In celebration of the first group, The Life Improvement Center, to be certified by the IFA as fully applying Lafayette Ron Hubbard Standard Technology, an Amnesty is issued in accordance with HCO PL 6th of March 1965 Justice Amnesty Policy.
All moderations on IFAChat will be removed. All Ethics Files cleared.
David Miscaviage, The Religious Technology Center and the Church of Spritual Technology are not included within this amnesty as they intentionally operate outside the scope of agreement within the Freezone and the general public.
We look forward to seeing more groups become certified and encourage them to do so.
After some rigorous testing and inspection, the International Freezone Association (IFA), today was pleased to certify the Life Improvement Centre of Forest Hills, Tampa, Florida as fully qualified to deliver Lafayette Ron Hubbard Standard Technology.
The Quality Control Officer of the IFA Mark stated, "I inspected their training in progress. I looked over the materials they were using for training and in counseling … I've inspected so I've seen that they can standardly provide all services they claim to deliver"
The Life Improvement Center is owned and run by Anita and Les Warren In Forest Hills, Tampa, Florida. Their services include:
The purpose of the certification process is to uphold and substantiate a specific standard of application and delivery of standard technology of the original working philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard to the level attained by the individual as originally instituted by Lafayette Ron Hubbard.
It was Ron himself who introduced the certification process in the form of certifications and oks to audit, issued by the Qual and approved by HCO and the Keeper of the Tech. These were not fanciful titles but in fact a recognition that the individual can and does apply the technology in the way Ron expected.
The certification process will provide recognition for practitioners that their application of the technology is of a satisfactory standard, undeviating in its application and delivery so the results remain predictable and stable.
This provides, for the clients of the practitioner, the knowledge that the practitioner is on source, knows and understands and can delivery the practical aspects of the original philosophy as outlined by Lafayette Ron Hubbard.
"This certification is an assurance that the philosophy and technology of Lafayette Ron Hubbard is still practiced in the field if not in the church." Stated Michael Moore President of the IFA. "We have an increasing number of people accepting and applying the professional standards of delivery demanded by the public."

The Church of Scientology™ Vs Scientology
The philosophy and religion of scientology is as far from the official church (consisting of the private non profit company called Church of Spiritual Technology, the Religious Technology Center and the Church of Scientology International) as it is possible to get and still be on the same planet.
When Hubbard was alive the church did indeed practice scientology and expanded and helped many people to become more aware as beings. The philosophy was promoted and people were welcomed into the church. Families and family life was promoted and the cost of the services were reasonable.
After his death, however, a new regime took over and all that changed. The emphasis became money dedication to the exclusion of all else and a paranoiac obsession that anyone not with the church was against it. Church members were not allowed to look at the internet or anything the church management deemed contrary to church doctrine. A classic case of violating one of the basic doctrines of the philosophy.
Many of the original followers that assisted Hubbard with his research were booted out. Scripts and books were changed and a very effective 1984 job has been done on the literature and auditing and training, the basic services the church was set up to deliver, is at a stand still.
Even the wife of Hubbard, a tireless supporter, has become persona non gratis with the church.
The philosophy of scientology is not practiced in the church. The church is now a vehicle for making money, not for "spreading the word". It is a misnomer to say that that the church practices scientology because it does not anymore. The only scientology you will find practiced, is outside the church, in the Scientology Freezone.
Most of the current critics are critical of the church, not the philosophy, the basic principles of which they are probably unaware. Many get confused of course and cannot, or do not differentiate between the message and the messenger. In this case it is the messenger that has turned sour.
But what is of concern is that many critics, and the fellow in the street does not have a clue about what scientology is. All one gets is rhetoric and a diatribe of, "its bad", "Scientology kills people" or "scientologists eat babies" and other such idiocies. No, the church may participate in dubious activities but certainly any self respecting scientologist will not as it goes against the very principles by which he or she subscribes. The bald ignorant statements of, "they be all bad over there" is not a sound approach for adjudicating the merits or otherwise of any philosophy, whether practices by critics or church alike.
Ask people if they know what the ARC triangle represents, or what is a stable datum or what the eight dynamics are and they would not have a clue. How many people actually know what scientology is? Not very many! They do not even know the basics of real scientology.
But their criticism of the church is very different kettle of fish, and very very understandable. In the eye of the freezone scientologist, the church has committed the unpardonable sin of suppressing the original philosophy and, instead, imposed an authoritarian dictatorship totally at variance with the original philosophy.
So it comes as no surprise when the church gets attacked with such vehemence. It is a betrayal after trust. A failure to deliver what was promised. Indeed an active suppression of that which is supposed to be delivered.
