This is an HTML conversion of a series of messages to the Usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, which posted the highlights of the "private" Scientologists-only mailing list, TNX-L, the contents of which were leaked to the "wog" world by some unknown member of the list.

Although most of the messages in the entire set are of little interest to non-Scientologists, most of the ones excerpted here show quite well the face that Scientology hides behind the mask it presents to the rest of the world.

One critic of Scientology, David C. Smith, waded through the entire set of messages from 1995 to sift out these gems:

Hi, AOL/TNX members,
I've worked hard to get a solution to this anti-Scientology/attack thing going on in the America OnLine (AOL) religion folders.
OTPilot suggested some good things, and I tried to apply them this Sat. morning.
Any other AOL members should post something or send e-mail to Sermoner1, the AOL staff member in charge of this area.

The military and police where ALL the males serve a year out of high school are now considering taking our kids and using them in a program we are starting to educate their other soldiers and police.

We are now running LRH seminars in the Police academies. We have a Brig. General who wants his troops trained on Book 1 in addition to ARC and Ethics Presence.

It really does go on and on. The police and the military who we delivered to for free to begin with our now paying us.

- Dick Weigand (on CoS in Columbia)

There is a whole project underway on this and I would prefer any member of AOL to contact me via private e-mail to discuss it if they are interested in helping.

- Mark Pope (on SCN AOL boards)

Also, as Mark let you know, we're busy handling the America On Line (AOL) Scientology folders.
Please post something on there if you're an AOL member.
AOL is fast growing, over 1 million members now, and we need to have AOL folders in great shape for all interested to read.

HATTING: Doctors call shock therapy ECT, or electro-convulsive therapy. Technical name. They HATE when we call it shock treatment. So, please call it
shock treatment when you e-mail anyone. Drives'em nuts.

- John T. Jarrett

3. The action is more PR than anything. We are delivering to the schools and gov't for no money. The military and police are starting to pay. But, this is a poor country.

- Dick Weigand (on CoS in Columbia)

Well, if you can't punish people into reposnsibility, and you can't not punish people into responsibility, what can you do? As usual, the only workable tech is Scientology sec checking. Only you and I with out sleves rolled up pulling O/W's will get this society out of the mud. Maybe this is why LRH declared Scientology non-political.

- Doug Bradley

I'm saying this partly because I know how exciting it is to make contact with people who are supposedly dead, and how comforting it is to know they aren't left at loose ends or to fend for themselves in the afterdeath. And to know that people continue to learn and expand and to do fun things.

- Marina McInnis

VWD on your death-handling win. I've had wins like that as well with my wife's grandfather, an aunt, etc. I've found getting in comm and then having them run Reach and Withdraw on the body usually pops them uptone enough so they can get on with their life, quite literally.

- Tom Lauricella

A society gets the government it deserves, there won't be some flick of a switch to sane government but a movement upscale as more and more of society becomes sane. (Obviously knocking out the psychs will be a big boost to that).

- Steve Turnbull

I am ok with theta comm with kids, people and cats, but I still have trouble picking up comm from plants like some others can. (probably too many M/Us and overts on that dynamic!) :>

- David

If you are on a major on-line service, I've got a GREAT way to end any anti-Scientology bashing.
I've almost got a major win done against the so-called "Free Zone" folder on AOL (America On Line).
Let me know if you've had problems with your folders or bulletin boards, and I'd like to help.

- RonArtistR@aol.com

      I have received an immediate-action-needed alert from the Sacramento Legislative Action Committee regarding California State Senate Concurrent Resolution 9 (SCR 9).

      First, the Legislative Action Committee was established by a few of us Scientologists to support the OSA here at the Sacramento Org in its efforts to keep an eye on legislation going through Sacramento. We will occasionally lobby for or against various bills.

      Second, SCR 9 is one of those pieces of legislation that OSA, NCLE (National Commission on Law Enforcement and Social Justice) and we all want to see defeated!

- Randy Weber

Personally, I hope that Scn gets a good usenet group rather than AOL, because the major online services such as Prodigy, AOL, and CompuServe all have access to usenet newsgroups, but the net doesn't currently have access to any of their forums, just email (that I know of).

- Larry Williams

Here's an update to my previous post - I finally got the "Scientology" page to come up:

http://falcon.cc.ukans.edu/~sloth/sci/sci_index.html
                      Very BAD page!! :(

- Kelli Howard

My company (which is based in NY) has several job openings, for Scientologists. If you qualify, or if you know someone who could fill the post, please E-Mail me.

- Dan Jablons

Dear Len...words well spoken. I wanted to also relay to you and to the other TNXers some wins regarding using books and the power of LRH. Some of you may know that I regularly troll alt.religion.scientology for real live newbies who post there looking for real live scientologists. A few weeks ago...a 23 year old college student posted to a.r.s. saying he had picked up Dianetics and read it and thought it was pretty good so what was the deal with Scientology? He had been reading a.r.s. and had gotten a bad picture. I emailed him and we started a rather lengthy comm cycle...he had some really good questions and while reaching pretty hard, needed some dead agenting.

My impression is that we are currently positioned incorrectly amongst the Net community, as "those people that tried to close a Newsgroup (shock! horror!)" or even "people who want to censor the Internet". This is completely false of course, because the main objective was to remove the publishing of copyrighted materials (particularly advanced course stuff) from a.r.s., and to remove real SP entheta designed only to harm.

It is a matter of distinguishing between "cutting an entheta commline" where a suppressive person or group is involved, and applying the "handle" step of LRH's dissemination formula when generally communicating to other folks on the Internet. There are after all, only a handfull of SPs, against literally millions of other netcitizens, the vast majority of who, in my experience, are really nice folk.

- Mike Phillips

If a Pre-clear or someone in the non-interference zone was to point his or her web browser at an entheta web page, or check into a newgroup such as a.r.s, it could cost them valuable time in session. I have yet to find anything on the 'net (besides TNX) about Scientology that is really theta. It is not even worth looking for out there because, if it exists at all, it is buried. We have ALL of LRH's works in books and tapes. Why look on the Internet? It ain't there, folks! It's in your LRH library! ALL of the data is in the books and tapes. Yes, even the OT data, for those who are curious. It has always been there, direct from Source! It's all in the books and on the tapes. There isn't, and never has been, a hidden data line.

There is nothing wrong with any of us trying to shut down illegal Web sites, hackers, entheta forums, newsgroups, etc. And it is perfectly OK to post a message to TNX saying that you have found one, and have taken action against it. Well done to those who do this! :-)) You are to be commended for your alertness and willingness to fight back!

I just read a despatch from DSA MV in ref. to alt.religion.scientology. This site is being handled by the DSA.
It contains data posted by abiut 15 or 20 *declared* individuals. It also contains Squirrl OT level material. Accordind to the despatch we as Scientologists shouldnt even be acking the people on this board by responding, correcting or reading this material. If I remember correctly, being in comm
with a declared SP is a ethics outpoint in itself. My thoughts would be to let them have their little spot to chat amongst themselves, and the DSA will pull the rug out from under them like they have with any other SP's that have posted copywritten materials on the Net.
