All of them, those in power, and those who want the power, would pamper us, if we agreed to overlook their crookedness by wilfully restricting our activities.

Scientology library: “Patty Pieniadz”
Hello, My
name is Patty Pieniadz
My name is Patty Pieniadz, I am an Ex-Scientologist and I've been an on and off lurker on
a.r.s. for
a couple of years.
Stop-Narconon: "Narconon Director Quits. Warns Our Community!"
Executive
Director Narconon ConnecticutAfter reading what OSA has been doing to Chuck Beatty and witnessing his strength and courage, I have decided to delurk and tell my stories. This post is my "short story". I have written up more of my stories in Scn and will post them soon.
I can emphatically and truthfully state that they only people
that completed the Narconon program and "stayed off drugs"
were those that became Scientologists. It was always
one of those never written about but completely understood
by Narconon staff, that unless the person became a Scientologist
and did the Scientology Drug Rundown, then there was really
little chance that they guy would permanently stay off drugs.
The unwritten final step of the Narconon program was to
acknowledge you were a Scientologist. At that point,
you were considered to be rehabilitated, but up until you
acknowledged that you wanted to be a Scientologist and study
Scientology it was considered that you probably revert.
Going OT
When I arrived home I found out that the promise of pay
for $1000.00 a week had never happened and that I was in
the process of being evicted from my apartment, my
lights and phone were shut off for non payment and I was
3 months behind in my Delphi tuition and all the monthly
payments for all the credit cards were now overdue as
well. These credit card payments came over to
$1000.00 a month. Anne had paid me very little
during the time I was at Flag. This bunch of
ethical OT's had crashed
stats
while I was gone and of course no one would dare tell me
about my financial situation because that would have
cause
entheta
and a distraction while I was on the OT levels.
Stealing
trash for OSA
It's been a long time since I stole some trash for the Church
of Scientology's Office of Special Affairs (OSA).
In Scientology, stealing trash is called the D line.
Both the Guardian's Office (GO) and the Office of Special
Affairs (OSA) liked to use euphemisms to rename those activities
that tended to be shady or offensive to people outside of
the shadowy world of Scientology. I worked for both.
I was a member of the Guardian's office from 1979 to 1982
and held the post of Director of Rehabilitation, Social
Coordination Bureau, New England (Boston org). For
this post I was responsible for running, controlling, and
managing, 2 Narconon's, the 2 Applied Scholastics and the
2 LRH-tech schools that were in the New England area.
The Guardian's
Office
The GO was extremely concerned about "plants" and being
infiltrated by "suppressive people" and "government agents".
The
harassment of Bob MintonSome of the other things that were needed in the CSW were attestations from a Scientology Technical person that I made "case gain" which mean that I made personal gains from Scientology auditing, or in the real world means that I was deeply indoctrinated in the Scientology belief system.
You just had to trust that this was the most ethical
group on the planet and you did what you were told
because they were doing this to help Scientology.
Apology to Robert and Therese Minton and their children. I was a dedicated Scientology for almost 30 years and when they convinced me that there were SP's out to destroy Scientology that at time I felt I was doing an ethical and brave thing. Of course, in retrospect, when I realized Bob was just speaking out against what he saw were abuses by Scientology, I was filled with shame and regret for my actions. |

Some, but not all, of the protesters Sunday have histories
with the religion and want to warn other people against
joining.
Radar (January 2008): "What Tom Cruise Was Talking About in
That Scientology Video"“We want to let people know that Scientology is a destructive, harmful cult,” former Scientologist-turned-protester Patty Pieniadz of New London said Sunday. A member of the Church of Scientology for 27 years, Pieniadz said she joined the religion when she was 18 years old to battle a drug addiction. After working for many years in the organization’s Office of Special Affairs, which she claims investigated so-called enemies of the church, Pieniadz became disillusioned and left. For her defection, Pieniadz said the church put her name and picture up on a Web site and posted embarrassing financial information about her past. Sure enough, Pieniadz’s picture and story are posted on a Web site called www.religiousfreedomwatch.org, along with about 50 other people it labels “anti-religious extremists.” [...]
Baffled by some of the terminology in the Tom Cruise
Scientology video? During the
brief period it was available here yesterday, commenter
Patty Pieniadz provided a handy guide.
KCAA 1050 AM (Feb. 2007): "The Many Moods of Vince Daniels:
Narconon Stonehawk" @ Xenu TV"I was a Scientologist for almost 30 years and I can translate what Cruise is saying," wrote Pieniadz. "He's speaking 'Scientologese,' which is a bogus language that Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard made up in order to assist in the indoctrination of his followers." [...]

canceled Mark Bunker's
