Extracts:

... " Auditing in the RPF almost destroyed me. For one thing, I had
trouble going " Backtrack" into past lifes. After I finally learned
"past track remedies" where you say anything that pops into your
brain, like monsters or fighting space wars, or whatever, my
imagination ran wild and I began to have two or three pictures popping
up at one time, I wouldn't know actually which one was actually a past
life or if it was my imagination or if they were all past lifes but at
different times, or what. I was " run" on stuff I'd already been run
on. I had 3-4 drug rundowns, "re-verifications" of my method 1, 35
hours Op-pro-by-dup (a process where you walk back and forth examining
and describing a book and a bottle, hours on end for weeks), etc, I
was getting upset and the more upset I became, the more I was
subjected to auditing. As my auditing program" deteriorated, I became
more of a security threat and they then put me on security checks to
go over all my overts and withholds. I finally just shut up,
submitted, and let them audit whatever they wanted on me.

This led me to Expanded Dianetics. This is where you audit out or "run
out" all your "evil purposes", and evil intentions and handle your
"Rock Slams" (a particular reaction on the E-Meter that shows a person
is completely psycho) Evil purposes that you run out are "to destroy"
or "to kill" etc, I must have run dozens of these evil purposes, then
we turned to my R/S handling. By now it's somewhere around the
beginning of 1978, I think. I really have very little sense of time
here- for one thing, one day was just like the next. There was no
variation. Week-ends were the same as week-days. It's all sort of big
lump to me- especially after I started on my Expanded Dianetics and my
brain really started to come apart. I was in sort of a cloud or a daze
most of the time, that's the only way I can describe it.

My R/S handling I think was the point where my brain wasn't just
falling apart, but it started to get fried. I was running out all
these evil purposes connected to the R/ses, and I started spouting out
the weirdest things like," to be somebody else", "to blow up a
planet","commit suicide", "to never grow up","to kill myself", " to
destroy bodies",". The list was endless. My brain was just getting
fried on all of this. I mean I had to have been the most evil and
craziest person that ever existed. I don't know how to describe what
happened other than my brain was frying up. I felt like I was in a
daze half of the time. I'd do things, sort of like watching myself
doing them but not realizing it, as it was somebody else, except that
I know it was me. I'd scream at my auditor, I'd throw down the cans to
the E-meter that I was holding, I'd refuse to get auditing. I just
created a real scene. So, of course, I ended up in ethics, and had
a"body guard" put on me.

This whole thing was a period of weeks, I think. But actually, in the
state I was in, it could have been 2 days or it could have been 2
months.

... Then I walked out of the garage, jumped over the wall, and just
kept walking. No one noticed me, I don't think anyone knew I had left
Sick Bay, so I was not guarded all the time.

I walked as a zombie for about 15 minutes, at least I think it was
about 15 minutes. I began to realize I had just jumped over the wall.
I was in serious trouble. I was petrified and wanted to return but if
I did, I would be under guard again and placed in the RPF's RPF. I
would also again be placed on their Bad Indicators (BI) list, which
consisted of people who were under guard at all times. I was on the
B.I. list when I was taken off the C/S post, except no one knows I
left the sick room, so they hadn't assigned a guard to me yet.

I'm not sure where I was, somewhere on Fort Harrison Avenue, I think.
I sat down on a stairway to figure out what to do. Then I remembered I
had made that phone call to get my friend's number, so I walked to a
7-11 and called her. I received directions to her house. It was
approximately 4-5 miles. I walked it, and when I got there, there were
4-5 guys waiting for me. I completely broke down when I saw them,
crying and carrying on. I told them I wanted to talk to my friend
alone. I was pretty incoherent talking to my friend. I wasn't making
too much sense by this point, and the tears were just flowing. I kept
crying about how I couldn't handle the RPF anymore. That, it was not
them but it was me; I said that I needed Expanded Dianetics and I had
to get myself handled because I was psychotic, but I couldn't get it
handled while in the RPF because I was too "restimulated"; and
therefore, I would never get out of the RPF. I was just rambling.
Meanwhile, my friend was convincing me to return to the RPF. She said
I would be a fool not to go back because I'd have such a "freeloader
bill" that I could never pay it back. She told me of a friend of ours
who had left Scientology, and then was killed in a motorcycle
accident. If I left I'd probably pull in a "motivator" like that
(Scientology believes that if you do something bad, then something bad
will happen back to you-called a motivator). Finally, I agreed to go
back, and route out" of the "Sea org".

