We want to thank the tipster who sent us a very interesting new document. We’re not at liberty yet to tell you just how our correspondent got their hands on this particular item — but that may change in the near future.
Anyway, what we’re talking about is a most fascinating item, a brand new, 2018, “pilot” application for Scientology’s Sea Organization, the folks who are so dedicated and hard core they sign billion-year contracts and promise to work around the clock for the church, lifetime after lifetime.
Before they can get to that point, however, they have to fill in an application and begin the process of turning over every bit of information about themselves to a very nosy Church of Scientology.
Now, things aren’t too crazy in this initial application. Eventually, besides signing the billion-year pledge, all new Sea Org recruits also have to fill out what’s known as a “life history” which is incredibly invasive, and requires a complete inventory of every sexual encounter the applicant has ever had.
But in this initial application, the prospective swabby is being asked the basics about whether he or she has any financial entanglements the church needs to know about. And then there’s this set of questions, our favorite part…
30. Have you or anyone in your family or friends ever threatened to sue or sued a Scientology church or persons working in a Scientology church or organization?
31. Are you here to obtain news stories?
32. Are you here to disrupt the organization?
33. Have you ever viewed websites or information that was antagonistic to the Church of Scientology or affiliated programs?
34. Have you ever considered, threatened or attempted suicide or other self-destructive actions?
Good stuff. But what really caught our attention this time was that Scientology is making new technological strides, and this application is actually a fillable PDF! Knowing Scientology, however, they probably call in the answers to the home office to have them telexed to Miscavige.
But hey, what a fun glimpse we have once again into the process of finding the next heroes of Scientology’s quasi-naval inner corps.
