Fun new leak: The current Scientology staff application and contract

 
Over the many years we’ve been at this pursuit, we’ve posted numerous examples of Scientology price lists, life histories, employee contracts and other internal forms. But it’s always nice to get the latest versions to see what Scientologists today are filling out and swearing to.

So we want to thank the reader who shared with us an email from a Scientology recruiter that contained a couple of links. They led us to a couple of fancy fillable online documents which we’ve screenshotted for your pleasure.

The first is the lengthy application required of someone hoping to get on staff at the Chicago Ideal Org, which hasn’t even opened up yet!

And the second is a religious commitment, with all sorts of stuff that a prospective employee has to swear to as they become an indentured servant to Scientology leader David Miscavige.

We can’t wait to see your reactions to this stuff. Oldtimers can tell us how similar or different it is to what they had to fill out years ago, and of course we can’t wait to see how you would answer some of these probing questions.

OK, first up, here’s that lengthy Chicago application…

 

 
Whew, that’s a lot of info they want.

OK, so the next step is to pledge your everloving thetan to the litigation machine that is the Church of Scientology. Prepare to sign your eternity away!

“I remember training generals in Egypt. It was difficult. You say, ‘When fighting Numidians, you inevitably and invariably make very certain that your flanks are secure, because the Numidian — because of horses and that sort of thing — can very easily collapse your flanks. So one of the first things you do in fighting Numidians is make sure that both flanks are very secure. And the best way to do this is to put one flank against the seacoast. You see? And the other flank against a wadi. You see, that’s the best way to do that. No general you ever taught ever fought any Numidians on the seacoast. You see, you run into these small difficulties in training. That’s typical of Earth.” — L. Ron Hubbard, April 19, 1962

“Having an underground bunker in ‘Trementina’ is a good start for trouble between North Korea and the USA. It is said it has connection to Los Alamos and other USA underground bases.”

Past is Prologue

2002: In a hearing in Clearwater, Florida this week, Bob Minton recanted some of the testimony he had given in previous depositions. He claims that Ken Dandar, attorney for the Lisa McPherson estate, asked him to lie under oath to keep certain events secret. As a result of the hearing, contempt of court charges against Bob Minton were withdrawn. Scientology has moved to remove Ken Dandar from the case based on the admissions. ‘A. I caused two checks, one in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars to be issued to Ken Dandar and around May of 2001 and an additional check for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars issued to Mr. Dandar in early March of this year. These were checks that were issued by Union Bank of Switzerland. Sometime in Springish of 2001, Mr. Dandar said he needed money to continue with the case and bring the case to trial and he requested that I get him some money. And he said that he wanted to do this in such a way that it didn’t appear that the money came from me. He mentioned several reasons why he didn’t want it to appear to come from me, that the wrongful death case was getting to be extremely messy because of my financial contributions to the case, and that he did not wish to run this money through his trust account. That he had another means of hiding this money from the Scientologists as well as some of his employees’.”
