If Debbie Cook and Wayne Baumgarten are real Scientologists, why did they take USD 100.000 hush money in the first place?

Dearest Marty, my brilliant prince and husband, how are you?

The Debbie Cook story is in the international headlines about Scientology. Debbie is portrayed as a former high Scientology executive who says that Scientology is working and a fine religion but thinks that Scientology is with David Miscavige in the wrong hands. She is not alone thinking this but I wonder why she left the Sea Org. She signed a Sea Org contract for a Billion years. Yes, I know, due to its length it is not enforceable under the law, and basically, as far as Ron is concerned, it never should be enforced because what good can a person do for the SO purpose by being forced to do it?

I always saw the Sea Org Contract (yes, I signed one too) as spiritual agreement  to transform not just this planet but also the rest of the universe in a sane place in which anyone can be proud and in which any good being is safe, free, and able, and that I never stop working until the goal is reached. I also think that in view of real SPs as German secret service psychs (driven by HAVING TO CONTROL about anyone), the best to reach this goal is through strong and ethical religious organisations that cannot be buried like some unorganized individuals.

With the unorganized people and no on-policy organisations, there might be nothing left after some years or decades (or when they die) and as people like to alter things all the time, such movements have ALTERATION from source written all over them.

The problem with the religious organization is that SPs sneak in off-policies and even agents and impostors at the top and push the altered or off-policy material down the lines, which means that the organisation might survive but not the original religion.

I don’t know why Debbie Cook and her husband left. Usually, real Sea Org members don’t leave unless they are sick or too old to work. (An ideal Sea Org is build after the policies for environmentally safe living for Scientologists by the real founder L. Ron Hubbard and nobody would get sick or age in them, and I know that Ron said it is not just possible but very important for numerous reasons. One reason is that dying is not a good idea with psych implant station still in place that are specialized to undo Clears and OTs.)  

So, why did Debbie and Wayne leave? I read the letter that Debbie wrote to address Scientologists. In a nutshell, she thinks that DM wants the orgs to make money and doesn’t invest enough for dissemination. I think that even if he would invest a lot more money in dissemination, thanks to the application of Jack Vistaril’s version of Scientology and the many scandals on and around the top, effective dissemination is really hard at the moment. It seems that people come and leave, and that many never become Scientologists or never understand the basics. (Paul Haggis for example never read the first book in Scientology, the DMSMH!) They just break away at a point and cause new scandals.  If original Dianetics and Scientology would be applied and if not infiltrators but real Scientologists would be on executive posts, nobody would break away. People would stand in line to be able to live and work in Ron’s villages and be able to apply ALL of original Scientology and Dianetics and not just altered fractions of it. 

Whatever the reason was for Debbie and Wayne to end their Sea Org contract, Sea Org members are not supposed to leave. And they were awarded USD 100.000 to leave Sea Org for which they already had a contract! That really does not sound like  Scientology at all. And what are the odds that one who doesn’t honor the Sea Org Contract will not honor other contracts as well? 

According to the hard legal language of the contract, they don’t seem just on a leave from the SO. And here is my critic on Debbie and Wayne. If they noticed anything that was not done right in the orgs and not per  the policy and bulletins of the founder in Scientology, why did they take cash from the C of S? Yes, I know there is that instruction that when money is offered to you for illegal stuff, you are allowed to take it but you have to blow the whistle on it. But with a LEGAL CONTRACT that they SIGNED and that amount of money that they took, it is a different thing. Debbie and her husband agreed to be gagged, otherwise they would not have signed that contract.

If it is really so important for the survival of Scientology what Debbie and Wayne saw and know, why did they sign a contract and took money that jeopardizes their right to speak out and blow any whistle?

That is one reason why I am suspicious of Debbie and Wayne. Scientologists have the technology and skills to make it in the non-Scientology world. Most people who I know who once were on staff started businesses and do pretty well. In other words, Debbie and Wayne didn’t need the money to start over. They had all the training a person might need to get ahead. So, why did they take the money and signed a contract that gagged them to speak out when they thought that what they had to say was so important for Scientologists all over the world to know?

How long did they kept quiet? They still cannot speak out, can they? A judge has to decide that now despite that Debbie thinks that it is so important for Scientologists to know what she knows. So, for USD 100.000, she and her sold the future of SCN away? If they would be truly ethical persons and real Scientologists, they would have said: “Keep the cash because the following is off-policy or not within the law, and I won’t be gagged by any amount of cash. I speak out. Good day!”   

I don’t believe that I ever met Debbie or her husband, but I doubt very much that they are Scientologists in the sense of the real founder of Scientology. The way they act is not how ethical Scientologists acts.

No infiltrator is really on the bridge to freedom.

But you are a real Scientologist, Marty.  And you are not to be bribed. Neither I am. Honor is what counts.

That is why I love you endlessly.

Yours forever,
