Australian Senate not holding an inquiry into Scientology
The International Freezone Association Inc welcomes the Australian Senate decision not to hold an inquiry into Scientology. Such an inquiry would eventually end up as a witch hunt and be a precedent for further 'inquiries' into other religions.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PR Log (Press Release) - Mar 11, 2010 - The International Freezone Association Inc welcomes the Australian Senate decision not to hold an inquiry into Scientology.
Such an inquiry would eventually end up as a witch hunt and be a precedent for further 'inquiries' into other religions.
The religion of Scientology is not in question. The activities of the current church are.
The philosophy and religion of scientology is as far from the official church (consisting of the private nonprofit corporation called The Church of Spiritual Technology, the Religious Technology Center and the Church of Scientology International) as it is possible to be and still be on the same planet.
When Hubbard was alive the church did indeed practice the philosophy of scientology and helped many people to become more aware as beings. The philosophy was promoted and people were welcomed into the church. Families and family life was encouraged and promoted and the cost of the services were reasonable.
After his death, however, a new regime took over and all that changed. The emphasis turned to money to the exclusion of all else and a paranoiac obsession that anyone not with the church was against it. Church members were not allowed to look at the internet or anything the church management deemed contrary to church doctrine. Abuse of various kinds were, and to my understanding, still are, perpetrated against members still in the church. This is a classic case of violating the basic doctrines of the philosophy.
Many of the original followers that assisted Hubbard with his research were booted out. Scripts and books were changed and a very effective 1984 job has been done on the literature and the basic services the church was originally set up to offer by the founder are now at a standstill.
It is a misnomer to say that that the church practices scientology because it no longer does. The copyrights and the name, 'Scientology', maybe owned by the commercial organisation called the Church of Spiritual Technology, and licenced to the Church of Scientology International, but it is simply giving lip service to a philosophy no longer practiced. The church is now a commercial enterprise for making money, and reducing costs through the reduction of the rights of individuals members within the church through, violence, abuse, cheap labour, threats, and harassment. The threat against existing scientologists, staff and members within and without the church is the denial of one's future existence if one does not comply. Absolute nonsense of course as, like in most philosophies, one is regarded as a spiritual being. Nevertheless for those still held within the tightly regimented enclave it seems real enough. Practiced by the church also is harassment of scientologist who are no longer members of the church but who deem to practice the original philosophy. This includes legal as well as illegal harassment.
Michael, President of the International Freezone Association Inc (IFA) stated, "The only scientology you will find practiced, these days, is outside the church, in the Independent Scientology Free zone where the basic principles are still adhered to and it is considered that man has spiritual freedom."
He went on, "How many people actually know what scientology is? Not very many! They do not even know the basics of real scientology and many of the current critics do not differentiate between the original philosophy and the current incumbents activities, instead, simply lumping them all together." he said. "It is like saying that all Catholics or all Muslims are bad. Patent nonsense of course as all people are individuals and spiritual beings regardless of their beliefs."
The media's rhetoric of, "it's bad", "Scientology kills people" or "scientologists eat babies" and other such generalised idiocies do nothing to explain what the philosophy of scientology is except dish out biased opinions. Ask people if they know what the ARC triangle represents, or what is a stable datum or what the eight dynamics are or that it is an applied philosophy and man is considered a spiritual being and they would not have a clue. Many get confused of course and cannot, or do not differentiate between the message and the messenger. In this case it is the messenger that has turned sour.
The criticism of the church is very understandable. In the eyes of the freezone scientologist, the church has committed the unpardonable sin of abusing the original philosophy and, instead, imposed an authoritarian and criminal dictatorship totally at variance with the original philosophy.
Nevertheless, the bald ignorant statements of, "they be all bad over there" is not a sound approach for adjudicating the merits or otherwise of any philosophy, whether practices by critics or church alike. Most of the original scientologists HAVE left the church in disgust or, as a result of abuse by the current management incumbents of the church, managed to 'escape.'
Many of the members of the International Freezone Association Inc, a group of independent scientologists have personal stories of abuse and denial of the basic rights of scientologists in violation of the basic tenets, with the church.
