    The previous protests were poorly organised, tiny and disperced quickly. These protests will fare no better.

    Anyone else notice the Anti-Drug posters about the place? When i first saw it, even though it didn't say Scientology i kind of guessed it was them. Then recently i was working along Tottenham Court Road and saw them use the false pretense of Anti-Drugs/Drugs will harm you as their new scam to bring people in.

    It makes sense if you consider that teenagers, while not generally able to offer a great deal of money or material assets, generally can offer an enormous amount of *labor*...

    They want any money the teens will inherit once their parents die off. Scientology is patient like that.

    WHAT IS THE SECRET THAT THE “ANTI-GOD CULT” CALLED “SCIENTOLOGY” FEARS THE MOST FROM BEING EXPOSED?

    The secret most un-exposed about Scientology is that is it an “applied physiological philosophy” rather than an “applied religious philosophy”. All Scientology courses, all auditing processes, and all the management and professional courses are based on physiological phenomenas, psychophysiology, emotions, human behavior patterns etc., that are our birth right and used in Scientology as their own discoveries. Even their PTS-SP data is based upon how a “Symptom” re-stimulation is brought out by physiological reactions of the mind affecting the body when under stress. They blame innocent human beings called by them “suppressive persons” for bringing out a symptom that was there to warn you of hidden real illnesses caused by non-suppressive sources such as parasites, chemicals, poisons, toxins, viruses and bacteria. The data on PTS-SP is twisted by them to blame innocent people in order to keep them in line.

    The only way to fight them is to expose to the world--how Scientology has used physiological phenomenas as the basis for a false religion. How it has harmed families by claiming that innocent mothers and fathers are SPs -- when they lied about symptom re-stimulations to the world.

    No where in Scientology will you find courses or services on any bible, there is no study or belief in heaven, hell, saints, angels, the devil, or even God himself. They do not study religion or even believe in religions. They do not share common values with any other religion. Their goal is to eliminate all other religions.

    The E-meter reads your physiological reactions, the Ronbots never calls it that—they call it the “CHARGE” or the “MASS” or “ENGRAMS” OR “MENTAL IMAGE PICTURES” that you have in your brain—all meant to distract you from the truth.

    Know this fact --- There is a law of Nature or law of God called “Physiological Reactions” that is the true secret behind Scientology’s Dianectic study technology.

    AUDITING ERASES AND LESSONS YOUR PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS!!! Once they are gone – your symptoms can’t be re-stimulated by stress or arguments. This is NOT a good thing, because ALL doctors depend on symptoms to guide them in treating you! This is why they prohibit you from seeing the doctors of your choice!!! Understand now how the scam works? Now when you argue with your mother and don’t get sick – you think she was the cause of all your illnesses.

    If you were audited a hundred times (repeated) for a word that you were ordered to never clear or understand, and then made to read a page that contained that word—it would never again read on the Emeter or cause a physiological reaction.

    Both Psychiatry and Scientology treats the symptoms of the mind and not the real causes of mental illnesses, one with drugs and one with erasing physiological reactions called Engrams or mental image pictures! Which one is worst? Drugs you can stop, but the other is irreversible and also a dangerous and deadly scam.

    With the knowledge contained here, psychiatry will defeat $cientology easily.

    LRH discovered that when you passed a misunderstood word—you manifested many reactions of various types: Yawning, sleepiness, not there feeling, dizziness, blurry eyes, nervousness and dozens more.

    Being the liar that he was, he claimed that physiological reactions which he now calls “Dianetics” was “‘his” invention and not a law of God; he hid the fact that it is our human inheritance since time began.

    Granted that his power of obnosis (observation) was the best in the world, his crime against humanity was to make a “religion” based upon the falsehood, that it was his very own invention or creation and not a law of God belonging to all Humanity as their lawful right.

    For proof that the Cult has lied to you: -- Google “L. Ron Hubbard and Physiological Reactions” or visit their own Godless websites:

    http://www.studytechnology.org/10-barr.htm or http://www.lronhubbardstudytech.asn.au/10-barr.htm http://www.studytech.org/study_tech3.php

    http://www.effective-education.org/pg003.html

    LRH used God’s Natural laws to make slaves of mankind!

