The
Ten Points of Reform
For more than twenty-five years there have been outcries
that the Church of Scientology abandon its abusive and deceptive
practices.
After decades of exhaustive investigation by media and government
agencies as well as firsthand accounts from hundreds of former
Scientologists, these abuses have been well documented.
The LMT is calling for the Church of Scientology to make
the following reforms:
- Tell their members and the public the truth about
the life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
- Tell their members and the public the truth about
the history of Dianetics and Scientology.
- Cease all illegal, unethical and harassing activities
against their own members and those who criticize
or disagree with Scientology.
- Revoke the policies and practices that violate the
civil and human rights of Scientologists and those
who criticize or disagree with Scientology.
- Revoke the policy of practicing medicine without
a license and preventing people from receiving proper
medical treatment.
- Stop using and abusing the legal system as a means
of harassment.
- Stop keeping the technology of Scientology secret
if it truly has the power to help the human race.
- Encourage Scientologists to speak freely among themselves.
Urge them to communicate with family and friends,
even those who may disagree with Scientology. End
the practice of "disconnection."
- Revoke the policy and practice of using private
and personal material from confidential counseling
sessions to blackmail, harass and intimidate.
- Stop using duress to extract exorbitant sums of
money from their members.

The LMT firmly believes in religious freedom for all.
But we do not believe that anyone has the right to engage
in behavior that violates other people's rights or the
laws of the land. Scientologists have every right to participate
in the world's religious community in practicing their
sincerely held religious beliefs. However, the Church
of Scientology needs to cease its abusive and deceptive
practices. |
