Church of Scientology Crumbling? Who get the credit?
If you live under the rock, let me tell you that Mark Rathbun, the No. 2 Scientologist who left the church in 2004, has been making the move to overturn David Miscavige. To show his connections, this is the picture he posted for the coming 25 IAS event. This is what you will see in DVD's all over the world after the event, unless Miscavige changes all that preparation overnight.He is making the biggest wave so far, because any Scientologist who do not like the way the church is being run will want to sacrifice Miscavige as the scape goat. He is getting support from all the Scientologists still in the church, who still believe in LR Hubbard's Scientology, but not the way the Church is run.
This picture will send a shiver to Miscavige, his top SP's who still believe in Scientology, including Rathbun himself, Mike Rinder, OT VIII. Rathbun urges Scientologists to declare independence from the Church, called his inner circle the "Untouchables", and flew around the country to "protect" people threaten by OSA's. More of their "friends" are listed here.I don't see how the Church can get rid of Miscavige, unless he is convicted of crimes or he fled himself. So it's more likely that the Church is dismantled in it's current structure, and Rathbun appear as the top guy in the new organization.
I don't think Rathbun's only agenda is to reform the church, or to revenge, otherwise he could have spoken out in 2004 when he left, or at the height of the Anonymous worldwide protests last year, just like many other critics. His perfect timing shows that he wants the Church for himself. Though it will be a very different Church.
I doubt if they will keep the word "Church". For the moment, they are calling themselves Taiwan Independents, if they are in Taiwan for example. But this will risk losing their tax exemption status. This will not matter a lot since there will not be a lot of money involved. His pals are considering open source LRH tech. This is inevitable since almost all LRH materials are available on Wikileaks now.
I think Rathbun wants something more than the current Free Zone, otherwise he will consider himself another Free Zoner. You need to keep some big centralized organizations to charge big money for advance services.
I will applaud Rathbun and watch him doing his work to get rid of Miscavige, dismantling the Church along the way. I have no problem with people still believing in Scientology, and they should have no problem for me continue to criticize LRH when and where I want. The Fair Game policy wasn't written by Miscavige, and many heros and heroines went down well before Miscavige's time.
It will be silly for Rathbun to keep something like OSA, other than something like voluntary police, only being called to service when there are emergencies when the real police cannot deal with it fast enough. The front groups and PR machine should be eliminated, concentrating on delivering services instead. Otherwise, the old critics will be still there doing the same jobs since the birth of Scientology. As for "Anonymous", those currently at it are not going to go away. Without a name they cannot be brought off or scared off. And they will not reveal themselves until OSA is completely gone. Many more old Anonymous will be back for the fight given enough rest for a year or two, or when they finish college, get a job, start a family, when their kids grow up, or retire.
I'm sure Rathbun will get a lot of the glory, but who cares? He has enough blood on his hands so he may not be around to be No. 1 for long. I think he knows enough LRH's and Miscavige's dark secrets that Miscavige cannot bring him down without bringing down himself.
Without Anonymous, Rathbun will be silenced just like anybody else before him. His perfect timing of speaking out is acknowledging the work of Anonymous. At the time, large and small media are willing to speak against or joke about Scientology without fear. The top Scientology lawyer Moxon looks like a moron. Before Anonymous you may be jailed in Riverside County, where the Church's worldwide headquarter is, for making jokes about Scientology. Now the pro-Scientology county supervisor is being bombarded on live TV at many county meetings, resorting to leaving his seat when critics speak. Celebrities and politicians would not have anything to do with Scientology (not totally true but soon and for the rest of the time track).
Notice that the latest OT VIII's said they started to look critically at the Church for a year or two, meaning that Anonymous did successfully put Scientology on the spotlight, and caused all the bad PR's.
As for who triggered Anonymous, it remains a mystery. But certainly for once I believe that the Church pulled it in. The mass response to the Church's tactics is totally natural. At this age who will want to suppress a video for a laugh? The Church is inviting people to publish their secret scriptures in response. If people can't do anything on the Internet, they will go on the streets to get back at them. If scary people take your pictures during protests in a free country, you will fight until they are completely dismantled.
As for the old guards, the old critics, they will not be forgotten. They provided the ammunition, Anonymous just fire or throw at the Church whatever they can get on their hands. Many old guards are purely inspirational. Armstrong, LRH's bibliographer who knew too much, was being fair gamed to nothing. At his age he still goes to protests regularly. Cooper, who still read the boards and give out signed copies of her old book. Graham, who was being fair gamed to less than nothing - the Church wouldn't let his bankruptcy to get through. Any money he gets the Church still has claim on it. Ida who lost his son for 30 years, approaching 90 and still go to protests on occasions, and welcomes protesters and critics to her home close to Miscaviage's.
And of course the fallen - who can forget Lisa McPherson, proving Scientology is not THE solution. And Lawnsdale, who was being fair gamed to death. He is out of work, but the Church post his minor crime history on every shop in Clearwater, to make sure that he remains that way. He changed from a highly active critic with too much time on his hand, to taking his own life apparently.
Who wants a Church like that?

