Here is my Liability write-up, which had been posted months earlier to
the newsgroup by Keith Spurgeon.  I was not comfortable posting to the
newsgroup openly at the time, and he helped me get this out on a.r.s.
I'll repost it here since I don't have my PTS declare. This document
clearly shows the reason why I was put into "lowered conditions"- or
ethics conditions below "non-existence".  Before a Scientologist does a
"liability formula", s/he must first have violated the rules of the
group of Scientologists.  Well, the rules that I violated included
holding "material hostile to Scientology in my possession unbeknownst to
my fellow Scientologists", and having "read this material".  The
material that I held "unbeknownst to my fellow Scientologists" and then
read included postings to this newsgroup as well as the books "A Piece
of Blue Sky" and "Religion Inc."  I was required to turn this material
over to the Director of Special Affairs of my Org, and later was told to
write an account of every piece of entheta material I had held regarding
Scientology and to explain precisely how I had disposed of it, had I not
turned it over to the DSA.  When a Scientologist is put into "lowered
conditions" s/he is not allowed per L Ron Hubbard's policy to receive
auditing- amongst other penalties pertinent to the condition assigned.
Again, this is undesirable for Scientologists, as Scientology auditing
is one's "route to total freedom", and per the new "Orientation" film,
without Scientology one is doomed to "shivering, agonizing darkness" for
the next trillion years.  Under these conditions and other mechanisms of
mind control employed in Scientology, most Scientologists would turn in
their books and a.r.s. postings (printed) unquestioningly, as I did
(well, I did question...).
The Executive Director recommend that I write letters to the editors of
various papers in the vicinity to strike an effective blow to the
enemies of the group of Scientology- written on behalf of the Task Force
for Freedom and Responsibility on the Internet, a Scientology front
group.  That was because my infractions against the group of
Scientologists had been in part due to my reading material from
alt.religion.scientology.  Here goes (it is posted in the form as it
appeared earlier on the newsgroup):





------------------------ Liability write-up
[Name Deleted]

 (1)  My friends are those Scientologists who act to help
themselves and others progress toward the greatest good for the
greatest number of dynamics.  My friends are members of the
group of Scientologists.

I have violated the rules of the group by the following acts:

-Wavered in my loyalty to Scientology itself.
-Held material hostile to Scientology in my possession,
unbeknownst  to my fellow Scientologists.
-Read this material.

By doing a Doubt condition, I decided that I was a member of this
group, and to (2) deliver an effective blow to the enemies of the
group  I:

-Wrote 14 letters to newspaper editors in [names of cities  deleted].
The letter was written for publication in the editorial  sections, and
covered the issue of copyright violations occurring on  the Internet.
I was writing on behalf of the Task Force for  Responsibility and
Freedom on the Internet, a Scientology  organization.  These were
mailed 13 August.

(3) I did the following to make up the damage done to the group by
my actions:

-Mocked up the space for the Sea Org Missionaires. *
-Steam cleaned the carpet and both rugs in the 2nd Reg Office.
-Paid $111.70 from mine and my wife's account to cover for the
catering at the [city deleted] workshop.

ExtensionCourse to [name deleted].

-Wrote 125 letters.
-Washed windows upstairs, all the way around the org. (did not wash  the
reg office's windows, because they'd been done recently)
-Folded 350 promotional letters for the 19 August Dianetics Workshop.

All the above is done;

(4) Please consider this as an application for re-admission into the
group of Scientologists.
