Scientology hides it's true, greedy, virulent intentions
THE IRON SKEPTIC
Aaron Sakulich
Issue date: 7/8/05 Section: Sci-Tech
"...any person from 2.0 down on the tone scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind" (Science of Survival, Part I, Page131)
Feeling nervous yet? Again, in his words:
"There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the tone scale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the tone scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow." (Science of Survival, Part I, Page157)
Un-enturbulaion is the phrase they use for getting rid of a person's troubles (theta). So basically, what L. Ron Hubbard is saying quite clearly in this book, the 'scripture' of Scientology, is that everyone in the world who does not meet Scientology's standards must be converted or must die. He's arguing for the extermination of a significant portion of the population.
There are sects of every religion that think their scriptures specifically order them to murder unbelievers, though nothing I've heard of in any religion's holy book is as frank and blunt as this. "...dispose of them quietly and without sorrow." No beating around the bush with this fellow. This begs the question: have Scientologists ever acted on these orders? The answer is yes.
Literally dozens of people have been killed by Scientology; you can find a fairly complete listing of them and the (alleged) circumstances of their deaths at whyaretheydead.net. Generally, the murders follow one of three plots: outright killings, manslaughters and induced suicides. Take the case of Josephus Havenith: he died in a Scientology training camp in Florida. At the time, Scientologist officials claimed that the "60-year old" Havenith had died in bed of a heart attack. In reality, the 45 year-old was found in his bathtub, where he had been submerged in water so hot that it boiled away his flesh.

As a Scientologist for 37 years, I thought your article remarkable in its distortions and inaccuracies.
Fortunately you do not represent the true nature of Drexel, a superior center of learning. (Continued…)

One would think that, with the loved ones of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish families still trapped under twisted wreckage in the London underground, people who foment interreligious hatred would take a holiday. (Continued…)

I knew Mr. Hubbard, his wife and four children. He was my senior supervisor on my first course in Dianetics.
I have heard and/or read the substance of Ophidia's reply in one form or another over a period of 37 years. (Continued…)

Aaron,
I've disagreed with many of your op-eds in the past, but I have to say, this one was well-documented, thorough, and brutally honest. Nicely done, and thanks for having the balls to speak plainly about this dangerous cult. (Continued…)
