Copyright of Tom Voltz' book
Tilman Hausherr
Tom Voltz asked me to post this:
"Dear Tilman
I trust you will pass the following on to ars:
Effective immediately, I, Tom Voltz, author of and owner of the copyright
to the book "Scientology und (k)ein Ende", as originally published by
Walter Verlag in 1995, grant permission to anyone (except as noted below)
to go and translate the book into any other language than German and
publish it on the internet. This does NOT include the German edition, as
the book is currently still being sold in that language and I ask the ars
community (and other, less ethical netizens) to respect this. The
permission is granted in the understanding that publication on the net
would be free of charge to any person interested in reading it - in other
words it may not be put on database systems which charge its customers
money for their use. In addition the server where such publication would
bestored on the net may not demand from a person to give his/her name or
any other means of identification as a condition of being allowed access to
the translated book. I want it to be freely available for use and debate or
whatever. That's what it was written for.
This permission is NOT granted to entities who are members "in good
standing" with the Church of Scientology or any of its direct or indirect
affiliates, associates, in-concert-workers, attorneys or other people hired
by them, unless they wish to do the translation in order to do amends for
the benefit of those whom they harmed in the course of their "planetary
clearing efforts" and/or society at large. When in doubt go and get your
ethics clearance from the ARSCC ethics officer. No specific SP level
attainment certificate need be presented. The wearing of a tin-foil hat is
mandatory during translation.

Is this book already available online, in German or otherwise?

This is a good book, and I'm almost finished with the Jaschke Report. If
anyone else already has it translated already, let me know!!!

The entire book is not yet available, but a chapter of it, called
"Scientology or Democracy", is available at
http://www.innernet.net/joecisar/ars1002.htm.
It's about 45k in size.

Not the whole book, but two excerpts from it are available in English
from

"Dear Tilman
As I have received some emails over the past few days as well as a phone
call (today) you must have posted my message concerning my book (thank you
for that). To clarify my position:
1. I am not interested in further activity on ars. (I have done my share,
or so I feel.) All I am doing is giving the permission for the contents of
my book to be posted through the internet so its not lost on book shelves.
2. The moment my publisher is done with his publication of the book in
*German* I shall notify you and the German version can be posted and webbed
as well.
3. I have one more public appearance scheduled to speak about scientology,
a committment I entered into quite some time ago. That will be later this
year and it will be my last one.
4. From time to time people send me materials, such as promotional items,
policies, internal memos of orgs, etc. I pass them on to others active in
discussing scientology. However, my sources are drying out (getting taken
off mailing lists), so that too will find its natural end. As I haven't
received a magazine from Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles for quite some
time now I assume they finally found out and took me off their mailing
list. (I took a course there in 1977 or 78 when it was still at Berendo.
Yvonne Jentzsch - Heber's first wife who passed away many years ago - at
the time was at Flag because of her illness. I stayed at the Fifield Manor,
just weeks after the FBI had paid the place a visit.)
5. The subject only interests me nowadays as a sociological and
group-psychological phenomenon. For my current book I needed to do a lot of
research in that direction, and anyone wanting to go a layer deeper should
study up on social psychology. You will find that while scientology has
perfected some of the mechanisms and is using them intentionally, they are
not unique to them and also exist in the corporate world. Astonishing
parallels indeed ... (Just look at some of the mission statements of
corporations, consider the motivational seminars offered or, if you get the
chance, watch the McDonald's introductory video to new employees.)
6. As a normal citizen I nevertheless am appalled at what happened to not
only Lisa McPherson but other persons as well. As a critic I suffered my
share of harrassment which cost me months and months of sleepless nights
and restless days. And I do have my personal opinion as to how one should
deal with scientology.
However, life has been good to me, and today my main activity is writing.
To this date I published four books (the last one less than a week ago),
two more are in the works, the next one to be released around September of
this year. And *that* is what I shall continue to do. - I am not and never
considered myself a "professional critic", someone ready to accept at any
opportunity to talk about my view of the organization. Therefor I apologize
to those whom I offend by not replying to their emails. Do what you need to
do, as shall I. Thank you for your understanding.

Resistance is futile. You will be enturbulated. Xenu always prevails.

I offer to scan this book for the web, if it is not available yet
as a text file, and convert it to plaintext and html. I do not have
a copy of it; I require either the book itself as a loan (best) or
a clean photocopy for the OCR.

I've seen both McDonald's films and Scientology's, and I've noted
the parallels before; someone just the other day was quipping with
me about needing "exit counselling" after finishing my two-year
stint working for McDonald's of Canada as a teenager. :-)
(hi, K.; didja think you'd ever be mentioned, even in passing, on
ars?)

Been there, done that. Being a critic takes its toll in terms of
lost sleep, stress, and more. Being a cult member takes even more.
One person told me that running was a good way to keep up the energy
level to oppose them; as a former runner, I see the truth in that.
Maybe I'll take that up again (although an hereditary disease will
probably make that impossible in future).
I don't blame you for dropping out, Tom; many will come forward
to take your place in the eternal struggle between good and evil,
of which this is but a tiny, yet significant, part.

No, thank *you*, Tom; you've done *so* much.
I'd like a listing of your works posted here; I'm only familiar
with the one book.
May God be with you, and good luck in all you do.