The philosophy has nothing to do with health or mental health any more than the Christian religion does. Calls by the Mental Health and its proponents for an investigation in to the philosophy are misguided at best and a wtich hunt at worse.
Abuses and criminal conduct within the church is quite rightly a matter for law enforcement agencies, not health or government intervention.

ABC Australia Four Corners Report on Scientology
The ABC in Australia just showed a 'report' on scientology' Of course it recounted abuses etc but also it was still very biased and made no attempt to provide a balanced view or even give any information about the philosophy, honing in on the current abuses and lumping everything together in a typical a=a=a. (everything equals everything and there is no distinction between different aspects of the same subject)
I posted a comment as follows:
Dear Four Corners,
I have just watched the report on Scientology shown tonight at 8.30 on ABC1.
I was disappointed to say the least that Four Corners should show such a blatantly biased and incomplete portrayal of L. Ron Hubbard the philosophy he founded.
I have no issue with the reporting of abuses that can be found within the church in its present state. Indeed many of the International Freezone Association Inc. have suffered such abuses and made these known.
In addition, information regarding the Project rehabilitation Force is displayed on scientologistsfreezone.com for all to see.
My objection is that not even a token attempt was made to show anything about the philosophy other than a vague and highly inaccurate reference to 'xenu', which has little to do with the scope of the philosophy.
The philosophy is based upon a series of discoveries by Hubbard and not a 'self styled' religion as the reporter states. That is simply poor tabloid journalism set out to paint a picture and not provide factual data.
In addition the church in its current state no longer practices the philosophy of scientology any more. In the same way it has abused many of its members, under the guidance of the currently chairman of the board, it has also abused the basic tenets of the philosophy as well.
This means that this report is no better than the church at reporting facts and certainly not an accurate balanced presentation of any kind.
I would have expected something better from Four Corners.
In fact, the only place you will find the original philosophy of scientology is with the independent scientologists worldwide.

New Scientology Freezone Newsletter
The International Freezone Association inc (IFA). The independent group of scientologists who wish to practice the original philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard and not the church altered technology, have launched a newsletter free to the public.
PR Log (Press Release) - Dec 28, 2009 - "The Monthly newsletter, called the FREE THETAN is designed to give people an idea of what the original philosophy of Hubbard was really about." Said Michael Moore, President of the IFA. "Unfortunately the church has altered the philosophy and violated its tenets so much so, that there is now virtually no actual scientology practiced in the church any more. It is really just scientology in name only these days. For the real stuff you have to go to the independent practitioners in the field." He went on.
The FREE THETAN is a monthly newsletter freely available from the IFA website and contains news, information, success stories from the scientology freezone and some quotes by the founder of scientology, L. Ron Hubbard.
The IFA is a free association of individuals, auditors and groups who believe they should be free to practice the original philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard.
They believe that, since the death of the founder of the movement, the Church of Scientology has strayed from the original philosophy and purpose of the group which Hubbard first researched and developed.
As the members of the IFA do not wish to participate in the practice of an altered philosophy they have elected to practice their chosen philosophy independently of the church.
The IFA has a great number of members around the world and provides support and assistance to its members including a quarterly journal and technical assistance with the original philosophy and technology researched and developed by Hubbard.
More information and a free copy of the FREE THETAN newsletter is available at Newsletter

Dear Sir,
The philosophy and religion of scientology is as far from the official church (consisting of the private nonprofit corporation called The Church of Spiritual Technology, the Religious Technology Center and the Church of Scientology International) as it is possible to be and still be on the same planet.
When Hubbard was alive the church did indeed practice the philosophy of scientology and helped many people to become more aware as beings. The philosophy was promoted and people were welcomed into the church. Families and family life was encouraged and promoted and the cost of the services were reasonable.
After his death, however, a new regime took over and all that changed. The emphasis turned to money to the exclusion of all else and a paranoiac obsession that anyone not with the church was against it. Church members were not allowed to look at the internet or anything the church management deemed contrary to church doctrine. Abuse of various kinds were, and to my understanding, still are, perpetrated against members still in the church. This is a classic case of violating the basic doctrines of the philosophy.
