Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short
while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and
started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I
removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's
also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg

The idea that anyone, leastwise a non-Scientologist, can actually log a
formal protest or complaint against the CoS and receive a fair hearing,
is pretty much a fiction.
There is a post (job) within Scientology called the International Justice
Chief, which is ostensibly supposed to review complaints from
Scientologists. However, when push comes to shove, the person filling
this job generally toes the party line, and joins right in with the OSA
and Department 20 in trying to hush up and silence any criticisms
brought before it.
There is a sad case of a man named Randy McDonald, from
Tennessee, who was very much a dedicated Scientologist. One day he
decided to protest against a new type of internal policy directive within
Scientology which according to his understanding of Scientology
scripture, was not according to Hoyle (or, as the case may be, not
according to Hubbard). He registered his complaint, and for his
trouble, he was given a "non-enturbulation order. A non-enturbulation
order is Scientology's form of officially saying, shut up, don't talk
about this issue again, or we will punish you.
McDonald pushed for a fair hearing for about a year and a half, within
official channels and according to the rules he believed Scientology's
IJC had to follow.
Two "committees of evidence" met, without ever deciding that he had
done anything wrong, or presenting evidence to him, and letting him
rebut any evidence. Nevertheless, his boat-rocking and his criticisms
of Scientology management which resulted from his frustration, led to
his being declared a suppressive person by the CoS.

Please note that McDonald also had a group of anonymous archivists
storing duplicate copies of his writings, who's physical safety he
appeared to be concerned about. Why would a dedicated Scientologist
be concerned about their safety, and the safety of the documents they
had volunteered to store for him? McDonald probably realized that
Scientology's Department 20 would very much like to confiscate all
that documentation and destroy it, and that they were not above
breaking and entering to get it.

Sounds more like a ruse than anything else. Why have a policy no one
wants followed?! I plan on picketing in San Francisco and do my part.
