Scientology's®
Claims
From: publicrelations@scientology.org
No. People are unique, despite all the problems and aberrations they
have in common. As they become disentangled from the stimulus-response
part of their mind, they become more themselves, more unique, more
individual and learn to believe in themselves. In fact, becoming more
aware of and able to express one's own unique beingness is encouraged
in Scientology. Scientology teaches one to maintain his personal
integrity and develop fully as an individual.

And now for the truth
Individuality among Scientologists is not tolerated by the organization's
management. No one is allowed to question the lack of validity of L. Ron
Hubbard's "tech" as they call Hubbard's quack notions. If they
do they're sent to what they call "ethics" which in effect is a
system of punishment designed to force the individual to stop thinking
for herself. If questions persist, followers are "assigned ethics
conditions" which are punishments that require "amends."
Such amends require writing up one's "crimes" which includes
having thoughts about how Scientology "technology" doesn't work.
When al else fails and the individual still persists in thinking for
herself, she may be forced to go to what the organization calls its
"RPF"
or "Rehabilitation Project Force" re-education camps.
Indeed, downtown Clearwater in Florida is well known for having
Scientology cultists walking around like robotic, blank-eyed zombies
all dressed alike, brains turned off, marching from place to place on
schedule. The image that Scientology's robots (they're called
"Rondroids" in Clearwater) is one of the major reasons why
the City of Clearwater
has the economic
problems that it does.
Scientology "processing" is specifically designed to modify
and remove one's individuality. In Lies Debunked:
Is Scientology like hypnotism? a somewhat detailed examination into
this brainwashing process is offered. Scientologists subject themselves
to processes which make them pliable and open to suggestion and the
overall goal is to supplant one's individuality with that of L. Ron
Hubbard's.
The Scientology crime syndicate's ringleaders call L. Ron Hubbard
"Source" and they discard the Western calendar in favor of
a new dating system which begins with Year 1 in 1950 -- the date that
their mad messiah L. Ron Hubbard wrote "Dianetics.®"
Followers are required to "duplicate" L. Ron Hubbard and
any deviation is called
Squirreling which the
organization calls a "High Crime." Having individuality
thus becomes a "High Crime" in Scientology.
