I found records of a court case dealing with Scientology and fraud after researching Quakers because I had discovered that Richard Nixon was a Friend and I found that funny. But then this was funny too.
Plaintiff went home for Christmas and then returned to Portland in the early
part of January, 1976. She lived with several people, mainly Scientologists,
and continued to work as a waitress. She did not participate in courses or
programs at the Mission, but continued to work on "handling" her parents. In
April, 1976, plaintiff went to her parents' home in Montana to "handle" them,
that is, to convince them to accept her involvement in Scientology, or else
to "disconnect" from them. When she reached home, she was locked in the house
and "deprogrammed." She did not return to her involvement with Scientology
and, in fact, became active in anti-Scientology activities and participated in
"deprogramming" others. She filed this action in 1977.
In addition:
"We were discussing my mother and I told Kay Wilson that my mother had hired
an attorney and that she had told me all these things about Scientology I had
never heard about. My mother mentioned something about a *222 Fair Game Law
and I said that to Kay Wilson. And she said: Oh, that policy letter has been
cancelled. However, the treatment of suppressive persons is still the same."
A "suppressive person" is one who attempts to damage or interfere with
Scientology. The Fair Game policy was proclaimed by L. Ron Hubbard in a policy
letter of October 18, 1967. It stated that suppressive persons "(m)ay be
deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any
discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued, lied to or destroyed."
[FN13] Plaintiff testified that she had been shown several policy letters
regarding treatment of "suppressive persons." Plaintiff had been told that her
mother was suppressive.
Also, Scientology can cure homosexuality. |