Many of the original followers that assisted Hubbard with his research were booted out. Scripts and books were changed and a very effective 1984 job has been done on the literature and the basic services the church was originally set up to deliver by the founder are now at a standstill.
It is a misnomer to say that that the church practices scientology because it no longer does. The copyrights and the name, 'Scientology', maybe owned by the commercial organisation called the Church of Spiritual Technology, but it is simply giving lip service to a philosophy no longer practiced. The church is now a commercial vehicle for making money, and reducing costs through the out and out suppression of individuals within the church through, violence, abuse, cheap labour, threats, and harassment. The threat against existing scientologists, staff and members within and without the church is the denial of one's future existence if one does not comply. Patent nonsense of course as, like in most philosophies, one is regarded as a spiritual being. Nevertheless for those still held within the tightly regimented enclave it seems real enough. Practiced by the church also is harassment of scientologist who are no longer members of the church but who deem to practice the original philosophy.
This includes legal as well as illegal harassment.
The only scientology you will find practiced, these days, is outside the church, in the Independent Scientology Free zone where the basic principles are still adhered to and it is considered that man has spiritual freedom.
How many people actually know what scientology is? Not very many! They do not even know the basics of real scientology. many of the current critics do not differentiate between the original philosophy and the current incumbents activities, instead, simply lumping them all together.
Of great concern is that the fellow in the street does not have a clue about what scientology is. All one gets is rhetoric and a diatribe of, "it's bad", "Scientology kills people" or "scientologists eat babies" and other such generalised idiocies. Ask people if they know what the ARC triangle represents, or what is a stable datum or what the eight dynamics are or that it is an applied philosophy and man is considered a spiritual being and they would not have a clue. Many get confused of course and cannot, or do not differentiate between the message and the messenger. In this case it is the messenger that has turned sour.
The criticism of the church therefore is very understandable. In the eye of the freezone scientologist, the church has committed the unpardonable sin of suppressing the original philosophy and, instead, imposed an authoritarian and criminal dictatorship totally at variance with the original philosophy.
Nevertheless, the bald ignorant statements of, "they be all bad over there" is not a sound approach for adjudicating the merits or otherwise of any philosophy, whether practices by critics or church alike. Most of the original scientologists HAVE left the church in disgust or, as a result of abuse by the current management incumbents of the church, managed to 'escape.'
Many of the members of the International Freezone Association Inc, a group of independent scientologists have personal stories of abuse and denial of the basic rights of scientologists in violation of the basic tenets, with the church.
Unfortunately the baby very often gets thrown out with the bath water in an indiscriminate vigilante style blanket decision and that is what concerns me here. If a bad hat took over a largely good organisation does one then destroy the whole organisation or does one seek out the bat hat and remove him from the organisation?
I would humbly ask that you take that thought into consideration in any future deliberations.

Independent Scientologists Stand Alone
The independent freezone scientologists stand alone when it comes to the Church of Scientology.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 05, 2009 - The independent freezone scientologists stand alone when it comes to the Church.
"The French Courts decision concerning Scientology is all about the Church of Scientology's methods of recruitment and, not about the original philosophy." stated Michael Moore, President of the International Freezone Association Inc (IFA). A group of independent Scientologists who prefer to practice the original philosophy rather than the later expensive version offered by the church. "The original philosophy has gotten lost in all this, even by the church itself who now seem to practice something else, even in violation of the original tenets of the philosophy." he went on.
The International Freezone Association (IFA) believe they should be free to practice the original philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard and believe that, since the death of the founder of the movement, the Church of Scientology has strayed from the original philosophy and purpose of the group which Hubbard first researched and developed.
"We consider that it is this altered philosophy the church practices, in violation of the basic tenets of the original Scientology, that has contributed in no small measure to the church's downfall." Moore said.
The IFA have experienced scientologists on their books who only practice the original philosophy. They have a certification process in place to ensure that their members only practice and use the original philosophy as distinct to the modern Johnny come lately altered versions practiced in the church today.