So I was escorted back by the guys, and put under immediate guard. I
think by now it's about the beginning of August. The next few weeks
until I actually left are pretty hazy to me- sort of like mass of
confusion. I know I got a " Court of Ethics" and a "Committee of
Evidence" and a " Fitness Board". All of these were ethics actions
showing how bad I was for wanting to leave. If I began to"doubt" about
Scientology the MAA woult tell me that I was not doing the formulas
right and to go back and do them again. I was slowly becoming crazy.

Meanwhile I was under guard and refused to work most of the time, I
was a real "basket case". I finally reached a point where they would
let me sit and do nothing, or work on my condition formulas all day
long whith someone watching me. Sometimes they would have 2 people
watching me. One of the MAA's tried to throw me to the RPF's RPF, but
I screamed and yelled that I would "bite" him if he touched me. So
they just let me sit, except for hassling me during the day about
being a freeloader". They would say:"Don't you think you should do a
little work, at least to pay for the food you're eating?" I usually
replied with a "no". Sometimes I agreed to work. I think they were at
a point they just didn't know what to do with me anymore.

I finally announced that if I didn't leave I would become insane.

... On September 2, 1978, I boarded an airplane to Colorado with
pre-paid tickets from my parents.

If I could sum the RPF up in just one sentence, it would probably be:
IT IS A PROCESS BY WHICH THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE PSYCHOTIC,
AND THEN YOU ACTUALLY DO BECOME PSYCHOTIC."

Ann Rosenblum was a CMO executive; she held an important post in West
Headquarters, La Quinta, California. In the RPF, she indeed received
many a sec-check. Among those security checks, she says in her
testimony she received a special security check written by the CMO on
everything she had been involved with or knew as a Messenger. How
ironical it was for her, since she had herself written a classified
Confessional of limited distribution! On the 3 March 1977, just a few
months before her being assigned to the RPF, she wrote a sec-check,
231 questions long, which she signed by her name and post: Commodore's
Messenger and approved by Hubbard...

Ann Rosenblum was just 23 in 1978. She managed to reconstruct herself
partly because of her parents' love.

Her 15 pages testimony on the RPF is moving and very complete.

5) Monica Pignotti's testimony in 1989:

"My nine lives in Scientology"

RPF on board Apollo, 1974

Extracts:

The Lesson of the RPF:

In January 1975, I was once again on the RPF. This time, however, it
was not like the RPF in 1974 that I had been through the first time.
This group of RPFers did not pull together to help each other through
and it was not so easy for me to get out. A new feature of the RPF had
been invented called the RPF's RPF, for people who got into trouble on
the RPF. A person assigned to the RPF's RPF had to work deep down in
the engine room of the ship all day, cleaning out bilges and was
supposed to sleep in the chain locker. No communication with anyone
was allowed exept for the RPF's ethics officer. The first person
assigned to the RPF's RPF was an executive from London named Ron
Hopkins. I caught occasional glimses of him on his way to and from the
engine room. He was covered with muck from the bilges and looked
miserable. He still had a chest cough from a bout of pneumonia he was
obviously still recovering from.

... Life on the RPF was hard, beginning each day at 5.30. We were
divided into groups of 5-7 people. The women's team cleaned all the
heads ( bathrooms) on the ship, certain passageways and lounges, such
as the aft lounge. Cleaning the heads didn't mean just swishing some
toilet bowl cleaner around and going on to the next one. We had to
scrub down the entire bathroom, including all the bulkheads(walls) and
ceilings. After we cleaned an area, it had to pass a white glove
inspection. If the glove came up dirty, the person who cleaned that
area had to run laps from bow to stern of the ship(about 1/5 of a mile
each). One time, when my senior wasn't satisfied the way I cleaned a
bathromm, she ordered me to " take a lap". I protested because I
thought she was being unfair and her reply was: " Don't Q&A with me.
Take 2 laps." I objected again and she said:"Take 4 laps!" This went
on until I was up to 10 laps, which I eventually had to do. Another
time, I was ordered to run laps and I walked them instead. The person
in charge of the RPF at the time, Homer Schomer, caught me walking and
ran after me. I tried to run away from him, but he was too fast for
me. He caught me by physically grabbing me and I ended up having to do
more laps. The lesson we were to learn on the RPF was to obey orders
without question, regardless of how we felt about it or who was giving
the orders. This was a lesson that I was, obviously very unwilling to
learn. I had not learned it my first time on the RPF, so I was back a
second time. Blind obedience violated everything I had ever valued. I
had thought that Scientology was about independence and
self-determinism, not blind obedience to authority.

