DECLARATION OF ROXANNE FRIEND

I, Roxanne Friend, make the following declaration on personal
knowledge except for those statements made on information and belief
and as to those things I believe them to be true.
I have been told that I am asking the court to determine the validity
of Scientology as a religion or the truth or falsity of Scientology's
religious concepts. If the above is true, this would include the
court's having to determine the validity of Scientology's teaching
that human beings are impaired by things called "body thetans" and
"clusters" of body thetans that are stuck together on human bodies
through no volition of their own. Accordingly, Scientology teaches
that these must be gotten rid of, exorcised if you will, through
Scientology auditing/counseling called the "Upper Levels." Scientology
also states that planet earth, millions or billions of years ago, was
originally populated by beings transported here by Xenu of the
Galactic Federation. These beings were tortured, frozen, clumped
together and electronically forced to reside in various volcanoes.
Scientology's beliefs are not the essence of my suit on fraud against
the
defendant. Is is my contention that Scientology was presented to me as
a science. It was my understanding that everything about Scientology
could be proven factually in the same manner as a scientist proves a
scientific fact. These points are discussed at length in many
Scientology publications. The Scientologist is not exposed to the
above teachings until long after he/she has been indoctrinated into
the

- to page 2 -

group and subjected to mind control. Thus, for me, it became
impossible to see the conflict between the scientific pretenses of
Scientology and the "beliefs."

4. As I stated on page 717 of my deposition, I never accepted
Scientology as a religion or belief and I continued to consider myself
Jewish throughout my association with Scientology. I was also told
that Scientology attempted to gain its status as a religion for two
purposes--one being to avoid taxation for the organization and its
constituents; and two, being to avoid having to come under scrutiny
for its practices of Scientology and the far-out nature of the Upper
Levels while I was still a member.

5. I continually and constantly relied on the teachings of L. Ron
Hubbard, the organization and the classes, auditing and publications
of Defendants. This occurred during a period spanning twelve years and
eight months from May 1977 to January 1990.

6. Originally, I was given a book entitled Dianetics: The Modern
Science of Mental Health. I did not know it then, but this book is the
basic Scientology text, referred to as Book One, and it is re-read and
re-studied throughout the various levels of Scientology. In this book,
Hubbbard claims that all his teachings were an exact science. It was
this claim that there was an exact science that could be the answer to
all mankind's problem that seduced me into Scientology. Hubbard, and
the Defendants, also claimed that it was a truth of science discovered
by studies based on the scientific method, that unwanted emotions can
be cured forever by addressing them psychosomatically with dianetics

- to page 3 -

auditing.

7. Sometimes it is difficult to address the difference between how I
feel now, having left the "church" of Scientology versus how I felt
while I was actually going through all this. I have had two years of
counseling that has helped to release me from some of the mind control
techniques and indoctrination techniques that were repeatedly used on
me even during times of sleep and nutrition depravation and during
times of great emotional pain and distress such as deaths in my
family.

8. While I was a Scientologist, at any points where I would have a
thought negatively or critically about a church executive, the
organization or the techniques used in Scientology, I would have to
squash these thoughts since if I shared them I would be subject to
expensive auditing or other disciplinary actions or projects. This is
another aspect of the way Scientology controls the thoughts of its
constituents. You are trained to only allow certain thoughts or it
will cost you time, money and your pride since you will be punished
for thinking thoughts that the organization does not want you to
think. For example, you are considered and labeled a criminal if you
are caught not "keeping Scientology working" and many people were
continually indoctrinated into that concept (including myself) by
being forced to take a "Keeping Scientology Working" course under
threat of being kicked out.

9. After having read the Dianetic book on my own initially, the
techniques and goals and products of Dianetics were drilled into my
head on numerous occasions:

(1) when I took the Basic Dianetics Book course;

- to page 4 -

(2) on the Hubbard Dianetics course;

(3) on the Dianetics Internship which was at the Advanced Organization
of Los Angeles (AOLA), a division of Defendant Western United States;

(4) on the Senior Dianetics Course;

(5) on the New Era Dianetics Course which I took at the Los Angeles
organization.