There are also many other resources both for public and IFA members available from the 10 websites the IFA operate.

Hearing on Intellectual Property and Copyrights
The US Federal Trade Commission is going to hold a series of hearings,
the first in Washington DC on Dec 5th 2008. This to examine IP law and the various
issues surrounding it. It is expected that interested parties from the
tech industry, including Cisco, Yahoo and the Computer & Communications
Industry Association are expected to testify along with professors,
lawyers and other industry players.
It wishes to straighten out Intellectual Property (IP) and more clearly
define the guidelines covering intellectual property. It will hold a
series of hearings, the first in Washington, DC on Dec. 5th 2008, as a start
to examine the various issues and criteria relating to this issue.
The last time this was done was in 2002/2003, when 24 days of hearings
that involved more than 300 panelists were involved. These included
representatives from large and small business firms; the independent
inventor community; patent and antitrust organizations; and the academic
community in economics and antitrust and patent law provided input. In
addition, the FTC said it received about 100 written submissions. Many
of the business representatives were from technology-intensive
industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, computer hardware and
software, and the Internet. The final results were contained in a
207-page report that has guided the agency's ruling on IP since.
According to the FTC, the hearing will consist of three panels. One that
looks at the operation of emerging business models, aspects of the
patent system that support those models, and industry responses. The
discussion also will explore the implications these developing business
models have for patent valuation and licensing. A second will examine
recent and proposed changes in remedies law, including their impact on
innovation and consumers, and their use of economic analysis in
determining remedies. The third will look at legal doctrines that affect
the value and licensing of patents, such as the recent Supreme Court
cases on obviousness and other important rulings make the scope and
enforcement of patents unpredictable, the FTC stated.
This might not seem immediately apparent but this is a good opportunity
for the Freezone to present its case concerning the freedom of religion
and freedom of expression.
Such points as:
Churches should not hold a commercial monopoly on the name of a
religion. E.g Church of Scientology holds a monopoly on the name
Scientology. The other main religions do not hold a copyright on the
word that represents or describes their religion. Some examples of this
include:
Christianity (All factions and beliefs)
Islam
Hinduism
Chinese traditional religion
Buddhism
Sikhism
Juche
Spiritism
Judaism
Baha'i
Jainism
Shinto
Cao Dai
Zoroastrianism
Tenrikyo:
Rastafarianism:
To name but a few.
Commercial copyright law should clearly not infringe religion.
Commercial copyright law should not be used as a preventative to
practicing the religions.
Intellectual property should not include religious principles or the
ritual and practice of same.
The spiritual welfare of man is not bound by intellectual property
rights but by the beliefs of man.
And the religious and philosophical tenets should not be the property
of any one individual or church.
The spiritual guidelines of a religion should not be bound by commercial
rights.
If you would care to make a submission, which you, as an individual have
every right to do, then the FTC wants your comments. The more people
that make submissions the more notice the FTC will take of the
submissions and the more consideration they will give to them. It would
be in our interests, to ensure that the philosophy of Scientology is
open to all, that as many submissions as possible are made.
All submission should be submitted to:
http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/workshops.shtm
And must be received by February 5, 2009, and should refer to "Evolving
IP Marketplace - P093900."

Professional Course Booklets
The 14th in the D Folgere Professional Course Booklets has now been
completed and uploaded to Gold Century Press. I spend a little time
each day transcribing on these and hope to have at least one completed
each month. So far I am in front of the target as started this a year
ago and have now done the first 14 plus the last one (No 50).
The Professional Course Booklets, also known as the 50 Course Booklets,
were originally compiled and rewritten from transcripts of lectures
given by Lafayette Ronald Hubbard during the Spring and Summer of 1952.
The first 27 booklets parallel the 27 lectures of the Hubbard College
Lecture Series given in Wichita in March 1952. Booklets 2E to 28 are
taken from the Technique 80 Lectures of Phoenix, May 1952. The remaining
19 booklets are based on the Technique 88 Lectures of June 1952. Tapes
of these lectures were supplemented by the booklets and together they
formed the Professional Course.
