I’m not a scientologist, or even religious at all, but in my opinion, if you want have your religion taken seriously, the church has to stop copyrighting the material.

Your research and reporting is exactly what is needed.
Debbie Cook’s email on New Year’s Day came as a real eye opener which led me to take the time to digest and understand your comprehensive report on this site. What it clearly lays out is the form of the specific departure from the standard practices of the administration of Scientology.
After refreshing myself with KSW, a paragraph popped out towards the end: “So the ogre which might eat us up is not the government or the High Priests. It’s our possible failure to retain and practice our technology.” From my perspective, being alerted to the current status of the structure of the organization at the leadership level coupled with this very insightful research; my responsibility with respect to KSW compelled me to do something as clearly we have a constitutional crisis.
Like most Scientologists, I understood that speaking out came with consequences. Being labeled “Declared” is not conducive to doing business or socializing within the group, even interacting with one’s family members whose continued advancement up the Bridge would certainly be impacted.

I realized that these threats would prevent the vast majority of our membership from taking any meaningful action.
It’s for that precise reason I decided to take personal action and write directly to management, expressing my concerns and in the absence of any acknowledgment or explanation, eventually offered some financial aid for Debbie Cook’s legal defense.
As expected, I was “declared”. I found this out on a trip to New York in June at the summons of CJC who presented me with a declare issued in February. I was shown Debbie Cook’s declare – which would not stand up in a practical drill exercise, by the way. My declare can only be described as a boiler plate document with no specifics. Of course I asked for a comm ev but have never heard back. So not surprisingly, failure to practice our technology is in evidence even at the ethics and justice level.
My comment to those who share my concern and trepidation is to recognize that Scientology as an organization currently has a condition relevant to the society at large which has nothing to do with the technology. It relates specifically to OUR LEADERSHIP which has adopted what turns out to be non-standard and allegedly even illegal policies and practices. We are finally seeing the fallout.
As Scientologists we can’t afford to continue to ignore or fail to distinguish the difference between the technology and the leadership while remaining loyal to the cause. This is precisely what those in control are demanding of us and are prepared to punish or suppress anyone who publicly makes that distinction.
Scientology at its core is about the capacity to effect change – even the newest student is equipped with those fundamentals, “Conditions”.
We can change this condition and it’s in our hands to do so – not those who came before or those who come after us. This condition will be of short duration if we do something about it. I am!

“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”— Thomas Paine

We need more people like we had during the American Revolution.

Great article! Unfortunately, the Debbie Cook trial ended in a permanent injunction. So, Debbie is effectively out of the fight at this point. However, at least she showed that someone with integrity can stand up. She is definitely an inspiration to me.

Thank You for the Inteligent account. The problem with SP’s is They have an imaginary enemy(ies)… The thing to do, In my opinion. is to :
A. call for accurate KR from each person who actually was harmmed by DM or OTHERS. B . sort it out from earliest to PT.
C. Apoint A “grand jurri” on line. Cort Marshal, kind.
D. let the jurry have all the evidense.
E. publish it on lines.
f. The public ALL IAS members will be jurry.
G. vote will happen on line (same as in reality show).
H. The power of IAS will return to the public who actually are The IAS. (not some crazy people who want stupid cows to milk, the cows will now decide for themselves and act!)
EYE. The apointed Judges will give the final judgment and punishment. upon reciving the votes.
from what Debbie said under oath, Debbie’s executers of LRH tech, lost their minds and the Tech.
A Comm Ev is a previlage. The ones who engaged in such crimes dont deserve it.

Wow, so happy to know that there were so many of us, I thought I was the (only one) and afraid to speak out until I read Debbie’s letter and checked out the incredible amount of data on the other sites as well. Many of my friends are oblivious to the fraud
and support the small one with the tiny spirit but I am hoping the trial will open some eyes. We can save it after the truth floats to the surface and tech is restored. Thanks for being here. ot

Patience, Jo. The lack of postings is due to the nature of this site and our audience. Our readers are typically disinclined to make public statements. We get plenty of emails and other signs of support, such as the number of letters that were mailed in to our lawyers. Fact is, we’re on a roll.
