We’ve had a couple of good pieces this year from a former Scientology Sea Org manager who is still “under the radar” and maintains relationships with many current, active Scientologists.
Thank you for another superb piece, Tony's source (I know you'd hate to be called Source!). "Whistle-blower" implies you would be afforded an element of legal protection for speaking out, which we know could not be further from the truth. So thank you also for your courage. You are an excellent writer.
Ah yes, “Marriage Hats”. A handbook on how to be the perfect ‘50s housewife, including staying attractive, cooking, cleaning and of course be sure you don’t bother your husband with such trivialities as birth control, that’s your problem, and we certainly don’t want any unexpected pregnancies now so we? Here’s a pdf of marriage hats. And yes it’s her job to do exactly as the husband says.
I think it’s a great question of why scientology would protect Danny. Celebrity status in scientology is golden. The who you know in scientology is a big deal. If you’re not a whale or a celebrity your life as a scientologist is pretty bleak. They protect Danny to preserve the views of LRH. If scientology showed that Danny was guilty in any way the whole system would buckle. scientologist believe that you “pull in” whatever happens to you, so if again if guilt was admitted it would fall to pieces. Danny is protected to protect the “church” (cult).
Scientology simply has to evolve a procedure to guide their felony committing members whose felony transgressions are uncovered during the Hubbard pseudo-therapy "sessions" and in Scientology's in house reports and "ethics interviews", when felonies are clearly uncovered, the felon members need be guided to turn themselves into police.
However other more decent traditional religions are getting this done, turning over their discovered felon parishioners to police, is how Scientology should institutionalize doing the same, and do it even better.
All Hubbard regulations that prevent this, need be revised/cancelled, since those are "arbitraries" and Hubbard's own Class 8 principle on "arbitraries" allows the highest level Scientology managers to cancel even Hubbard regulations that factually are acting as "arbitraries."
Not turning over their Scientologist felons to police, that is the immoral and irreligious "arbitrary" currently in place in Scientology, which until they change, then Scientology deserves condemnation with all other religions which do the same.
From view of what Hubbard's highest managerial and high principles in the theory writings of Hubbard's, it is Hubbard's own accumulating "arbitraries" which most cause Scientology's deserved bad reputation.
The movement leaders none who I ever met, were capable of seeing this, nor as a group, none of the councils or responsible "think tank" officers of upper tier Scientology ever capable of realizing what I just said.
That's the only way Scientology could ever become like other decent religious groups. Scientology has to curtail and revoke all Hubbard "arbitraries" within Scientology.
And as everyone who ever thinks about this, it's impossible, at present. And likely never possible, since Scientology is not attracting members to rise up to the top managerial ranks and replace Miscavige and actually revoke all the Hubbard foul "arbitraries".
The Scientology movement is too full of Hubbard's bad ideas and rules.
I'd disband OSA/DSA network.
I'd revise how Ethics Officers/MAAs do their jobs, when felonies are reported. Include accompanying members to confess to the police, and reveal their felonies for police and prosecution.
(When I worked in Senior HCO Int in the 1980s, Monica Quirino told me how an Ethics Officer and exec of one org helped guide their Scientology parishioner to turn himself into the police for murdering his mother, and the "org" Ethics Officer and exec just went ahead and did this all on their own, not getting even regional continental Sea Org approval! That is how it should go. The Ethics Officers and MAAs or the Chaplains of orgs have to have the duties to help guide the felony committing Scientologists to police, period, and cancel all Hubbard rules or interpretations which have become institutionalized by OSA/DSA personnel today.)
A whole lot of Hubbard institutionalized "arbitrary" rules have to be cancelled.
Of course there is no way this will happen, since there never evolved Scientology managers who could ever act like this to make the changes in Scientology.
There was an incident of an "affair" between two members of the L. I. Org's staff. The married man was allowed to continue in his position of authority; as he was bringing in the $. The unmarried woman was declared an SP