These "50 Course Books" carry forward all the basic technology Dianetics
and Scientology, with particular emphasis on the material developed
between January and December, 1952. They contained an enormous amount of
material fundamental to an understanding of the mind, many with
illustrations. They could be said to have comprised a study course in
themselves, but were, at the same time, part and parcel of the
Professional Course.
They have been out of print for many years and have been generally
unavailable. But now this vital information will be available from Gold
Century Press, publishers to the scientologists Freezone, at a nominal
cost in either soft copy or e-book format. These have been reformatted
and errors corrected. All proceeds will be donated to the International
Freezone Association.
Note: These are lecture notes written by D Folgere and are not
transcripts of Lafayette Ron Hubbard Taped lectures. Keep in mind that
these were written by another. They are not source material. If you
prefer to read only source material directly from Lafayete Ron Hubbard,
it is strongly suggested you buy books written by L.Ron Hubbard and
preferably those issued prior to 1982. There is no guarantee that books
issued by the RTC after 1982 have not been altered or changed in text.
See scientologistsfreezone.com for further information.
Each one is about 12 to 14 pages and available in e-book format at
7.95USD for an e-book as well as soft copy.

IFA AMNESTY
In celebration of the first group, The Life Improvement Center, to be certified by the IFA as fully applying Lafayette Ron Hubbard Standard Technology, an Amnesty is issued in accordance with HCO PL 6th of March 1965 Justice Amnesty Policy.
"AMNESTY: A general pardon for past offenses; the granting of such a pardon; a forgetting or intentional overlooking; the rendering of punishment null and void for offenses earlier than the amnesty date, known or unknown; forgiveness of past criminal or anti-social actions...."
"An Amnesty is general in nature and when issued includes everyone."
"Amnesty is clearly intended to cover only anti-social or anti-Scientology acts and is clearly not intended to cover debts, contracts or such agreements or obligations."
All moderations on IFAChat will be removed. All Ethics Files cleared.
David Miscaviage, The Religious Technology Center and the Church of Spritual Technology are not included within this amnesty as they intentionally operate outside the scope of agreement within the Freezone and the general public.
"Offenses occurring after midnight of the release date of an amnesty are not covered by the amnesty."
This Amnesty covers up to midnight 17th New York Time, USA.
"The frequency of amnesties is determined solely by the frequency of new triumphs of significant general importance to Scientology. Help them happen."
We look forward to seeing more groups become certified and encourage them to do so.

New Certified IFA Group
After some rigorous testing and inspection, the International Freezone Association (IFA), today was pleased to certify the Life Improvement Centre of Forest Hills, Tampa, Florida as fully qualified to deliver Lafayette Ron Hubbard Standard Technology.
The Quality Control Officer of the IFA Mark stated, "I inspected their training in progress. I looked over the materials they were using for training and in counseling … I've inspected so I've seen that they can standardly provide all services they claim to deliver"
The Life Improvement Center is owned and run by Anita and Les Warren In Forest Hills, Tampa, Florida. Their services include:
Drug or Alcohol Rehab
Life Repair
Child/Parent Rehab
Purification Program
Free Testing, Evaluation
Ministerial Services
Improvement Zones
Children & Teens
Tutoring
Relationships & Marriage

Illness & Injury
Talent & Ability
What is the IFA Certification System?
The purpose of the certification process is to uphold and substantiate a specific standard of application and delivery of standard technology of the original working philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard to the level attained by the individual as originally instituted by Lafayette Ron Hubbard.
It was Ron himself who introduced the certification process in the form of certifications and oks to audit, issued by the Qual and approved by HCO and the Keeper of the Tech. These were not fanciful titles but in fact a recognition that the individual can and does apply the technology in the way Ron expected.
The certification process will provide recognition for practitioners that their application of the technology is of a satisfactory standard, undeviating in its application and delivery so the results remain predictable and stable.
This provides, for the clients of the practitioner, the knowledge that the practitioner is on source, knows and understands and can delivery the practical aspects of the original philosophy as outlined by Lafayette Ron Hubbard.
