What Made Me Leave The Church Of Scientology But Not Quit Scientology?

As it stands, the Church of Scientology is an organization that is NOT following policy and is degrading and altering the technology. But what does that mean?

Look at the effects the cofs is currently producing…

The example of tech alteration that I linked to was from the PDC tapes, and is particularly relevant to the downfall and perversion of Scientology by the CofS. LRH talks about how Scientology could be used to enslave and trap people, just like any technology can be used for evil, and that the remedy for this is to pass the tech onto others so that it is widely known. As we can see, the CofS is hoarding the tech, claiming a monopoly over it, while in the process covertly altering it and using it to trap people. On the other hand the freezone is making sure that the tech is being passed along and used to help free people, help people become more aware.

As somebody (somethetan!) who has benefited from studying and using scientology, the tech is precious, like a great piece of art would be to an art lover, and as such seeing that it’s been altered by the church, I naturally had no alternative but to leave them. This wasn’t the only reason, but the straw that broke the camel’s back, as it were…

At the time I was researching tech alterations I was also delving into research of some of the malpractice of scientology policy by the church. The most significant of these is the price of auditing (receiving spiritual counselling, a fundamental practice of Scientology). The policy is for an intensive of auditing (before clear) to cost one months average income for the area the auditing is delivered in. This is the policy written by LRH.

But the church has abandoned this policy and charges nearly twice the average income.

Therefore to purchase scientology auditing in the church it costs considerably more than the average income. The repercussions of this Off Policy practice has lead to scientology being branded a rich man’s religion…

I also found out about a year after leaving the church of scientology that they had changed the definition of an F/N. This is a fundamental technical term describing a specific e-meter phenomenon used in the auditing process, and the changed definition has caused a lot of problems for those being audited in the church. Bottomline is that I wouldn’t want auditing in the church based on that one alteration of tech alone.

So here you have the fundamental reasons why I left the church. They engage in the malpractice of scientology, and there lies the root of their problems, at least from my point of view.

So why didn’t I quit scientology altogether? Well, that’s where the freezone came in. I found that there was a group delivering scientology auditing as written by LRH, and that people were winning in that group. I simply swapped sides to a team that was playing a better game!
