人權領袖及奧斯卡導演退出山達基教會

當山達基信徒已35年的保羅.海吉斯(Paul Haggis),寫信給教會發言人湯米.戴維斯(Tommy Davis ),聲明退出該教會。

海吉斯曾以「衝擊效應」(Crash)與「登峰造擊」(Million Dollar Baby)影片連續兩度獲奧斯卡獎。他爲兩片撰寫劇本,並是後者導演。他也製作了很多著名的影片和電視劇本,例如「007量子危機」(Quantum of Solace)和「皇家夜總會」(Casino Royale)。

海吉斯是公民權和人權領袖,慈善機構創辦人,及積極支持者。

聖地牙哥山達基教會支持禁止同性戀結婚的第8號提案,海吉斯身爲人權領袖不可以接受,並質問戴維斯,何以未發表聲明駁斥。戴維斯同意鄭重追究,但教會數月來也沒有行動。海吉斯在信中寫道:「山達基拒絕駁斥這些偏執、虛偽的言論,是懦夫的表現。我別無其他文字形容。」

戴維斯在電視上否認「斷絕」的存在,海吉斯看到後感覺到震驚,因為他知道這是謊話,他的妻子被教會指令切斷與父母的關係,一年半以上沒有講過話,只因為他們多年前退出教會。

海吉斯看到戴維斯這麼容易說謊,不禁問自己,他還說了什麼謊?

關於聖彼得堡時報的山達基特輯報道,揭露教會主席大衛.密斯凱維吉的暴行,時常毒打下屬,海吉斯說:「這些不是外人發掘骯髒事來對付我們,這些人是最高級的主管人員,差點兒把一生奉獻給教會,麥克.雲特更是當了教會的首席發言人20年。當你們把懺悔的隱私公開,用來攻擊這些主管人員,我感覺到真正不安,別的牧師情願入獄也保守秘密。」

山達基教會通過中央社發出新聞稿回應,表示不採取任何政治立場,而是追求人權自由。事實上,教會花了很多人力和財力尋求政治勢力,例如創立美國國家婦女立法人金會,推行有利教會的法例。教會的所謂人權運動,等於毀滅精神科,以聯合國宣言做主題的表面機構—青少年人權協會—並不是聯合國承認的非政府機構,也不歡迎用聯合國場地搞活動。

羅恩賀伯特在戴尼提寫道:
「性變態者(在戴尼提包括一切形式,第二動力的偏差,例如同性戀、性虐待狂等)實際上是嚴重的生理病。」(在山達基的信仰,第二動力包括性行為。)
"The sexual pervert (and by this term Dianetics, to be brief, includes any and all forms of deviation in dynamic two such as homosexuality, lesbianism, sexual sadism, etc., and all down the catalog of Ellis and Krafft-Ebing) is actually quite ill physically."
羅恩賀伯特認爲這些偏差錯亂的人應當從中社會盡快拔除,並關起來,避免不道德的傳染,和品格的毀壞 —《生存的科學》,第一冊,第十三章。

+ = complicity in the illegal exercise of pharmacy 非法配藥共謀
~ = illegal exercise of pharmacy 非法配藥
& = ordered to publish judgment in newspaper 法庭指令在各大報章和山達基網站刊登判決

山達基教會和教會領導人在法國被控詐騙脆弱會員,兩個分支機構 — 名人中心(Celebrity Center)和一家書店(SEL),被控在1990年代敲詐會員財物。

跟過去裁判不同,這次是包括了有組織性詐欺,因此機構及領導人也有罪! 以下人士,請慶祝你們在台灣,不是法國:李美足、吳英辰、薛智元、陳海倫、Evan Lee (想也供應了不少維他命)、淨化程式監督們、擦爆卡天使們。

以後法國山達基便是由罪犯領導的犯罪機構,羅恩賀伯特的教導是不可以更改的。

弄死多人的淨化程式成為非法,不可以成為清新者,橋斷了! 什麼排毒、戒毒機構也要關門了。

為了法國山達基人相信教會和領導人有罪,教會除了在各大報章刊登判決之外,還要在山達基網站刊登,法官太了解山達基人了! 可是山達基必然上訴,要等候敗訴才可以看到刊登了的判決,但上訴相等於自動加罰款,上訴的律師費和公關費比這次罰款高丫!你們的捐款就是這樣花了。

雖然沒有禁止山達基團體在法國活動,但是內裏大有文章。檢控處建議不檢控,因為法官堅持,審訊才可以進行。檢控官原本的要求包括徹底禁止山達基活動,但他也不知道法例被靜靜地更改了,不可以因為組織性詐欺而禁止機構的活動。此事被發現時大眾嘩然,立刻被更正及展開調查,但來不及應用在這個審訊,罪名成立也不能禁止山達基。

本人對這個判決很滿意。法國法庭在過去的山達基審訊中,多次發生文件失縱事件,很明顯法庭行政被滲透了,猶如過去美國的白雪行動,山達基大規模滲透美國政府各機關,包括聯邦調查局。

Knowing what to know

Someone made up the phrase "knowing what to know" in response to LRH's study tech - learning how to learn.

Even if study tech is not bad, you will forever be stuck in the high school, secondary school stage, where you are told what to learn, all the way to OT VIII, if you were in Scientology. In university, you are supposed to develop critical thinking skills, without explicitly written on the curricula. Knowledge is unlimited, and knowing is not the ultimate aim, but knowing what to know is, meaning having the ability to think critically.

This is inline with ancient Chinese philosophy:學海無崖......有崖隨無崖,殆已。

In science, mathematics, logic, theories and observations help to develop thinking skills. Post graduate studies will end up in Doctor of Philosophy - the school of thought. It's similar in arts, where you pick your supporting evidences to get to your conclusions. Also, many arts students take minor courses in philosophy and psychology, understanding how people think.

LRH is successful for training people not to think for themselves. All news released from the Church is true. And all negative news from major newspapers are lies. It just can't be true. If the anti-Scientology camp are that powerful in controlling all media, they are better off appointing politicians and presidents via public opinion. The Church of Scientology would have lost their tax exempt status and even being banned altogether.

Paul Haggis has deflected from the Church. He is a very famous screen writer and director, having won multiple Oscars, responsible for the most recent Jame Bones scripts. From his letter, it's obvious that if Scientologists just start thinking, Scientology or just the Church will collapse. He reasoned that even if a fraction of the church's reported abuse is true, it is not tolerable for him.

He asked if the CoS San Diego is openly supporting proposition 8, an anti-gay legislation. He received no reply. For a true Civil and Human Rights activists, he cannot be a part of it by remaining in Scientology.

He also spotted that Tommy Davis is lying on TV, when he said that disconnection do not exist. Paul's wife was disconnected from her father for trivial matters.

There is no surprise that