"This certification is an assurance that the philosophy and technology of Lafayette Ron Hubbard is still practiced in the field if not in the church." Stated Michael Moore President of the IFA. "We have an increasing number of people accepting and applying the professional standards of delivery demanded by the public."

The Church of Scientology™ Vs Scientology
The philosophy and religion of scientology is as far from the official church (consisting of the private non profit company called Church of Spiritual Technology, the Religious Technology Center and the Church of Scientology International) as it is possible to get and still be on the same planet.
When Hubbard was alive the church did indeed practice scientology and expanded and helped many people to become more aware as beings. The philosophy was promoted and people were welcomed into the church. Families and family life was promoted and the cost of the services were reasonable.
After his death, however, a new regime took over and all that changed. The emphasis became money dedication to the exclusion of all else and a paranoiac obsession that anyone not with the church was against it. Church members were not allowed to look at the internet or anything the church management deemed contrary to church doctrine. A classic case of violating one of the basic doctrines of the philosophy.
Many of the original followers that assisted Hubbard with his research were booted out. Scripts and books were changed and a very effective 1984 job has been done on the literature and auditing and training, the basic services the church was set up to deliver, is at a stand still.
Even the wife of Hubbard, a tireless supporter, has become persona non gratis with the church.
The philosophy of scientology is not practiced in the church. The church is now a vehicle for making money, not for "spreading the word". It is a misnomer to say that that the church practices scientology because it does not anymore. The only scientology you will find practiced, is outside the church, in the Scientology Freezone.
Most of the current critics are critical of the church, not the philosophy, the basic principles of which they are probably unaware. Many get confused of course and cannot, or do not differentiate between the message and the messenger. In this case it is the messenger that has turned sour.
But what is of concern is that many critics, and the fellow in the street does not have a clue about what scientology is. All one gets is rhetoric and a diatribe of, "its bad", "Scientology kills people" or "scientologists eat babies" and other such idiocies. No, the church may participate in dubious activities but certainly any self respecting scientologist will not as it goes against the very principles by which he or she subscribes. The bald ignorant statements of, "they be all bad over there" is not a sound approach for adjudicating the merits or otherwise of any philosophy, whether practices by critics or church alike.
Ask people if they know what the ARC triangle represents, or what is a stable datum or what the eight dynamics are and they would not have a clue. How many people actually know what scientology is? Not very many! They do not even know the basics of real scientology.
But their criticism of the church is very different kettle of fish, and very very understandable. In the eye of the freezone scientologist, the church has committed the unpardonable sin of suppressing the original philosophy and, instead, imposed an authoritarian dictatorship totally at variance with the original philosophy.
So it comes as no surprise when the church gets attacked with such vehemence. It is a betrayal after trust. A failure to deliver what was promised. Indeed an active suppression of that which is supposed to be delivered.
Unfortunately the baby often gets thrown out with the bath water and that is what is occurring here.
By contrast, the International Freezone Association (IFA) is committed to keeping alive and practicing the original philosophy as researched and discovered by Hubbard. People participate and become members, supporting the IFA in its purposes of preserving, protecting and promotion the original philosophy.
The International Freezone Association (IFA) is an independent scientology group consisting of scientologists who prefer to stick with the original philosophy and technology as researched and developed by Lafayette Ron Hubbard.
The IFA has become an alternative for the seeker of truth and a second chance at freedom for the true scientologist. A safe haven for scientologists world wide. An alternative to the church that is scientology in name only and practices the original philosophy no more.
There is no hidden agenda here and, although the church may own the trademark to the word scientology, they do not own the trade mark to the truth.

This auction operates in a similar way to eBay and other online auctions and bidding and buying is very simple. You will need to be logged in if you want to bid.

Scientology 8-0 The Book of Basics
A critical analysis and comparison of the book "SCIENTOLOGY 0-8 The book of Basics, A critical analysis and comparison between the 1970 and 2007 versions" has been published this month. Authored by Andreas Grosz, Dipl.-Ing. and published by Gold Century Press, the book offers a detailed analysis of the changes found in the current issue of this boook of basics.
