Australian Scientologist quits in disgust at evil activities with the cult. He refuses to be a member any longer this dangerous and greedy group. Too many human rights abuses.
May, 1991, The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power.
Scientology isn’t thriving any longer since this was written in 1991 but it is still plenty greedy. The story of Raul Lopez shows just how far they will go to fleece somebody.
http://www.lermanet.com/scientologynews/newtimes-lopez-swindle-12212000.htm.
Raul Lopez got $1.7 million bucks from an accident settlement. He didn’t keep it long once Scientology was on the scene. They picked him clean.
There is a good reason why there are far more ex-members than active one.
UK man finds out the hard way how the cult can take your money, your life and your loved ones.
Scientology responded: ”It is a nuisance, because it attempts to reopen something which was fully resolved in 2007. As far as we are concerned, it is in breach of the agreement Mr Craig made then. At a time when our church is enjoying unprecedented growth it is not unexpected that some disgruntled or self-serving individuals might seek to profit from our expansion, or for other reasons try to cause disruption.”
It would be hard to cram more lies into a single sentence. Unprecedented growth?? HaHaHa.
Scientology: how many cities have you "cleared" in the last 60 years? None?
Ariane Jackson was married to fellow Scientologist husband Albert Jaquier; a man who was a self-made millionaire. She was living in Switzerland with her French husband; Scientology of course being the center of their lives. In Scientology all roads eventually lead to Clearwater, FL where, after paying huge amounts of money, they are taught the upper level courses and get, supposedly, God like powers. Albert gave millions of dollars to the cult and loaned large sums of money to others. Eventually the cult had all his money and his fellow Scientologists refused to pay him back. He ended dying a premature death in sorrow and misery. The end result of this debacle came back to haunt the cult, Ariane denounced the cult on French TV. Recently, as of November, 2011, two of her daughters would tell their sad Scientology stories.
Albert Jaquier
“I was involved in Scientology for 17 years and I attained the highest available level, called “New OT8, Truth Revealed”. I was also trained as an “auditor” to “Class 6″ and I have studied the “technology” of “Class 12″. I was a staff member at Flag Service Organization, Inc. in Clearwater, Florida. My husband was involved for 20 years, attained “Clear” , was trained as an auditor and was also on staff. My ex-husband was involved for 14 years, attained “OT7, Cause over Life”, gave his fortune of several million dollars to Scientology and died at the age of 59, within days of being audited at Flag!”
Scientology is always saying that they will bring sanity to the world. How does that translate in everyday life?
“The effects of Scientology on my life as a wife and mother, including two divorces, a husband (to whom I was married before the ex-husband already mentioned) who was persuaded by auditing that he was Jesus Christ reincarnated and could perform miracles but could not keep a job to support our three young children. How I allowed my children to be taken from me.
My husband and I, during the period of our involvement, had a total of 4 divorces and 5 marriages with 6 children involved. To prove this problem is not confined to just my husband and I, a review of the marital experiences of all my ex-husbands and his ex-wives gives totals as follows: for 6 Scientologists, 9 divorces, 11 marriages and 13 children with broken homes. Of these 6 people only 3 are currently married; my husband and myself are two of them. Only two marriages have survived and one of them is mine. (I have just heard that my 16 year old daughter, who is at the cult’s center in East Grinstead, England, is MARRIED!) This is the result of the cult’s “technology” for resolving marital problems.”
Two of Ariane’s children have been in the news recently. One of them, Valeska Paris, was held a prisoner on a Scientology ship for 12 years.

Clear the Planet?? Nope, all they have done is clear bank accounts.

“Dr. Shannon in her short time in the Sea Org (really should be ‘sales org’)says this about her time on staff:
“I was told that my husband and I would always have the same schedule, that we could eat together, and have the same days off. Another lie. We had ONE day off together in the 3 months we were there.
The screaming, foul language, and invalidation, caused a general unease in the area that was so thick you could cut it with a knife. People in the SO have very low morale. They can’t trust each other. They won’t help each other. Once the Board I/C, Geary Titus, actually STOMPED on my feet when I was new, and trying to look at the availability of auditing rooms for my public to use.
The main method used to control the staff in the FSO is intimidation, threats, and invalidation.”
Scientology has the oldest addiction of them all: greed for money.

Patty (Pieniadz) Moher was in ED of a state Narconon program and also a Scientologist for 27 years. Narconon tries to pretend that it is not a Scientology front group but the links have been exposed many times in the past. It is just another hoax that the cult uses to make money.
Here is a very telling interview about Narconon done in Canada. Patty is able to make some very hard-hitting comments about just what a farce Scientology is and why Narconon cannot be called Scientific in any manner.

Diana Voegeding was sent to the internal prison system of Scientology. She would have been treated much better in a US fedral prison than this hell hole in the desert. The great humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard left this as one of his great gifts to mankind. Diana’a story is a compelling one and the kind of story too often found when researching this nasty cult.

Yolanda was lied to by the SO recruiter about living and working conditions for staff members. She got a rude awakening. Read for yourself what pig stys berthing quarters are and how they are jammed into such places like sardines. All of this in a cult with close to a billion dollars in bank accounts. Ever wonder how they got it? One way was to treat staffers like they were dirt and never spend money on them.
Hubbard, just another tired looking old man.

Scientologist member Michael Tilst traveled to San Luis Obispo, California to read for himself the documents concerning Hubbard’s death. He read the ME’s report about drugs found in Hubbard’s body. Hubbard’s life was a lie, an invention puffed up to make him money. And OT III was nothing more than Science fiction drivel.
There is very little happiness in Scientology

Laura DeCrescenzo (aka Laura Dieckman) tells a reporter about forced abortions in Scientology and the lies that got her there in the first place. This is not the first time the subject of forced abortions in the SO has come up. Little Davie thinks kids are a distraction and detract from the slaves production time.