10. The other book that I relied on heavily that also makes repeated
representations about Scientology as an empirical science and
statements about improvements in health, raised IQ, better
relationships and a better, happier life--i.e., that I would get all
of these benefits by following Hubbard's scientific studies in his
Science of Survival. I had to read Science of Survival three times.
Once on my "Potential Trouble Source/Suppressive Person" course in
1977 or 1978. Then I was to re-do this course between 1985 and 1989,
at least once at AOLA and on another occasion when I was required to
do so by Defendant FLAG.

11. To further show my reliance on the above books plus the numerous
people in the organizations who reiterated the above to me, my actions
and thoughts were completely attuned to what did Scientology want one
to think and do. I didn't do as well as I could have at UCLA because I
didn't have time to study since my days were composed of being on
"course" in Scientology and getting Scientology auditing. My entire
thought processes and life were completely wrapped in Scientology and
I did not have a life or thoughts of my own really except what I was
trained to think by Scientology and as a result of my indoctrination
by

- to page 5 -

classes and auditing in Scientology, thereby becoming continually
reindoctrinated.

12. As I stated on pages 624-630 of my depositions, I believed that
Scientology cured illnesses as this was taught to me in Scientology.

13. As I stated on pages 643 and 668, I truly believed it when I was
told that Scientolgy was a science and not a belief system. It is only
after two years of counseling that I can really even begin to face the
idea that the things I was trained to practice as a science was not a
science. It is very traumatic to be facing these falsehoods and the
detriment the fraudulent claims have cause me.

14. During my relationship with Scientology, I was referred by
Scientology to the Shaw Health Center for regular medical treatment. I
was told that all of the doctors at Shaw were practicing
Scientologists who used Scientology principles and techniques in their
diagnosis and treatment. I was consistently dissuaded by my auditors
and case supervisors from obtaining treatment from nonScientologist
physicians.

15. The "Church" of Scientology forced me to participate in what they
are calling religious practices that I myself did not want to
participate in. For example, in the spring and summer of 1987 I was
given auditing that I didn't want and was not allowed to leave Flag
when I wanted to. I was made to stay there for months to undergo
auditing that I did not want and even though I told them I wanted to
go back to Los Angeles because my father was visiting from the east, I
was not permitted to do so. During this time I went from having mono
to having pneumonia and getting

- to page 6 -

very ill. Still, I was made to do auditing and was not allowed to
leave. I also missed being Maid of Honor at my girlfriend's wedding
because the case supervisor would not let me leave to go to the
wedding. The fact that being at Flag was against my will is in my
deposition on page 334.

16. Then around October 1988 I was told by Flag staff member Arda
Froese that I was ordered by Senior Case Supervisor International,
Jeff Walker, to go down to Florida to do a special program he had
written. I was then ordered to go back down and do more "Introspection
Rundown". At that point I said NO.

17. In December 1989 I went back to Florida for the purpose of doing a
process called the Purification Rundown but was again forced to do the
Introspection Rundown auditing. I left without Case Supervisor
approval which was always required prior to leaving the Flag Land Base
in Florida. I left in the middle of the night and took a taxi to a
hotel near Tampa airport because I did not want to be on Scientology
premises or continue the Introspection Rundown. Also, I made phone
calls to the Clearwater, Florida or Tampa, Florida police saying that
I was being held against my will. The Scientologists had the phone in
my room cut off when I did this.

Roxanne told us that when she was kidnapped from her home in LA and
transported across the country to Clearwater, her guards were provided
with a note from a Scientology medical doctor in case anyone heard
Roxanne screaming to be let out of the RV. The note said that Roxanne
was mentally unstable and was being transported at the request of her
parents. This was a total lie.

Roxanne told us that Miscavige himself met with her in a motel to get
her agreement to settle her lawsuit. He insisted that they meet alone,
and Roxanne agreed because at the time she was still very intimidated
by Miscavige. She told us she regretted having agreed to meet with him
alone, because she felt the he had coerced her into signing an
agreement which she would not have agreed to if she could have had her
lawyer there. She said DM laughed at her medical condition and told
her she should bother to try to get any more money for her settlement
since she was going to be dead within a year anyway.

Roxanne wanted to do a videotaped interview of her whole story and we
were arranging to do it. But the day before we were set to drive down
for the interview, we got a call from Roxanne's family to tell us she
had died.

Come to think about it, wasn't Wollersheim held captive at some point?

