Denial Equals Defrauding

Each and every former Scientologist who has achieved the rank of "Operating Thetan III" and is willing to speak publicly about his or her experiences within the cult of Scientology has reaffirmed that it is at that level that one learns the "creation myth" of this belief system. The story, as told by L. Ron Hubbard, includes Xenu, a totalitarian alien ruler who took care of local rebels by dumping them around volcanoes on our planet, and blowing them up, creating "body thetans" or invisible alien souls that cling to Earth inhabitants, and which must be "audited away." Sound incredible? Yes. Not something anyone would swallow all in one bite, which is why Scientology conceals it from the public, and from its own recently-joined members -- basically, anyone who hasn't paid enough money or shown enough compliance to be fed the story. Ostensibly, well-meaning Scientologists don't tell us because Hubbard said people would die of pneumonia were they to be exposed to it before they've worked their way up the "gradient" of Scientology knowledge. By that point, Scientology's own course price lists prove that one must have spent a minimum of $200,000 in "fixed donationsfixed donations:

MAJOR UNIVERSITIES:  University Of North Carolina
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN:  Campaign Donors
Related: Federal Election Commission, Local Elections, Mad Cow Disease, Political Action Committee, Political Elections, Public Health, Sales Tax, Soft Money" or fees for courses. Scientology has made itself a marketable product/service, rather than a belief system, by requiring fixed fees to take the "courses" which make up its basic beliefs, and verbally promising outcomes which are not delivered. Failing to disclose, fully, the basic tenets of the faith is dishonest, and because of the monetary gain of the church that results from the concealment of those beliefs, it constitutes fraud. Nor is that the only fraud perpetrated by the cult of Scientology. CoS agents verbally tell tales of, and suggest that similar relief of health conditions and all manner of physical issues comes with Scientology. To entice the public during its recruiting process, Scientology agents prey on the hopes of the curious and desperate, yet immediately require -- with a wink and a nod -- a signature on a ridiculous and illegal waiver that disclaims those promises. The hard-sell bait and switch consists of, "This is the only way to cure your ills and find TOTAL FREEDOM. We don't know anything about any Xenu. But we can cure your illnesses, make your life better, and improve everything in your life. We can make you a super-being. We insist that you stop taking your medications because we are scientifically-based and those medications are hurting you. We know these things. Trust us." Demanding payment to find out the precepts of a belief system, and particularly demanding payment for information that supposedly cures or prevents illness, then failing to deliver on those claims ALL adds up to fraud. Innocent people are paying money to the "church" for courses each of which should take them up the "bridge to total freedom." The lies of Scientology are not only fraudulent, but also very dangerous to the public.
