to Portland, and they had some trouble to get to the airport from where the flight was going to the U.S. They obviously couldn't afford to pay for a plane ticket to Kastrup/Denmark. The flight was to departure from Kastrup's airport in Copenhagen Denmark, and since it is some 650 Kilometers from Stockholm to Copenhagen, they just didn't know how to get there.

Now then, since I worked at a bus company, and had all permits needed to drive a big bus, she asked me if there was any possibility that I could rent a bus and drive the Scientologists to the airport in Denmark. They would of course pay me what the bus would cost. And as the naive and nice guy I was at that time, I decided not to charge them anything for the driving of the bus itself. Yeah well, I checked this with the bus company, rented the bus, and made all plans that was needed for the journey.

So, on May 21 (IIRC), 1985 I showed up with this big bus, outside the org at Kammakargatan in Stockholm, and boy was it a mess there. Lots of clams running around, seemingly not knowing what to do about anything. So, I sat down for a while, chatting with my Scientology friend, that also was there, and then after a while, this guy Ingemar Mansfeld with his wife comes around, upset as hell, because he haven't been able to get enough money to follow the rest of the Scientologists to this extremely important event in the U.S. So, after a lot of nattering (as the scientologists would put it) it became clear that he lacked one cosigner of a loan, his brother had already cosigned a loan, but he needed one more. Again, as the naive and nice man I was, I volunteered to be the second cosigner, since I couldn't for the life of me believe at that time, that a Scientologist would do anything else than be ethical and stay by his commitment.

So, off we went to the loan institute, and now it was a big hurry, because we were supposed to be on the road now. We came to a normal apartment, which for a moment puzzled me, and there was the office of this "Intecknings Börsen", we filled out the necessary paper work, and then he got his money.

Now then, in a big rush back to the org, and then begun the next phase of "odd scientologists" behaviour. We had already when I rented the bus decided how many people that should be travelling with us, and the price per head was of course decided from that, since the total price for the rent of the bus was fixed. Now all of a sudden, when I opened up the bus, and told the people that it was time to board, some begun to natter about that it was too expensive, and that they had found other ways to get to Copenhagen. That of course meant that the price for those that decided to come along, as they had wanted and promised from the beginning, all of a sudden went up of course (per head). This fact of course, led to a lot of more nattering, and I almost lost my calm at this time, but after some delay we got on our way.

Well, there's nothing much more to tell about the trip itself, I drove the Scientologists the approx 650 KM to Denmark, off loaded them at the airport, a lot of nattering again when they should pay me at the arrival, but I finally got the money, and then drove back the 650Km's to Stockholm.

So, now this part was over, and we now comes to this fucking loan again. Ingemar Mansfeld, kept up his payment of this loan (more or less) until I had to pay the rest of it on May 30, 1988, when he decided that it was easier to go bankrupt, in old Scientology style, than to pay his fucking debts.

Yeah well, there's a lot to say about how he kept up his payment too, since I got reminders from the loan institute almost every month, when he was late with the monthly payments.

I have probably more than 100 pages here, of these kind of reminders. I often called him when I got these reminders, but he always assured me that it was no problems, and that he would pay "tomorrow"

So there. that's in a compressed form, one of my adventures with the "ethical Scientologists". I'm sure I have forgotten a lot of details, but I believe this paints the picture pretty accurate.
