What would encourage you to return to the official Church of Scientology? Sorry no changes in management but perhaps some kind of amicable agreement.
I'm not a staff member. I've been away from full time involvement since 1986 and have decided to continue with auditing and training (some of which was paid up for in 1973).
Answer Dear Ernest, First of all it is not the "Church of Scientology of California" as incorporated by LRH a long time ago. It is the Church of Scientology International and by its own corporate description says,"The Scientology Religion is BASED on the works of L. RON Hubbard". It is not the EXACT works un-fooled around with. There are many lectures and documents that were altered over the years, which results in watered down versions of the subject. Being "BASED ON THE WORKS OF LRH..." legally speaking, they can change or alter anything the want to, thus violating the policies "Keeping Scientology Working", "Technical Degrades" and others. There are lectures where hundreds of words were taken out, thus losing his full intentions of what he wanted us to know and use. After he died, they also copywrote the name L. RON HUBBARD and have written policies and put his name on them claiming that they "found" them later. There were also technical bulletins that were re-written or "revised" with out the changes being noted in italic style type, as this is important and something LRH always did. The reality is simple and quite amicable as explained by LRH in the Professional Auditors Bulletin No. 112 written on the 15th of May 1957 "THE RIGHTS OF THE FIELD AUDITOR" POINTS "7.TO RESPECT FOR HIS TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. 8.TO RESPECT FOR HIS CERTIFICATES. 9.TO HAVE AND TO HOLD HIS CERTIFICATES WITHOUT CANCELLATION BY ANYONE FOREVER." LRH Ron knew that he had to do this because if suppressive elements ever took over the church that they could go around and cancel all the auditors certificates and stop auditing. Now the current church has parishioners sign away their rights and have cancelled certs on auditors in the field. That is not what LRH's intentions were. I know that the majority of people around 80% of the current members of the church are good decent people and are doing a great job with what they have. But there are around 2.5% of them who are insane. That would not be too bad if they were in the lower strata of the church with little or no power but they are in the upper management. They were very clever in their take over and have really did a good job of "hood-winking" a lot of parishioners. Time will prove this out. But let it be written and let it be said that I have gotten all I ever wanted (spiritually speaking) from the subject of Scientology. I enjoyed the majority of time I worked for LRH he was indeed a great mentor. If you are truly achieving the exact goals you have for yourself within the current church I wish you well. Just make sure they are really your goals. There is a lot more to this than I care to share at this time. I hope the church does achieve the original goals LRH had set for it. I hope I have answered your questions. Sincerely, Jay
