Scientology Church gave me weapons training as part of mission to 'clear the earth'


Full size

SCIENTOLOGISTS are furious about a new book by an Irish writer that is set to expose the controversial church's military plans - including a sinister mission to 'clear the earth'.

Author John Duignan claims to be a former high-ranking member of the church's secret army, the Sea Organisation or 'Sea Org', which answers directly to leader David Miscavige.

His book, The Complex: An Insider Exposes The Covert World Of Scientology, details the weapons training he received at a naval base in Los Angeles and claims he was being prepared for the 'clear the earth' operation.

But a furious spokesman for Scientology Ireland has bitterly dismissed the claims as 'rubbish' and 'stupid'.

Scientologist Gerard Ryan sad: 'It's absolute baloney. It's all just rubbish. These are just the same old accusations that have been made on the internet and it's all lies.

'Anyone who believes everything they read on the internet is just stupid.'

Mr Duignan, 45, from Carrigaline, Co Cork, joined Scientology - the religion favoured by Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise and Juliette Lewis - aged 22 after he was approached by a 'very attractive blonde woman' to sign up while living in Germany.

He left his job and his girlfriend and dedicated the next 22 years of his life to the church, quickly rising to became a member of the Sea Org, an extreme and exclusive elite within Scientology with around 3,000 members worldwide.

Mr Duignan says he 'escaped' from the religion in June 2006 and has been writing about his experience.

A spokesperson for Merlin, the book's publisher, said 'In The Complex, John looks back on the 22 years he served in the church's secret army - the hours of sleep deprivation, brain-washing and intense "religious counselling" he endured.

'He talks about the church's military-training programme and the punishments handed out to anyone who transgresses, including children.'
Mr Duignan, who claims he was paid less than $50 (€39.50) a week, exposes the techniques used by the church - which he says is not a religion but a money-making organisation - to collect money from its followers.

It also details his work in the church's secretive 'celebrity centres' - purpose-built centres for high profile members such as Cruise, Lewis, John Travolta and Isaac Hayes, all of whom are outspoken followers.

But although the book is yet to be released, it is already sparking fury from Scientologists.

Mr Ryan accused the author of associating with fundamentalist Christians and being bitter over his relationship with Scientology.

Asked why Mr Duignan would make accusations against the church, Mr Ryan added: 'this man is now associating with fundamentalist Christians and he knows full well that these claims are not true. People like him don't gave the same beliefs as the church so they just attack it.'

'I am not going to read something that says the only reasons for Scientology is to make money. That's baloney.'

But Mr Ryan denied the Church would take legal action if false claims were made in the book, saying Scientologists 'believe in free speech'.

Describing Mr Duignan as 'not all that senior', Mr Ryan went on: 'he was head of missions in a number of countries - sure, you're in charge but it's no big thing. He was never very high up in the church. He was more like a priest. All I'll say is, he wasn't promoted. He never contacted me about any of the claims in the book.'

Founded by science-fiction writer L Ron Hubbard in 1953, the church has been embroiled in a series of controversies including a high-profile court case in Ireland when Mary Johnson sued the church and three of its members claiming they had subjected her to mind-control techniques. The case was settled for an undisclosed sum in 2003.

The church has struggled to gain a foothold in this country with only a few hundred members, and is being monitored in Germany as an anti-democratic organisation.

The Complex is due on the shelves on October 31.

If 'Anyone who believes everything they read on the internet is just stupid.' .... then presumably that also includes visitors to:
Official Dianetics Site
Official Church of Scientology website
L. Ron Hubbard Home Page
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard
etc etc.

I find it amusing how every single 'rebuttal' of anti-scientology stuff is almost word for word the same.

So he's received an advance copy? I'm jealous.

That's true. You should be critically-minded when you read anything on the internet. Now, about the book... Anything? Nothing? Oh.

No, that's just one reason. If you were to say "making money, the eradication of mental health, and complete subjugation of humanity" then he'd be right on. Oh Gerald, you and your weaseling!

Glad to see we're having an effect.

Here's hoping Germany won't be the last.

Who Is David Miscavige?

Ya Baby! Thank you Mr. Duignan!

I lol'd so hard when I read this part:

"But Mr Ryan denied the Church would take legal action if false claims were made in the book, saying Scientologists 'believe in free speech'."

"Scientology is essentially a spy and mind-control network set up to extract the most money it can from it’s members as well as to enforce the maximum amount of production out of each individual, at minimal or no cost to the organization. It’s as simple as that. " - John Peeler

... presumably that's why Fair Game is still practised.

"But Mr Ryan denied the Church would take legal action if false claims were made in the book because he knows they'd generate a lot of free publicity for the book and get raped by both the courts and press."

There, fixd it for you.

I should lurk moar, but it is the first time I hear about weapon training in the SO. I have heard about armed guards at Hemet, but if the author was an "average" member of SO, as stated by the scientology representative, why give him weapon training?

It's also the first time I have heard of weapons training.

Now they won't be able to claim he never was a member of the organisation.

A.Non Hubbard

To give credit where it's due, they usually never deny past membership. Unless the person never was a Scientologist, such as Christian Markert.

Who Is David Miscavige?

Oinkertron9000

There have been a few ex-members who were denied (for a short amount of time until it was noted that the Scilons lied through their teeth about them being members)

Do you think that Mr. Duignan is the guy that used to post on Enturb? Can't remember what name he went by. But I do remember him posting about the book that he was writing and that he was in Ireland.

Anyone else remember?

The author John D. also says.


I think I´ll just go ahead and link this to the ESMB thread.

The Hamburg section apparently did after the conference

Also, I'm not sure whether it's established fact Markert never was a Scientologist.

looking forward to reading the book

It was "only at an introductory level, how to recognise different fire arms, how to load them and how to hold them properly." He was trained under Jeff Porter, who was Security Chief at OSA INT (the HGB) at the time.
