I certainly hope this is typical scientology hype... Is there anyone in S. Africa that can independently check these two claims.... This is the sort of thing that scientologists LOVE to latch onto. One person reads a Intro booklet about the organizing board, they are employed by the government and soon this has become "the government of Malawi is now operating on LRH Admin Tech." Or there is a photo taken of someone standing next to a police officer with a WTH booklet and "crime has been reduced by 60% in the city of Caracas as a result of the police department embracing the … [Read more...]
Apartheid Alive and Well in Scientology?
I know I have commented on this before, but it never ceases to amaze me how the Advanced Org for the CONTINENT of Africa serves exclusively the tiny minority of the citizenry who are white. The photos of the graduates below are not cherry-picked. They are what is attached to the email of the "latest AOSH Africa completions." It is the same every time they send these out. Of course, dianetics and scientology from the outset have been white-centric (probably not a word, but it seems appropriate). Just look at the earliest photos of dianeticists and scientologists gathered anywhere and … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard Racist Statements
A very revealing collection of Hubbard quotes from the wonderful Scientology 101 website. If you have never read the article at the Home page of this site "Scientology 101" I very much recommend it. It is a brilliant summary of MANY aspects of scientology. I mentioned in my post of yesterday Scientology Targeting Black America that I would provide this collection today. I also note that many of these quotes come from a time when statements such as these were far more acceptable and commonplace, but that does not change the fact that society was more overtly racist then. You will note, … [Read more...]
Ryan Hogarth Steps Forward
The disintegration of the Radical Church in South Africa is rolling forward at a rapid clip. The Sea Org Missionaires sent to try and regain control of the train that left the station are doing their best imitation of kamikaze pilots as they head straight down and vertical in a spectacular suicide mission. Not only did they arrive with a bang and declare 18 prominent OTs and field Opinion Leaders (including the biggest supporters of the Ideal Orgs in South Africa) they are now conducting a witch hunt "Comm Ev" that is soliciting rumors and "declaring" the next round of those who are not in … [Read more...]
Wendy Bowman — of the “Joburg 18” — Tells Her Story
The South African Scientology field is being treated to some history lessons from some of its most illustrious members. While the church is busily trying to black PR the Joburg 18, they are simply sending out their stories. Anyone with half a brain can read this and the letter from Gaye Corbett and know without a shadow of a doubt "This is no SP, in fact, if someone declared her and her husband they are either insane or a sociopath." Thank you for standing tall Wendy and all the rest of the Joburg 18 and friends. There was an old term "Founding Scientologist" reserved for those who had … [Read more...]
The Corbetts Ideal Org Rape
I know many readers here have taken to following the new "African Scientologists Getting Back In Comm" blog. There is a post there today that everyone should read. "Here is their story: Ernest and Gaye Corbett" is perhaps the most damning expose of what is so wrong with the "Ideal Org Program" that has yet to see the light of day. And it comes from two people who were, for many years, without question THE single biggest supporters of the church and the Ideal Org Program in South Africa. The lies and strong arm tactics employed against them are described in some detail. THIS is supposed … [Read more...]