The book is free for download and is available at:
Scientologists Freezone website and at the Gold Century Press website.
It is a recommended read for all scientologists alike.
The Future of Scientology
The Freezone seems to be entering an era reminiscent of the early days of Scientology and Dianetics.
More and more people are finding their way to the Scientology Freezone.
Some dissatisfied with the official church and seeking a viable alternative. Most new to scientology and curious about it.
It seems the more attempts that are made to restrict the Freezone the larger it grows and the more presence it has. Each prod, each harassment, each attack seems to impel it to grow just that bit more. The datum, well known in scientology, that one gets what one resists comes to mind here.
Each time Tom Cruise, or his family, features in the news, more people spring to the internet to find out, "What is this scientology?".
Many find their way to the Freezone either through search engines, existing Freezone sites, groups or discussion lists.
The Freezone is experiencing a growth with record enquiries to all the major groups.
And there are many groups working towards a purpose of getting themselves and others up the bridge as to Clear and OT as fast as possible. Whereas it can take many many years and a considerable amount of money for those parishioners under the influence of the Church, many in the Freezone enjoy the rapidity of particle flow and move up the bridge in months according to the steady stream of of success stories.
It also seems that now any remaining differences between the various groups is slowly being overshadowed by the overall purpose to preserve the philosophy and technology and use it to increase peoples personal spiritual awareness. The Freezone is collectively a group in it's own right, of scientologists who practice the applied working philosophy of Ron Hubbard and are not held down by the fixed idea of copyright and trademark being more important than the spiritual development of mankind. Instead, are free to pursue the road all the way to the top one way or another.
The scientology freezone is truly the Free Zone of scientology.

The Sea Organisation Executive Directive by Richard Reiss, The apparent Senior C/S Flag Service Org is
about as off policy as one can get.
Using threats of ethics to enforce an added inapplicable in the field to
follow a policy that was originally only for Church auditors and,
importantly, for ORG PCs is a wrong target and will continue to ARCX the
field.
The issue quoted is, HCO PL 8 March 1966 “HIGH CRIME”
The quote is:
"TOLERATING THE ABSENCE OF OR NOT INSISTING UPON STAR RATED CHECKOUTS ON
ALL PROCESSES AND THEIR IMMEDIATE TECHNOLOGY AND ON RELATIVE POLICY
LETTERS ON HGC INTERNS OR STAFF AUDITORS IN THE TECH DIV OR STAFF
AUDITORS OR INTERNS IN THE QUAL DIV FOR THE LEVELS AND ACTIONS THEY WILL
USE, BEFORE PERMITTING THEM TO AUDIT ORG PCS, AND ON SUPERVISORS IN TECH
AND QUAL WHO INSTRUCT OR EXAMINE OR FAILING TO INSIST UPON THIS POLICY
OR PREVENTING THIS POLICY FROM GOING INTO EFFECT OR MINIMIZING THE
CHECKOUTS OR LISTS" - LRH
This policy letter by LRH does not call for field auditors to be
threatened with ethics if they do not apply this to the current wave of
ALTERED BOOKS AND TECHNOLOGY being forcibly rammed down their throats.
This smacks of totalitarianism at best and suppression at worse.
The issue states, "Those field auditors who noncomply will be reported
to I HELP (A misnomer in terms if ever I have heard one) and will be
investigated as regards their technical application and for any other
violations of their license agreements."
The term, 'noncomply' is a covert way of changing an act of omission
into an act of commission and is evidently being used to imply, in this
case, that field auditors actively have counter intention.
While it is probably a good idea to verify ones understanding of the
basics of the philosophy, being forced to do so under threats, the
implied accusation of being a criminal and possibility of being barred
is the total opposite of what scientology stands for. This is likely to
drive the auditor in the field away from the church and into the arms of
the scientologists Freezone and I think we should prepare for an influx
of disgruntled auditors!