湯哥 讓女兒受天主教教育
不過據「每日郵報」報導，阿湯哥與凱蒂荷姆絲才為了蘇蕊上幼稚園的事有些爭執，最後阿湯哥終於同意讓蘇蕊進入波士頓的天主教幼稚園就讀。
凱蒂荷姆絲五個月沒有在山達基教會露面。http://bit.ly/15zGdz

OT VIII 頂級山達基人紛紛脫離教會
近日有三位 OT VIII 脫離教會，不但宣布成為獨立山達基人，並且批評教會，連結有他們詳細的意見。
Geir Isene，New OT VIII，挪威人，入教25年。經過2年廣泛研究，決定離開教會。
IAS 快來了，祝你們好運。他們聰明，IAS 前夕跑了。
Geir Isene，New OT VIII，挪威人，入教25年。經過2年廣泛研究，決定離開教會。
現時主管人員並不實行山達基的教導，造成極大規模的不良公關，他們是壓制者。Mary Jo Leavitt, New OT VIII，OT 大使負責整個拉丁美洲。2年來寫了知識報告(Knowledge Reports)給教主，但沒答復，決定離開教會。
理想機體(Ideal Org)、國際山達基人協會(IAS)、基本(Basics)通通變成瘋狂的籌款工具，山達基人員只顧籌款，忽視傳播戴尼提和其他服務。Sherry Katz, New OT VIII，入教36年，IV級聽析員，旗艦OT委員13年，捐款4萬美元給加州帕薩迪納的理想機構。 曾經寫了廣泛的知識報告，最後決定離開教會。
幾個月來，直到大約3個月前，晝夜有電話來，有時直到凌晨1時，要求銷售基礎(Basics)。我個人每日接到電話大約5個或更多，甚至在我的手機接到電話，那號碼我只給少數的個別工作人員，並不公開的。有許多山達基人感到不高興，一些人實際上改了他們的電話號碼，其他人則生氣，有的根本不理會電話响。現時已經有七百多人，不只是脫離教會，還正式公開批評教會，有的不再信教，但有的只是反對教會的主管人員，有很多OT，還包括二教主馬克．拉思，在宗教技術中心(RTC)的地位只在教主大衛．密斯凱維吉,之下。名單在這兒。
IAS 快來了，祝你們好運。他們聰明，IAS 前夕跑了。

無毒世界基金會真相
無毒世界基金會 (Foundation for a Drug-Free World) 出版的物品有「毒品的真相」DVD 和小冊子，網站上說可以免費獲取，但沒有直接下載的檔案。在台灣，那可拿育成顧問社發起捐款運動，使所有學校可以獲取DVD。那可拿和山達基同是羅恩賀伯特創立的，有同樣的課程和技術。
無毒世界基金會是山達基教的「表面機構」(Front Organization)。前總裁 Lidia Dinges、Keith Code 等是高級運作中的精神個體。在山達基的官方網站上，反毒是教會的主要運動之一，是通過無毒世界推行。
2008年，在新墨西哥州的拉斯克魯塞斯市，市長取消了在市立小學舉行的「無毒執行官計劃」(Drug-Free Marshal Program)，因為他發覺小冊子的版權是屬於無毒世界基金會和其它兩個山達基教會的表面組織，他說市立學校不是傳教的地方。[1]
2009年，加州格倫代爾市的一位老師說，他們現時收到由無毒世界發出的大量郵件，宣傳反毒並邀請捐款。他認為無毒世界不應該隱藏與山達基的聯繫，教會也應該尊重國教分離的憲法，國立學校不是教會活動的地方。 [2]
2009年，「毒品的真相」小冊子裡面提到「人道主義者」羅恩賀伯特，並寫道：「染上毒癮，也有真正的答案。那可拿是一個戒毒計劃，利用羅恩賀伯特的方法，成功率超過75％ ......」 [3][4]
很明顯，「毒品的真相」是幫助宣傳山達基創立者的聲譽，加上沒有歷史根據的含糊稱號。 並替那可拿的昂貴戒毒課程賣廣告，這課程是賀伯特機構的主要收入之一，三個月的課程收費可高達三萬美元。
山達基的反毒宣導，是根據創立者羅恩賀伯特的理論，也用於他所創立的國際那可拿戒毒機構，在台灣注冊爲新生活教育中心。早於2005年，加州教育廳對那可拿反毒教育進行評估，結論是其課程提供不準確和不科學的資料，例如少量毒品是興奮劑，較大量是麻藥，過量會死亡。
2008 美國新墨西哥大學：沒有數據支持成功率，不乎合原定的運作方式。[12]
2008 挪威衛生局：在各大醫學圖書館搜索，只有一個類似實驗性的考查，和五個非實驗性的考查，不能證明那可拿的效用。[13]
1996 瑞典國家衛生和福利委員會：沒有任何文件顯示，賀伯特的方法符合科學的標準和醫療經驗，並不應該用在瑞典的醫療服務。 [14]
1991 美國俄克拉何馬州心理健康委員會：認為那可拿的治療做法，是不安全和無效。[15]
1980 德國西柏林市政府：確定低成功率（最多10％），和發現許多問題，包括利用山達基的做法，如心靈電儀表。[16]

監督傑克奧康內爾因此敦促所有加州學校禁止那可拿反毒教育計劃[5] 。加州醫學協會宣布一致支持 [6] 。基於加州評估報告，夏威夷及數州的教育官員沒有允許那可拿進入公立學校 [7] 。報告全文在加州教育廳的網站[8]。 相關新聞記載在此網站[9]。
山達基/那可拿反毒宣導包括介紹情緒等級表[10]，在2007年的山達基教會基礎版本《生存的科學》裏( Basics edition of Science of Survival)， 山達基創立者羅恩賀伯特教導怎樣在一個山達基世界裡，處理少數剩下來的非山達基人，他寫道：「處理在情緒等級表2. 0以下的人，只有兩個答案，無論是那一個，並不是與他們理論，也不是聽取他們辯護其行為。 ...... 另一個是靜靜地、沒有悲傷地、把他們除掉。」
就是山達基肯修改，也難阻止學生、青少年跟進山達基/那可拿網站[11]，除了非科學資料之外，亦充滿山達基教會的鏈結，若是負責人認為宣導可以在校園進行，也應該事先得家長同意。

至於那可拿戒毒的成績，國際上的官方調查報告，除了否定75%的成功率之外，是否安全、有效，也不能肯定。
