I'm hoping to make it late because I have an unbreakable commitment :( All that lovely video footage of rickrolling pirates dancing the hornpipe--I DO hope I get out in time!
Thanks anon8109. All I could think of when I listened to those tapes was how this fit into anti-oppression analysis. I didn't see anything around from that perspective.
thank you, I can just imagine the time and energy spent on this one...it is such a sad TRUTH, but education is the most powerful weapon that can be used to break the chain of silence within this CULT......
It's been 24 years since I read Orwell's 1984. (That's right, I read it in 1984). So my memory of the details fade. But several things are burned indelibly into my mind. One of them is the concept of Doublespeak, or how one can control the political debate by controlling the language.
I guess you could say Scientology is double plus ungood.
"That's the problem with all jargon, really. It insulates people from reality."
I disagree. Language establishes reality, including the 'actual' reality you speak of.
Like any tool, language can be used for good or evil. Scientology's term 'ethics' is evil because it displaces the common meaning of ethics (making it unavailable) and substitutes obedience. On the other hand, I'd say 'tech' is a useful addition, and I note that the critics have adopted it (e.g. 'Gandhi tech').
wow, I am speechess.....beautifully done with a POWERFUL message..."no person is your friend who demands your silence or denies your right to grow".. Alice Walker-- Thank you AnonOutreach, job well done.
Scientologists are all Hubbard's abused houswives.

Thank you for your kind words. It simply occurred to me that no one had used an anti-oppression analysis of the situation.

I'm just trying to point out to CoS members *why* they feel so frightened and alone.
The very freedom they sought by joining CoS is being systemically ripped away from them through a series of abuses.
If it's any consolation--that was one of the most personally painful vids I've ever felt compelled to make.
It is however, I believe, someone called these tactics exactly what they are.
Crimes against humanity.

Brilliant analysis of how scientology under cult leader David Miscavige acts like a spouse abuser towards its members and critics.

Very powerful questions. Somehow, I doubt the people who run Scientology want the rank and file to be exposed to such questions.

Tempting to run off some cd's with these vids and dump them on the doorstep, really.
So anyone who knows a CoS member is welcome to give them a copy...

Great job, as any of your videos! Keep on the outstanding work. It will be recognized more soon!

Thanks MaryB. I added your quote to the side with credit>>>>
That quote just proves to me that you ought to try your hand at vids:)
It was an emotionally draining video as I listened to Scientologists describe their experiences and put them into context.

What's sad to me is that they're isolated by language as well--all that Sci-jargon. That's how their reality gets silenced.
I refuse to use it--it stops communication, it does not increase the ability to communicate.
English is a direct and clear language. Jargon is designed [including Psych-babble] to obfuscate not enlighten...

That's the problem with all jargon, really. It insulates people from reality.
