F=DCHRER:
Lord, we remember this young woman, Lisa McPherson,
who is now with You,
despite the many case supervisors and the OSA guards outside her door.=20
She stands before You
in the company of Patric Vic, Konrad Aigner and all the others
who, in the search for Total Freedom,
have found Death
as the victims of a malevolent organization.=20

Gandow:
Lord, You have known Lisa from the time she was born.
You know about her yearning for love and recognition,
her sorrow at her brother's murder and her father's suicide;
her joy at speaking with people,
her happiness in dancing,
her ambition to perform well,
and her readiness to devote herself fully.=20

Raise your heads and look up, because your salvation approaches, because
your salvation approaches.=20

Pfr. F=FChrer:
Lord, You know that:
She wanted to be free from the agonizing memories
of the death of her father and brother
and from the terrible "why."
She wanted to clear up all her problems.
She dreamt of being "clear",
of shaping her own destiny,
free from the shadows of her past.
For that she worked hard,
for that she earned much money, and
for that she paid much money.=20

Gandow:
You know, how seriously she took the Scientology technology;
but we also hear from friends who knew her
that she stayed human in an inhumane system,
and tried to help others,
even when her kindness was to her own disadvantage.=20

Raise your heads and look up, because your salvation approaches, because
your salvation approaches.=20

F=FChrer:
You know, for how much she had to sell her personal dignity
to move forward on the Bridge of self-salvation:
her life was organized down to the most intimate details
according to the absurd regulations
of a science fiction and horror story author;
she had to write knowledge reports
for the greedy eyes and folders of the OSA intelligence agency
about herself and her friend;
About every kiss and each tender touch:
when,
where,=20
how often,
and for how long.=20

Gandow:
Lord, in this world of violence, confusion and false paths
You do not pronounce those guilty
who get lost and go down the false paths
in their search for the path of freedom,
but rather those who exploit and abuse,
seduce and ruin those people.=20
Therefore forgive them and also us:
for our attempts to handle others,
for our false superiority,
for our common and our Scientology betrayal of our fellow man,
for our common and our Scientology knowledge reports,
for subjecting ourselves to structures and organizations,
for our attempt, by total discipline and demands for obedience in advance,
to obtain a part of total control and power over our fellow man.
Forgive us for our pride and our sin of playing God.=20

Raise your heads and look up, because your salvation approaches, because
your salvation approaches.=20

F=FChrer:
Lord, You know,
how she collapsed in despair
when her super-human Scientology abilities
came tumbling down after a traffic accident like a house of cards
You know, that she stripped herself naked in confusion
only to display her helplessness
only to find help at last.=20

And after she had found the help of a good Samaritan
and was so close to professional assistance,
Scientology did not let go of her,
but fetched her from the life-saving station.=20
Like an abused wife who must return to her tormentor,
so the organization got back its victim
with false promises.
Instead of aides and protectors, she found guards and tormentors.
Instead of consolation - isolation.=20

Raise your heads and look up, because your salvation approaches, because
your salvation approaches.=20

Gandow:

     Lisa felt remorse at taking her eyes off an object
     - but she was only being used to prove Hubbard's absurd claims.=20
     Lisa wanted to find herself
     - instead she found the "Introspection Rundown"=20
     Lisa wanted to dance
     - instead she was tied to her bed=20
     She wanted to talk with someone
     - but she could only talk to herself=20
     She was hungry for a friendly word
     - instead of that she had silent overseers,=20
          who were forbidden to talk to her,=20
          who stuffed her mouth with sedatives
     When she no longer wanted to be Clear
     - she was drugged and sedated with Benadryl and Chloral Hydrate.

F=FChrer:
Lord, Lisa sought only help and protection.
There were not enough protectors and Samaritans in the hospital
and too many personnel on watch in the Fort Harrison Hotel,
in room 174 and outside her door;
Sometimes there were more guards than were needed,
to hold Lisa down when she defended herself.
There was also a woman guard
who herself broke down and cried.=20
Lord, you know that:
While she was guarded and tormented,
and rendered powerless with drugs,
her Scientology friends plundered her bank account.=20

Only after 17 days in the Fort Harrison Hotel
tormented and defiled,
covered with bruises and abrasions,
already bitten by cockroaches,
was she brought
- dead -=20
to a hospital.=20
As her body, at the wish of the Scientology organization
was immediately cremated,
- they told Lisa's family that she had died of infectious meningitis -
Scientology looters went through her residence,
wrote checks from her account,
stole her clothes,
and plundered the estate.

Raise your heads and look up, because your salvation approaches, because
your salvation approaches.=20

Gandow:
Lord, hear us!
Now they are taunting their victim,
by describing their injections of drugs as
"spiritual sustenance" and religious treatment.=20
Lord, her tormentors took down only a few sentences
of what Lisa said.
They did not understand them.
It was not important for them.
The words, indeed, came from inside Lisa.=20
But You know everything that she said.

Let us also understand what Lisa meant
when, on the third day of her captivity she spoke of light
- completely contrary to Hubbard's teachings,
whereby light is a trap of deception=20
that only leads to an implant station -

Lord, let us understand what it means,
when she, contrary to all she had learned for 13 years, said:
"You have to follow the light, as light is life."=20

Raise your heads and look up, because your salvation approaches, because
your salvation approaches.=20

F=FChrer:=20
Lord, Lisa only wanted someone
with whom she could speak
as one speaks with a friend.

Now speak with Lisa and all
who despair in their isolation,
Wipe their tears away.

Send them people as friendly protectors like angels.
Be a merciful Protector and Helper,
where people fail.

Answer Lisa's and our questions,
"For with thee is the fountain of life:
in thy light shall we see light." [Ps. 36,10].=20

Raise your heads and look up, because your salvation approaches, because
your salvation approaches.=20

F=FChrer: OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN.
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power
And the glory. Forever and ever.
Amen.

BLESSING

HYMN (in German) 16: Die Nacht ist vorgedrungen,
der Tag ist nicht mehr fern.
So sei nun Lob gesungen
dem hellen Morgenstern!
Auch wer zur Nacht geweinet,
der stimme froh mit ein.
Der Morgenstern bescheinet
auch deine Angst und Pein.=20



4. Noch manche Nacht wird fallen
auf Menschenleid und -schuld.
Doch wandert nun mit allen
der Stern der Gotteshuld.
Begl=E4nzt von seinem Lichte,
h=E4lt euch kein Dunkel mehr.
Von Gottes Angesichte
kam euch die Rettung her.

I was there. It was very nice and tasteful. I believe that the family
would have liked it. One segment summarized the wishes and the feelings
of Lisa from the time she was alive very well. I feel that the text
alone does not bring up the "real thing" - you had to be there.

That is an important point IMO. She couldn't get out of her
"programming" and tell the scientology goons "leave me alone!".



The service was interrupted at the beginning by an incident which may
have a meaning... one spectator passed out. Another spectator thinks
that he may have had an epileptic seizure. A few minutes later, six (!)
people of the medical emergency came and took him to the hospital. I
don't know who the man was, but I hope that he is well.

There were about 20-30 people sitting, i.e. participating. Additonally,
a few hundred came in and out to visit the church, which is a major
tourist attraction, and which was not closed while the service took
place.

A woman tried to make photographs of a row of spectators. This was
clearly not a "tourist photographer". The woman was told not to
photograph.

I noticed that one person said the Lord's Prayer in her own language :-)
