Scientology Reformation Manifesto June 19, 2011 version
Distribution
To anyone. This Manifesto is a guide for those who wish to help accomplish the goal, notification to those who wish to prevent that goal and hope to those who are indecisive.
Objective / Goal Reformation of Scientology.
Definition
reformation: An improvement in the existing form or condition of institutions or practices, intended to make a striking change for the better in social or political or religious affairs.
Purpose
Anyone, whether Scientologists or non-Scientologists, free to use those aspects or portions of Scientology they wish to use to improve their lives, without hinderance.
Assertions
It is not asserted that L. Ron Hubbard was perfect.
It is not asserted that the technologies of Scientology are all perfect.
It is asserted that there are positive aspects of Dianetics and Scientology which people can use to improve their lives and the lives of others if they choose to do so.
It is asserted that the Church of Scientology no longer practices Scientology as written by L. Ron Hubbard. The Church no longer attempts to fulfil Scientology's benevolent and beneficial intent, nor does the Church attempt to follow the teachings in Scientology texts and lectures written and spoken by LRH. The Church has repeatedly, intentionally altered original Scientology texts to pervert and undermine their intent and effectiveness.
Explanation
This Manifesto addresses reformation of Scientology, not reformation of the Church of Scientology.
The knowledge and potential benefits which can be derived from Scientology are much more important than any organization or personality. While the Church might be reformed as a result of this Manifesto, it is not intended to do so.
Critical to the success of this Manifesto is restoration of self-determination and cause to the Scientology community, both inside the Church and outside it. This will be accomplished by gradiently restoring self-determinism and cause to individuals, whether they are active in the Church of Scientology or have ceased to be active.
Debate whether LRH was a good man or a bad man, and how much of either, are not relevant.
Debating what aspects of Scientology are good and what aspects are bad are not relevant.
Each individual is free to decide upon these matters themselves.
Initiatives
Suggestions adding to or amending these initiatives are welcomed.
Your personal effort to accomplish these initiatives is welcomed.
Some initiatives are already being implemented.
A. Files
The ability of any present or former Church of Scientology member to obtain
- possession of the original of their counselling (auditing) folders and their ethics folders, and
- copies of Scientology "justice" actions folders on them, their personnel folders, intelligence files/entries on them kept by the Church's intelligence arm (GO/OSA) and any other data held on them by any arm of Scientology associated with the Church or RTC.
B. Writings and lectures
Original L. Ron Hubbard Scientology material freely available, and the differences between LRH Scientology and material distributed by the Church of Scientology clearly identified.
C. Freedom of religion
Scientologists and non-Scientologists free to practice or use any or all aspects of the Scientology religion without hinderance by the Church of Scientology or governments.
References:
Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights
C.1 Nullify copyright and trademark laws in respect to original religious works of any religion
C.2 Form groups of people who work together to teach Scientology principles and use Scientology to help others by using counseling (auditing) and other methods.
D. Public perception
Improve public perception of Scientology-related issues through increased, unbiased media articles and editorials.
D.1 Publics and governments understanding that "Scientology" and "Church of Scientology" are not one-in-the-same, that is, they should not be considered identical.
E. Restore self-determinism
Assist anyone at Int Base, in RPFs or otherwise active in the Church not of their own volition.
E.1 Utilize habeas corpus when appropriate.

Scientologese Note
In this endeavor, we are auditing the third dynamic Scientology. (YOU are included as part of the
"we".) The Scientology third dynamic "case" has been going downhill for at least thirty years. Do not expect this Manifesto to be accomplished easily or swiftly, just as one does not expect a one-shot Clear. Do not be disheartened. Those in the Church who are destroying Scientology and its organizations want you to tire, become apathetic and give up. That is part of their strategy.
What you can do
1. Decide which initiative or initiatives you most wish fulfilled.
2. Create your own cell of individuals who wish to accomplish the initiative(s) you have
chosen, or join a cell already pursuing those initiatives.
3. If you created a cell, communicate with and work with other cells pursuing the same initiative(s).
We do not have the resources to investigate who might be pretending to reform Scientology but are actually working against reformation. Therefore, we will not give you names of people to contact. You have to judge others by their actions. We suggest you remain anonymous when you first contact such persons or groups, until you are convinced of their sincerity.
Authorship
This Manifesto is a collaborative effort. In order to reduce the likelihood of real or created accusations by the Church of Scientology and its agents, the collaborators of this Manifesto are not revealing their identities.