    “So long as a physiological phenomenon remains the knowledge of a few and is denied to the many it can be utilized to control the many.” LRH (from Journal of Scientology Issue 4-G from Oct. 1952)

    “This universe has long been looking for new ways to make slaves. Well, we've got some new ways to make slaves here.” LRH (from PDC tape lecture #20 “Formative State of Scientology, Definition of Logic”, given on 6 Dec 52)

    "All men shall be my slaves! LRH

    All women shall submit to my charms! LRH

    All mankind shall grovel at my feet and not know why!" [L. Ron Hubbard, "Affirmations", late 1940s] Affirmations, exhibits 500-4D, E, F & G. See Church of Scientology v Armstrong, transcript volume 11, p.1886.

    "Somebody some day will say 'this is illegal'.

    By then be sure the orgs say what is legal or not."

    L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 4 January 1966

    "THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM”. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them." - L. Ron Hubbard, "Off the Time Track," lecture of June 1952, excerpted in JOURNAL OF SCIENTOLOGY issue 18-G, reprinted in TECHNICAL VOLUMES OF DIANETICS & SCIENTOLOGY, vol. 1, p. 418

    "Scientology...is not a religion." - L. Ron Hubbard, CREATION OF HUMAN ABILITY, 1954, p. 251

    All living beings have physiological (The functions and activities of life or of living matter such as the organic processes of organs, tissues, or cells) phenomenas (observable reactions known through the senses rather than by thought or intuition), or physical manifestations (made evident by showing or displaying) or physical reactions, that we see or feel as symptoms, and they are external and/or internal or visible signs or warnings given to us, by our creator to help us survive, help us increase our potential, our knowledge and our health.

    All life on Earth has these cause and effect reactions called physiological phenomenas. All living beings whether they are plant, insect, retile or animal or human could not live without these reactions. They influence the body’s and the mind’s reactions to any form of stimuli, and have an influence on every cell of the body and mind.

    [Noun. Physiological reaction – Is an automatic instinctive unlearned reaction to a stimulus.]

    [Examples of physiological reactions: inborn reflex, innate reflex, instinctive reflex, reflex response, unconditioned reflex, accommodation reflex, Babinski reflex, belching, headache, migraines, swelling, sweating, erections, blinking, blushing, burping, defecation reflex, disgorgement, involuntary eye blinking, farting, skin flush, gag reflex, goose bump, goose pimple, gooseflesh, involuntary gulping, involuntary hiccup, knee-jerk reflex, light reflex, puking, papillary reflex, rectal reflex, regurgitation, shaking, shiver, shock, sneezing, startle, stretch reflex, suckling reflex, trembling, upset stomach, vomiting, involuntary winking, yawn, yawning -- plus hundreds more.]

    Ron studied Physiological reactions more than most scientists and applied it to invent a new Religion.

    He did not invent but copied the laws of nature and scammed the whole world into thinking that he alone discovered these reactions and no one else did. What he did do - was noticed the reactions of students and from this scam invented Dianetics “study tech”.

    Examples of Physiological reactions of the body and mind when reading:

    Falling asleep while reading - yawning, confusion, feeling blank, feeling anxious, not there feeling, tearing eyes, eyes going out of focus, dizziness, reeling, rebelliousness, headaches, skipping words, feeling nauseous, fidgeting, jumpy while reading, can’t stay still, mispronouncing words, feeling as if you are squashed, feeling as if you are over-whelmed, twitching, can’t apply what you are reading, can’t understand what you are reading, etc. are all due to physiological reactions when you read misunderstood words or misunderstood definitions.

    To understand the secrets of your enemy –is to know exactly where to hurt him.

    Scientology’s copyrighted files on based upon the laws of Nature and laws of God; they are in violation of copyrights and patent rights. Therefore, the contents or subjects can be used by anyone and can be talked about without fear of any lawsuit.

