Norsk scientolog forlater Scientologikirken

Geir Isene, som har vært scientolog lenge og nådde nivået OT 8 i 2006, har brukt to år på å tenke seg om og har nå bestemt seg for å forlate Scientologikirken. Han viser til at lederen i Scientologikirken, David Miscavige, slår sine underordnede og maner frem en voldskultur, samt at Scientologikirkens ledelse virker er mer opptatt av å kjøpe flotte lokaler enn å praktisere Hubbards lære.

Isene vil fremdeles praktisere scientologi, men i frihet.

Geir Isene's Doubt writeup on the Church of Scientology, 2009-08-07

My name is Geir Isene. I am a Norwegian public Scientologist. I became
a Scientologist in 1984. In 2006 I attested to OT VIII. I have had an
enormous amount of spiritual gain from my 25 years in Scientology. I
have seen similar gains in my family and friends and in countless of
others I have met and helped with the teachings of Scientology. The
gains are there to be had but can be suppressed by malpractice and
suppression of free will. After two years of extensive research, I
have decided to leave the Church of Scientology. I am not leaving
Scientology, only the church. In fact, I consider that the present
management is not practicing it's teachings, and that in order for me
to continue practicing Scientology, I need to leave the church and its
suppressive management. The management of Scientology is creating
massive bad PR for the technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard and
others. By equating the Church of Scientology with the Scientology
Technology, the church is lending it's bad PR to the technology
through its oppressive acts.

I acknowledge and validate the many good staff and public
Scientologists that are working assiduously to help others with
Scientology. I acknowledge that great results are accomplished. It is
hard work indeed. It is made harder by mismanagement.

Isene skriver så ned en såkalt "doubt formula" der han analyserer hva som er galt med ledelsen, og hva som må gjøres.