Mr. MISCAVIGE: (...) You had another example on there, a Roxanne Friend.
This is a horrifying story. This girl was ill. I feel for her.

KOPPEL: Another woman.

Mr. MISCAVIGE: Another woman on there, excuse me, excuse me. I don't
mean to say that in a demeaning way, I'm sorry. She has a horrifying
story of having an illness of cancer, and the word in there is that we
didn't sent her to a church.

KOPPEL: To a doctor.

Mr. MISCAVIGE: To a doctor, excuse me. In fact, she's been to a doctor
220 times while she was in Scientology. In fact, when we sent her out of
the church we asked her to please go to a medical doctor and see if
something was wrong.

KOPPEL: The charge, as I recall it, Mr. Miscavige, is that with many of
these people, not just with-

Mr. MISCAVIGE: No, no, let me finish this one. Let me finish this one
becauseit's important.

KOPPEL: -not just with Ms. Friend, I'll let you get back to it in just a
second, the charge is that you inevitably - I don't mean you personally,
I mean the church - send people who complain of some illness to a
doctor, but a doctor who is also a Scientologist.

Mr. MISCAVIGE: I don't know where you got it, it's invented, I never
heard it in my life.

KOPPEL: So it's- so if someone- well-

Mr. MISCAVIGE: First time I heard it.

KOPPEL: -it's not the first time, because you've read the L.A. Times
series, and it was in the L.A. Times series.

Mr. MISCAVIGE: Oh, if it was in the L.A. Times series, I didn't read
that. Believe me, I don't read a report on Scientology from the L.A.
Times to find out what it is, so I did not read that in detail.

KOPPEL: No, but you've got to understand what your critics are saying-

Mr. MISCAVIGE: This is not so.

KOPPEL: -about you, right?

Mr. MISCAVIGE: It's just not so. Not so at all. Just absolutely not so.

KOPPEL: Any Scientologist who wants to go to an outside doctor, no
problem?

Mr. MISCAVIGE: Anybody he wants. It's just an outrageous charge, I have
no idea where it came from.

During the purge of '82 or thereabouts, ( I think that was the time
period), there were many who were held against their will. I remember of
at least 7 or 8 at the time.

By the way, dedication to the cause seems to run in the family. Megan's
daughter Sara Fox was one of the plants run in on Vaughn and me when we were
in Seattle. She had been in the Guardian's Office back in the early 1980s and
was later in OSA. She called me one day and acted thrilled to talk to me
again, although I hardly remembered her at all. But to hear her talk, she and
I had been the best of friends.  

We were suspicious of her from the beginning because her story didn't add up.
She said she had gotten really sick and had ended up "dropping off" staff, and
that her husband John, who had been in OSA at St. Hill in England, had also
"dropped off" staff. Problem is, there's no such thing as "dropping off"
staff, particularly if you're in OSA. She also said that her mother Megan had
not been required to disconnect even though Sara was "no longer in good
standing."  Were she and John declared? Well, no, not exactly, she said. But
they weren't in any more. The whole thing seemed fishy.

She tried many times to engage me in email conversation about what we were
doing to "fight the Church," but I never chatted with her about anything more
than her dogs, our dogs, and the cat sanctuary.

Finally one day I got a frantic call from Sara. She was calling from England.
Oh, I'm so upset, she said. I'm so worried about you and Vaughn. I'm so afraid
of what Scientology is going to do to you.

What's the matter? I asked, already on guard because there was something about
her voice that didn't ring true, as if she were performing a script.

Oh, I'm just so afraid something will happen to you and there won't be any
record of what Scientology did to you. You and Vaughn are writing a book about
Scientology, aren't you?

This book thing is what Danny Fumigalli and a couple of other plants were sent
in to check on, so as soon as she started asking about the book I knew she was
fishing for information.

No, we're not writing a book, I said. Where did you get that idea? I've never
told you we were writing a book, Sara.

Then she got really flustered and didn't know what to say. She put her hand
over the mouthpiece of the phone, as if she were talking to someone else. When
she got back on the line her tone of voice had totally changed.

All right then, Stacy, she said in a very matter-of-fact voice. Well, if you
write a book you should send it to me because I'd like to read it. I have to
go now.

Then she hung up, and I've never heard from her again.