    Everything you do produces a reaction in your body and mind. Every time you read, eat, sleep, rest, run, etc. produces a reaction.

    To tell your mother that you invented a new religion, because you discovered why you farted, is a good example of the scam that Ron pulled on you. He got away with it because the world did not see these reactions as they applied to reading. Or if some scientist saw and knew it—he did not protest it and allowed a Cult to claim it as their own new discovery.

    If you want to destroy the cult, study your own reactions each time you do something—learn to read yourself and use your own power of obnosis to discover the real world within you.

    towards the 'Big Secret thingy'

    not quite sure if you are pro or anti - does it matter.

    Perhaps, you are a spin off group - bit like Christianity someone forked that religion a bit early on.

    Isn't John Travolta in Scientology, he was in some good movies - Satruday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction, Swordfish.

    Do you need Gods for a religion - well maybe, maybe not, depends upon one's defiinition of a God.

    Oh lordy lordy - I do hope people realise that actually most of psychology comes from the wandering illusionists of feudal Japanese time, most of them were put to death after either using hallucinogenics or psychological trickery on their crowds. All of it is known and has been for ages. Not many new things in the world anymore, well apart from technology, all the other disciplines have been done to death.

    Not many rights reserved on this little ditty - though as always never accepting any liability.

    "disperced" - Scientology study tech in action. ABigSmurf, you spelt this word incorrectly because you had misunderstoods; you need to word clear "poorly", "organised" and "tiny" because you have applied them inappropriately, resulting in your failure to spell dispersed correctly.

    Your failure to understand the protests, how they work and what their goals are suggests your on too steep a gradient. You have also failed to understand the symbolism of pedobear.

    Also not just money and work but also power, the hand that rocks the cradle and all that.

    What Scientology really, really wants (and needs) is to be accepted as legitimate, if a whole generation accept Scientology as a real church (even if they don't themselves believe in Scientology) then the job is pretty much done.

    I will bet anything you like that virtually all accepted religions, if not actually all of them started out this way.

    Heaven, God *are* in Scn documents

    "No where in Scientology will you find ... belief in heaven ... or even God himself."

    With respect, rubbish.

    Hubbard reported that he had actually visited heaven on two occasions, for the first time "43,891,832,611,177 years, 344 days, 10 hours, 20 minutes and 40 seconds from 10:02½ PM Daylight Greenwich Time May 9, 1963", and on his second visit remarked that it was basically going downhill: "The place is shabby. The vegetation is gone. The pillars are scruffy."

    As for God, "Source is the 8th Dynamic" - the ulimate revelation of Scientology - basically states that Hubbard himself is God.

    These people, like all religions, should be out of the classroom (except, of course, when being studied in a comparative religion course).

    As for the IT connection, they did once try to sue Usenet, so they are the IT crowd's cult of choice, scrutiny-wise.

    The sooner we kill off scientology and it's vile organisation the better. Perhaps when we've dealt with capricious pseudo religions we can start on the real thing.

    Religion and blind faith in anything is stupid. A little enlightenment please. We do not need these outmoded non-ideas to live and be good people. The sooner our whole planet is secular, the sooner we can get down to the business of actually progressing as a species and not being held back by dogmatic idiots and men in dresses (by which I mean priests/imams/rabbis etc, I have nothing against transvestites).

    It takes one to be one

    I would hazard a guess and say that people who get taken in by cults [especially these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_suicide] are people who are already slightly messed up in their various ways. They will be people who either need help or think they need help when someone steps into their life and says 'follow me and you will end your pain' or whatever...

    I went to a cousins wedding once and two of the guests introduced themselves to my mother as her Parents, my mum was obviously a bit confused as they definitely weren't. It turned out they were here 'church parents'. She has since become a missionary in Siberia or something (why??) and we rarely hear from her except occasional letters to say she has found god... (She did have a hard life when a teen, suffering from severe anorexia and probably slight depression, this is when someone stepped in and helped her 'find god' and her new 'parents'.)