... I felt desolated. There seemed to be no hope for me getting out of
the RPF. I can remember on day when I completely broke down.I went
down to the lower hold where the RPF classroom was and cried like I
have never cried before in my life. It felt like I was never going to
stop. I felt totally out of control. Finally, Ron Hopkins went to the
medical officer and got me some Cal mag which was supposed to calm me
down so I could get some rest. It seemed to work for a few hours, but
the next day, my grief came back. I went through several days wher I
couldn't stop crying.I was in a deep state of mourning. ...On an
emotional level, I had come to the realization that Scientology was a
sham, but only on an emotional level. I had no words to describe my
loss at the time. There was no exit counsellor or deprogrammer around
to help me see what was really happening. All I knew was that I felt
worse than I ever had in my entire life.

David Mayo noticed the state I was in and seemed very concerned, but
not even the senior case supervisor could fix what was wrong with me.I
felt I had lost everything.I had come with great dreams and visions
about what could be and I had worked hard to make those dreams a
reality.

... I had lost my ability to be angry. All I could do was cry. As
unhappy as I was, I believed that life outside of Scientology would be
much worse.

... And so it came to pass that on May 26 1975, I was assigned to the
RPF's RPF. I spent very long days down in the engine room, cleaning
foul smelling muck out of the bilges and then painting them.
Fortunately, Ron Hopkins showed me some mercy and I didn't have to
sleep in the chain locker. I was assigned a condition of ennemy and to
get out of it, I had to write up the formula, which was "find out who
you really are". I wrote the formula and submitted it to Ron Hopkins,
but he wouldn't accept what I had written. I didn't know what he
wanted me to write. For days, I struggled to find an answer that would
satisfy him. Who was I? At that point, I really didn't know. If I had
known who I really was I would have let them throw me out and gotten
as far away from the ship and everyone aboard as I could. But leaving
Scientology was a possibility that I was not willing to consider. I
felt that leaving Scientology would be worse than whatever hell I was
going through on the ship.

I spent 5 days on the RPF's RPF, but it seemed much longer. I wasn't
allowed to communicate with anyone except Ron Hopkins. I determined
that I would hang onto what little sanity I had left. The way I did
this was to shut off all my emotions. It was a matter of survival. I
finally wrote up my formula to Ron's satisfaction and got me out of
the RPF's RPF. I had been broken after a long hard struggle. When Ron
Hopkins said:" that's it, you're assigned to the RPF's RPF on May 26,
1975 in the aft lounge of the Flagship Apollo, something snapped in me
and I no longer had any urge to fight back.

I was no longer angry; I was no longer sad; I was no longer happy; I
felt nothing. I simply did as I was told.

At long last, I had learned the lesson of the RPF.

... Up to this point, I have not been at a loss for words in
describing my experiences but now I feel myself feeling that I have
little to say about the period that followed my being released from
RPF's RPF. Perhaps this is because ther was very little of me during
that time. My cult identity had taken over and I had become a
Rondroid, a robot for LRH. I had stopped causing trouble and did as I
was told."

Monica Pignotti lived in Scientology 6 years from 1971 to 1976. She
was only 18 in 1971 when she was working as a staff auditor in Salt
Lake City Mission. In 1973 she joined the SO at AOLA; she was already
OT 3 and a Class VI auditor. As her reputation of being a good auditor
was growing, Mary Sue Hubbard (the guru's wife) invites her personally
to go to the Flagship Apollo where Hubbard lived. That was considered
to be an honor. She lived there 2 years and witnessed unbeleivable
incidents onboard the ship. She told her experience very accuratly in
her excellent testimony. She was arbitrarely assigned to the RPF twice
and once to the RPF's RPF onboard the ship.