Unfortunately the baby often gets thrown out with the bath water and that is what is occurring here.
By contrast, the International Freezone Association (IFA) is committed to keeping alive and practicing the original philosophy as researched and discovered by Hubbard. People participate and become members, supporting the IFA in its purposes of preserving, protecting and promotion the original philosophy.
The International Freezone Association (IFA) is an independent scientology group consisting of scientologists who prefer to stick with the original philosophy and technology as researched and developed by Lafayette Ron Hubbard.
The IFA has become an alternative for the seeker of truth and a second chance at freedom for the true scientologist. A safe haven for scientologists world wide. An alternative to the church that is scientology in name only and practices the original philosophy no more.
There is no hidden agenda here and, although the church may own the trademark to the word scientology, they do not own the trade mark to the truth.

Scientology 8-0 The Book of Basics
A critical analysis and comparison of the book "SCIENTOLOGY 0-8 The book of Basics, A critical analysis and comparison between the 1970 and 2007 versions" has been published this month. Authored by Andreas Grosz, Dipl.-Ing. and published by Gold Century Press, the book offers a detailed analysis of the changes found in the current issue of this boook of basics.
The book is free for download and is available at:
Scientologists Freezone website and at the Gold Century Press website.
It is a recommended read for all scientologists alike.
The Future of Scientology
The Freezone seems to be entering an era reminiscent of the early days of Scientology and Dianetics.
More and more people are finding their way to the Scientology Freezone.
Some dissatisfied with the official church and seeking a viable alternative. Most new to scientology and curious about it.
It seems the more attempts that are made to restrict the Freezone the larger it grows and the more presence it has. Each prod, each harassment, each attack seems to impel it to grow just that bit more. The datum, well known in scientology, that one gets what one resists comes to mind here.
Each time Tom Cruise, or his family, features in the news, more people spring to the internet to find out, "What is this scientology?".
Many find their way to the Freezone either through search engines, existing Freezone sites, groups or discussion lists.
The Freezone is experiencing a growth with record enquiries to all the major groups.
And there are many groups working towards a purpose of getting themselves and others up the bridge as to Clear and OT as fast as possible. Whereas it can take many many years and a considerable amount of money for those parishioners under the influence of the Church, many in the Freezone enjoy the rapidity of particle flow and move up the bridge in months according to the steady stream of of success stories.
It also seems that now any remaining differences between the various groups is slowly being overshadowed by the overall purpose to preserve the philosophy and technology and use it to increase peoples personal spiritual awareness. The Freezone is collectively a group in it's own right, of scientologists who practice the applied working philosophy of Ron Hubbard and are not held down by the fixed idea of copyright and trademark being more important than the spiritual development of mankind. Instead, are free to pursue the road all the way to the top one way or another.
The scientology freezone is truly the Free Zone of scientology.

The Sea Organisation Executive Directive by Richard Reiss, The apparent Senior C/S Flag Service Org is
about as off policy as one can get.
Using threats of ethics to enforce an added inapplicable in the field to
follow a policy that was originally only for Church auditors and,
importantly, for ORG PCs is a wrong target and will continue to ARCX the
field.
The issue quoted is, HCO PL 8 March 1966 “HIGH CRIME”
The quote is:
"TOLERATING THE ABSENCE OF OR NOT INSISTING UPON STAR RATED CHECKOUTS ON
ALL PROCESSES AND THEIR IMMEDIATE TECHNOLOGY AND ON RELATIVE POLICY
LETTERS ON HGC INTERNS OR STAFF AUDITORS IN THE TECH DIV OR STAFF
AUDITORS OR INTERNS IN THE QUAL DIV FOR THE LEVELS AND ACTIONS THEY WILL
USE, BEFORE PERMITTING THEM TO AUDIT ORG PCS, AND ON SUPERVISORS IN TECH
AND QUAL WHO INSTRUCT OR EXAMINE OR FAILING TO INSIST UPON THIS POLICY
OR PREVENTING THIS POLICY FROM GOING INTO EFFECT OR MINIMIZING THE
CHECKOUTS OR LISTS" - LRH
This policy letter by LRH does not call for field auditors to be
threatened with ethics if they do not apply this to the current wave of
ALTERED BOOKS AND TECHNOLOGY being forcibly rammed down their throats.
This smacks of totalitarianism at best and suppression at worse.
The issue states, "Those field auditors who noncomply will be reported
to I HELP (A misnomer in terms if ever I have heard one) and will be
investigated as regards their technical application and for any other
violations of their license agreements."
