Scientology and Australia's 'child labour camp'
« on: February 14, 2012, 01:38:26 pm »
Right in the middle of a quiet suburb is a place where children are separated from their parents, and forced to work full time for no pay, and live in squalid conditions.

Those who've survived this place say they were brainwashed into believing they could not leave, and that they deserved the shocking treatment dished out.

A young man who escaped the place with the help of his father, Shane Kelsey says “I lived in that garage for about a year and a half, maybe two years.”

The true Australian headquarters of the Church of Scientology are located in the Sydney suburb of Dundas. The RPF base - which stands for Rehabilitation Project Force - is where Scientologists are sent for punishment and training, for crimes that most of us would regard as trivial.

More than 50 requests for interviews on camera with representatives from the Church of Scientology have been flatly refused.

The bottom line is they don't want people to know what's going on inside the centre, and those who've lived in there, like Shane, say it's like a gulag, or a prison. Yet it's in the middle of a suburb, which could be any suburb in Australia.

People would he horrified to know what has been going on in there for so many years, and continues to this day.

Shane Kelsey's mother and father were dedicated Scientologists in Sydney, so they put their son Shane into its highest core at the age of six - little Shane moved into a tiny room with eleven other children.

By the age of seven Shane says “we'd go down the streets and there'd be eight of us, ten of us, young as, and we'd go down and pledge people up to ‘drug free lives’.

“I signed my contract when I was eight-years-old. It was a billion-year contract, which means you're volunteering or servicing the Church for the next billion years,” Shane said.

“We used to do marching, close order drilling, things like that. Just because it was a form of discipline,” he said.

Shane saw his parents once a week. His mother and father would soon separate, and his dad Adrian moved overseas, and then left Scientology.

Meanwhile, the work schedule for children was fulltime, hard and without reward.

Working 35 hours a week when he was eight-years-old, by the time he was fourteen, the work changed to kitchen duty.

A military muster every morning required marching and saluting to the cause of saving mankind from the intergalactic ravages, described by the Church’s science fiction founder L Ron Hubbard.

Gods I hate this cult, possibly more than any other cult *cough*Catholics*cough* because the shit the Co$ does is somehow still under wraps. It's a shame they don't have the numbers to be considered a legitimate threat to anyone with the power & authority to crush them.
Her3tik, you have groupies.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I once asked an employer for a billion-year contract.  He said I'd be lucky if I were still around at the end of the week.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

This country does a problem with cults, but you wouldn't know it. Mr John Howard was quite chummy with a fundie christian cult called the 'Exclusive Brethern'. And the Hare Krishna have quite a presence here.

Well, honestly it's sites like Operation Clambake that saved me from wanting to join this club. That and I was warned about this group when I was younger and looking into it so I guess that predates the Clambake site.

I really hope that eventually the government will eventually see Scientology for what it really is: a sadistic, opportunistic corporation. Personally they shouldn't have made them tax exempt.

I think the worst part is, this doesn't surprise me coming from Scientology. I did a lot of reading into it, and reading the stories from those who escaped back when the Chanology protests were on.

Out of interest, but do I have this right?

Scientology preaches that several million years ago (or last week) an Alien came to earth and threw thousands of people into a volcano (for whatever reason) and that this same alien will come again and be nice to everyone, but in the meantime the souls are stuck on me like band-aids?

And do they also believe all the works of L Ron Hubbard are actually fact?

I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley!

Yes.

Seriously?

Do they say why this alien threw everyone in a volcano, or was it an early member of 4chan having a giggle?

To deal with Galactic overpopulation or something like that. The cover story was they were being rounded up for tax or something. Lemme see if I can find the South Park clip summarising it.

Edit: Even better, animation over L. Ron Hubbard's own narration on it.

Ugh...And these douchenozzles are still allowed to operate? How in the HELL? If there aren't limits to freedom of religion, shit like this shows there should be.

Religious liberty should stop where the freedom of others begins.

I think there was also a part about the souls being brainwashed by psychologists, where they implanted all world religion and false information into the alien souls, for some reason I don't know.

But beside that it matches what I remember, it's not even a bad Science Fiction story, bad Science Fiction stories should either make more sense or be at least more entertaining.