When she finally emerged from those terrifying emprisonments Monica
stayed a little while at the Flag land base after the Flagship had
been sold in 1975. She held against her wishes the post of D of P at
AOLA in May 1976. In August 1976, after she was threatened to have a
Com Ev (equivalent to a court martial) she took a bus to Michigan the
day after. She went to her mother's and during 9 months, she did
nothing else than trying to understand what had happened and to adapt
herself to her new life. She went to the Michigan University and
passed a BA, then a Masters Degree in Social Work, passed her
licensing exam (CSW) and is now a certified mental health professional
in New York.(Since update August1996).

6) Larry D. Wollersheim's affidavit, 4-2-1980

RPF onboard "Excalibur" 1974?

Extract:

... Finally the cult assigned me to the RPF, which meant I was evil
and that I had to rehabilitate myself. That experience was the most
degrading experience of my life. The RPF on onboard the "Excalibur"
was moored at San Pedro, California. We were emprisoned except when we
had to clean the ship decks which was a small area. The food was so
bad that a person called Bill Yaoude was hospitalized because of
malnitrition. I spent my days wondering why I was so evil and rebel to
the cult orders and to cult policies. They were "saving mankind" and I
was then against the only organization working to save the planet! I
was audited and corrected on past auditing again and again, until I
could no longer take it. Then I secretely planned to jump overboard.
When I tried to do it, I was caught and maintained onboard until the
Ethics officer came and told me what would happen to me if I left; I
would be declared an SP and in treason. I bought the threat and went
back to the RPF. Long weeks afterwards, I was freed from the RPF and
told I was put there on a mistake".

Larry D. Wollersheim has been suing Scientology since 1985. When he
launched his civil case he placed the OT levels in the court record.
(Lamont.) He won a 2.5 $ which was never paid by the cult. Instead,
Scientology has incessantly been appealing and taking advantage of the
justice system to continue to harass Wollersheim and not pay him. In
the Net, it is commonly referred to "Wollersheim the V"!

Julia Darcondo tells in her book ;Voyage Au Centre de la Secte *
published in 1987, how she helped Larry to escape from Copenhagen RPF.
Larry could not endure to sufferring through an other RPF and managed
to escape. ..." He had run right in front of him, on the deserted
streets. He then saw me carrying my suitcase. He knew me from sight
and that I was a public from Paris Org. He then staked his all,
risking his being denounced. His expression was still charged with
terror." (extract from Julia Darcondo's book)

* Copyrights of that book were mysteriously bought by the cult!.

7) Stacy young's affidavit, 13-10-1994

RPF at PAC, Los Angeles, California, 1982

Extracts:

...177) " Miscavige charged me with being an agent who had been sent
in to destroy Scientology. He claimed that I was working for Michael
Flynn, an attorney who was successfully litigating against Scientology
at that time. He ordered me to submit to what was known as a "
gang-bang" sec check. Two very large, strong men, André Tabayoyon and
Rick Aznaran, locked me in a room and interrogated me for hours.
During the interrogation, they screamed and swore at me. They accused
me of all sorts of crimes against Scientology. They demanded that I
confess to being an enemy agent.

178) Miscavige had also ordered me to do the " Running Program" as
part of the requirements for getting off the RPF. This consisted of
running around an orange pole for 12 hours a day. I was supposed to do
that until I had some sort of realization about what was wrong with
me, whereupon, presumably, I would stop being critical of him.

179) After one of the gang-bang sec check sessions, I was extremely
upset. I was not paying sufficiently careful attention to where I was
placing my feet as I ran around the orange pole. I ran straight-legged
into a pothole about a foot deep and smashed one of my sacroiliac
disks. This put me flat on my back. I was unable to walk. I was under
orders from a doctor not to move because he thought ther was a danger
that I might suffer paralysis from movement before the swelling in the
disk subsided. I paid for the doctor myself, since Miscavige had
ordered that no one give me any assistance whatsoever and, indeed, I
was not paid at all for several months on the RPF.

