Critical Information about Scientology
[Salvaged from
archive.org]
Welcome to the Canadian Scientology
critical information webpage. I host several other webpages
about Scientology, but with all the information out there
about this brainwashing cult that I used to be a member of
in Vancouver, BC, from 1988 to 1989, the time has come to
specialize and focus on one aspect or area of the complex
global issue of Scientology. [...]
Martin Hunt, why are you
on alt.religion.scientology?
Scientology is, as I know it to be based on my
experience, an empty organization, devoid of spirituality, cold,
and utterly ruthless. I
was ordered to disconnect from my family, which I refused to do.
I was ordered to stay at my post and work through Christmas,
which I also refused to do. I began to see that the
organization did not live up to its many promises of improvement
of people; I myself was not improved, and neither was anyone
else I saw in the organization. I asked Scientology's elite,
Operating Thetans, to show to me some of the powers they claimed
to have, and they failed miserably at this small task. Most "OTs",
as they are called, were elderly, sick, feeble, dying of cancer,
wore thick glasses, and were unimpressive to me, mentally,
physically, and spiritually. If the top of Scientology's "Bridge
to Total Freedom" looked so shabby, there was little hope for
myself or anyone else in the organization. In addition, my
superiors were, one and all, unremarkable people, given to fits
of rage, bouts of depression, and other behaviour that did not
fit in with L. Ron Hubbard's claims for his so-called "technology" and the
wunderkind it was meant to produce.
What is Scientology?
Scientology is a dangerous, mindbending cult that
was established in the 1950's by
Lafayette Ronald
Hubbard and presents a grave threat to the concepts
and tenets of freedom and democracy. Scientology has, as
its basic purpose, the destruction of freedom and the
erosion of human rights on the way to
making money; it
uses any means possible to achieve this end, including
legal harassment, verbal and
physical threats,
hiding under the cover of "religion", and thought reform so complete that to
talk to anyone brainwashed by the cult is to talk to little more than the
mouthed platitudes of mechanical zombies.