The term, 'noncomply' is a covert way of changing an act of omission
into an act of commission and is evidently being used to imply, in this
case, that field auditors actively have counter intention.
While it is probably a good idea to verify ones understanding of the
basics of the philosophy, being forced to do so under threats, the
implied accusation of being a criminal and possibility of being barred
is the total opposite of what scientology stands for. This is likely to
drive the auditor in the field away from the church and into the arms of
the scientologists Freezone and I think we should prepare for an influx
of disgruntled auditors!
HCOPL 10 dec 1969 SUPERIOR SERVICE IMAGE says:
"Its an old Maxim IF AUDITING IS OCCURRING IN THE
FIELD ORGS WILL BOOM"
"Its no real concern of ours to try to hold the
field versions standard. They mess up pcs and
students. They always will. A militant org attitude to
keep the ~field~ straight is silly. Let them flub as
you are trying to control something you cannot. "
Makes one wonder if it is the intention to drive the field away and
shrink the church even more. This seems to be yet another attempt to
destroy scientology from within.
The Sword of Damocles hangs over Miscavige poised waiting…..
Once Upon a Time in Scientology
Once upon a time, many years ago, the Church of Scientology used to be the place to go to study the Scientology philosophy. Thousands of people did so and became scientologists enjoying the benefits obtained from the original philosophy just as Ron Hubbard developed it.
However, since the demise of Hubbard in the early 80s this is no longer the case. Times change and the church changed. New management has resulted in a different scientology being promoted. Alterations to the original philosophy developed by Hubbard have been documents and are easily seen by comparisons between the originally issued materials and the latest issues of the same materials.
Nowadays, to get the original philosophy, you now have to go to independent scientology groups such as the International Freezone Association (IFA) for example.
The IFA is a sort of protestant scientology group which prefers to stick with the philosophy as originally developed by Hubbard rather than the later 'updated' version currently followed by the Church.
Often regarded as a splinter group by the church, the IFA and its members follow the original teachings of Hubbard based on the original philosophy which Hubbard researched and developed which was so successful in the period up to the early 80s to give to people the best possible way of improving their lives.
The IFA operates outside of the church and has a list of members who are practitioners of the original philosophy. "We believe that the church has deteriorated since the demise of the Founder, and has taken to practicing a radically altered version of the original philosophy resulting in a more dissatisfied public and poor public relations." said Michael, President of the IFA. "As a result there is now a niche for the person wishing to get back to basics and study the original philosophy and the IFA is here to fill that niche." He said. "We are only interested in, what is known in scientology circles as, standard technology, which basically means the 'original applied working philosophy' just as Hubbard developed it."
"There are two distinct scientologies now" he went on. "The Church of Scientology and the International Freezone Association".
The IFA has a website at http://internationalfreezone.net from which further information may be obtained about the original philosophy of scientology.

Top Ex-Scientologist Found Dead
Press Release:
International Freezone Association
1st June 2007
Top Ex-Scientologist Found Dead
Ken Ogger, a long time scientologist was found dead in his swimming pool three days ago.
According to Ogger's girlfriend, "He was found dead today, on May 29, in the pool of his house. When the police took his body out, his hands were tied with a wire, and a heavy concrete thing attached to his feet. We were supposed to have a date on Monday night. Monday was a Memorial Day in America. He didn't come. He had never broke dates, and in case of any changes he always warned me. I couldn't reach him on the phone, and eventually drove to his place. His mother opened the door. It turned out she had no idea where he was. His car was there, so we assumed that somebody picked him up. But what worried us most -- no calls from him. The phone in his house was broken, but he never called me either. It was last night, on May 28, Monday, the Memorial Day. Today when I came to Ken's mother, she said at the door: "He is dead in the pool"."
Ogger had been what is known as an old time scientologist from the early days and was well versed in the philosophy. He wrote a number of works about the philosophy and its application. He had also been an outspoken critic of the new Church of Scientology regime since the demise of the Founder of the church and had been, according to posts he placed on the internet, subject to continual harassment by the Churches infamous Dept of Special Affairs (OSA).
The Church of Scientology is perhaps the most litigious in the world not hesitating to sue at the drop of a hat. OSA, their secret security 'arm' continues to harass ex-scientologists (known as Scientology Freezoners) around the world in an attempt to prevent them from practicing their religion despite, at the same time, crying wolf and protesting freedom of religion around the world.
Recently, continually provoking of a BBS Panorama TV Crew resulted in a screaming match observed around the world.
An Autopsy is due to be performed, meanwhile tributes continue to flowing in around the world for Ken Ogger from scientologists in the Scientology Freezone.