180) Despite my medical condition, diagnosed by a Scientologist
doctor, Miscavige issued orders that I be sent to Florida to get me as
far away from my husband as possible. Miscavige said he was afraid I
would turn my husband against him. A Commodore's Messenger burst into
my room one evening and ordered me to pack immediately so that I could
catch a flight to Clearwater that night. I was to be transferred to
the RPF at the Flag Land Base, another Scientology compound. I
protested, she continued to insist that I get up until I was finally
able to get her on the phone with the doctor, who told her the church
would be responsible if I ended up paralysed.

181) Although Miscavige allowed me to remain in Los Angeles, I was
imprisoned, under guard, on the seventh floor of the building, so that
I could not escape and reach my husband. We were not allowed to see
each other at all for 3 months and even our letters to each other were
intercepted. Neither of us knew what had happened to the other and it
was agonizing for both of us. I was under threat of expulsion and I
believed that if I were expelled I would never see my husband again. I
was deathly afraid that Miscavige would lie to my husband about me and
turn him against me. I finally convinced Miscavige that I was not a
threat to him, and my husband and I were allowed to see each other
again. Miscavige Rules Via the Sea Organization: There is No Corporate
Integrity.

182) Horror stories like this could be told by any Scientology staff
member who had worked in close proximity with Miscavige. The only
people who will talk about him, however, are those who have left,
because as long as they are inside he virtually holds the power of
life and death over them. He can separate them from the spouses,
separate them from their children, keep them from sleeping, keep them
from eating anything but rice and beans, imprison them for years in
the prison camps known as the RPF. Miscavige's power is absolute, and
it has nothing to do with corporate boundaries. As did Hubbard before
him, he wields his power via the Sea Organization, which is an
inincorporated, fiercely dedicated, group of Scientologists. It is the
Sea Org that actually runs all of Scientology."

Stacy Young held several executive posts during the 15 years she
worked in the SO; from 1975 to 1989. In direct contact with the new
guru called Miscavige whom she was the scapegoat, her testimony is
extremely revealing, all the more interesting since she held key posts
in Management; Office of the Guardien (OSA) and ASI.

8) David Mayo's affidavit, 14-10-1994

RPF at "Happy Valley" near Hemet, California, 1982.

Extracts:

... 14) On August 29, 1982, David Miscavige, and others, acting on the
orders of L. Ron Hubbard, kidnapped me and subsequently kept me
captive and physically and mentally abused me for 6 months during this
period, Miscavige, an officer and director of RTC, told me in the
presence of Vicki Aznaran, President of RTC, Mark Yaeger, Commanding
Officer, CMO INT of CSI that if I ever escaped, he would personally
see to it that the ressources of the Church of Scientology would
destroy my character and reputation internationally. During that 6
month period of captivity, I was forced to run around a tree in the
desert in temperatures of up to 110 ° for 12 hours a day, 7 days a
week, for 3 months. I was under tremendous coercion and duress, I was
refused medical and dental treatment (after escaping activity I lost 6
teeth and required thousands of dollars of dental work to save the
rest of my teeth) I was not permitted to make or receive phone calls
and all letters I wrote were read by Scientology security guards. I
was awakened during the night and interrogated (mainly by Jesse
Prince) In early February 1983, I was told by Rick Aznaran, Director
of Security, RTC, (husband of Vicki Aznaran, President of RTC) to get
the idea of leaving out of my head because I would never leave the
property alive.

...17) I was in extreme danger and under substancial duress during the
6 month period of captivity and torture. The duress affected me even
after my escape. "

David Mayo was Senior C/S Int until 1982 and an initial trustee of
RTC. He had worked directly with Hubbard, was his former Senior aide.
He says he was the primary source of Nots and Solo Nots, he was
Hubbard's auditor on Nots. Thorically, he was the testimentary heir as
far as the cult technology was concerned, but he was arbitrarely taken
out, along with many others, by David Miscavige after a power struggle
in which he won absolute control over the multinational cult. David
Mayo headed a breakaway mouvement called "The Advanced Ability Center"
in Santa Barbara until it was closed in 1986. David and Julie Mayo
have been living in the Dominican Rebublic since 1988. Needless to say
that they have been constantly and outrageously harassed ever since
they left Scientology. In August 1994, David Mayo was even sent in
jail in Santo Domingo accused of "practising Scientology without a
licence"; he was released the day after without being charged since he
had not committed any crime*.

