That is, Fatso was never wrong. That's the program. "Do exactly as I say and all will be well." was chanted at the preclear before he was sent into 'dianetic reverie'. The pc is not allowed to do or think in a direction other than the auditor points. That's called "diving out of session." >And also that his "tech" was never wrong. It was my job to inforce this rule at the highest levels of the tek. If it didn't work on the mark *exactly* as Tubbard said, the auditor was sent to me in Cramming for a repair of his comprehension and application of the dogma. >If auditing fails, it is the auditor's fault (or the auditee has >overts/witholds or whatever). Is this a fair characterization? Toadly correct, Doug. But, if the mark has withholds, you *still* don't walk away. As an auditor, you pull them and order cramming on the previous auditior and possibly the Case Supervisor. Then you order the pc's confessional folder FES'd. If the pc has been audited over withholds, heads roll in tek and qual. I'd give you the references so you could read it for yourself IF I HAD F*CKING RIGHTS!!! >Which brings me to my question(s). Has Scientology evolved at all since >Hubbard's demise? The dogma or the organization? Dogma no. Intrepretation of the dogma has continued to evolve. But only minutely. It's hard to interpret such transparency as: MAKE MONE, MAKE MORE MONEY, GET OTHERS TO MAKE MONEY. >has the Tech changed at all? Written tek or the praticed tek? They tinker with the marketing machine by rewriting descriptions and position on chart, but no. It can't. I'm still an expert, 15 years after I left. >Have any beliefs central to >the practice of Scientology changed (or even stuff not in the Tech, but in >some HCO order or whatever?) The written stuff cannot change. The practices of the cult change all the time withing a narrow range related to what is working to make more money, stats or converts at that moment. >Also, what about policy (especially with respect to dealing with "wogs")? The average scieno only deals with wogs in one way. The dissemination drill. I posted it once. That material has not been returned to me after the raid, so I can't quote it again. But it basically gives a mechanical drill for turning raw meat into bodies in the shop. Orifice of Special Affairs deals with wogs in the larger "klear the planet" sense. Infiltration, subterfuge, dirty tricks, media management, legal assaults , and money are the resopnsibility of OSA. >The >Cult says it has changed starting since the early 80's or so doesn't it? Yes, it claims those "bad sienos from the GO" are all gone. No, not true. Those bad scienos from the GO were a blessing on the world compared to those operating OSA today. Those are the ones trying to destroy free speech on internet. >But >do they say how they've changed? Yes. They searched out the staff to blame and said "We've found the renegade staff that did it and fired them." >Does the Cult produce any real supporting >evidence that they are now "good guys"? If you mean Good Works[tm], no. They only infiltrate and use front groups with celebs like Isaac Hayse as the Lead Sheep. Literacy Crusade, indeed. Like the 2 million kids in South Africa? >Conversely, is there substantive >evidence that they have not changed their ways? (I'm particularly interested >to know if RPF is still as horrible as described in Hana Whitfield affadavit. >I.E. eat tablescraps out of bucket in the Flag garage, work 12+ hours a day, 7 >day a week, run everywhere, 30 second showers, run around trees in the desert >-- Is this concentration camp style stuff still going on today?) Yes, and worse. Recent reports tell of a completely isolated and regulated for the inner circle working at the Hemet compound. The Running Program is what is used now to break the will of recalcitrants. > Do they >still make children work long hours? Children in the C-org are treated just like adults. >Is the child care as described in >Margery Wakefield's "Road to Xenu" still as despicably negligent as it was in >the 70's? Those childcare scenes that Margery describes are accurate. Filth, mayhem and separation from parents are the main elements of the Cadet program for them. >The reason I ask is that a lot of the affadavits and evidence I've read seem >to predate the mid-80's or so. (If anyone knows offhand of some really recent >eyewitness testimony, could you please point me to it? Thanks.) Such information would best be given to authorities in the wog community for investigation. If such investigations are ongoing, we would not hear about them til they resulted in arrests. >My personal theory (I'm not claiming I thought of it first) is that if the CoS >is as immutable as it seems, they are on a collision course with mainstream >society (and the Internet :-). By being so fixated about maintaining >Hubbard's word, they are doomed to extinction, as is any species that cannot >adapt in nature. Perhaps it is possible to exploit this weakness of theirs? A work in progress. >Sorry for so many questions. I'm still in learning mode. No apologies. Many good faqs exist for ars. Ask for pointers. >Cheers, >Doug +--------------------------------------+ Rev. Dennis L Erlich * * the inFormer * * dennis.l.erlich@support.com + inForm@primenet.com "tar baby"
