NON-SCIENTOLOGY STAFF
Whether by fate or fortune, you have found yourself to be a member of a
group
that has an interesting technology and a definite set of standards of
conduct.
Whether this is fortunate for you or unfortunate, you are yet a member
of this
group by the simple fact of working in it.
That you do not have any knowledge of its technology does not make you
any
less a member of this group.
You are only expected to uphold certain standards as a member of this
group.
These standards are rather easy to understand:
1. This group has accepted you at face value. No one of this group will
hold your
past against you. A person entering a Scientology group is looked upon
as a
person whose conduct now is important, but whose conduct in the past is
utterly
unimportant.
2. This group is composed of people who want to get more able in life
and to live a
better life. These people have, unlike others, enough courage to face
their own
past and misdeeds and recover from them. Ordinary people most often run
from
their past or blame it on others. When you see a person upset in an
auditing
session, it is because he had enough nerve to try to face his past and
get the better
of it. Such people are stronger and saner than people who, like chips of
wood,
merely drift on life's river, or who cry and moan in the eddies that
life has "done
them in".
3. A person does not have to know Scientology to be a member of a
Scientology
group. They only have to believe people can be or deserve to be helped.
4. This group believes that honest people have rights and that dishonest
people have
sacrificed their rights by being dishonest. The definition of dishonesty
is whether
or not a person is trying to hurt his fellow human beings with malicious
talk,
hidden actions and injustice or outright crime.
5. This group frowns heavily on trying to prevent people from being
processed by
cautioning them against it, lying to them about it or just being
ignorant of it.
6. This group believes that making a commotion around or talking around
an injured
person can hurt his chances of recovery. As this has often been proven
to be true
and can be demonstrated, members of this group do not talk to or around
or
make commotions around people who have just been hurt. They work quietly
and
silently to help the injured person.
7. A member of this group may be a member of any religion.
8. This group refuses to speak ill of Scientology or criticize it to
outsiders.
9. This group will not talk about Scientology to members of the press.
