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
Churilov" cultist was ejected from
askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.
Anonymous asked this question on 5/8/2000:
Are WISE businesses violating civil rights laws by requiring their
employees to undergo Scientology training?
honorarykid gave this response on 5/8/2000:
WISE is not supposed to exist. In Scientology's secret IRS agreement,
they promised to disband WISE. But they haven't. I hope that
someday soon, IRS pulls the 501c3 tax exempt status enjoyed by the
CoS.
As for employees and training, that's an interesting kettle of fish.
For some reason, Scientology has recruited unusually well in the fields
of dentistry and chiropractics.
Several people from these fields have sued their employers for
requiring them to go to "business management" and "professional
development" seminars, only to find that they are being taught
Scientology doctrine.
I don't know if any court has ever ruled this sort of deception to be a
violation of civil rights, but it is, at best, a smarmy and distasteful
thing for any employer to do to an employee, to push the employer's
religious attitudes on the employee, while holding the power of the
employees livlihood in his or her hands.
And I'm sure some employers who do this probably aren't aware of all
the alleged religious connotations and origins of the materials they
are reading, instead wishing only for their employees to learn the
crush-sell and hard-sell techniques, and the cutthroat management by
statistics principles that their employees are introduced to in these
Scientology-run "business" seminars.
But of course, some employers are themselves, dedicated
Scientologists who want to help Scientology expand by recruiting all
their employees into the church.
Such coercion of employees could be a violation of people's civil
rights, depending upon what level of insistence the employer places
on attendance.
What is clear is that these programs have a single-minded goal, to
deceptively route people into Scientology.
A message that was sent to the Theta News Exchange (TNX) mail list
for Scientologists by high level Scientologist Arte Maren confirms this.
In the invitation that follows, notice that one of the seminar topics
given to Scientology trained consultants is called "Client Delivery
Systems-Routing Clients onto the Bridge!"