*Ref: Julie Mayo's posting on Newsgroup.

9) André Tabayoyon's affidavit, 4-4-1994

RPF at " Happy Valley" near Hemet, California, 1987

Extract:

..." 72) In 1987, I observed Miscavige order Vicki Aznaran
incarcerated at a place called Happy Valley. Happy Valley was a ranch
11 miles away from the Gold base near Hemet. It was then one of the
RPF Scientology correction and detention facilities. Vicki had been
the Senior Executive in RTC. Miscavige won a power struggle and took
her off that post. He ordered her into the RPF which was part of Gold,
a unit in CSI.

73) I was at the Happy Valley complex when Vicki was driven up. She
arrived in one car. Miscavige arrived in another car right behind her.
After Vicki and Miscavige had left the respective cars in which they
arrived, I heard Miscavige scream at Vicki: " You're going to do the
f---ing RPF". I didn't see or hear Vicki make any response. I saw her
go into the berthing facility.

74) A short time later, I spoke to Miscavige during his inspection of
the stairs and patio of a building which was under construction at the
base. He was wearing a new captain's uniform, a rank to which he
appointed himself. I complimented him in his new uniform. Miscavige
told me that Vicki, Jesse Prince and Spike Bush. He said: " I'm almost
positive they won't make it through the RPF. They're criminals".

75) Vicki spent 120 days on the RPF. As Director of Renovations and
Construction Gold, a CSI department at the Gold base, I was in charge
of supervising the work performed by the RPF at the time. Miscavige
instructed us to keep a close watch kept on Vicki because he feared
she would try to escape.

76) For 12 hours every day, for the duration of her stay, except for
the few occasions when she was too ill to move, I saw her run around a
pole (" the running program"). This is one of the most severe forms of
RPF. It is reserved for persons deemed to be in a very low ethics
status. It is often regarded as a program to contain persons regarded
as crazy by the Scientology hierarchy. In addition to the running
program, Vicki was also working on other projects for an additional 5
hours a day.

77) Eventually, Vicki successfully escaped from the RPF. She is now
suing Scientology.

Note: Strangely enough, Vicki Aznaran did not even mention her RPF
"experiences" in her own affidavit, 7-3-1994.

10) Mental control techniques listing used in the RPF

André Tabayoyon's affidavit, 4-4-1994

Extracts:

... 11) The indoctrination I received in the Sea Organization was
extensive. It fully acquainted me with the coercive methods that
Scientology uses on its staff and public. My training included the
following courses which had the content as indicated below:

A) FLAG EXECUTIVE BRIEFING COURSE (FEBC)

All the policy ever written by Hubbard about the running, debugging,
and if needed the creation of a complete organization using thought
reform ideas and practices in conjonction with coercive persuasion on
the staff and public.

B) ORG EXECUTIVE COURSE (OEC) (same as above)

D) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE INDOCTRINATION TRAINING

E) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE SECTION OFFICER HAT

F) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE MASTER AT ARMS HAT

I learned in the above courses how to use thought reform processes to
make persons amenable to persuasion.

G) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE TECH IN CHARGE HAT

I learned how to administer various thought, ideological and social
reform procedures to reorient now compliant subjects of thought
reform- to accept Scientology goals as articulated by Hubbard and /
Miscavige.

H) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE QUAL IN CHARGE HAT

This training taught me how to recognize misaplication of thought,
ideological and social reform procedures so as to maximize the effect
that coercive persuasion had on subjects under my supervision.

I) REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE SUPERVISOR TRAINING

I was taught how to use thought reform procedures to change the most
fundamental aspects of a subject's personality and exact a comitment
from the subject to further Scientology's goals of clearing planet
Earth.

J)REHABILITATION PROJECT FORCE AUDITOR TRAINING

I learned how to use thought reform to coerce subjects into confessing
their crimes and sins against Scientology as a step towards their
"rehabilitation" as dedicated Scientologists.

