Letter to David Miscavige from Jason Beghe

bixbear · Joined: 07 Apr 2008 Posts: 18

One week ago, I contacted The President's Office at The Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International and asked for their help in getting my folders returned to me. The Pres. Off. artfully refused to directly respond to my request. So, I wrote a letter to David Miscavige but, when I tried to route it to him through the proper Church communication system, it was refused.

As the Church of Scientology carefully monitors all anti-scientology websites, I am posting the letter here, on xenu.net, to assure that it be received by the C of S.

A transcript of the meat of the letter is as follows:

Dear Sir,

This letter shall serve as a formal request for the prompt delivery of all my PC, pre-OT and ethics folders to me. I am also demanding any and all videos of sessions (both auditing and ethics) that were recorded of me. As I am no longer a parishioner of The Church of Scientology, no Organization or entity affiliated with the Church has any reason to further maintain them.

Please send to me all the requested folders and videos at the above address as soon as possible. I will be happy to pay for any administrative, shipping or messenger fees that are incurred while facilitating this request. The above contact information is current.

Thank you for your prompt handling of this matter.

Sincerely,

Jason Beghe

I sure hope you get them, Jason.

You deserve them and I hope you get them back. They have no reason to refuse unless they do keep these files as material to blackmail and intimidate.

If they want to do what is best for them, they will grant your request.

The LDS church does exactly the same thing and to my knowledge nobody has ever gotten their files from the LDS. I wish you luck with it but I know I will never see my files from the LDS and if I ever got them they would be a copy with the originals firmly in their possession.

This is one of the crossover things that I think works the same way with both cults I am afraid. You might be able to sue them however to force them to return your records.

Frankly, I would be surprised when they did. The CULT has, AFAIK, not exactly a history of doing the right thing.

It will be interesting how the CoS responds to this request...especially because you are a high profile ex.

But it is a very important point....why would a "church" want to hold personal files and video of an ex parishioner...

We all know the answer to that here...but most Joe and Jill Publics do not.

Good Luck Jason..

Love

You know a person shouldn't even have to ask for something like that. Its personal information(could be something very important/private) that they are holding and the person is no longer a member. Any organization that is ethical would just give you back what is yours. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten their folders back?

Some good news is that many of the PC folders, especially highly confidential folders such as OT folders, were kept in the basement of Big Blue and were destroyed by floods due to the earthquakes and bad plumbing.

Other good news is that only people considered ethics particles and otherwise unuseful staff are assigned to folder admin because those posts don't bring in the bucks. (That same reasoning was behind nanny assignments). So it is entirely likely that they really don't have your folders anymore, or if they do they can't find them. A lawsuit for recovery of those folders would really waste a lot of time and money for the cult. Cool

There is a really sad story about folder admin Peter Buttery, Class XII who got busted to folder admin after DM blamed him (and several others) for Lisa McPherson's death.

Peter fell off a stack of PC folders and had a major head injury with permanent brain damage. I am sure his wife Chistine, who was Debbie Cooks biatch divorced him, but I don't know what happenend after that.

Anybody know the rest of that story?

Not from the LDS, no. Not since 1860 as far as I know. and you know the scn watch the lds to see what they have gotten away with.

I know my husband who was on staff was denied his *records*. Jason, I hope you get yours. I believe it would be a first if you do. Personally, I know m head would spin if I saw my own. I can imagine all the useless garbage of lies they contain Twisted Evil

Question, forgetting ethics
Does the Church have a legal duty to turn over the records or do they maintain legal possession? is there any precedent here?

If the cult was smart, they would turn your folders over to you, Jason. If they don't, they are either admitting they are incompetent and lost them, or they are admitting they are holding them against your wishes for presumably nefarious purposes.

It is highly unlikely that they lost the folders of one of their biggest celebs, and if they dare to use them against you they lose the trust of every person who might have given them money.

No matter what they say you said, sessions are not signed by you or in your handwriting. PLUS, as we OTs know, the best thing about being OT is that you get to blame all your transgressions on BTs and past lives!!!

Let's see the cult explain that to the public!