HCOPL 10 dec 1969 SUPERIOR SERVICE IMAGE says:
"Its an old Maxim IF AUDITING IS OCCURRING IN THE
FIELD ORGS WILL BOOM"
"Its no real concern of ours to try to hold the
field versions standard. They mess up pcs and
students. They always will. A militant org attitude to
keep the ~field~ straight is silly. Let them flub as
you are trying to control something you cannot. "
Makes one wonder if it is the intention to drive the field away and
shrink the church even more. This seems to be yet another attempt to
destroy scientology from within.
The Sword of Damocles hangs over Miscavige poised waiting…..
Once Upon a Time in Scientology
Once upon a time, many years ago, the Church of Scientology used to be the place to go to study the Scientology philosophy. Thousands of people did so and became scientologists enjoying the benefits obtained from the original philosophy just as Ron Hubbard developed it.
However, since the demise of Hubbard in the early 80s this is no longer the case. Times change and the church changed. New management has resulted in a different scientology being promoted. Alterations to the original philosophy developed by Hubbard have been documents and are easily seen by comparisons between the originally issued materials and the latest issues of the same materials.
Nowadays, to get the original philosophy, you now have to go to independent scientology groups such as the International Freezone Association (IFA) for example.
The IFA is a sort of protestant scientology group which prefers to stick with the philosophy as originally developed by Hubbard rather than the later 'updated' version currently followed by the Church.
Often regarded as a splinter group by the church, the IFA and its members follow the original teachings of Hubbard based on the original philosophy which Hubbard researched and developed which was so successful in the period up to the early 80s to give to people the best possible way of improving their lives.
The IFA operates outside of the church and has a list of members who are practitioners of the original philosophy. "We believe that the church has deteriorated since the demise of the Founder, and has taken to practicing a radically altered version of the original philosophy resulting in a more dissatisfied public and poor public relations." said Michael, President of the IFA. "As a result there is now a niche for the person wishing to get back to basics and study the original philosophy and the IFA is here to fill that niche." He said. "We are only interested in, what is known in scientology circles as, standard technology, which basically means the 'original applied working philosophy' just as Hubbard developed it."
"There are two distinct scientologies now" he went on. "The Church of Scientology and the International Freezone Association".
The IFA has a website at http://internationalfreezone.net from which further information may be obtained about the original philosophy of scientology.

Top Ex-Scientologist Found Dead
Press Release:
International Freezone Association
1st June 2007
Top Ex-Scientologist Found Dead
Ken Ogger, a long time scientologist was found dead in his swimming pool three days ago.
According to Ogger's girlfriend, "He was found dead today, on May 29, in the pool of his house. When the police took his body out, his hands were tied with a wire, and a heavy concrete thing attached to his feet. We were supposed to have a date on Monday night. Monday was a Memorial Day in America. He didn't come. He had never broke dates, and in case of any changes he always warned me. I couldn't reach him on the phone, and eventually drove to his place. His mother opened the door. It turned out she had no idea where he was. His car was there, so we assumed that somebody picked him up. But what worried us most -- no calls from him. The phone in his house was broken, but he never called me either. It was last night, on May 28, Monday, the Memorial Day. Today when I came to Ken's mother, she said at the door: "He is dead in the pool"."
Ogger had been what is known as an old time scientologist from the early days and was well versed in the philosophy. He wrote a number of works about the philosophy and its application. He had also been an outspoken critic of the new Church of Scientology regime since the demise of the Founder of the church and had been, according to posts he placed on the internet, subject to continual harassment by the Churches infamous Dept of Special Affairs (OSA).
The Church of Scientology is perhaps the most litigious in the world not hesitating to sue at the drop of a hat. OSA, their secret security 'arm' continues to harass ex-scientologists (known as Scientology Freezoners) around the world in an attempt to prevent them from practicing their religion despite, at the same time, crying wolf and protesting freedom of religion around the world.
Recently, continually provoking of a BBS Panorama TV Crew resulted in a screaming match observed around the world.
An Autopsy is due to be performed, meanwhile tributes continue to flowing in around the world for Ken Ogger from scientologists in the Scientology Freezone.