K)ROLL BACK TRAINING

I received training on how to trace rumors, statements of disaffection
or anti-Scientology thought back to its source so that it could be
obliterated and sources of disaffection eliminated.

L)BLACK PR RUNDOWN TRAINING

This training was to teach you how to find out who is spreading
negative information and to fully handle him with coercive mind
practices. I learned how to ferret out negative information about
Scientology; once you found out, those who are guilty become targets
for internal " fair game" tactics such as the RPF's RPF or general
mental abuse.

M) TRUTH RUNDOWN TRAINING

I learned how to use thought reform to correct improper conduct by
persons spreading rumors or black PR about Scientology.

N) INTROSPECTION TRAINING

I learned Scientological techniques to reach persons who had suffered
psychotic breaks during the thought reform process. Persons in this
condition were not capable of relating to the real world. For the most
part, introspection training focused on limiting the stimuli to which
the victims were exposed with the hope that over time they would
recover.

O) FALSE PURPOSE RUNDOWN TRAINING

These are a whole series of thought reform practices used to change
people's way of thinking. I learned how to supervise auditors
reforming thoughts of people while on the RPF.

P) FALSE DATA STRIPPING TRAINING

This is a technique to ferret out and remove out tech (Non-orthodox
Scientology) ideas and to replace the out tech ideas with Hubbard's
information.

Q) TOO GRUESOME TRAINING

This training teaches a supervisor how to instill complete terror and
abject fear in subordinates so that subordinates will comply with the
supervisor's orders without questions. I have been a member of various
Churches of Scientology for 21 years from 1971 to 1992. During this
time, I received extensive and intensive training as a Scientologist.

...16) The Sea Organization is to Scientology what the Communist Party
was to Soviet Russia and the Gestapo was to Nazi Germany. Indeed, Sea
Org members were not allowed to read communist doctrines, or magazines
and books about mind control and thought reform because of the
similarity to the Sea Org life that these documents present.

... 18) As a Sea Org member, I received thousands of hours of training
in basic Sea Org policy. In 1977, I was assigned to the RPF for 18
months. In 1980, I was assigned to the RPF for another 2 1/2 years. In
1987, I was again assigned to the RPF for another 18 months.
Accordingly, I spent appox. 6 years in total on the RPF. During these
6 years I also spent time-- 19 full days-- on the RPF'sRPF. The
RPF'sRPF is designed to totally destroy any individual determinism to
not want to do the RPF. RPF is a totally involuntary type of gulag or
concentration camp. In order to get out, and stay out, you must prove
that you have altered the ideals, morals, social and emotional
attitudinal values of another member of the RPF of a long duration as
evidenced by the physical actions and motions of the person so
altered. One must also prepare written evidence in the form of success
stories of how wonderful and voluntary the RPF was.

André Tabayoyon has had the courage to write a thirty pages testimony
which is an unbeleivable account of the life lived inside secret
headquarters of the cult. I just took extracts having to do with RPF,
but reading the entire affidavit is extremely enlightening. In fact,
each testimony, affidavit, book, from which I have presented an
extract, show a particular sinister and hidden part of the cult of
Scientology.

André Tabayoyon escaped the cult after 20 years of loyal "services"
taking with him his wife Mary* but failing to locate his 21 years old
son whom he has not seen since. He left Hemet base in December 92,
since he felt he had suddenly fallen from grace to Miscavige's eyes.
He knew he would have been ordered to run around a pole 12 hours a
day, 7 days a week for months if he did'nt leave in time. He already
knew all atrocities committed on others...

I shall not throw the first stone at someone who took the risk of
writing such a stunning affidavit, but still, I have this strange
feeling about André Tabayoyon; he never, not once in his testimony,
showed the slightest hint of remorse, or compassion towards horrors
practised on staff. But looking at the dates, there is no wonder;
only16 months separate the time he left, to the time he wrote the
affidavit.

*Mary Tabayoyon has written a breathtaking affidavit on systematic
abortion practices demanded of all Sea Organization personel.

I'd prefer to die speaking my mind than live fearing to speak.
The only thing that always works in scientology are its lawyers
The internet is the liberty tree of the new millennium
Secrets are the mortar binding lies as bricks together into prisons for the mind
